"At the end of the day, what really matters is "you". If you feel that your boyfriend is not doing you justice then try to talk it out with him and if he still does not understand, take a break. Tell him that you would like to spend some time by yourself and think things over. You dont have to break up with him immidiately. If the time alone does you good, then you will know that you dont want to be with him. If you feel like he does not treat you right and you will not be hapy with him, it does not matter how long you have been with him, or who in your family knows about him. You need to think of yourself and be able to let go. Sure things will beed bad at first, but in the long run you will be happy." Rythm,could not agree with you more.We often ignore this aspect of the relationship. Racheeta, do think about what she said. It is really noteworthy.
