Am I crazy?, =/ Options

[flc]

Okay, so my current boyfriend has broken up with me four {Count it, FOUR} times in the past because he wasn't sure about how he felt anymore, blah blah, the same old saying. We've been on and off since 8th grade, and I'm a junior now. o_0

He has always found some other chick that he likes and then drops me like a hot potatoe, and basically ignores me for the duration of his new relationship. But I keep taking him back. And everytime when he wants me back he says that he'll never treat me like that again, he's sorry, he was stupid and didn't realize how important I am to him, etc.

I guess I keep taking him back because I have a bit of false hope that maybe this time it will work..and maybe I'm right. He's been so sweet to me, and he's really been paying attention to me this time. It hurts him everytime I talk about how nervous/scared I am, and he understands that I have reason to be. But he keeps telling me to relax and instill some faith in him.

I told him, after about six months, that I'm finally not afraid anymore..

But I still am.

I love him..so much. I'm a bit of a romantic and I keep thinking about how sweet it would be to tell my future friends in college, "Oh, we've been together since the eighth grade." Plus I'm forgiving. Being with him is sometimes like a drug. When he pays attention to me, nothing else matters {As clichéd as that sounds.}.

What do you think? Am I too forgiving? Should I keep trying to make it work?

i know how you feel about that great story to tell your kids and friends. but what sounds better? a real story that came with a really great guy or a great story that comes along with a not so great ass?

he's using you as his safety and that's a horrible assh*le thing to do. this is what those kind of people do. they find someone who will be with them no matter what (you). then when they know that the person will be with them ride or die, they take full advantage of it. when they see someone they want to get with, they drop you and get with them. when that falls apart, they go back to their safety. it's a vicious cycle.

don't let him do this to you. he's done this to you too many times. it's like, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. how many times do you want to be fooled? you really need to break the cycle and drop him. sure, right now you feel like he's all you want and all you need and fairytale story, but after awhile when you get over it. you'll realize that life is much better with out him.

just get it through your head, he's a liar. relationships are built on honesty and trust. how can you trust someone who has lied to you over and over again? if you were really important to him, he'd be devoted to you and not dump you whenever some new chick catches his eye.
