ORIGINAL: satyrsnymph28 What would you do? I would have been gone a long time ago - but that's me. You're you. My ten cents worth of advice is, before you do anything, to sit down somewhere quiet for a few minutes, somewhere where you won't be disturbed and think about this. What are you getting out the relationship? Where is it going? Is where it's going somewhere you want to be? How does it make you feel about yourself? About who you are? Is that someone you want to be? It your answers to all of those things are negative. Get out. If, for you, to get out you need to drive by and see if he's lying to you or not - then do so. If it's enough that you're unahppy, second-guessing yourself all the time, and have no faith that your boyfriend can keep his word - then just accept that it's over and move on. If the only reason you haven't left yet is that your fear or breaking up, or being alone, or not having someone there is stronger than your unhappiness in your current relationship then what you're doing is waiting and allowing your misery to escalate until it overcomes your fear of breaking up or being alone or whatever - in which case you're setting yourself up to be more and more unhappy and anxious and upset until it gets so bad that things blow up, and then you'll have to go through the whole breakup and being alone part anyway. On the flip side - if you're happy with where things are going and the relationship and your boyfriend are making you feel wonderful about yourself and about your life and you're content in every way except this one - then you need to work with him on adapting and changing until you're both comfortable with what the steady-state of your interactions are going to be - but that doesn't sound like the case here.
