TygersDream agony auntWell, sometimes a whale is a sperm and sometimes a whale is just a whale. Since there are so many unresolved problems between the both of you, perhaps he DOES feel relieved to have a break and to be able to have time for himself. I wouldn't say he's HAPPY to be rid of you, or that you're such a burden to be around, but perhaps this isn't the right time for you guys to hook up.

I completely understand the heartbreak you're going through: who WANTS to be faced with such a big smiley face when you break up with the guy?

At the same time, however, I think your parents are right about guys keeping face. You have to examine the time and place you told him about wanting a break in your relationship. You told him in the middle of a basketball game with his friends? You should have planned better, sweetheart, if you wanted an honest reaction from him.

For now, Cry all the tears you want to cry, but accept the fact that you chose a bad time. When your head and heart's all clear, give him a call, admit that you overreacted and apologize for your timing. Ask him if it's a good time to chat, and then explain that you still want a relationship when all your problems have been resolved, and ask him if he still feels the same way.

If he does, then end the chat on a good note. If he doesn't, then I'm sorry, but you'll have more tears to cry. But you have to remember to pick yourself up, and decide to move on.
