Recent Break-up
Fri, 10-01-2004 - 12:05pm
My boyfriend and I had been dating for three years and almost everything had been great. Some fights here and there, but that is normal in a relationship. We traveled for the first time together in July and were gone for 10 days. Those ten days were perfect, no fights, no arguments, nothing. It surprised both of us since we were with each other 24/7. After we got back though, everything turned around. He had these wild mood swings and blamed them on working two jobs, but he was working both before we left and never had a problem before. He also complained that I never let him go and hang out with his buddies, which isn't true, he just has never actually asked me or told me, afraid that I will get mad, but how would he know that if he had never asked. And when I bring anything up that is bothering me, he just goes to sleep! We just recently broke-up, from these issues that have been arising these past few months, but still hang out because we are "just on a break". I want to be back with him, but he is not making an effort to change his behavior, even though he told me he wants to change. He also started talking to some of his ex girlfriends the day after we broke up and has made plans with some of them. I can't help be jealous, but should I tell him that I am, or just let it be?
