I couldn't handle it anymore, waiting around to find out what my bf wants in our relationship. We still act like we're in a relationship but we've taken on the status of being on a "BREAK".

I didn't want to leave the relationship completely. I want to fix things, to restore what is left of us, after finding out he was cheating on me. Yes I know, I've heard it all: "once a cheater, always a cheater, I am wasting my time, move on, there is someone better for me, etc"

I did leave him completely but he begged for us to work things out. I told him it'll be a challenge to win back my trust. He ended giving up when my anger kept getting in the way and I drove him to the edge of living in guilt and shame. I backed off and now we're still trying to work things out.

I can't handle not knowing what is the status of our relationship. Are we still gf and bf and working on our relationship? Instead are we friends working towards to becoming a couple again? I need stability, I need to have a foundation of some sort to give me a sense of security. I am scared that he'll get comfortable of being on this "break status" and he won't want nothing more for our relationship. When I want a relationship but he rather just be friends. I need to know what we're working towards.

He told me to take things slow and lets work towards to us being together again. I say that sounds great but we can't keep having sex like we're in a relationship, we can't act like we're together when the next moment he talks to me like we're friends. I can't handle the ups and downs of not knowing what is going on in our relationship.

So I told him that I'm giving him 2 weeks to figure out what he wants out of this relationship. If we're friends then we will stay as friends but no more physical and emotional intimacy. I need to have boundaries to protect my heart.

Am I wrong to ask of this?
