WHAT IS WITH SOME OF YOU ?!?!?! It's really pretty amazing how one can't put themselves in others' shoes when trying to help them...and it's their choice whether to type "mi" for "me", as long as the meaning is clear. If you've got nothing good to say which will help her out, don't bother posting at all.
Well, Biz, some good points have been brought up nonetheless, is he in the same grade as you? From what I've gathered, he is. Is he also anxious/worried about school work, like you are? Are you seeing him everyday at school?
My thoughts on this is that maybe you've been too close lately? A relationship, especially a long-term one like yours, will need space. As that song suggests, even lovers need a holiday, far away from each other. Give him the few weeks that he says he needs and if he doesn't call or refuse to see you after that, then call him and ask to see him. Like SweetSeason said, don't push him now. I believe that there is understanding between you otherwise you wouldn't have lasted so long.
From what you've told us, he did try to reassure you - that he still loves you and wants to go to the formal with you. Yet there is something that he is not sharing with you...I think, something which embarrasses him and is causing him to even lose the courage to tell you face to face. A two-year relationship like yours probably shouldn't be like this, after so long. He isn't ready to tell you what's on his mind yet and needs time to think over it and come to terms with it himself.
If you see him though and you feel like 'confronting' him, then do so, but only if you know you're comfortable with that...but otherwise, he might either have personal issues or exam issues, which has caused fear etc...
This is just my guess.
May I tell you my story?
Two and a half years ago now, back in mid-late 2003, my first boyfriend of 10 months went quiet for a while as well. I knew there was something on his mind and it turned out that he hadn't been ready for the physical stuff we're doing the week before and that he hated how I was always so moody and possessive. My year 10 Formal was to be on a few months later and so was the SC. I thought the SC was serious back then and was worried, like you. He broke up with me a month later, 2 months before the SC and asked my then best friend to the Formal - I knew he had started to like her when he had gone quiet. I cried until I couldn't cry anymore, then read all the classic heroine stories and also listened to Mariah Carey's "Hero" and "Through the Rain". Then I thought, I'll show him, I'll show them both...and ended up acing in everything that year.
Maybe it's the HSC stress - if he's in your year. I know that your story won't end up like mine - I really really really hope not. At the same time, I hope you're also realizing that your future is your own and should not, must not depend on anyone else! You can depend on no one in life, except on yourself. I understand how you can't stop thinking about him and what he's said, but give him and yourself the time now just to study, because you can't do anything about the relationship, without appearing pushy etc. You will own the world, when you have academic achievements. Everything will become much lighter and clearer after the HSC, it's not long now 'til the end. Know what your priorities are, Biz, I believe that you have the courage to do what you need to do right now.
