writes:My boyfriend of 2 1/2 years has all of the sudden become very distant. I believe that his friends are pushing him away. He is a senior in high school and I am a junior. He thinks that he wants to be more independent now and not have a girlfriend. How can someone decide something like that so suddenly after 2 1/2 years? It hurts me because I really love him. He is just so caught up in being a senior and starting college next year that he thinks that time changes everything. It's not like I'm that far behind him in age...only one year. Please help me! It's really hurting. And also... we are going on a break for a week so he can decide what he really wants. I'm not sure if I should avoid him, or talk to him. What is the best idea?

 Avoid him. A break isn't a break if you're contacting him every five minutes. Tell him at the beginning of the week that you're determined to be mature about this and will stay out of contact for the week to give him time to think. If you're too clingy you'll just push him away more. And you should use the week for the same thing, to think if your relationship is still working or if it's become stale and also try and think of ways to cope if he decides he does want out of the relationship. Even if he does you will survive. It happens to us all at some time.
