Should I Break up with my Boyfriend?

Hi,

I just wanted a man's opinion about this. I think its finally time to leave my boyfriend. We have broken up before but we have always gotten back together. I hate to throw away all the good times we have had together in the past five years. Help me.

Hi Rachel,

Just the fact that you are asking this question, tells me that you know what the answer is. It's not me that you should be asking but yourself. Ask yourself, "Am I better or worse being with this person?" "Does he encourage me to be my best everyday?" "Does he want the best for me?" If you are still unsure, take a piece of paper, fold it down the middle. On one side write down everything he's done to hurt you over the years. On the other side write down everything he's done to build you up. One side will be longer than the other.

Life is far too short to spend it with someone who drains energy from it rather than add to it. My Grandmother used to say, "You can do bad by yourself."
