I’ve been with my boyfriend for 20 months and it’s been good and bad. He’s been in jail the whole time, which has made it even harder for us to stay together. We’ve been on good terms lately and we haven’t fought in a while. But I haven’t heard from him in almost three weeks now and I don’t know why.I have no reason to think that he’s mad at me or no longer wants to talk to me. Him not writing me in three weeks is rare when we’re on good terms.
We’re suppose to get married and be together forever but now I’m having doubts. What should I do? Keep writing him and hope that he replies or calls me? Or should I leave the relationship?
ANSWER
Only your heart can advise your actions in such a situation. Do you really love him? Do you stay in the relationship out of fear of being on your own, starting over, not wanting to hurt him, worrying about retaliation, etc.? If you love him, by all means keep making contact. If it is fear, move on and create a new relationship.
