How do i know if i need to break up with my boyfriend?

so here is the thing..... I really care about my boyfriend but i feel that i don't love him anymore or at least thats what i think, im so confused right now. I feel used and dumb!





here is the story:


We started going out on september, We've been going out for a year and 3 months and on the first three months everything was amazing. After Christmas he then moved in with me and we are currently living together. He unfortunately lost his job and he was unemployed for like 3 months and he finally found one. I am a student, i go to the university and he just works. When he was unemployed I had to pay rent, food and any other expenses. I was trying to be supportive about his situation. So he finally got a job and he only worked there for a month and they basically cut his hours leading him to quit. Once again i had to take care of everything. Like 4 more months passed and he was still unemployed and he finally got another job, he lasted 3 weeks and once again unemployed. he then found another job and he couldnt work there because of his criminal record. So once again I had to pay rent, food and basically everything. This went like that for a year basically because now is December and now is when he finally started working.





He is an amazing person but he is so demanding and manipulating that sometimes i feel like if i don't do what he wants he will get mad at me.


Before i used to love kissing him, but now is like whenever we kiss im thinking of other stuff and i want it to end. I talked to him about the situation i told him that he is suppose to help me financially and he hasnt done it. That he demands so much from me like sex, attention, nurturing and sometimes im just worried about my exams and my job and to find money to pay the bills. Sometimes i dont even want to do it with him so when i tell him he gets mad and stupid me agrees to do it just cuz i dont wanna see him mad.





Now he has ask for forgiveness and he wants me to forgive him for all the damage he has done to me, but i feel like he fooled me and saw me like whaterver. I feel like everything changed after that christmas and he just forgot about taking care of me.





I tried braking up with him but he started crying and so did i he asked me for a chance, a chance to show me that he really loves me and he will provide me with anything i need. I gave it to him but told him that if i feel like i have no feelings towards him I will leave him.





But i am so confused right now and I would really appreciate your comments, please don't insult me I know I have bein weak and not strong enough to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH....I am just scared of moving on and finding out that I will miss him and love him later on. But that is my entire confusion, I dont really know what I feel for him anymore.......





What should I do?How do i know if i need to break up with my boyfriend?
If you're not happy anymore, I think that you should leave him and move on:





No offense to you, but he seems like his like is going nowhere. He can't keep a job, and that puts all the pressure on you, having to be in school and work to pay all of the bills. He'll never be able to maintain a good job and provide for you with a criminal record. If he can't even keep a basic job, there is no way that he'll be able to gety a head in life so that you can like comfortably. You said that when you kiss him, you want it to end, definately not a good sign.





If you're the one always trying to keep him happy, paying all of the bills, trying to make like better for yourself with an education, and he's not treating you right and can't keep a job, then they're a problem. You gave him a chance to change and he didn't, right? It seems cliche, but it's true: there are plenty of fish in the sea, you feel like you love him, but things have changed and he's changed. Leave him and find a good guy who will treat you the way you deserve to be treated, not a mooch who wants to be treated better than he deserves to be treated.How do i know if i need to break up with my boyfriend?
You should figure out what you feel for him, then act accordingly. That's what you should do.
I would only say two words to him...BYE BYE and show him the door.
when you are on Y!A asking random strangers if you should break up with your boyfriend.. that is when you know
Wow... Sounds tough love... Ill give it to you honestly





Get rid of him.. I know what its like to be in love trust me feels like nothing can bring you down... By the looks on things this man HAS NO IDEA. You sound amazing doing all of that stuff looking after him etc


but listen hes not a good man if hes letting a lovely young ladie do all of this by herself. I really suggest you move of and your bound to miss him and want him but think about it all the money you earn you will be able to get things for yourself and friends go out to the town have a laugh get new clothes hech! the world is you mall :D haha.. But yeah really think about what life would be like with out him and think about the rest of your life basecly being a slave...


I know you didn't want to hear that but i think its the truth. =[








Sorry if this didn't help


And if you ever need more help just send me a message :D
i think you fell out of love with him and just still care about him because you've obviously been so close for over a year. it's natural to feel protective and affectionate towards someone when you've known them for so long ya know?


but i think you definitely should break up with him. i would say try to work things out, but you've already tried and it hasn't worked or else you wouldn't be on here asking this question. sorry, but i think it's time to move on...





can you PLEASE help me?

I know what you mean except in my case he was too close to an ex and I felt empty inside....I didnt feel important enough to him anymore. I knew in my mind that I had to do the right thing and let them be together because they had a son together and the son's wish was to have mommy and daddy back together. I couldnt break a little boy's heart at Christmas time, so I let him go, even though it hurt like hell to feel so much for one person and now I am just alone completely.
This sounds like a really hard situation, and coming from your response you sound like maybe 20-23 at the oldest, and I think this is a sign of maturity for you to realize there is a problem. Second of all, you should know that if you are uncomfortable with what you feel is him ';mooching'; off of you, then you should let him know this. You have warned him already and nothing has changed, so you have nothing left to do but simply rephrase this and give him an ultimatum. It isn't fair to you that he demands so much, yet gives so little. I think you should sit down and talk to him about what is wrong.
Why do women hang on to garbage for so long.....WHY!!! It makes our gender look so pathetic and desperate! You already knew the answer to this question before you even asked it. Am I wrong?
