Hey Josh, I Wanna Break Up Before Prom

Promlem #5 from Steph:

“I’m supposed to go to prom with my boyfriend, but prom is still a month away and there’s no way the relationship is surviving until then. He’s clingy and feels like he constantly has to have his hand on my arm, back, etc. We can never just sit around and talk. He also doesn’t like that I coach a team of younger girls, but I live for those girls.

I don’t know how to end it without it getting ugly, even though in past break-ups I’ve been able to mediate things pretty well. If we break up, do I still go to prom with him? I’m at a complete loss at how to handle everything. In over my head doesn’t even begin to cover it.”

Yo Steph,

Ditch this dude. You’re done with him anyway. Get it over with. It’s better for you and better for him. If you respect him at all, don’t force him to take you to prom, spend money on an expensive dinner when you’d rather be eating pizza anyway, and make him endure a horribly awkward prom evening ending with a goodnight hand-shake.

Wow…that was a massive run-on sentence.

Uh yeah, get rid of him and go to the prom with your friends or with a friend who also happens to stand to urinate.

In a tux, but on your side,

Steph,

It would be easier if you just broke up with him ASAP. Don’t give him a huge list of reasons along with the breakup just explain in a simple, mature way that it’s not working out for you.

That way, it won’t seem like you’re faking your feelings for him because you don’t want to hurt him.

Unless you have already promised you’ll go to prom with him, I don’t think it’d be wrong to not go with him. Prom is one of the only things in high school people actually look forward too. Don’t ruin your chances of having a good time by spending prom with someone you don’t enjoy being around.

Good luck,
-Madi

The closer it is until prom, the worse it is. He should be making reservations, getting his tux, and so on in the next week if he hasn’t already. Once he’s done that, it won’t be pretty. If you know you two are going down, the sooner the better.
