Whats wrong with my boyfriend?

My boyfriend and i are going on 6 months and we've dated a total of 12 months because we broke up and got back together several times. My boyfriend tried to dump me last week and we got back together again. Then just today, there was a rumor going around that i cheated on him and a whole bunch of stuff so he dumped me. Idk what to do. Is he dating me until he finds someone else? Is he using me for things? Does he really want/love me? I overheard him talking and he said that the first time he dumped me was because of his friends which i do believe cause they're dicks. So.. what's REALLY going on?? Will it happen again? please help me. I'm soo damn lost

Habitual dumping is not Love, so no, he doesn't. Maybe it hurts to hear it, but I'm a strong advocate for the truth and saying what everyone else may be afraid to say. You can't even get a long time of comittment out of the guy before he finds a mediocre reason to play cat and mouse with his bailing out antics.

What's really going on? He's an immature dope who isn't a reliable dating match. Will it happen again? You bet. I'm assuming from your question you're eiether in high school or in your early twenties right? Yeah, 9 out of 10 guys in those years are selfish kids ruled my their sex drive more than anything else (like common sense and a generous heart). No one can help you but yourself in this scenario, and the only way you can so is by walking away for GOOD. Really! Kick him to the curb, and don't allow yourself to continue being his emotional pinata. You deserve better, and he deserves to be alone. Good luck :
