It's just not working for us!

Question - (24 August 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 24 August 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Just some quick advice.

Me and my boyfriend were friends for two years before we got together. We got on well together, but these days it still feels as though we are just destined to be friends. He never understands that sometimes I need some space, and is constantly asking what I am up to, sometimes when he knows what I am up to! Working. Its really getting on my nerves.

Just this weekend I had a day out with my female friends, and then later I asked him to join us, but he refused saying he was shy. I know he is shy, but, he already knows one mate really well and the others by this time had gone home. And then of course he complains we don't spend any time together.

I know I want to end the relationship but I feel trite just by saying it is because he doesn't make the effort and is always asking questions. I get the same text every day. Hows it going? How can it be going anything when I have just woken up. I know I sound petty but its just not working. I just don't know how to explain it any more without getting confused. Hope you get the gist.

Thanks

janniepeg agony auntIndependence is what attracts you to him initially but now he realizes you are seperate beings. He feels that he's not special for you. He didn't feel that you would be showing him off to your girls, rather you would just be bringing him along just so he wouldn't be lonely. That's the reason why he didn't want to go. I think it's wise to end it. You need someone you are excited to see at the end of the day, and not to worry whether he's happy or not.

TimmD agony auntCan you imagine life without him? Or at least not as your boyfriend? Sometimes relationships don't work out. Often in a male and female relationship that is just friendship there is a curiosity that brings the two together romantically. That doesn't always equal a long lasting relationship.

If not having him as your boyfriend doesn't break your heart, then perhaps you shouldn't be together.
