Q: Hey Scott. I’m Tanya, so here’s the deal.
I was with my boyfriend for 10 months total. We broke up for two months, but didn’t count it cause it was basically like we were together. Well, let’s just say he was a very jealous person and I didn’t help the situation too much cause I have a lot of guy friends.
I would always put him second in everything, so he thought, but really, he was the first on my list!
So now, he’s broken up with me again, and I decided we should just stay away from each other for a while. We were supposed to go to homecoming together but he said wait a week to get my response.
I come to find out he is already taking someone else. He didn’t have the nerve to tell me.
What should I do? Forget him completely, ’cause right now things are rocky?
SCOTT: Don’t forget him completely, but since he’s taking another girl to homecoming, forget him a little bit for now.
I think jealousy might’ve been more of an issue in your relationship than you know, so maybe it was a good idea that you guys took a break.
That said, you’ve obviously got a good head on your shoulders; you seem to know what you want and what you don’t want.
Time off doesn’t mean you have to cut each other off completely. In fact, many times it’s the best time to communicate. My guess is, his ego was hurt always coming in second, even though we both know you were really putting him first.
Wait a second! You know what? Maybe he should’ve known that too!
This relationship definitely needs more time. Take it slowly, just as you are, and after homecoming, you’ll see who’s putting you first in their life.
