My name is kezia, I know that noone knows
the answer perhaps to the questions that I
have but any advice but be really
helpful.
I was in a relationship with a man for
about 2 years. At first everything was
wonderful. We spent all our time
together when we got the chance. We
became closer than just
boyfriend/girlfriend. We were falling in
love and we were becoming best friends.
He was the one I called when I needed
anything and he called me when he needed
anything. Anyway everything was so
great, I was so happy, I couldnt believe
life could really be that great.
After months and months of dating he
decided to quit his job because he was not
happy with it. At the time I was
finishing up high school, so I was busy
with that during the day. He was out of
work for about 3 months and we were still
doing great. He was having trouble
finding a job so I begged my stepdad to
get him on at one of the companies that my
step dad managed. He got my boyfriend
the job, it was a good job that paid
really good but the draw back to it was
that it was 3rd shift.
After he started this job he became a
whole new person, it seemed like it was
all over night. We started fighting all
the time, he became really unreliable and
he stayed really tired all the time. I
tried to just be patient because I know
that 3rd shift is really really hard to
get used to and some ppl just camt ever
get in the swing of it.
I found out that he had gotten me a
engagement ring(although he hadnt given it
to me yet, I knew he bought it). I tried
so hard to keep peace with us but it
wasn't working. He had started his 3rd
shift job in january of 2005 and about the
end of march I could tell something bad
was going to happen. On april 9,2005 he
didn't show up to get me as planned
instead he called and told me that he
loved me with all of his heart and he told
me that for the past few months he had
been praying about our relationship and he
just didnt know what else to do but for us
to break up. After we got off the phone
I burst out in tears and went straight to
my room and overdosed on pills. My
sister found me in the bathroom in the
floor having shaking and I was turning
blue and was unconscience.
I spent the night in the er recovering.
I was sent home the next day, and to make
a long story short I was miserable. I
didn't hear from him for almost 2 months
and one day he called me out of the blue.
We talked a while and the next day I went
to meet him and we both hugged and cried
and talked about how much we missed each
other. We lost contact again until about
spetember of 05'. We started hanging out
a lot in september and started dating
again on oct.29,2005. I was really happy
but things were not like they used to be
of course. We broke up in december
shortly before christmas. We went 2
weeks without talking that time and he
called me on christmas and told me that he
missed me so much. We were talking a lot
and hanging out a lot up until last month
(april 06'). I was really drunk at a
friends house and I was so out of it, I
was calling his name so my friend picked
up my cell phone and got his number and
called him. He came over to help me
sober up and to help get me home b/c it
was like 2 a.M.
Anyway I had a ring on my finger that a
guy friend had gotten me for christmas, he
was just a friend and bought me a ring
just as a friend thing. My ex saw the
ring on my finger and took it off my
finger but I was so out of it I didnt
realize. I begged him that night for us
to get back together and he told me he
would call me the next day and we would
discuss getting back together. 3 days
passed and I noticed my ring was missing
and that I hadn't heard from him. Then,
he sent me a picture of him holding my
ring on my cell phone and asked me where I
got it. I tried to explain that a guy
friend gave it to me and that he could
call the guy and ask him if he didnt
beleive me. He accused me of having a
boyfriend and hung up. I didnt hear from
him for a month up until a few days ago.
He told me that he still has my ring and
that he still don't believe me.
Anyway, I have been miserable this whole
year. I miss him every second of every
day. I can't concentrate at school or
work. I have not been on a date at all
since me and him and I dont even have a
desire to look at another guy. My heart
is with my ex and I don't know what to do.
It has been a year and my heart has not
healed at all. I know that he loves me
and that he has a hard time with work and
bills and all that and I don't want me and
him to end on bad terms but like I said
what do I do? I love him with all my
heart, and I am moving this july with my
sister about 2 hours away from here to go
to college. I don't want to leave with
him mad at me and I don't want to leave
thinking there might be a chance for us.
I have no idea how to go about handling
this.
I apologize for this being so long but I
wanted the whole outline of the story to
be out there so you all would understand.
Please please please give me any advice
at all.

I had this similar problem. I found
writing it all down, everything, how you
see the situation, your feelings, your
perception of his feelings at the moment,
the future, the past, things that you
thought triggered the start of trouble,
really clarify things. You could either
send it him saying - things get lost in
our conversation, or you could keep it at
something to look at when everything gets
confusing. Real issues once put out in
front of you become clear. You may have
completely different views of the
situation. If you send it to him, don't
make it about blame, more about your
feelings and how you saw things.
He may be mixed up at the moment but the
relationship should rise above this.
There is probably another issue he is
hiding behind by kicking up a fuss about
the ring situation.
You also need to know how to make yourself
happy to be able to be strong enough to
know what you want. Work out who you are
inside first and your needs. Hurting
yourself promotes more problems. If he
isn't willing to try, it isn't your fault.
Eventually enough will be enough, can you
physically put up with the stress and
pain? I'm sure neither can he. Maybe the
strongest and healthiest thing is to let
go. You'll know in your hear and head
whats right eventually.
