How Can I Change This?

Question: Dear Luise: My boyfriend and I decided to take a break a while ago and during this break his mom decided to make him wait to get another girlfriend until he is 17. Well, that’s a year away so we decided to get back together behind everyone’s back. Nobody knows about it, seriously. We have to sneak around to see each other alone and I get about 2 hours alone with him every week. He barely ever calls or texts me, either: How is a good way to express to him that I want him would show me that he still loves me? How can we make this last until he’s actually allowed to have a girlfriend again? We’re trying our best but it’s very hard for me. I need to feel this love even though our time together is now limited. T.

Answer: Dear T.: When a couple decides to “take a break,” it’s usually the beginning of the end. Whoever made the suggestion wants to move on and eventually does.

What you want the guy to do and say and the fact that you want it to last doesn’t carry much weight, unfortunately. He will do what he does; you can’t change that.

My guess is that because of his mother’s attitude, he is using you until the year is up. Then he’ll be off and running and you’ll be history. That’s probably the real reason he doesn’t text or call.

I think you should end it and get on with your life. You deserve better! Blessings, Luise
