Honey if he wants to be away from you for a while, the best thing you can do for him and yourself is to let him go. Trying to cling to someone who wants to be away from you is an unhealthy waste of time. It causes hard feeling and anger and it prolongs the inevitable.

Try to stay strong,don't chase him,give him the space he needs. I know it hurts I am in the same boat as you.If it's meant to be he'll come back to you

He wants space, then give it to him. If he wants to be with you then he will let you know. Just don't sit around waiting for him to make up his mind, enjoy your own life and let him enjoy his, without any pressure from you.

i wanna be his forever:(

Every time I read a phrase like this, I get chills.

When I was 18 I said the same thing - it didn't happen
When I was 20 I said the same thing - it didn't happen
When I was 24 I said the same thing, got married, had a baby, divorced,- it didn't happen.
I am 56, said the same thing several more times - and it still didn't happen.

I am happy, have a wonderful daughter and grandson, lived my life, worked, studied, met men and loved them then I left them with no hard feelings for most.

The only thing that is forever is that fact that life goes on until you take your last breath, if you work you pay taxes, and as long as you live you have to breathe.

Anything and everything in between happens through choices you make in life, and a partnership requires two people to make a choice for both. So if his choice is to take a break, your only choice is to let him have it, or leave him. There is no magic potion to keep someone forever - even if there was, it would probably not be a good idea. People grow and change, learn and acquire different tastes in life and if you are stuck, you cannot advance.

What does forever really mean to you? Do you have any other plans in life besides wanting to belong to someone forever? How about education, goals, dreams, family, travel, and much much more?

Never stop your world from turning just because a man entered. Never place anyone in the center of your universe - especially when you are young, you'd only be telling yourself a lie because you think you are happy and won't ever be happy again without this person... wrong. The happiness you felt will come back many times in your life, probably with different people, so live your life.

If he comes back, super... but it still is not going to be forever - might be for many years... but still not forever. Get the message?

Concentrate on other interests and get to know other people, you might not even want him back once you get treated better by someone who can make you happier.

Good luck dear, and keep us posted.
