    Feeling depressed and alone in a 1 year relationship
    Hi I'm 18 years old and I have been in a relationship of a year and 2 months now. We've known each other since we were little kids through scouts but then I stopped attending and after 5 years we met again by coincidence. And we started dating. Everything went well and I thought that it was destiny that brought us together again. We took everything easy and slowly. A year has passed and now I feel a bit sad and I feel that I should be alone for a while. I think that maybe I haven't enjoyed life enough as a single person and need time to think. I don't feel the same things as the begging of our relationship. But I know I still love him. I talked to him and decided to take a break for me to decide what I want exactly. Any advice? Anyone else has gone through this situation?

    HI. I read your note and have to say I fully agree with you, you are being very sensible and I wish you good luck. If your boyfriend really has true feelings for you and vice versa you will get together again should you wish, but right now you need to have more experience about life, other people and have experiences in other relationships, not necessarily in sexual or intimate but friendly and compatible relationships where you can learn about people and life... I wish I had done that instead of finding myself married, 3 children and penniless for long time only to have him leave me for someone younger now. I'm sure you can remain friendly with him otherwise he is thinking only of his feelings. Be true to you.

    I've been here (I think most people have). Funny thing, I was on the receiving end. I was in a 2 year relationship.. perfect for the 1st year, but I year two things started to slow down... and well... the sparks went away. We still cared about each other, but our relationship wasn't going anywhere, and we were both young. (20-21). ---- She decided to call it quits (I think she new I wouldn't). I was really hurt, but got over it eventually.

    ---You seem to know what you want. Good Luck.
