My boyfrined gave me a promise ring then broke up with me how should i handle it?
Masquerade Madness asked:
He gave me the ring yesterday morning then in the afternoon he broke with me. Well not a minute later he called to tell me that he took it back. Today the only thing i’ve really heard was sorry. I believe him it just doesn’t feel the same anymore. They say time heals all wounds and I think that’s a giant load. I just want to know how to make it less uncomfortable?

Pawn the ring.

Take the ring and run. Your bf is bipolar and crazy, get away from him.
1. November 2008 at 5:49 pm :
punch him in the face
4. November 2008 at 1:25 am :
What a chode. Give that ring back and move on.
6. November 2008 at 11:52 am :
He doesnt seem like a loyal person, i think u should not talk to him.
8. November 2008 at 3:40 am :
brake up with him and throw it in his face lol the best i can come up with
9. November 2008 at 1:31 am :
maybe hes just confused dont blame him maybe something happened that made him really confused give him a chance
11. November 2008 at 12:05 pm :
That is really confusing. Talk to your boyfriend and find out he really feels. Giving a promise ring is usually a sign of serious commitment - what was he thinking to give it to you and then break up with you… and then take it back?
14. November 2008 at 9:13 am :
what a jerk
15. November 2008 at 2:52 am :
Oh, wow, what a jerk! The best way to look out for yourself right now is to cut him off completely. He doesn’t even deserve to talk to you. If he asks for anything back (even if it’s just a t-shirt he left at your house), tell him to go buy it back on eBay.

keep the ring, if you don’t want it…..pawn it. either way its good for you.
17. November 2008 at 3:25 pm :
keep the ring. it sounds like he has some issues to deal with.
who knows maybe y’all can figure things out?
19. November 2008 at 6:43 am :
It sucks because how are supposed to take him seriously when he just breaks up with you just like that. I would let him know that you feel different and that you are going to need some time to feel the way that you used to.
19. November 2008 at 7:23 am :
just wait. me and my gf. she broke up with me and a while later came back to me wanting me back.i was all like sure but i thought it would be awkward and not the same. but after a while we forgot and it was like lold times if not better. just wait and see what happens
20. November 2008 at 10:58 pm :
I know that you may call me all these bad words for saying this but still it will work:
1. Become friends with his best friend
2. Go out on a date
3. Kiss him in front of him
He’ll come running back to you like the dog he is… TEE HEE
24. November 2008 at 10:57 am :
well maybe he felt like he had made a BIG move toward you and kina wanted to take it back after he realized its a PROMISE RING.. apparently yall break up off and on or something or yall have broken up before or he wouldnt have just BROKE UP with u and then just TOOK it back.. thats not normal. but it IS normal to feel as if you might can second guess urself.. COLD FEET as they call it… to make it more comfortable you need to sit down and make him explain exactly what his promise ring meant.. and how much he meant it.. and how much u meant it saying yes.. COMMUNICATION is one of the main keys in a relationship! hope this helps! i have an easy question please come help me! =]
25. November 2008 at 1:17 pm :
well you should tell him how you feel maybe its a mutural felling
28. November 2008 at 4:22 pm :
Your bf is crazy, or your ex? Don’t be friends with him .__. Those kind of guys are noth woth for girls.
29. November 2008 at 9:26 pm :
It doesn’t help much to hear “time heals all wounds” when it just happened. I’d give the ring back and be happy not to be with someone that unstable first of all. Try and be busy, do some volunteer work at a local animal shelter i.e. or some activities like sports or whatever you enjoy. When busy there is less time to think until the time comes where you don’t think about it at all anymore. Hope you feel better soon.

just get another bf and give him the ring so then he will think your the best girlfriend in the world cause you gave him that problem fixed and never start fighting ok just be ok with whatever he says,does, and … others ok then you’ll guys be dating forever you guys are going to marry each other some day

return the ring, it’s the most dignified thing to do. show him you don’t want his broken promise. just say this is yours and if he tries to get you to keep it just say no he should give it to someone else. he might have freaked out about the seriousness of the relationship after not thinking about the ring properly, but this might make him think again about it. plus, you’ll have a good reason to see him again, so make sure you look hot! not sad and miserable
5. December 2008 at 1:40 pm :
he sounds immature and erratic with poor impulse control. he also sounds like a commitment-phobe which isn’t unusual for the dudes.
if you can determine which one it is, you’ll know what to do.
(i’m leaning towards the first choice)
you might get better answers with a little more info.
take care!
8. December 2008 at 4:16 am :
Wow, that’s awful, I’m sorry. Well I would say that the best thing you can do now is to find out why he did what he did, and you should try to have a very honest conversation about it, and you should make sure you tell him how you feel, but you should decide for yourself first if you want to continue the relationship or not.
10. December 2008 at 1:21 am :
Wow =/
You shouldnt beat your self up about this though.
Im so sorry…
He seems a little cruel.
Possibly bi polar?
He needs to take your feelings into consideration.
You are better then that and he treated you like crud.
That’s wrong >.< Sometimes “sorry” doesn’t fix everything…
You should talk to him.
Figure out WHY he did it.
That might be bugging you at the back of your mind…
You might feel like your not good enough, you might question yourself “what did i do?” Or something.
So you should sit down and talk to him about why he did that to you.
Even if you don’t realize it…
And when you figure out why exactly he did that,
You might feel a little better at least not questioning that anymore.
Some guys are afraid of commitment…
He might have given you that because he loves you,
But then gotten scared.
Which lead, to running off.
You need a man.
Not some boy to run and hide.
But love is like ghosts…
You know, Many talk about it but few have actually seen.
Therefor its rare.
It might not be love…
But i couldnt tell you, because i dont know your boyfriend.
Im not sure how he acts or thinks.
And communication is UBER important in a relationship.
Your boyfriend should also be your best friend.
And when your confused, talk to him.
And you sound confused.
But don’t depend on yahoo…
I mean, were just a bunch of complete strangers
Because every 60 sec.’s you spend upset is a whole min. of happiness you’ll NEVER get back.
Forgive, and forget :]
Yes, harder said then done.
But one thing i know for sure…
Is if something feels wrong in an relationship, it is.
Never doubt yourself.
And if its the wrong guy, then you wont regret it.
Yes, It hurts…
And yes, life is hard.
I wish i could say it gets better…
But it doesnt.
You just have to stay strong :]
Because i KNOW you can.
I wish you the best of luck.
Later.
