Question
Ok I'm a 17 yr old girl I have been with this boy for two yrs. At first he was
perfect. He talked to me respectfully and treated me really nice. As time went
by he became someone else someone I didn't recognize. He started to talk
to other girls on myspace and texting as if he was single and I didn't exist.
He began to hang up on me. Talk to me in a rude way and neglect me. I
have been miserable for the past year or so. I lost weight and found myself
unhappy most of the time. I still love him and I want to know how I can move
on and if I'm making the right decision.

Answer
I think you are making the right decision. It sounds like you don't have much of a choice right now anyways. Sounds to me like he wants to be single and have his freedom right now so the best thing for you to do is to step back and let him have this time. If he wanted to be with you he wouldn't be talking to other girls and treating you badly.
If I were you I'd just go on with your life and hang out with friends and start doing your own thing. If he decides he misses you enough and starts getting sick of the single life he'll come back but in the meantime, I would just move on if I were you.
