I decided this morning that I wanted to take a break from my boyfriend. I haven’t felt much physical connection for a while. Sex seems like a chore, kissing him isn’t magical, and I love you’s sound forced coming from me. We are on paper the same personality. But we grew up totally different. For example (since it made me reach my breaking point) his family sees getting drunk and smoking as the way to have fun. Whereas I don’t remember seeing my parents drink until I was old enough to stay up for my moms nightly glass during tv. My dad will at most have one. It sucks bc it’s kind of a big thing to have differences about. I talked to him about calming down in public bc he was embarrassing me by public intoxication. He said it’s who he is and only seemed sorry bc he knew I wanted a step back. I still love his heart and know he has the best intentions. I told him we needed to work on our friendship again. I still want to talk and sometimes hang out, but no sleepovers or kissing. Am I being dramatic? I don’t want to get nervous every time he drinks or smokes for the rest of my life. I just hope we can work on communication at this time.
