I was also in a relationship for 5.5 years and was actually engaged to him for 2 of those years. All we did was fight and break up then get back together then fight and break up...so on and so on for the last 2 years. Finally I said enough was enough...I think we were staying together because we were a habit for one another and we were each others first love and the first for many things...We stayed close friends (after the intial hurt of breaking up) even had some rendevous... 6 months after breaking up with him I found my husband whom I have been married to for 18 years. Its hard breaking up with someone that you have had in your life for so long....sometimes you have to be mean to get the point across... I know I had to be mean with my ex to get him to realize that this is over...but that didn't last long....hang in there. Take some time to really think why you are still with him....is it because you are each others "habit" and you are aftraid to be alone??? |
