writes:my boyfriend and i have been dating for 1 1/2yrs. we are both 21. We both love one another dearly. The last few weeks we have been arguing over little things. We both get defensive and emotional. Now he is ready to call it quits. He said he is not sure he can stay in a relationship with me if he keeps doing things to hurt me even though he isn't doing it on purpose. He says he loves me too much and cares about me too much to see me cry. I believe that we can work this out. To me the problems aren't that serious. We are both unsure if we should stay together or break up. Can you give me advice on what to look for when a relationship is over? Reply to this Question

No harm in trying to work it out if you don't think the problems are that bad. See if you can figure out what is triggering it and what was going on in your lives when it first started. Try to make him understand that it isn't that bad, unless it is causing you to cry, then maybe it is worse than you are admitting. Of course, he might also be using it as an excuse because you're hurting him more than he's willing to admit.
