Brake up... to make up? lol, i want to see who else... Options

[CindyRelly]

hi peps.
ok so almost a month ago the guy who i most loved decided we should brake up. Our relationship wasn't bad at all. I had been w/ him for a year and four months. They said we were like the "perfect couple" (i'm not exaggerating, but it's just a hint how close we were.)
I had been in love before(once), but this one hurted like if it was the first time.
Ok, so his reasons were that we had to concentrate in school & work... since he works, and just started school, and i go to school and just started to work. I don't like the word of "a time out" but does it sound like it? He told me he never goes back once he dumps someone, but I will be the only one he will go with so we stayed as friends... it sucks.
I want to meet people who are or been thought the same as me. I want to know how they felt, what happened or is happening... or i just want to know what anyone thinks...
i keep in mind if this love was true, he will come back to me. But sometimes I just can't help it and yea you know start having all types of ideas
Thanks for taking your time!

wait...did you two think that you were perfect with each other? that's the thing that really matters. it doesn't matter that other people thought you two were great together.

it doesn't sound like his reason is legitamate. if your relationship "wasn't bad at all" then why did he want out just because of school and work? especially if he believes in that "never look back" thing? if your relationship truly was all good, then he'd find a way to make it all happen.

the guy i'm seeing works more than one job and is going to start classes again soon but he still makes the time to see me. i go to school too and i'm going to start working as well.

i think you should definately look elsewhere for a relationship.

i've kind of been in the same situation...i stress the kind of part because we never had an official relationship and it wasn't serious in the beginning. then there was this period of time that we didn't talk and now we rekindled whatever it was that we had. it's really good now because we've both grown up and can relate to each other more. back then, i was quite immature and we both wanted different things.

edit - now that i read what you said again, i'm actually not really in the same situation. so never mind
