Q: I'm in love with a boy I've been in a relationship with a year and a half. Acouple of days ago he pretty much gave up. I've tried everything and I just need him back..I don't know what to do, I just love him so much but I feel like he doesn't even care anymore

I like to think of a relationship as a rubber band. You’re holding one end and he’s holding the other. If you both pull to hard it snaps, but if one of you let’s go or loosens it, while the other person is holding onto it and pulling, not only is the bond broken, but it comes back to hit the person trying too hard…
