I have been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. After the first year we had a bad fight and he broke up with me. However we made up and I was crying and he kind of liked to see how attached to him I had become. Now it's been about another year and I feel like he is taking advantage of that.

He will break up with me for about a week or two just to see me cry or see how much I need him. As soon as I start building myself up and distance myself we will get back together and be OK again. Now he says he doesn't love me and just wants to be friends but I think he just wants to break up and watch me be strong again.

He won't act macho with other people like guys and will talk about his problems and won't say anything really bad about me. I truly believe he loves me even though he says something different I really know he loves me but I don't know how to handle this.

Why are you putting up with this? You love a guy that is playing mind games with you... you know that, right? Get some self respect and find someone that will treat you right, You don't deserve that and he doesn't deserve you.

He plays games with your emotions. That is not love.
Leave him alone completely. I would not even trust a friendship with him.

Why are you letting him play with you? He's just satisfying his ego by knowing how much you need him. Don't be so clingy, just get out of this relationship.

He's abusing you emotionally. Don't allow him to do that any further.

If that's your idea of love then something is terribly wrong with your thinking. Its time to stand up for yourself and stop being played like a fiddle. You allow him to treat you like this, so stop, let him go, but don't take him back. Work on yourself.

That's how you handle this.
