    He wasn't just angry.

    He put his mates before you.
    He put you in danger.
    He slagged you off to old colleagues.
    He's putting you on hold while he does his own thing.

    These are not the actions of someone mature, considerate, decent.


    Repeat ^^this^^ in your head as a mantra.

    Please, please do not take him back, you can do SOOOOO much better than him.

    Cut him off, don't answer your phone to him - block his number, change your number. Don't go on facebook/block him on facebook. Read this thread back to yourself and ask the question, if one of your friends had an ex like this, would you want them to go back to him? Don't let him weedle himself back in. PLEASE!

    P.S. you say he needs to grow up, don't go back thinking you can change him, because I promise you that doesn't work.

    He needs to grow up.

    Honey, you could be waiting years for that to happen if it ever does ;)

    And how DARE he tell you not to wear make up???!! How DARE he tell you not to wear your contact lenses???!! How DARE he try to control you??!!

    That's the way I'd be trying to think right now - it's not just about the argument or his childish friends, it's a bit scarier than that to me. You don't deserve that, nobody does! You're young - you'll find someone who loves you for being you - and not that it's got bog all to do with me, but personally I'd be happy if you didn't waste another day on this boy! I know it hurts though xx

    oooh I'm getting angry just typing this!! :)

    I think I'm going to see what happens in the next few weeks. Things would have to change dramatically for me to give him another chance.

    I'm going to sound very young and emo now, but this sucks :(

    That's good (I know you probably don't feel that right now). If I were you I would spend the next few weeks doing all the things that he wouldn't let you do, that way, you'll realise how big a hold he had over you and you won't feel like relinquishing all those things again.

    It does suck right now, but this feeling won't last (and that's why god created Alanis Morrissette ;)). AND I guarantee that if you make a life without this boy, you look back in a few years and realise what a HUGE escape you've had.

    He's contacted me, saying he regrets it and he was just angry, and that we need space and time apart so he can sort himself out.

    Not sure what to think really. :S

    Keep reading through the thread.

    Read what you said about him, how he put his mates before you etc etc.

    Read what other people have said about him.

    TBH, I could see this coming from the moment I read your first post.
    I hope you have more sense of your own worth than to even think about letting him back into your life.
    If you do go back to him, I can see you posting exactly the same thing time and time again.
