I've been with the same guy for almost 2 years now.
About half of the relationship was spent long distance, about a 2-3 hour commute. Sometimess we'd only see eachother everyother weekend to a month.

Talking on the phone was the only real connection I had to him sometimes, and over time he started to hate talking on the phone.

He even voiced he was tired of commuting.

At the time, I hadn't had a job and was still going to school. It was rare for me to come into any kind of money but I still managed to save up a bit and use it towards taking a ferry and a bus just to go see him. I feel naive now, cause I had made him my life.

Over the span of the relationship, there was a single girl I had grown uncomfortable about. Simply put; he used to have feelings for her and tried very hard to see her. I recently found out that he had gone behind my back a few times just to "hang out."

Now, he's a hardcore gamer and I too played some games. But sometimes I wanted some time to hang out with him, without them. It was difficult to have him find that time for me, but he had stopped for her.


Twice in the relationship he decided he didn't know if he actually loved me, and decided to stop saying it.

And a third time, when I was sick and worried over my dad being in the hospital....we got into an argument because I needed to talk to him for support. He decided the argument was too much for him, and a year into the relationship, ended it.

A month later he came to me saying he was willing to try it again, and I accepted.

But I had grown bitter and distant because of the strain and emotional damage the relationship had done to me.

I still tried to be all there though, even considering.

At a point, it felt as if he decided to say "I love you." again, just to keep me around.

And later, I had found disscussions and hearsay from friends that he was only in the relationship cause he was afraid he wouldn't find someone else anytime soon, and he enjoys sex so much.


I had decided we go on a break recently to figure things out.
I just don't know if its worth it anymore.


Even my dad has said how he hates the way he treats me infront of him....and how my friends treat me better.

And its true, soemtimes I'm happier with my friends. But it can be hard.

Since I see no questions in the OP, I'll just answer the title.

Yes, it is pointless to stay around. Stop saving all your money to spend on being his booty call. He is making you look like a fool and you deserve better than that.

You are one step closer to finding a better guy, right? Don't go backwards. You'll get through this breakup which SHOULD probably happen asap.

the pain of breaking up lasts only a short time. do not let that stop you from seeking someone who will cherish and love you like you deserve. i can tell from reading your post that you are intelligent and articulate. use that brain of yours girl, and do not let your fears keep you in this bad relationship any longer.

It sounds from the way you've worded what you've said that you already know what to do but just need some affirmation that it is the correct decision. I agree what everyone here has said. You know this situation isn't making you happy, as does your family. You've given it a second chance, and nothing seems better than it was before. You deserve to be happy. I'd walk away from this one.

I have been in nearly the exact same situation. Don't put more into the long distance relationship than he is willing to put in. And don't settle for less than what you put in. Therefore, it's time to move on. You are stonger than you think, especially if you have been surving the long distance and the commute this long. Take that strength and apply it elsewhere, like school, the rest will come.

Yes, I have to agree with you it's a waste of your time. He is immature and has an ego centric personality, but the worst thing is that he treats you badly!

Re-read your post, but this time understand you get nothing returned to you as a friend. I would not speak to him again because he has the ability to pull the wool over your eyes by lying to you and you want to believe him!

Just remember, if you are ever in a relationship where you are not 100% satisfied than you shouldn't stick around. If you are unable to talk to him and get him to understand the issues and if he is unable to change (and that is how it sounds) than it is best to leave him behind.

That is a very hard thing to do, and you will be online and hurt for awhile... However, you are a cute girl and a nicer guy will come along.

SinSyn,

Reading your post it is easy to tell that you are an intelligent person. As such I see someone although still quite young who has the insight and experience to recognize when things are wrong with a relationship and who is strong enough to survive a breakup. No matter how hard this breakup will be on you, know that in the end you will come out better for it and alot happier. Seek out your friends and family for support during these times. You have done everything you can to try to salvage this relationship. It is definitely time to move on. Good Luck
