He just said "Let's be friends for awhile." I got abit sad from that, so he said he'll try harder.

I don't mind the lack of intimacy. I'm not shallow, I'm not just after sex. It's just he can touch me, but I can't touch him? I don't think it makes any sense at all. He tells me he dislikes being touched that way.

He use to tell me he needed time alone sometimes. Because there's such thing as too much of a good thing. Fine, I leave him alone. But now he doesn't me to leave him alone. I don't get it. When I went home during Xmas he was so excited to see me. Really affectionate and happy and such. But after about 3 weeks, he wanted time to himself again. Then abit after that, he told me he felt iffy again.

He allows hugs and kisses. But he allows ONLY hugs and kisses, and he thinks that's not good.

He says he doesn't like me touching him. I assumed it was because it would lead us to sex, and he doesn't want that either.

First off, hello, I'm Sadgirl20. I need serious advice. I have a boyfriend, we go to college together and we see each other alot. Since October, my boyfriend has been feeling iffy about our relationship. He says something doesn't feel right. But he says he loves me and doesn't want to hurt me. I tried to break up with him last month but he got really emotional. Since then, he hasn't let me touch him physically. He touches me but he doesn't want me to touch him. He came to me on Sunday night to tell me that we don't act like a couple. Don't I find it odd he won't let me touch him? He said that he also doesn't feel the same sensation when he touches me anymore. He also suggested maybe we should just be friends. He said that I pushed myself on him too hard and we moved too fast. But when he saw me yesterday, he changed his mind and said he wanted to make it work. He'll work harder. He also says he doesn't want to hurt me anymore. I assumed maybe he feels like this due to his past failed relationships, the girls quit on him (cheated on him) and such. I'm trying to hold on to show I do care. But my heart can't take this anymore. He's been feeling confused for months. We're already 10 months into this relationship. What do I do? Do I keep trying? EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot something. He tells me that he loves me and enjoys time with me, but we don't do anything that lives up to the title anymore. So maybe we should break up.
