Advice Vixens

I had a boyfriend for one year; the last three months have been on and off. Each time we break up it is because of his negativity. Everything will be going great, then he gets ‘bothered’ by some little stupid shit or something I said “wrong”, or he didn’t like the way I said it, or he saw that I was on facebook at 3pm-if I had time to do that I had time to text him back, etc. etc. but won’t tell me about it right then and there, instead will do passive-aggressive stuff, sometimes days later, then will finally say what it’s about. It’s crazy making. This last time we got back together and split up was the WORST, as far as heartbreak for me. We started calling each other again and got together and had the most perfect entire weekend together, had amazing sex constantly, then on Sunday went to a big outdoor yoga class, everyone else was doing yoga and we were making out big time. We got along great all weekend, laughed so much, he kept saying he loves me, and “you’re mine,” etc. I really thought we were “working it out.”

We continued to talk and text all week, flirtatious texts, and then the following weekend he blew me off. When confronted, he said, “Well things changed for me last Tuesday when you said…..” some stupid little thing I barely remember saying. I said “You’ve changed your mind about me because of that?” He was serious and mad at me, again, and didn’t even apologize! Now we are not even speaking. It’s devastating.

My friends noticed long ago and said “he’s running your life,” because I started to always be worried that he was going to be mad. So I should be glad this happened, I don’t know why it hurts so much. I thought he’d be sorry for treating me like that the 2nd weekend.

I need you Vixens to talk some sense into me and help me let this whole thing go. Should I even try to be just friends with him?

    Never try to be just friends with an ex. People will disagree with me but just move on. What do you hope to gain and why would you want to be friends with someone who is an asshole over little stuff anyway?
