I Think He's The One... Am I deluding myself?

I don't know the whole situation, and I don't know what you mean by issues, but this is what I hear,...

You two have been in a relationship rollor coaster for the past 2.5 years (I am guessing that you are usually the one that breaks up with him). Now, after the break up this time, he sounds fed up with the emotional bungie jump, and is now "enforcing" the break up to protect himself.

You have learned a 'TON' in past 2 weeks since you broke up probably because you realize that you can't just get him back whenever you decide to get back with him this time (he is 'enforcng' it) and it is making you consider your mistake.

So,...

If you were on and off because of silly drama then you should talk to him, and say that you want to work through that, and that you care for him enough to start working on serious communication (that is all that could help with future break-ups over drama) to save what you DO have.

If you were on and off because of the "issues" that you talked about, then you may look at the foundation that you talked about (and make sure it's not just that this is comfortable - because it's what you know), and that you don't want to invest the time into someone else), and consider if it's really strong enough to build a relationship on, or if you should move on to find a relationship that is not so much work or heartache.

If I am completely wrong,... then I wouldn't really worry about anything because your relationship has bounced up and down like this for the past 2.5 years, and there would really be no reason for it to change now.

It seems like you really have some soul searching and reflection to do,...

Hope this helps, best of luck.

Damn girl, when you find out, you let me know. Communication is a huge issue in relationships and in a long distance ones it just makes it harder. I say, let it cool off until he's in town, and then you'll both know what's right when the sparks fly.
