@bellpickle:

It's good to hear you've figured something out. Have a plan, and stick to it. There is no right or wrong here, so just take some action. Good for you! :)

@Kastom:

Thank you so much for the advice. I really do appreciate it!

I dunno... I talked with a friend about things just now, and she's much more experienced with complicated relationships than I am, so she was able to offer some really good advice. The gist of it is, she suggested that I give him more space because backing off a little can apparently do wonders when two people might be spending a little too much time around each other. So... for now, i think I'll definitely go along with that. And I guess I'll see how things work out. :)

I know how you feel more than I'd like to admit.

And quite plain and simply, there's not really all that much I can say to help. How I dealt with it is probably not the healthiest method, lol. I just managed to force myself into not caring, and just going along with everything. Huzzah for emotions! Burying them ftw :P

I know it sucks, but I have two suggestions: either just throw all the fuck all, and go an talk to him, or just decide to yourself that you won't care about him so much anymore. He's influencing your life way too much, so you have to either let him know, or let him go.

Or you can just go along with everything I suppose. :/

Still, whatever you do, do not slow down on your schoolwork. You'll hate yourself later if you do anything now that will mess up your education.
