Should I give him another chance?

You should never "HAVE TO WAIT" for someone to change. First of all, you don't have to do anything for anyone but yourself. Second of all, you've waited a year, if you feel like it's time to give up, then that's your right.

But when it comes down to it, I know how you feel, and I know it's more complicated than that.

THE BIGGEST PIECE OF ADVICE I CAN GIVE is that you shouldn't do something you're not ready to do. You shouldn't leave him if you don't feel ready to leave him. If you do this, you guys will just begin a LONG LONG LONG off and on relationship. I know it doesn't seem like "you guys" to have an off and on relationship, but that's what happens when people start to get feelings that you're having right now.

You should give him a chance to explain himself, but let him know you're not happy and you're not going to deal with it. Honestly, (I know you don't want to hear this) but you're to the point in your relationship where you have to play games with his emotions and vice versa. What's happening is he's taking you for granted. He feels like you'll always be there and he's starting to be interested in new and exciting things, while treating you worse and worse as a result.

So, how does someone go about not being taken for granted? Well, I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this out personally. What you need to do is remind him of two things (with actions, not speech). The first of the two things is that he loves you. He needs to be reminded that he loves you. Second, he needs to be reminded that you won't be there forever, and that he can still lose you. If he realizes these two things, it won't be long before he's on his knees trying to earn your forgiveness. Be warned though, it can be hard to do and if it's not working it may be best to just leave him and find someone else.

Basically, here's my suggestions:

Don't text him so much. Make him start to wonder why you're not being as clingy lately.

Start texting other people. Not necessarily other guys (though you can do that if you want) but just make sure that you're texting other people on a consistent basis. Text your friends, family, or whoever while you're around him and get him to start wondering who you're talking to.

WHEN HE ASKS YOU TO HANG OUT, tell him that you already have plans and that you'll let him know when you're free. Wait a couple of days and ask him if he's busy. If he ignores it, just forget it and try again another day.

All of this stuff is to try to remind him that you don't need him, you just want him, but that you're willing to leave if he keeps treating you bad. It sounds to me like you're more needy than him. Your major goal right now is to make him just as needy as you. In a good relationship, both people have the same amount of neediness.

Most importantly, you have to be serious about this approach. Don't see it is "an attempt to get him back," see it as "an attempt to show him that he's going to lose you if he doesn't change" and be serious with yourself about it. It's important that in this time in your life, you watch your own back and be prepared to lose him. Relationships don't always make it through rough patches, but it's not the end of the world, so don't see it as the end of the world. Just surround yourself with people who care about you and remind yourself every day that you deserve better.

Just remember that if things end up working out, STOP PLAYING GAMES WITH HIS EMOTIONS. If things are good, let them be good. If you keep controlling his emotions while things are good, you will turn into the problem, not him. Just sometimes in a relationship, the person that's behind has to take charge and try to fix it. Right now, that's your job. Good luck, it's a journey, but a lot of people are going through the same stuff, you can handle it.

I agree Scoundrel. you will be able to offer a minute or 2 for a poorly wound watch, yet 7 minutes in not suited. And your logic is sturdy on course. by way of the 4th date it is going to ba an hour you would be waiting finding like the twerp. sturdy call my buddy. I truly tend to be very stingy while it comprises 2nd opportunities. If it replaced into important to her she could have been there 10 minutes early, not 7 minutes previous due. i does not supply this female yet another possibility to circulate away you status there. circulate away her the place she is.... dumped.

Tell him how you're feeling. Tell him what you just shared to us. If he acts like he doesn't care less, break up with him. It's not awkward or unfair. Do what's best for you. You're young. You don't need to be in a committed relationship.
