My boyfriend and I have been together for a few years . He broke up with me three times in the past . The first two times, we were only broken up for a couple days, so I suppose it wasn't a real breakup .
But last fall he broke up with me for 4 months . We got back together after a few weeks of talking about getting back together (I didn't want to be too quick to take him right back) .
Since we've been back together, I've noticed that my heart seems to be very cautious around him . I don't want to be too nice, hang out with him too often, or plan too much for the future out of fear that he may break up with me again . I don't want another broken heart and I can't seem to see a future with us anymore .
The problem is, my boyfriend has been wonderful to me . He adores me and goes out of his way to do everything he can for me . Other than the period when we were broken up, he has always been this way . He really is wonderful .
I feel that I should break up with him . I haven't really felt like we're "together" since the last breakup . But I know breaking up with him will break his heart and I just can't bear to do that .
If that's the way you feel, then you've got to break up with him . He's wonderful and adores you, yet you can't find happiness with him .
Just be sure that you aren't feeling this way out of resentment because he broke up with you . Relationships sometimes revolve in this sort of cycle where only one person of the two is in love at any given time . If your relationship continues in this way, you'll both end up miserable and unfulfilled .
