Felt like it wasn't time

My boyfriend broke up with me yesterday. We were having a lot of arguments, because both of us are stubborn and prideful. He said he could not keep riding this emotional roller coaster, but he did not want to give up because of how much he loves me. To make a long story short, he ended up giving up. I told him I wanted to fight for us, and he said he just couldn't deal with how differently we handle things and our constant arguing lately. The thing is: I didn't think it was time for us to break up. I feel very strongly about him, and felt that we could make it work. We love each other, a lot, and have such a great time together. We've just been having a lot of arguments lately. Anyway, I feel so alone right now and I'm not handling this break-up the best I could. Is it normal to feel this way, or do I need to go talk to him and try to fight for us?

    There was a small exchange of text messages today, and he said that his decision was firm. I've gone through break-ups before, but this time I lost my appetite for the last few days, and have not been dealing with it the best I could. It really sucks that this is the end...

    Thanks for the feedback. Especially moomus: it's hard to think he doesn't want to fight for us, but I need to realize that it's just wasting my time. I need to try to move on. Easier said than done, of course.

    I'm getting worried because the hurt and tears are not even easing up. I am thinking about telling him everything I feel before I graduate college next weekend. I'm also worried that I will regret telling him everything, but I want him to know how I feel about everything, including him giving up on us so easily. I've never taken a break-up this hard before..

    It's prob going to really hurt for a while but you will eventually meet someone who accepts you for who you are.

    Don't waste your time on someone who won't waste their time on you...

    Make up sex lures back men and women alike. Whether they admit it or not.

    It's over, fighting kills relationships, and even if it seems like things are good again they won't be for long
