My boyfriend and I have been going out for almost two years (21 months) and lately we've been fighitng a lot. We have a lot of problems. We get so angry at each other and we call each other names and we say things that really should not be said. He can't help getting so angry at me, and after all this time, he feels trapped. Like there are too many rules and regulations regarding our relationship. We have finals comiing up and since our universities are in two different directions, I'm seeing him a lot less, which is also a problem. He feels like I'm expecting way too much of him and expecting things that he can't give at the moment like time, attention, not getting so angry.. And i'm feeling like I don't get enough attention, I want him to call me and give me a little bit of time each day even if he IS busy.
so he finally came to the decision to break up . He says that he wants to fix it and taking a simple break won't cut it. He said he needed some time to do his own thing, which i'm sure is more than a week or two, or three for that matter. That after not seeing me for a couple months, he wouldn't get so angry so easily. But i think it's because we wouldn't know each other. And getting together after so many months apart would be really painful for me because i would always wonder what he did during those months and who he's met, how he's changed, how he was happy without me. He says my idea of staying together to work it out fix it and that this is the only solution. He said that if i come up with a solution a million times better than mine, he would consider it.
is there another solution to breaking up? that is NOT taking a 2 week break and ending up together? is there anything else i could do? or should i just accept the fact that we aren't supposed to be together?
