Hello,
My name is Lisa I am 19 years old. I'm currently with someone and we've been dating for 10 months now. I've noticed some changes in his behavior but nothing serious enough that it cant be worked out. SO that's what I did, tried to work it out. But now I have my parents telling me to break up with him because of these changes that I don't see as a big deal. The thing is I've been told by my parents and some close friends who also see this issue except it seems everyone sees it but me. My mom says it's because I care so much about him that I'm willing to forgive; that may be true and if it is I don't see how I can fix something I don't notice myself. We're taking a break until the end of April. My parents say do what makes me happy and seeing him is what makes me happy but at the same time my mom gets mad when I do see him. I'm torn between my parents and him. Although I care for him a lot, my parents opinions and experience mean just as much. I don't know what to do, I've been so unhappy lately and even when I try to go out with the girls to clear my head I end up thinking about him and it makes things worse. I don't know if breaking up with him is the right choice, I've tried to but he breaks down into tears and promises different things about how he can make it work. I guess I'm just afraid of how to deal with a break up if I'm already so unhappy without seeing him for only a couple days. What's wrong with me and will this feeling ever go away?
Thanks to anyone who replies, I appreciate it.
