Well, my boyfriend and I have been going out for a little more than a year. I know he loves me a lot, like....he has our entire future planned out. I don't take it seriously though. Anyways, it just feels like my love is slowly fading away for him. I'm not as attracted to him, and getting a little bored with him.

Sometimes he does annoy me when I tell him that I need to do my homework during lunch, but we end up spend lunch together since he'll complain that we don't spend enough time together. A few times I told him that I need space, but he overreacts and think that I'm breaking up with him. He's like...too attached to me. Whenever I tell him that he needs to back off a little, he gets upset and becomes a little more attached.

I want to break it off with him, but I'll know he'll get hurt and I still have feelings for him.

Whenever I do talk to him sbout it, he freaks-outs and gets offended.

I've talked to him about needing space a few times before, but it doesn't work.

It seems as if he's like a little kid trying to jump into the swimming pool for the first time. He's scared. It might become unpleasant. So he just sits there on the side of the pool. You need to push him in. You just have to do it whether he likes it or not. Let him get scared, if he breaks up with you then it's his problem.

Like I said, "That space is what keeps you unique. It's what keeps you being you, and him being him. If you spend to much time together it's almost like you become one mind. You become bored because you loose that uniqueness. You loose the excitement. Your love maybe fading away because you don't have that space." That space is why you started dating in the first place!! HE NEEDS TO GET OVER IT!!!

He's not offended. He's just scared you're going to break up with him, and he's trying to stop you from doing that. MAKE SURE HE KNOWS YOU AREN'T BREAKING UP WITH HIM. Heck, you can even use what I said to help him understand.

Here's a good article on space in a relationship:
