Should I leave him?

My boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years with some break ups in between. He disappoints me most of the time when he breaks his promises. One time I asked him what he love about me and sadly he couldn't answer. It's little things he does that just keep disappointing me. I am mostly happy with him I really am. But something that throws me off is that we r still not married, we r currently engaged but have been for the past 2 years and still nothing, what if he doesn't even want to get married? He never tells me when or anything about it. I am scared of leaving because I've left him before and I just felt like dying, like something was missing, and I was so miserable. Lately he has been distant and today he hasn't answered my calls or txts since like 4 Which is not like him. I feel ignored, unwanted, and sometimes unhappy. What is ur opinion on this? Should I keep trying or leave? Please help my heart is breaking.

You're still very young and have your whole life ahead of you. If you and your boyfriend are going through these kinds of problems now it will most likely only get worse if you get married. Marriage does not fix a relationship. You have to have a really good one before you even think about spending the rest of your life with someone. Yes, it will hurt for awhile if you leave but think about how happy your life can be because you don't sound very happy right now. Life is too short and my advice is to live it to the fullest. Be as happy as you can possibly be and it does'nt sound like this is going to happen with your boyfriend.

I'm sorry to hear your heart is breaking. I am in the similar situation. Feeling all alone and ignored. I feel the the harder we try the less we get in return. I also tried to break up my relationship and felt like the world has just fallen apart. It comes to making a decision what's worse, living like this (ignored and unhappy) or have a bad coupe of months and then pick up the pieces and move on. I feel your pain :-(
