Here’s what I’ve told more young women than I can count: you should not be convincing yourself you want to be with him. Likewise, you shouldn’t have to persuade him to be with you. If you’re in this kind of relationship, it may mean you’re making an idol of dating or marriage. If you’re willing to be miserable just because you don’t want to be alone or deal with the pain of a breakup, there could be something much deeper going on in your heart than incompatibility with your boyfriend.
