If you don't love him enough to stick it out as his girl alone, then let him go. It's best for both of you. You do still love him to some extent though, and you can give him that much love as a friend just as easilly as you could as his girlfriend.

Your mind likes to play tricks on you with small bits of adrenaline to make you think things. I'm not saying that your feelings are not real, but I'm say to think this through CAREFULLY!

One breakup could ruin your chance of ever seeing the poor guys sorry arse again. So make sure your comfortable with not ever talking to him again before you attempt to break up. ALso, spare his sorry feelings. If he cared about you he was really trying.

Though, if he wasn't trying, then spare no mercy and really go at em.

You may wonder why I know so much at 12, and truth be told I haven't had a boyfriend yet, but I have nearly unlimited acsess to friends, fries, and the internet.

I've gotta agree with WaterFaerie. Was he really doing you right? If so, you might just want to take a second chance. And if you think it's going to hurt you too much to just let him go, you can basically break it off and just be friends. Corny, I know. But if it hurts too much to let him go, just tell him the relationship isn't working for you, you need some time, and let's see how it goes, if you guys can get along as friends. If it hurts to see him waved in your face? Let him go. Don't look back, just let him go.

Like the saying goes, it's better to have loved and lost then have never loved at all.

We're here for ya, Lex. Best of luck. Let it work out the way it's supposed to - that's the best you can wish for.

And if you do give him up, I suggest listening to music like Hinder, AFI, Bullet for My Valentine, Dresden Dolls, etc. I'm actually in the process of trying to come up with the top 10 best rock break-up songs, in case you need something to listen to, to feel better.

You're going to be just fine, Lexy. It's going to be just fine. It'll hurt like hell, but you're going to get through it, better as a person for it. No matter what you do.

.:"No time for goodbyes," he said, as he faded away. "It's hard to imagine, but one day you'll end up like me." Then he said, "If you want to stay alive, hold on for your life.":.

To clear up any confusion, I guess it would be better to say that he thinks he's incapable of fulfilling my needs, and because of this not even trying. Sorry if I misled you.

It isn't a question of whether or not I "love him enough." I *COULD* stick it out with him, and I'm not even remotely attracted to any other guys right now. There isn't any temptation; that's not why I'm breaking it off with him.

And, Joey, I found your post rather rude.

You're like the ocean. Pretty enough on the surface, but dive down into your depths, and you'll find beauty most people never see.

I honestly don't care, Lexy. It's what I felt you needed to hear. If caring enough about you to give you sincere advice (based on what you said) not watered down by bullsh*t smiley faces and "OMFG Lexy is super-awesomely #1!!!!" phrases is what you consider rude, let me know so I can ignore your cries for help from now on.

If that was rude, sue me. I happened to be p*ssed around the time I read your last comment.

There happens to be a very big difference between sincerity and disrespect. I love him "to some extent"?! You could have easily said that it was best for me to let him go and that I can still love him as a friend without being so disdainful.

I'm not asking you to sugarcoat anything, but you could treat me with some respect.

Lexy. You honestly think I would waste precious seconds of my life wording something so that it makes you feel bad or puts you down? From my perspective, you love him to "some extent," some being an unknown value or measure. I'm not in your heart, I'm not in your head, and the fact that you posted this thread in the first place led my mind to the conclusion that you don't love him enough to stay by him for as long as it takes him to become a better boyfriend, fulfill your needs, or whatever it is you wish to call it. I'm not going to apologize for giving you what I thought was a logically worded suggestion. I will say I'm sorry that your misinterpretation caused you grief.

.......wow. I really didn't think that you were this kind of person. My mistake, I guess.
