My boyfriend and I are going through a rough patch. Is there any hope for us?

Hi, Steve Harvey has a book about dating and relationships called, Act like a Lady, Think like a Man. The book is a good read and should help you evaluate your relationship with him. It does not hurt to be separated a little while. Like one to three months. Longer periods of separation will take its toll. Keeping in contact will help evaluate your commitment and meeting other guys will either add or subtract to your committed relationship with him.
