Okay, so you’re both 18 and you’ve been dating for two years now, but he’s at college meeting lots of single women, and you’ve been at home getting anxious and expressing that anxiety to him. It’s tough when you feel your partner is slipping away — the best method for getting him back is to compete, but so many people just get depressed and needy, and sadly, that pushes them away more. 😳 It sounds like that’s what’s happened here.
College is one of the few places where there are so many single, available and interested people in one place for at least four years. Most 18 year olds want to experiment and college is the place where they do. Lots of people who were in long-term relationships, find that in college they want to break off those commitments and try new people, new things and new types of relationships. That, coupled with your downward emotional slope is what led your boyfriend to break up with you. 😳 I know this is sad for you and I’m sorry.
If you have a chance to get him back, you have to understand that being needy is not sexy and it turns off a lot of guys. Instead of telling him your problems, your only shot is to bring your A game and compete for him! 😉 The problem is that he’s met someone new, said he’s falling in love, and he’s trying to break up with you by saying, “Let’s be friends.” He’s saying he wants to be friends because he’s trying to let you down easily. 🙁 I think that unless you accept his reality and change your tune to one of competition, the relationship may have run it’s course.
