Should I Break Up With My Boyfriend? Will Taking A Quiz Help?
If you’re thinking about taking a “should I break up with my boyfriend” quiz, in all honesty, you probably already have your answer. A “should I break up” type of quiz isn’t something a woman considers unless she has some real doubts about the relationship she has with her man.
If you’re unhappy in your relationship or you don’t think your guy treats you properly, maybe you should forget about taking the quiz. You probably already know what the results will reveal! But, then again, you may be curious and want some sort of verification of your feelings before you decide to take any action.

Before taking a “should I break up with my boyfriend” quiz, keep in mind that most of these relationship-type quizzes are put together more for entertainment value than anything else. While they may point to certain aspects of a relationship that could be improved, you shouldn’t simply base your decision of whether or not to leave your boyfriend because of the results of the quiz. That would be naive!
Can Relationship Quizzes Be Useful?
Only if you understand the reason behind the quiz. As said previously, many of these quizzes are made for fun, they’re not meant to be taken seriously. So, with that in mind, you might want to compare your relationship with your boyfriend with what the quiz considers to be a “good” and “bad” relationship.
If it’s a “should I break up with my boyfriend” quiz you find online, especially at a website where you can take quiz after quiz after quiz, on almost any subject you can think of, then be sensible enough to realize that anyone and their aunt can make these quizzes. Even you could make one advising people when to break up! They’re just based on what one person thinks, they shouldn’t be taken as reliable relationship advice.
On the other hand, if it’s a quiz from a reputable magazine and was perhaps created by someone with actual human relations or relationship expertise, then you may be able to take the answers/results a little more seriously. Even so, although the quiz might appear to be completely sincere, you shouldn’t break up with your boyfriend only based on the outcome of the quiz.
Read the results carefully and decide if they’re really accurate for your situation. These quizzes aren’t designed to actually tell you what to do when it comes to your boyfriend. They’re designed more to give you guidelines about how things “should be” in your relationship under certain circumstances.
However, if the answers you receive about your relationship with your boyfriend vary greatly from what the quiz author believes to be a healthy and normal relationship, you might want to examine things a little more closely and seek further advice from someone you trust.
To sum up, if you’re even contemplating using a “should I break up with my boyfriend quiz”, you obviously have doubts about whether or not you want to be with your partner. Do you really need a quiz to tell you that there’s something wrong??

