Situationship
Relationship Stress / by reservedPenguin6652

...See more I keep letting him treat me poorly and when I asked him if he wanted a relationship he said no he wants to work on himself and then said he doesn’t want to lose me , but when I asked if I should return his stuff he says keep it just in case . I don’t understand what I should do , I mean I know I shouldn’t complain because I’m the one staying and I chose to . But it’s so hard to let go even if they treat you wrong , how do you finally chose to let go . It’s been going on 2 years of this situationship

...See more my ex and I were together for 11 months and he left me many many times during our relationship. Then we broke up and I stuck around and helped him with everything I could because he was very depressed then he went to a inpatient facility and he told me to wait for him after he said he lost feelings for me and after I begged him so many times . But I waited and he asked me to be his gf while I was there and he told everyone I was his gf . Anyway he came back been here for a week or so and now he left me again after I’ve been waiting and helped up get back on his feet when he got home and paid for everything. Now I’m lost and hurt again

On again off again

...See more My ex and I have been in this cycle off on again off again for 11 months after our breakup . At one point do you just call it quits . Of course I love him and the thing is I never once left him . He’s been the one doing the breakup and or saying I lost feelings then will come back and say I don’t want to lose you and then it just repeats itself over and over again . I feel drained ( which should be the hint to leave ) but I want us to work but how will I know if I agree to start over agin I will end up getting hurt again in a month . It just feels like he does want me but unfortunately he been in a mental health facility for a month and it’s not like I don’t trust him .. but I feel he might just be saying he loves me and wants me back because he’s lonely there ? Idk it seems harsh to say that . But I just confused with it all . He calls every night but how do I really really know if he truly wants a commitment with me . He’s going to have to focus a lot on his treatment after and I feel that maybe I should back off because I would rather him get healthy first then worry about a relationship with me

...See more Should I continue to go back to the guy that hurting me (obviously not)but it’s hard because idk it’s hard to explain the connection between us the bond before things went bad and I feel I’ll never get that again so I keep going back hoping he will change and be the person I met the first couple of months of being together. I really love him but going back every time just means I’m an option right ? He says he wants me back again but how do I know things will he different than last time ? I keep going in this endless cycle of being together then breaking up. I don’t know what will be different if I go back again . I really love him but is love enough ?
