[Ask April Masini]

You’ve really boxed me in by limiting my advice! 😆 You told me not to tell you he’s not worth the trouble, so I won’t. You also told me that you want me to either tell you how to get him to forgive you or how to get him to understand what you’re thinking.

Do you see that you’re probably doing to me exactly what you’re doing to him? You’re trying to make someone be other than they are. I’m here because I give you the truth — but you’re specifically asking me to only tell you one of two things. You’re doing the same with him — you don’t want to see or know who he really is.

So in answer to your questions, if you want to get him to forgive you, then devote the rest of your life to him whether he’s with another girl or not. That’ll work. 🙄 And if you want to get him to understand what you’re thinking, try sneaking into his bedroom at night and switching brains with him!! 😉

Okay. Sarcasm break over, and if you don’t want to hear the real Ask April, then stop reading now. Your boyfriend is not very mature and he’s got a temper. He’s never going to be okay with you being away at college while he’s in high school, so a clean break is the best thing for both of you. Some people can make the transition work, but he doesn’t have the maturity or the composure to do so. You’ll be a lot happier and healthier if you recognize who he is and who you are and find someone more compatible for your life now.

I hope that helps — I know this is hard, but I know you can do it. Let me know how things work out. And join me on Facebook at this link: [url][/url].
