Advice for staying in this relationship?

relationship of 8 months is going down hill after i hear he saw his ex when she came in town (he denies it), he has a promise ring...but he goes from finding a job to be where i stay, to not wanting to do that .... then he turns around and apologizes for talking and treating me like crap...only to do it again. he says ';if i left him he wouldnt even shed a tear'; and other mean things like that..then turns around to say he is going to ';act right'; n he does want to see me...


SO then everything is like normal, he's all ';into'; me..and this continues to be into me even after i leave town...now he's so in love with me? and didnt mean anything he said, he was just upset with how his life was since he's not in college


what is going on? im 20 he is 21Advice for staying in this relationship?
he seems like he cant seem to make up his mind, or hes just trying to play games. hes not afraid to lose you until it becomes more serious that you'll leave. i think you need to tell him that you need to take time to think. give him a scare, really. so that he realizes that it IS serious, so that he realizes what he'd be losing. and call him after a few days - a week of not talking to him. ask him what he feels.. etc.


basically, scare him into reality. he needs to stop living in a dream world that you'll never leave no matter what.Advice for staying in this relationship?
