So my BF and I are HS sweethearts (together almost 8 years from 10th grade to now) and we’ve been arguing a little more lately because our schedules aren’t lining up at all with him in an accelerated nursing program and me in work all the time.

One small miscommunication caused us to fight a little and when he suggested (again) that we just needed to spend more time together and it would be better, I suggested a break:

And yes, I know that I sound really bitchy and I was mad at the time, but that’s on me. I get that.

I told him maybe we should take a week to not talk at all since we talk everyday throughout our relationship, but he said two weeks when I had an already planned friend BBQ, and I agreed.

But then he couldn’t make it on the 22nd to the BBQ because of school and I texted him two days later saying that I would really like to talk.

Fast forward to last Friday, the 27th, and he called me after work. We spent the first 20 minutes with me just listening to him talk about school, and then I spent a minute or two telling him about my small updates and I said “are we ok?”

And he told me he didn’t know.

We spoke for another twenty minutes and I told him that I really had a fear that he was just going to break up with me and he said “I can see how you can get that from my text, and I’m sorry. I didn’t want to sound that way, but I don’t know” and I asked him what that meant and he said “I don’t know if I want to be in a relationship, and I don’t know if I want to break up, because I don’t want to wake up a month from now when school is over and realize I made the biggest mistake of my life” and I told him that I just needed to know, because I understand that I’ve caused a lot of problems but I just need him to be honest.

He said he doesn’t want to string me along, and he doesn’t want to ruin our vacation, since his program ends the 15th and then he’s supposed to go on vacation with my family on the 16th.

He’s supposed to come to my grandmas bday party this Saturday the 4th (we agreed it would make her so happy and we need to see each other) but idk what to do or what to say to him. I don’t want to break up but it’s really starting to seem like he’s one foot in and one foot out.

Does anyone think there’s a chance we could get this back to being happy? Does anyone have any advice? Anything and everything is welcomed.

Thanks❤️
