Ending a relationship over a minor/moderate spat?

What do you guys think of people who are quick to end a relationship over a disagreement? Just your everyday normal relationship spats, not like cheating or anything like that,

My boyfriend(or i guess its ex-boyfriend now) had an argument about random harassing emails and texts my prior exboyfriend was receiving. After months of dealing with this drama and confronting the both of them, i took it upon myself to do a little police work and did an IP address search. Ended up getting a match between my boyfriend’s computer and one of the harassing emails. I never came out and accused my ex of doing it, just presented the information to him. He got upset and ended the relationship.

Considering this is the guy who asked me to move to another state to be with him, whose mother asked me to take care of him when she couldn’t, and asked me to have his children(FYI, we dated once before back in 2004, he dumped me because i wouldnt have his baby at age 19), I’m shocked that he would end the relationship as if it meant nothing. He says otherwise, how I was his happiness and whatnot.

He’s basically upset that I don’t trust his word, and that he wants to be single for a while because he doesn’t watch to deal with the drama that this harassment has caused. We have exchanged apologies over some of the angry words that were said. I’m worried because I do love him, but at the same time, I am somewhat over it since he jumped ship, even though i never really accused him of anything.

What do you guys think?

He seems kind of not too stable emotionally. I would watch my back if i were you.

He’s not actually. His physical reaction to this whole mess was equivalent of a 5-year-old pouting in the backseat of the famly van.

He sounds like an inmature person. Thank goodness you had the good sense to not have his child at age 19. Now use that good sense and do not get back together with him.

I mean hurassing an Ex and ending a relationship instead of talking about what is going on, is red, red, red, flags.

He probably has some one else he wants to date. People will over react to a little spat so they can feel better about themselves for leaving. It’s kind of a mind trick to get you to feel bad and take them back when their fling is over.

@babacup That’s the whole problem. The harassment started back in February. Initially, he was calm, and just said “it wasn’t me.” But the more it happened, and the more I talked to him about it, the more angry he got.

I suspected that, since he said in the middle of the argument “My life was drama free before you. I was happy with Camille, and I took a chance on you.”

Of course he later took back what he said “No I was happy 100% with you aside from all of this middle-school drama. I wanted you all along.”

People usually don’t end a relationship over one spat. They just use that spat as the “last straw”. Usually, this is how people with self esteem problems deal with things. They never forgive and move on. They hold grudges, and then all the little spats pile up over time. Then, at some point, they just get tired of dealing with it, and snap.

He is probably bipolar with extreme highs and lows. There might have been a point where he thought the relationship between him and Camille could work out. Which is why he would say something like that. She more then likely shot him down and therefore said you were the one he wanted all along.

I think if someone is serious enough about a relationship, he/ she will never let go so easily. No way. Now there are those that act like little boys and expect you to come back to ‘nurse their wounds’ (everytime, right or wrong) while deep down they really can’t do without you. Others simply don’t care. The only way to test which category he falls into is to stay away for sometime and see how he reacts.

Yo know you have done nothing wrong so its entirely up to him to make amends- if he really wants to be with you. If he does make amends then he will learn that you won’t keep coming back to him and you will walk away if he continues to behave like a child. Otherwise I seriously would steer clear because its a clear sign he is really not bothered about the relationship.

Well the funny thing about him and Camille is that it was an internet relationship(they are both gamers). She’s in CA, he’s in FL, and according to him, he didn’t expect much from her because of the distance, and because of her age (she’s 19, hes 26). She was always too busy with school and work to acknowledge him for days on end. He assumed she was talking to another guy, but she eventually ended the relationship.

Okay well let me ask you this… Do you really want to be with him? Does he make you happier than you have ever been before? Does the thought of him bring a smile to your face? Is he the first thing you think about when you wake up and the last thing you think about before you sleep? If the answer isn’t YES to all of those, well then sweetie I wouldn’t give him a second thought. Go out and find yourself somebody new that can make you smile.

Honestly? Yes. Until now, he has never hesistated to let me know how special I am to him. We live in different states now, but we constantly check in with each other, while giving each other space. This sounds totally mushy, but he has said that I am his “Great White Buffalo” aka “The One who Got Away.” I know, rolling eyes, right? That’s a blessing and a curse of his: he will say what’s on his mind.

We had a big discussion about our first relationship attempt before getting back together the second time. He always said that now I was back in his life, he wasn’t letting go. I mean his mom was happy that I was around again, and his friends like me. I am putting on a brave face for the public and to get through the day, but I’m dying inside, honestly. I miss him terribly, and I wish I could talk to him F2F. But I know now is not the time.

Mushy is fine. It’s actually pretty sweet. It’s great that you have found someone that you care about that much. How ever he still lied to you about the email and said you did something wrong when it was him.

Yes, that is the ugly fact that hangs overhead. And he’s very upset that I didn’t trust him and take him at his word. I hate thinking this way about people, but it makes me wonder what else he’s been lying about. Lots of questions, like is he going to react this way everything we have a fight, and whatnot. I’d like to ask him these questions myself, but not right now.

Yes, you two need some time to think. Trust is a very hard thing to earn back once it has been broken. My ex cheated on me. I forgave her and tried to work it out with her but she couldn’t stop seeing the guy she cheated on me with. So as much as it hurt me I had to let her go because I couldn’t think of staying with someone I couldn’t trust. I wish you the best and hope you can resolve the issues you have with each other.
