Dear Abby,

I've been dating or I guess now, "dated" my boyfriend for a year and now we are done.  I totally screwed up by being over confident and cocky and now I resent myself. Every fight we had, I always threatened to leave, and usually he would beg me to stay, but the last fight we had, he let me leave and hasn't tried to get in touch with me. What should I do? I want to be with him.

Backfired in Green Bay

Dear Backfired,

OUCH! I think its safe to say we've all done that! You get into a heated fight where no one wants to be wrong and now you got burned in the end. To make you feel better, I too have threatened to just walk out in past relationships, and eventually, it backfired on me too. Here's the deal, he hasn't tried to contact you because YOU left. Yeah, he didn't try to stop you, but you were the one in control of the situation. Call him up, apologize for walking out, and sit down and talk out your issues. If he doesn't want to talk, the relationship might be over, but trust me. You left, he is probably taking that as you putting an end to your relationship.
