RomanceClass.com Forums Romance Breaking Up I broke up with him

I don't know...he's done that before. I broke up with him another time in January for a short time. He had called my house though and my mom answered the phone. He said how he liked a girl in one of his classes and was going to ask her out...a few days later it turned out she did not even like him!
He also told me his parents were happy that he made the right decision (breaking up with me I guess). I don't know why they don't like me...I'm a good student in college, get high grades, don't smoke or drink. He on the other hand loves to party and drink and he doesn't do very well in classes. In fact ever since we began dating his grades had gotten better, which he said he worked harder because he knew that was important to me.
Like I said, I really don't want to be good friends...but if I saw him on campus I wouldn't be mean, I'd say hi. But I wouldn't hang out with him or anything.

I think that you are doing the right thing.

Being polite and saying hello seems fine.

Maybe his parents just don't feel that he is mature enough to settle down.

You were talking about marrying him, yet he still wants to behave like a teenager.

Personally, I think that, at only 22, it's ok to behave like a teenager, but one can't do both ~ settle down and be single at the same time.

he was really the one who brought up marriage! he even asked me one day and then an hour later decided it might not be the right time, and didn't want to disappoint his parents. I was just like...ok but I really want to get to know you first so that can't happen for quite some time!
also he even had a long discussion with me on baby names, what he would name the girls and what he would name the boys. I told him some names I liked and he did not like them but I wasn't as into it as he was. then he got upset because he thought I didn't care what we'd name our kids...its not so much that I didn't care but I thought it was early to discuss that?
another time he wanted to know if I liked his last name and got a little upset when he thought I did not
again it was not that I was rejecting that...it just seemed too early to discuss the marriage issue in my opinion...
I mean, we are still in college, I'd like to have a steady job first. And I think he wanted a huge expensive wedding, which he also discussed but again I thought it was too early. Maybe in like a year when we are out of college we could have planned and dreamed up a wedding...but not this early!
He was the only one rushing things, but then he wanted freedom. Like in one day he would be thinking about baby names but the next he'd be wishing he was single. I know he can't have both at the same time...

Exactly.
He wants both and it's impossible.

He sounds a bit troubled. Be free and make yourself strong!! Don't let anyone toy with your emotions and bring you down.
