This might sound petty, but I need to break up with my boyfriend.. he's been too smothering lately and doesn't understand boundaries... and now he's mad at me cause I asked for space...
I don't know how else to get the message across to him... and I'm starting to dread seeing him in the halls... we live in the same apartment building..
You need to stand firm with your intentions. If he was worth keeping, he would have gladly said- "Sarah- take the time you need"... but he did not. When you see him in the hall, all you need to do is be civil . Be on the alert for his possible "cave-in" ... where he says he understands but breaks the rules about 24 hours later.
