The history:My ex-boyfriend and I were together for five years. In five years this will be the fourth time breaking up. I KNOW four times is too much! he is 29 I am 26
First break at ONE YEAR....I had a hard time moving on since we were engaged. I thought he was perfect and no matter who i spoke to they just didnt compare. At two months he came running back and of course not healed i took him back w/out thinking.

hi there. you came to the right board. i came here crying my eyes out and 1.5 months later I'm doing better.
What I got from your post was that you two are in love and love each other very much. But, you aren't two separate individuals who can stand on their own. Love can't work with two people like this.
