Do you have to love him to kiss him?

<p>A few weeks ago, we got into a small fight because I found it problematic that at times, he would get more excited about my roommate than me. I asked if he deliberately planned to have some alone time with my roommate (long story). He said no, but I was suspicious still and persisted with some questions to test him. He got angry at me and for a day we didn’t talk (he started the no communication thing). I thought he was merely trying to get my attention and to get me to feel sorry for suspecting him, but I didn’t, so his plan didn’t work. He finally sent me an email cursing me out for not trusting him and put the relationship “on hold indefinitely.” I said OK, it was time for us to take a break anyway (indeed, that’s how I felt at the time…it was exhausting trying to keep a long-distance relationship). He changed his mind. We talked on the phone for 2 hours about how incompatible I thought we were. I proposed that we take a break, stay single/date other people or whatever so we know we’re not in the relationship just for the sake of being in one. He disagreed at first, but I convinced him it would be the best decision for us. The next time we met up in person, I decided I didn’t want to take the break at all. In my head, I could spell out the reasons I should be with this other boy (we’re really compatible), but my instinct was telling me to go with what I had, and I have a feeling I just committed my life away (seriously). My friends agree that he’s in this for the long haul.</p>
