Ok as you guys know, my boyfriend and I have been together a bit and I have always complained about his moodiness. Well Wednesday night we had a big talk about where our relationship is headed and he said that he doesn't think that its perfect and he doesn't know if its worth continuing, which kinda hurts after you dedicate your heart to someone. But thats not my question.

So my best friend comes and picks me up anmd we head up to the bar for some liquid healing. He calls me while I am there and I tell him I am obviously not in a position to talk and for him to call me when he gets up the next day. Soooooooo, he doesn't call the next day or yesterday (yeah i know hes a dick), and I don't want to call him b/c I wanted to give him time to sort out his thoughts and whatnot, but I am not gonna sit here for a week wondering if I still have a boyfriend or not...So heres the question...Should i call or not...If u were him would u want me to call?

Dont call...its exactly what he wants you to do. With men its just one big ego game for the most part.
As for his moodiness,I wouldnt know, I stay pretty complacent for the most part.

Make him come to you, he is the one that called the shot in the first place, let him be man enough to finish it.

In my opinion, calling him would be somewhat of a signal of submission to him.

I would just sit back and wait,
Just my thoughts,

NOPE!! don't call, if someone has made up in there mind that they don't need you, or the relationship is going no were, then he doesnt feel the same way about you, as you feel for him, and probibly never will.

me and my girlfriend broke up 2 days ago after 3 years, because me and a friend were talking to 2 other girls in a parking lot, because she was wanting to know how much i was selling my car for, then my girlfriend drove by, and saw us, and she wont talk to me anymore.......little does she know, that the girls we were talking to were 16, 6 years younger than me, and they both had boyfriends. it's just funny that she's so stooped, and didnt even bother to ask me what's up..........

anyways, sorry about my story, but, NO i wouldnt call him, if he said that stuff, he did mean it, no matter what he says now. so just forget about it and try to move on...

Ok, but I was like ...So what are we doing now, are we done? Or are we working on this? And hes like I don't know I have to make that decision. So technically, we're not broken up b/c he never broke up with me...

Call him and let him know your done with the relationship. After that empty out his bank account. Call his mom and let her know he takes drugs etc... No wait I hated it when my exgirlfriend did that to me. Oh what the hell.

Dont call him, if you guys have been together for a really long time and he doesnt know what he wants and now he is telling you that you have to wait on his decision, then just tell him to fuck off..... It sounds like he is trying to fuck with you and see how much control he has on you. Even if thats not what he is doing he is acting like a real dick...... I mean it seems to me that he must not truly love you and if thats what your looking for you should leave him now before the shit gets dragged out and you end up breaking up anyways...... From what you have said he sounds like he has his mind made up and if he doesnt call you in a week you should just call him up and let him know YOU have decided its over

well sweet that is what guys say to a chick when they are tired of the relaytionship. He doesnt want to just come out and say "we are through".

Call him and tell him it has been fun, you will always remember the good times, goodbye.

If you drag out the break up you will end up hating each other, trust me I have been there. goodluck and it will only hurt for a while.

DON'T CALL!!

WCP and the Buff-man are right...It's an ego thing with men....we all like to be pursued...that's what he wants....time apart may make the realtionship stronger.....it may break it completely, it's always a gamble.

My personal opinion is that it takes two to make a realtionship work...not one who is moody being carried by the very backbone of the couple(you)!!

Give him time...while you can have more time for your friends....enjoy it......let freedom ring......who knows who you will meet...cause, It's all good sister!!!

Ok, I am still not calling, but I know I am gonna see him at this club next weekend, so then what? Should I go naked to piss him off? LOL...and dance with other guys in his face? or should I just go with the girls and pretend I am ok even though i am not?

I also had a problem with my girl of 3 years. We've been living together since the 2nd week dating. She's from Europe and has been living in NY with me. She was supposed to go to Europe to visit her family for a week. Well, I got a call the day before she was to return that she wanted to break up. She then said that she jumped the gun and just wants some time apart (much cooler). Being the nice guy that I am I went over there and brought her some of her stuff (I needed some closure). Things are 10X better now. We don't call each other everyday like we used to. She calls me and I can tell that she wants to be together sooner rather than later. So after my vacation this summer I'm moving over there to live (like we had planned before our problems).

Why the sap story? I say give it some time. It hurts but through time you'll realize if he's the one for you. Codependancy is sometimes the root of it all. If you call him be almost apathetic. Don't get into emotional conversations. Trust me. Once I got over my initial sadness and became more optimistic/accepting about a future w/o my other half, she changed back to the girl I fell in love with. Don't be too proud to call if that's what makes ya feel better.

i was originally gonna' advise you to be a "bigger man" than he is and to call him, but i think the advice the others have given is correct...unfortunately sometimes guys are stubborn and think that calling is like a pissing contest but i think if he really wants you he'll give in and call.

CaptNCrunch basically has spoken for me on this one. He and the otehrs were right about the control thing.

There is no point in calling him. He's the one that he needs time to sort things out, so let him do that.

In the meantime, do a few things without him. Have some fun with your girlfriends. Go to a different club next weekend if you haven't heard from him. There are a lot of clubs in the Long Island/NY city area. ha ha

Seriosuly - he went away from you - let him come back

Blackhaus,
I've been married for 12 wonderful years.

