My boyfriend is begging me to stay

4 Comments

I tried to break up with my boyfriend yesterday. I wasn't happy in the relationship and began to resent him for it, and I decided it was best to leave. He pleaded with me to at least stay in the relationship for another week to "see how I feel." He says he will try to work on his own character flaws that I have become increasingly aware of, but I feel like my irritation at him isn't the cause of how I feel; it's only a symptom. It's day three and I'm miserable. I can't wait to finally be on my own and have some more time and freedom to focus on my own interests and work on myself. I REALLY don't want to stay for four more days. Should I tough it out for the rest of the week, or would it be best break up now? I hate not being able to keep my word, but I didn't think it would be this difficult when I agreed to stay.

It's best to leave now. Waiting will only make it worse. 10

    Regardless of whether you leave or stay this week, please don't feel guilty when you actually do leave. Think of his dramatic behavior as manipulation, because that's what it is.

    You know what's best for you. If you're not happy, leave. No matter how hard it is.
    And also, what Busby said.

    If he's really annoying you to the point where you can't stay, then leave so you can be happy.

    Tell him that this needy, weak behavior is unattractive and move on.
