Okay, so I’ve been with this boy for four and a half years. I’m 20 and currently in my sophomore year in college. My boyfriend and I started dating in highschool and decided to go to the same college together, and as it turns out we also have the same major (so almost all of our classes are together) and live in the same hallway of the same dorm. I know, I know – WAYY too much time together. I love him dearly, and we’ve had a pretty rough relationship the whole time. Distance, he got naked pictures from his friends from home, break ups.. we’ve had a lot in our 4.5 year span. But i really feel like lately our relationship has been drastically deteriorating, but I’m not sure how to leave it, if i can leave it and if its a good idea. I feel like he doesnt respect me, we have very little sex life (and what we do have is only because he wants it, not really cause I want to), I have zero sex drive, we fight and bicker all the time about the stupidest things, I have very little trust in him despite my efforts to trust him. I know it really seems like a lost cause, but its so hard to just leave. We see eachother ALL the time, in fact its hard to get away from eachother. We have classes together in which we are partners. All of my friends are his friends. So what do I do, do I leave now because I know I’m unhappy and try and stick out the last 2 months of school, do I wait till school is over, or do I talk to him and hope that things change (which they do – for about a week and then go back to what it was). Our relationship is comfortable, and I do honestly love him, but love shouldn’t be this much work. We just go back and forth all the time. I just don’t know what to do. I’m scared to leave and be partner less in all my classes, have no friends cause they will all side with him, have no chance away from him to be on my own – so I might go back… I don’t know.. Any advice or questions feel free!
