Today’s topic: Tired of the Tears, but I Don’t Want to Leave
Dear Shirley and Steve,
I am 19 years old and in a relationship with this 21-year-old guy. We have been together since I was in high school. I am now a sophomore in college with big plans and dreams for myself and I want him to be apart of my future. He has cheated and was close to having the young lady pregnant and I forgave him. I have also cheated, but never came close to having sex with anyone and he too forgave me. In the midst of things we still manage to keep it together. Yes, I know I’m young, but I know for a fact that I do love him. I’ve found myself second-guessing our relationship. I have had my share of heartbreaks and never could find myself to trust a guy. With him things have always been different. Now the signs are back. I rarely see him and when we talk over the phone our conversations are short and I feel like he’s trying too push me away for someone else. I constantly ask him if he’s talking to other women but he denies it. I hate to push him away over something petty but my gut has never lied. My heart is in it once again and I don’t know what to do. Can you all please help?
Signed,
Broken Hearted
