my boyfriend and i have been saying that we're perfect for each other since we started dating. but yesterday i told him that i was worried about if we ever broke up. and he said "i will never leave you" and i said "but what if i leave you?" and i love him so much and he wants me to promise that i wont leave him, because ive told him that i never will break up with him. but i told him i couldnt promise that.

i am just worried that it isnt going to work out between us in the long run. i hope it does, but i think im thinking this because my parents are divorced and i've never really seen love actually work out. am i thinking too much into this? or what?

mylove_5757 agony auntthanks so much for all your advice. i sat him down and told him to not talk while i talked to him and i told him that i loved him with all my heart but i dont want to tell you that im going to be with you forever and in the end have it not work out and we both be heart broken. so i just want to say i love you right now and i love you in the future but i just cant say that. and he said he understood but he just felt like i was going to break up with him. but once again thanks guys. : )

oh darling,

if you keep thinking negative then you will lose him. but in the mean time why don't you just focus on positive things about the relationship rather than worrying about the status of your relationship with him in the future.

enjoy every second, every minute, every chance that you get to be together. you shouldn't fret too much over this.

take care & best of luck! & remember think positive! :)

cd206 agony auntNo, you're the one who's right. You're both far too young to be committing to someone and saying you'll be together forever. So many things can change for you in the upcoming years that you may simply fall out of love. After all, it happens! The best thing you can do is pacify him and tell him you love him very much but forever is a long time so he doesn't have to worry about the status of your relationship and that he can always talk to you if he has any concerns.
