Stressed Boyfriend/scared Girlfriend?

I think your boyfriend is wanting to end your relationship but doesn't want to be the bad guy any more than what you already feel he is. He is feeling cornered and has so much stress on him that when you complain about wanting time with him it backs him into that wall even more than he already is.

If you don't want to lose the relationship I would suggest laying off of him. He is stressed out (as you said) and he needs some time to put his head on straight. Let him know that you are here for him if he wants to talk or have someone to hang out with but you will wait until he approaches you. Then you do exactly that. Let HIM call YOU. If two days pass and he doesn't call you then you should finally know where you two stand. If he starts calling only when convenient for him and doesn't take your thoughts into mind then I would really re-consider where you think this relationship is headed. Do you want to be merely a convenience for someone, or a serious part of a serious relationship? If you want to be the serious part then this is not the guy for you.

Good luck.

Stress, especially over money, can really wear on a relationship.

I know how he feels. I want my GF to have everything she could ever want, but I don't make much money, and I feel like I'm letting her down all the time. I was unemployed for awhile and I thought she would be better off alone than with me, because she had to help support me for a couple of months.

Just reassure him that you love him, not the things that money can buy, and that eventually things will get better. Try to find things to do together for free or cheap. If there's a concert you want to go to, but he doesn't have the money, don't mention it to him, or he'll fell bad that he can't take you.

When you feel like you don't deserve to be with your partner, it can be really hard to convince yourself otherwise.

Im sure its scary for you to be alone, however sometimes couples need time apart to sort out their own issues. Your guy definalty sounds like he needs this time and you dont want to smother him while hes getting back on track. As long as hes trying to work out his problems than the two of you could persue a future. Until then, a break might be in the best interest for both of you.

Plan a carefree time that doesn't call for a lot of money. Sometimes just a good meal, barbecue, light lunch and some home entertainment can work. Maybe he thinks he isn't giving you everything you need or want. It is up to you to BRAG on everything he does, big or small and make him feel like he is really important to you. (even if he messes something up find something positive to say about it) Its up to you to make him feel important and needed. Do you tell him?

Just let things be for right now. I know you want to spend time with him and stuff but don't nag all the time about how you don't spend enough time with each other because he's gonna get tired of it and he WILL break up with and that's not what you want. Occupy yourself with other things for some time. Make him miss you and feel bad about how he's neglecting you. You'll have him in the palm of your hands. Good luck!

Hey.....I am going through a similiar situation. Give him his space don't stress him out any more about spending time with you. Give him a chance to miss you. Don't call as much hey don't call at all sometimes they need a taste of their own medicine to get their act together.

ok this is what you do i know your not gonna wanna do this but it works cuz i did it you need to break up and stop tlkin for awhile you guys need a break and then you get back together you'll be so much happier i promise

well first if i was you i know its going to hurt but you just need to tell him okay if that is what you want i guess i will let you go.

trust me it has happened to me but he liked some other girl but i know i cryed for like a week straight but i knew i had to let him go. and then my mom made me realized thta why am i wasting my tears for some guy:)

that kind of stress in a relationship isn't good, take his advice, you are better off alone or with someone else. it will be his loss.

i think he just cheat on you

so u break up with him first untill he breakup with you
