A female United States age 16-17, anonymous writes:

okaaay. so my boyfriend and i are on the verge of breaking up because he's been doubting our relationship for quite a while. but the only reason he hasn't broken up with me, after discussing this with everyone but me, is because i wont ever break up with him. so obviously, he thinks its safe to cheat and stuff and ill forgive him (i forgave him twice)

well, im sick of it and i want to show him that im not that easy. im sure he still has feelings for me, but i feel like he doesnt respect me.

how can i make him respect me? should i ignore him or ? i really wanna make him jealous.

bemused agony auntHi hun.

Sounds to me lide you are considering the trade off here. You stay with your cheating guy and still have your man. You leave your cheating guy and you get back your self respect. Which will it be?

I would not waste a New York minute plotting and scheming to devise ways to get even to see if he cares ect.

By staying with this guy you are teaching him to disrespect you and all women. By leaving you are showing him that his little game does not work with all.

Do not have it in the back of your mind that he will miss you or come crawling back to you. Wipe him out of your life for good and work on your self esteem but doing things that make you remember what makes you special.

The right guy ( ie..one who is faithful and eyes for only you) will notice this and this damaging relationship will long be a thing of the past.

Good luck hun and keep us posted.

If you want to make him jealous, then maybe you are thinking of cheating on him? It would be a good test, to see if he could take it as well as dish it out, or if he really doesn't care, and is just going to ditch you as soon as you do something he doesn't like. However, I think the best thing to do is just let him go. He doesn't respect you and you'll never earn his respect by putting up with this stuff. Maybe he doesn't want to date a woman he respects. Maybe he wants someone he can walk all over. In any case, you deserve better.
