Okay, i've been dating this guy for over a month now - i know not long but anyways onto the story. Okay, he's done way more than i have ever done in a relationship & i don't plan to do til marriage with one of my good friends. I'm afraid I'm losing feelings for him but everytime i talk to him on the phone he always brings up the sappy "i love you baby" and "i don't know what i would do without you" But in his childhood he went through a lot i mean, i'd feel so bad to leave him behind because his family isnt the best in the world and his family knows how much i mean to him. I'm afraid to hurt him and i'm afraid that he'll do something to himself. i would tell some of the childhood story but i can't it's really upsetting. Ohh, if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it a lot! thank you!

my friend had the same situation but she dated the guy for a whole year so it was harder..... they broke up but they still are friends and such. maybe u should tell him u just want to be friends, and still be there for him just not as a girlfriend but as a friend

thanks some :)

Just hold on.. well, just think about consequences.. heh, you don't know, but you'll bound to find out why you liked him anyway!

(By the way, this is my 6,000th post!)

yeah... the sooner you do it the better it will be for him... but emphasize that you will still be there for him and stuffs...you aren't totally gonna be gone or anything. Sorry it didnt work out for ya... =/ My gf is kinda like that... bad childhood and stuffs... i get kinda scared sometimes that she might do something but i promised i would take care of her and i still love her... But yeah... hope things work out for ya!

Don't stay in the relationship if you're not happy with it. If you're afraid that he'll hurt himself if you break up with him, try to get him to some help (support group, shrink, etc.). Stay friends and just be there for him.

Wow, seriously just you people have made me much happier in doing this. I don't know you all but thanks a bunch!