The secret at least for us has been that neither of us take ourselves too seriously.
We realize the ups and downs of life, but unless it happens to be life threatening, don't sweat the small stuff-it will pass.

Sum it up this way: Enjoy yourself and life, nobody knows that like you do. If you get caught up with mental conflicts within, trust your instincts, act on them. You may make mistakes but that is how we learn-by making them. Just keep moving forward. If your boyfriend is truly devoted to you, he will follow. If he doesn't, then he was not worthy of you in the first place.

Enjoy life!

You know I think you need to step up and act like you have a Pair of Balls for a minute....Screw him...Don't wait on his sorry ass....You decide....One way or another...Whatever you decide put it to him like this..."This is what needs to happen or get the Hell out" Just straight up be an asshole right back...cause it will let him know your serious and not willing to take his crap...

My story:My ex and I broke up at the end of Jan, well it was a break so to speak...well by the time Valentines day had come and go we decided we were going to continue the break and not get involved seriously with anyone...FastForward to Last night...Thanks to my neighbor down the road who called me to get me into a yahoo chat room...I found out my ex is now engaged...I laughed and starting making a joke out of it and soon as she knew it was me...she started getting all defensive and questioning all the girls I knew there, as if she was my girlfriend still....What a joke...

So the moral of the story....take charge and screw being nice I hung around and wasted to much time trying to Figure things out so to speak.....There's a time for sensitive and understanding and theres a time to go to the matresses....

Go and Stand Tall...end of peptalk

email me and let me know whats up....

hey girl, i know we tease each other. . (know i still love ya) but i think he's answered your question. he told you that he needed to think if you two had a relationship.

i can only speak for me but if the girl i love asks me if she's the one or if we have a future i'd step right up and say "HELL YEAH"

i don't mean to be a downer. if you're the one he'd speak up with out a thought. but that's just me.

i hope you find what you're looking for!

Black,

Hope you didn't call. Because if you do, and you "bawl him out" (How old are you? 15?), all that will do is show him that he can shit on you whenever he wants.

Do you want to be shit on? If he doesn't know if he wants a relationship, guess what? He doesn't.

Here's a reality check: He's working on someone else right now. If it doesn't work, he'll come back to you because he knows you'll be there for him. So this time don't be. Unless of course you want to be thought of as Plan B.

How about this: you don't deserve that shit. Fuck him.

Matt

Most guys don't have the balls to just tell it like it is so they avoid the rif-raf and just leave us hanging. It is a proven fact that men are not sure of themselves and don't know what they really are searching for. Women on the other hand do. We are caring and compassionate by nature. We want to love. That so called boyfriend of yours doesn't deserve you. Go get a man you don't have to wonder about. Hey, and if you find him, let me know if he has a brother!

FUCK HIM...NOT literally. Forget him he obviously cannot make a decsion about the woman that cares for him deeply.

to give up your heart is a big thing, and if he is going to ? how he feels, then he obviously does not give 2 shits about your feelings.

I think he went out and cheated on you. After he was done he felt bad and realized u might the one worth waiting for. BUT he fucked up.

just my opinion

STEAK HELMET:
I noticed that too - that he tried to get with someone else. I still think that's what happened - and the other girl said NO.

Blackhaus1: - No flame but the "15" comment was because I don't think he even really deserves your attention unless he can show up in person and apologize and maybe then you can forgive him. Maybe.

REDHOT: I disagree about men not knowing what we want. More accurately, I think, we don't always know when it is there.

But then again REDHOT, you live in Alabama and from what I have seen of that place, 99% of the guys are worthless.

Blackhaus,
Sorry about your breakup. It's got to be one of the worst feelings in life. It hurts bad but it eventually goes away.Judging from all the posts above you're probably tired of comments and advice but here goes anyway. From reading your posts and looking at your pics, I must say your a very funny, smart, attractive, and sometimes very stubborn(heh heh, LOL) girl. If he's not smart enough to know what he's got and treat you how you should be, then it's his loss and maybe this is for the best. Sorry again and hang in there.

Black...

Look at it this way. There is 1 perfect someone out there. If you are with someone, and you are not COMPLETELY happy at anytime (small tiffs / issues excluded - cuz everyone has those) with the overall situation, don't think twice. Drop the dud. That's what I did with my ex gal. I am not going give them a piece of my life because I am afraid I am not going to meet someone new. There is ALWAYS someone for everyone.... in a nutshell: You only live so long... right?

Not to jump on the bandwagon, because that's surely not my style, but I wouldn't call. Life gone before you realize it. Why spend it being unhappy? I'm 25, and if I make it to 75 I've lived a third of my life!! There are so many incredible experiences to be had in this life......and I don't believe that people like that should be part of the plan. Believe it or not, there are people out there who can and will give you what you deserve.....the perfect partnership

I can't answer your question about would I want you to call if I were him.....because if I had the opportunity he has, I surely wouldn't be acting like he is.

Hope this helps.

Am i the only one who notices, but why did you two guys break up? Maybe he wasn't getting a constant supply of pussy, or what? Cause if he was thinking if he should be with you, that means he already was banging somebody else who gave him whatever he wanted? Maybe he wasn't getting any from you so he found somebody else.
