First of all my boyfriend and I are both 20. Next semester he will be studying abroad and I don't know if we can stay together. When we first met, things were almost perfect, but now, it seems like the only thing he enjoys doing is making fun of me. I can't remember the last time he said anything complimentary/sweet/romantic to me. I never call him, he'll call me up and just frustrate me by being confusing and copying what I say, like a little kid! It's like he gets pleasure out of calling me up to bother me. I love hearing from him when he's being sweet, but he never is anymore. He already admitted to me that because of his work and going abroad, that we were "on the rocks" but he claimed he "wanted to try and fix it". I feel like I'm the only one trying.he's just goofing off like a 7-year-old! What do I do?
Update: I should point out that I've told him to stop many times, and once he even sincerely apologized in a long letter. But he still acts like a bully on the playground!

um, if you already told him to stop and he didnt, then this is more evidence that he doesn't respect you. how much more do you need? I know the "perfect" times you're talking about. I have them too. now you need to decide how much you can take, and if your willing to wait for him to grow up. message me if you wanna talk.
Does he act like Spencer from the Hills? Because that's the picture I'm getting lol. If you've already told him to stop and have been clear with it, I guess you either should end it or learn to like it. I do not suggest putting up with it. I mean he's gonna be studying abroad anyway so you might as well end it now if he's not making an effort with his attitude.
I've never watched that show, but let's just say he's so annoying that sometimes I literally want to hit him. - A month ago

it doesn't sound to me like he's trying to fix anything. aside from not treating you like his girlfriend, he isn't even treating you like a woman. he is being very immature and I don't believe he will change his ways for a while, maybe once he grows up in about 5-10 years, but do you really want to wait that long? if you've already asked him to stop, but he won't I'd tell him that you just need a break, it sounds like that's what he wants anyway. if you do take a break, one of two things will happen, he will either miss you and realise what a good thing he had or he will move on, but do you want to be with a man who childishly disrespects you all the time? just be prepared for the consequences if you choose this path.
What should I say to him though? I'm thinking a break might be the best thing, and he's already suggested it before, but he claims that he "really likes me and cares about me", which is why he's "trying to make this work"... - A month ago

You should tell him the truth. coming up with an elaborate speech will not make it any easier, nor will it make him understand any better, men like for things to be clear and to the point. he already knows that you don't like him picking on you, yet he still does it. if he's already suggested a break, then he might still want one and is waiting for you to make the first move. even if he does care about you, it doesn't sound like he's trying to make it work if he isn't respecting your feelings. - A month ago
