Question - (23 April 2007) 1 Answers - (Newest, 23 April 2007)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

So my boyfriend and I have been going through a rough patch lately. and he says if we keep fighting he wants a break, but he doesnt want to break up. at the time of us fighting i just fight with him and dont really think about anything, but when i look back on it later that day, it seems like it was all my fault.

So today, for instance, we went to dinner at his parents house, and then after he was sleeping on his brother's bed and i was watching a movie. i wanted to go back to his house but he said he was so tired from his game earlier. so he took me home but i was mad because i felt like why even ask me to go to dinner at your parents when you are so tired? but he took me home and we ended up getting in a fight because he wanted to go home and i wanted him to stay at my house for a little while. (i am 16, he is 19, and lives on his own)

looking back on it later, i was thinking WHY AM I SO CLINGY?? but i feel so unwanted when he doesnt stay. i can't stand being bored and doing nothing. is that why i dont want him to leave? is there anyway to stop me from getting into it with him when he wants to leave?

i know exactly what you are going through! You do feel unwanted and maybe you are being a little clingly as he is a little older than you but tell him your only like that to show how much you love him. He should feel priviliged. However remember to also give him his own space, if you spend to much time with each other your love will turn bitter because you will get on each others nerves. Rememeber absence makes the heart grow fonder. Gud luck.
