Relationship Stress / by Lainey87

...See more Me and my boyfriend just broke up recently over the weekend. We have been together for a year but have been friends for the last 8 years. Although our relationship has been off and on we have managed to get through alot together. Usually after our little break ups we end up right back together trying to come up with the things that gets to us and what we can do to make things different. But this time feels different. I feel as if they are different because most of the other times we have broken up he was at fault but this time was on me. Now instead of talking to work things out like before he says he wants to be alone right now. And i get that people need time and space but i just can’t seem to let go for now. He’s my best friend my only friend and we still love each other. Plus we still have to see each other everyday which isn’t making things any better for me at least. I want things to go back to how they used to be before all this.

...See more I've been in a relationship with a man that I was friends with for 8 years before starting a relationship and we just broke up. During our friendship i was single finding myself and how to be open to love again and he was in a relationship but we would still see each other. After coming together I imagine everything would go great but no some stuff i would have never imagined happened but cheating wasnt an issue. I guess over the course of our friendship we opened up to each other and never really had a falling out before, but you never really know a person until you live together. We both saw flaws in each other and had no problem with pointing them out, but not without getting disrespectful. So after 8 months he decided we should be single while working on ourselves, but still see each other from time to time as if we are still together. I agree we have things we need to work on individually but either we gone work on things within ourselves and be together or just be single n work on ourselves. This is the 2nd relationship I've been in and not sure how to feel.
