What do you guys make of this situation:

*Girlfriend of 2.5 years starts to hang around a new crowd of people. They are much different from her traditional group of friends.

*A month or two after that the girlfriend tells the boyfriend that she wants to break-up and that this is it. The boyfriend blames it on the new group of friends.

-Reason for breaking up? Her grades in school are slipping and she wants to do good. Her excuse was that the boyfriend was taking up too much of her time. She also said the chemistry was just not there the last 3-days (they were fighting over her friends).

*After about a couple hours discussing the situation, the girlfriend says she just wants to be single. She didn't say what that meant.

*Then after more time discussing the situation she mentions she wants to explore her options. She wants to be hurt/loved by others. She wants to see if she really loves the boyfriend.

She is 19 and feels she is trapped and wants to experience everything. After some more talking the boyfriend, he told her that he does not wish to be friends if it ends. She starts to cry and tells him that she thinks she is making a mistake about breaking up but she must do it. She kept insisting a 2 month break until school is finished, but the boyfriend told her he doesn't believe that is the reason and if she leaves it is over for good.

They come to a conclusion that the girlfriend is going to think about it and she is NOT to contact him until she has an answer of yes or no on wether they will stay together. It could be a day, week, or months. If it is NO the boyfriend is going to change his number and stop contacting her, if it is a yes they will work out the "problems".

Another guy? Most def.

MIKE

that is a given

Who can blame her though. She probably tried several times to end the relationship nicely...."I need space" but the other party keeps wanting to work things out and she feels bad for wanting out.

he's supposed to wait around while she figures out what she wants to do? he should tell her to fvck off and start sleeping with her hot friends immediately.

Be ready to get dumped. She's bored w/ you. Do a preemptive strike and dump her first. Be sure to make her cry. And take :camera:s while you're at it.

So I should just change my number and make it impossible for her to contact me? If I do not we will just get back together and I do not want that to happen once I change it.

She did say she was bored, but she said there was no other guy. My gut tells me there is. My past experiences tell me there is. I'm not going to be friends with her. That will just make her come to me whenever her new boyfriend that "doesn't" exist have problems. She'll also come to me when she is confused which will be an emotional rollercoaster for me.

So this waiting for a week thing is just a waste of my time, right? Could my gut be wrong about another guy?

Even IF there is no other guy, she said she was bored with you, wanted to break up, and wants to "love" someone else to "test" the waters....dump her.

Blah. Going to miss her a lot. Changing my number as we speak. Hurts like hell in my stomach, but this is for the best.

Yep cause I've been there (both sides) but it sounds like the OP has too. He just needs affirmation.

Either she is or she wants to end the relationship so she can pursue another.

Yep. And the suddenness strongly indicates that there's another guy in the picture.

So now what?
What's the best way to make the pain stop? It's like someone got a knife and stabbed me with it. In the past I just moved onto another girl (always had a backup). I don't have a backup plan now nor do I want one.

I'm just keeping myself busy right now with school and tomorrow I have work and I'm hitting the gym.

The only things that will help you get through this will be to keep busy so you don't have time to dwell, get a rebound g/f, and/or lots of time.

the pain will go away, eventually. you'll look back and laugh at the whole sordid mess.

PSA YAGTers: do not try to "settle down" with any woman under 25. They (and you) are not ready. Date, have fun, make sex and move on...

Either way i blame the new friends///
a)she's persuing a new relationship her new friends are hooking her up with... or
b)all the new friends are single and now she wants to be free.

Either way she has a problem with committment. End of story.

There is a third, in that she actually wants to be single and such. But a single 19 year old girl who is looking for fun can find it quite easily. You probably won't hear from her again.

Tough luck, man. But this is why you can't get serious with teenagers. They havn't experienced enough, and most of them think they're missing out on something.
