Question
Hello,
      I've been dating my boyfriend since Dec 5, a sadly drunken night. Anyways we went to highschool together, Ive known him for 12 years really great and sweet guy. Hes super quiet, I introduce him to my friends and he says hi and thats all. I get along great with his family, his mother took some warming up, but she likes me. I think his sister is just being nice to me cause Im dating her. They know stuff about me that could cost me my job. My family likes him, always have. He talks about one day having kids yet when I asked him to hold my 3 month old nephew he said no and hes not good with children. Ive tried talking to him about it but now hes just super quiet with me and its making it awkward now for me to be around him. To topp this all off he bought me a 200$ necklace for Christmas.. What do I do...  Please Help

Dear Sandra,
Sorry for the delayed response ~ I forgot to set my vacation settings...

I don't know what your asking me..... If you want to break up with him you just do it firmly and honestly.  You don't give him false hope, you don't try to be friends, and you don't argue the point.  Learn a lesson from this to keep your secrets close to your chest.  You can't be held hostage because his family knows some information and you got a necklace for Christmas.  If you feel guilty about the necklace then give it back to him.  Your happiness has to be most important and could he really make you happy for the rest of your life???? Good Luck