i read this but i still didn’t understand it after reading it, but i
should just tell you what’s going on. my boyfriend has been ignoring
me for the last 2 weeks and i have no idea why. then he left me a
message on my computer saying ” sorry i haven’t talked to you” and
that’s it. then i start to think ” why isn’t he asking me to go to
his house anymore with all the free time he has “. i can’t find any
way to contact him and i really want to know what’s wrong. should i
break up with him or not ?? i know it sounds crazy to just break up with him just because of this but there’s way more that you need to know. my boyfriend is someone i really can’t trust and god knows what he’s doing right now, drugs, cheating on me, or doing something stupid. the main question is should i break up with him or not ?? please if anyone is reading this help me. i need to know what to do. i beg you !!!!!!!!!!!!
Adriana,
Unfortunately, by what you say, I think your boyfriend might have broken up with you
However, you really need to make every effort to talk to him face-to-face before you make any decision about ending your relationship. Only you and your boyfriend can answer what you ask, no-one else can tell you what to do. Good Luck!
Ok, so I switched schools because i was moved into a different part of town- my boyfriend and i were going out ever since the beggining of october- on my last day, he didnt say anything- he just gave my a hug and a goodbye- all my other friends got me things, and ones that i woulodnt b able to see wrote letters and things. So, i figured that since i wouldn’t be able to see him anymore, i would just have to brake up with him- so i id via IM. Once i told him that we were over, he logged off and he hasnt logged onto anything for a week, I think I broke his heart because I told him that I loved him and then i just broke up with him- Did i do the right thing?? Please I really need help!
if a guy ignores you……………..you ignore him! do not give him the satasfaction of you being all up inhis face and begging for him to go back to you. Hes obviously not a man if he cant say to your face that its over. Move on….once you have done this he will probably be crawling back to you. People like what they cant have. Learn from this experience. In yournext relationship never spoil him or make him think your world revolves around him. He will then treat you with the respect that you deserve because he will not want to lose you.
okay. so heres the thing. my boyfriend used to be the kind of person i loved to be around and could tell anything to..but hes changed. he doesnt have a phone so i have no way of getting in contact with him; we cant meet out of school bc my parents hate him & at school when he’s with all his friends hes a major doushe. but the part is i really like him when we’re alone, but thats basically the only time. i just dont know if our relationship is worth all my worry & drama with everyone about it. should i break up with him or just try and talk to him?? am i overreacting??? someone helppp. pleaseee! kthanks. (:
Hi Dawn,
To begin with, I think you need to find out why your parents dislike your boyfriend. Then ask your bf why he acts the way he does at school. Communication is the key! Have your opinions, but listen to what people are saying. Remember, relationships are meant to be fun & fulfilling. Unhappiness or drama shouldn’t be consuming your relationships, especially as you seem quite young. Whether you should break up with your boyfriend or not – well, work out what’s best for YOU and go from there. Jonel.
Whoa! Strong advice! I like what you say and would only add that a relationship is a two-way street. Both people involved need to learn to give and take. Jonel.
i dont trust my boyfriend at all,should we really be together. trust is the the foundation and without that there is nothing,is that true?
Amy,
I think you’ve answered your own question. Honestly ask yourself why you don’t trust your boyfriend, talk to him about it and then go from there. Remember, always do what’s best for you.
I’ve been dating with my boyfriend for about 5 months now. I found out that’s he is stingy and not romantic, is not that he don’t pay for me but he very good calculate in his mind make sure we even out the expense or i’m the one that pay more. He stay at my place every weekend and sleep over some week night. Never buy body wash or laundry detergent to refill for me when i ran out. I’m the one that buy groceries and cooked all the time..He help me out once in a while but nothing compare to what i’ve spend. I was expect that he might ask if i need him help out some utility or groceries bills, since he is staying at my place a lots. But he never do. We when out once a week he bought me 1st drink but never ask if i want another one after i finish that drink. On special occasion i got him presents and cards writing all sweet things on it. But him never get me any card, Even on the Valentine he don’t even get me flower. I’m frustraded….He always say that he love me so much with all his heart….Oh, we texted a lots but he never call me after work. Maybe once in a while only if we have problem….I love him but i’m frustrated. And the money issue is bother me, My lifestyle is different then him. I’m a giving type of person. I don’t mind sharing what i have with the one that i love, but i also want my lover to do the same to me….Should i breaks up with him…I don’t know what to do that’s why i’m up here and asking for help…Please give me advice base on your experience. Thank you so much and God Bless you all. Btw. Please excuse my english..I’m not very good english. Thank you.
im not sure where to start really. i was with a guy for 9 months and at first mom loved him but whenever he wouldnt let me have any space at all and was always txting and calling when i was out she said she hated him. it caused problems between me and him and i broke up with him. i would go through so many mood swings and thats never happened before. i was so lost and because i didnt know what to do anymore, and because mom always yelled at me, and said im pityful and and she called me a liar all the time when i would stay with him, also saying she has no faith in me at all, i broke up with him. it hurt him so bad and i hated it so much. im 19 and mom thinks she knows best. he was this amazing guy, a guy any girl would be lucky to have. i was so happy with him and mom told everyone i changed into this mean person when that wasnt the truth. i just dont know if i made the right decision or not. =( any advice?

my boyfriend and i have been going out for about 2 month at first my friend liked him but i knew he like me and so did everyone else i got coulght up in all the hype people were say we should go out and that we were perfect together so we went on a few dates and we were “bf&gf” a few weeks had pasted and i came to my senses and relized 1) he likes me way more than i like him 2) i really didt like him he was not my type 3) we were going no where fast. iv been ignoring him for a while but i want to tell him but i dont think i could do that i mean he REALLY likes me im pretty sure he loves me
One of the hardest things about breaking up is that pit in your stomach feeling and bout of depression that can follow. A lot of people fall into this despair and either wallow in self pitty or get back into the bad relationship.
Its important to stay strong, to eat right, sleep well… This is when your personal health is most important because you NEED it to help you make it through these emotional times… If you are not physically prime, your brain and emotions wont be prime either.
