i haven't talked to my boyfriend for 5 days already. he haven't send me any messages since he exited to Oman. before he went there, we had a small fight and unresolved thing about our relationship.. i don't know how and where to contact him. im thinking that things between us is starting to end. i really don't know how to react to this situation. it's like a mixed emotion, relief and sad...
relief that i don't have to fight again with him... sad because i love him.. but im really tired of waiting and unsure about our relationship!
what do you do when you feel that your relationship is going to an end?
how do you fight for it to survive and when is the time to give up on the relationship?

In this case your boyfriend must contact you on first place as he has gone. But maybe you mustnt think of things so far sweety. Just wait for his calls maybe its a new place so it'll take him time to settle things there. Give him time. I wish things are just like i am thinking of.

The saddest thing in a relationship is when you know that it's near to end. When things are tough it will make you stronger but hard to accept saying goodbye after the wasted time or wasted years and what you given just because you love him. Excuses, excuses of unresolve problems that both of you did not work it out. I think the hardest part is when you feel your hung waiting and keeps you waiting for an answer.I think right now just don't expect anything just go on with your life. If it's really for you, he will call you and settled everything. You still have a life to make it on your on. In love sometimes you win or loose but it's not yet the end of the world. For me it's still communication but with out communication it's what for expecting nothing.... Have a nice day!

Well if you really want it to end then its time to move on and close this chapter of your life. I think there is not much to do with it since you already said it, you're tired of everything from this relationship. But the question is are you ready to accept this reality or are you willing to cling to your feelings for him. It will take time but eventually you'll get the hang of it and maybe fly on your own in time. Take time to heal and revel when it has been healed again. "Let God and Let Go"

for one if you know that he is somewhere where he is able to contact you then that means he should. but in the mean time i would say just give it sometime and just be patient and think positive. but at the same time dont stop your life just because you are waiting on him. not saying go out and find someone else but just live your life aas you normally would and you will know when you are tired of not hearing from him. me personally whenever my boyfriend was away at school and if we got into it if i didnt hear from him then i just stopped worrying about him and i just kept myself occupied.i didnt go out with other people because i wasnt ready yet anyway but i just went about my day and i just hoped that when he did finally call me that i would want to still talk to him or be with him. just let nature take its course becuase you cant force yourself to stop loving someone it happens over time especially if it is not working out.but i do hope he calls you and atleast lets you know where you guys stand.

Chechuva when this things are happening it is to. this are the things that makes a relationship what it is. Now if you nreally blove him and i mean true dare you need to keep on trying. If the relationship is coming to an end there is not much that you can do about it, Try your best not to give up. And let me tell you never evre end the relqationship if it is coming to an end let him be the one to do so.ok...take care know.

I've been in the similar situation like you. But you are luckier I think. In my case, there was never an argument that happened. We are so okay the last time that we are together, then you know what after that day, he never showed up, I just learned that he already moved to another country when I asked his friends where he was. I felt betrayed in that time, I was thinking he could have just told me he wanted the relationship to end or we could have just fought over something to make it easier for me. At least if we fight before he left and never showed up, I'll know the reason why. What happened to me was, I was left hanging, I know that we didn't have any problem and he just left without even telling me why. It was so hard on me. Like you, I don't want to give up in that time, because I know I love him too much.
Days passed, and then months. During those times, I kept on sending him emails, I kept on begging his friends how I can call him, I kept on trying but none of them worked. I ended up talking to one of his close friends. I told him, that I love my boyfriend too much and I have spent my days waiting and searching for him. I guess, its difficult to find someone who is hiding away from you.
I love him still... but I can't let myself dwell on that emptiness for the rest of my life. At least I know in myself that I did my part. I know that I didn't gave up just like that. I started dealing with the situation and made myself realize that I started without him in his life and I know I can go on without him. In this time, he is out there, carelessly continuing a life without me and I can do that better. I looked behind me and there I found the comfort of real friends and family, whom I know will never leave my side. In this time, I still think why he did that, but anyhow, I know I'm better now.
I'm not telling you this to discourage you. There is nothing wrong with waiting and fighting for the one you love. This is your part in the relationship. Maybe in this time, he wants a little space. But also, he has to know that you are worrying, especially that he's far from you. If you love him, If you want to wait, you can, but never make yourself suffer from it. Life has to go on, you have your friends, you have your family and you have a beautiful life to live. If he comes back, then you'll know he loves you too and from there you can talk about how you've gone through. If he doesn't then just wish him well and continue with your life and learn from the experience. You are not the only person getting through this experience. I just wish you well. And keep that love in your heart, but keep in mind also, that you deserve some loving back. At least in his part, he's got to let you know why and where he is.

Having followed your discussions I know that you have been having trouble with him for a while. If he has gone and not left you a contact numbers or anything then there is not a lot you can do but wait and see if he does get in touch.
It is always hard when a relationship ends, really hard, especially when there are still a lot of feelings there or when the situation has not really been ended but all you can do is take things a day at a time. I think you will know when it is time to give up on the relationship, just let your feelings run their course.

To a heart in love and eagerly expecting, five days could seem an eternity. But by the normal everyday standards, it hasn't been that long, dear.
Maybe you need to give him a little space; what is it they say? If you love someone, let him go; if he comes back...and so on and so forth.
If you ask me, I'd say don't be too focused on the relationship, asking questions like when is the time to give up on the relationship. I'd say focus on yourself, love yourself, enjoy your youth and freedom, develop your talents and skills, fulfill your potentials. Love will come in its own time; you'll meet the right guy at the right time; it could be your boyfriend who comes back to you, or someone better. Good luck.
