Breakups

If the gifts are engagement rings, then yes.

Well there are a lot of potential reasons, they could not have a reason they want to tell you, like if their friends didn't like you, or they found somebody else, or if they just plain didn't have a reason.

Maybe there's something on his mind, and he's distracted. Just ask him, what's up.

basically that means she is sorry and misses you. dude she wants you back...

maybe he sees your not tiring to get him back or your not just taking the brake up like he thought you would. Some guys still want attention from theirs ex's.

• If a girl is afraid to break up with her boyfriend it could be she is afraid she will not have another boyfriend in the future; she may worry about what especially his friends will say about her; she may think she may make a mistake and will not have another chance to start another relationship with him or, he may be controlling her or even verbally or physically abusive and she does not know how to walk away from him without him following her.

• I am very sorry to hear of your loss. You are going through a normal grieving process and there is nothing wrong with keeping your husband's ashes close to you if it brings you some peace. You can keep his ashes with the request in your Will that you have your husband's ashes buried with you or, if you have chosen to be cremated then have both sets of ashes taken to the favorite place of your husbands and you and have the ashes scattered (many people do this.) In time the hurt will go away, but of course your husband will always be in your heart. Remind yourself of what he would think if you just sat about forever and didn't dust yourself off eventually and start living.

Being 15 is a wonderful age. You will experience different kinds of feelings. This is the time and the right age to think of what you wanted in life. What will be your goal when you graduated high school. And much, much more.

Its when your partner pounds your butt

I am in the same situtation. You follow your heart. It is possible that the people will get hurt, but you cant stay if you are not truly happy with that person. I feel that staying will only waste time that both of you dont need.

yes there is because if your true love really loves you they should be able to wait for you regardless what the matter is.

• Whether your ex has an illness or not it would be dishonest to get back into a loveless relationship. By going back to your ex you are enabling their behavior. You need to be kind, but communicate the fact to your ex they need to learn to rely on their own immediate family, friends and themselves. If the ex is your husband and you have children then you only need to be there for your ex by encouraging them on the phone or visiting them in the hospital.

Yes, nothing will change as it seems he has personal issues of his own that he needs to work through. This is an abusive relationship and with time if you stay it will only become worse - it would be in your best interest to get out now, sooner than later.

stick your finger in his butthole and call it macaroni stick your finger in his butthole and call it macaroni stick your finger in his butthole and call it macaroni

Because it doesn't matter if he is 42, 2, or 4.......he's a boy....and like a kid in a candy shop, he's always looking for something more, better or different to satisfy his "taste" at the moment. Problem is, he already had the 100,000 dollar bar, but traded it for penny candy. My advice to you......take his empty wrapper of a self and throw it in the TRASH! Don't even bother to recycle this one!

It's wonderful that you are over your cancer and that you were lucky enough to have such a loving and concerned girlfriend. If you truly believe you have a strong attraction to each other and are of legal age then propose to her. Hopefully she will accept the ring. Good luck! You deserve it!

i had to do this. i just said, "your a better person, much more fun, and i like you better when you're not around HER." he got it.

He/she is probably just nervous because you're his/her best friend. You shold call him/her and just talk, se how he/she feels about it.

just tell him, its easier, tell him you need sometime to think, or you dont think its gonna work out.

You don't! This one is to be resolved by your girlfriend. Communication is the key. If she has given you reason to believe she could still be in love with her ex then I think you should just sit down and ask her what she wants. If she keeps thinking of her ex or mentioning him to you, then I suggest you put the ball in her park and tell her that you feel you should split-up indefinetly to give her time to make up her mind. Don't make yourself so available! Be very sure you are not imagining that she still cares for her ex and that's why you must ask her first before taking action.

If she admits to still caring for her ex, the separation from each other will get her to make up her mind fast. Don't make it too easy for her to come back either.

Good Luck Merry Xmas Marcy

Since they are now adults it's none of their business! You aren't stopping them from having any time with their father and they should respect your wishes and meet their father either in their own homes or, out in a public place such as a coffee shop, restaurant. I would suggest you get all your children together (with their mates) and express what you feel. Tell them that you have a right to a life just like they do, and like it or not, you are striving for that new life and they can like it or lump it. Be matter-of-fact, polite (no yelling, screaming, crying) and say what is in your heart. Myself, if I were in your shoes I'd do exactly what I told you and do it 100% with no guilt attached. There was a movie out in the 50s with Jane Wyman and her kids did the same thing. She was in love with a gardner (Rock Hudson) and he was younger than her. Her kids thought she was out of her mind and made such a fuss she gave up her true love to please her kids. What did the kids do? They'd gone off to college, got engaged to their mates, and ended up at Xmas time buying her a TV and expected her to sit in front of that blasted TV the rest of her life! It was at this point that Jane Wyman looked around her empty house, saw the black/white TV, heard herself breathing (alone), pushed back her blanket, got off the chair and went after that gardner and they got back together! So, unless you remove yourself from your ex to some degree, you're going to be that woman staring into empty space. You deserve better! I was married before as well and left my abusive husband, and have now been married 33 years to a great guy. I grew strong from that experience and I know to this day that I'd rather be alone than with a man that doesn't treat me well. The good thing is, you won't be alone if you get out and mingle. I would also like to suggest (if you have grandchildren) put your differences aside for the holiday season and perhaps special occasions in the family and put up with your husband for a couple of hours. It won't hurt you, and it would be great as a family unit. To your grown kids you and your husband will just be "mom and dad" and always will be. To your grandchildren it will always be "grandpa and grandma." Right now things are fresh in your mind and I understand why you don't want to see him, but pull on your strength and realize he can't tell you what to do anymore and you are a free individual. This is a quote I learned not long ago and I loved it so much I wrote it out and stuck it on my fridge. "IF YOU CANNOT FORGIVE THE PERSON THAT HURT YOU THEN THEY STILL HAVE CONTROL OVER YOU." If you learn from the above quote like I did, then seeing your rx husband at a family function should give you strength to stand your ground, smile pleasantly and make it a short evening. That shows him how in control you are of your own life. Other than that, tell your kids to take a hike and special occasions are the best you can do as far as seeing your ex husband. Good luck Merry Christmas Marcy I agree with all the above.

Me and my girlfriend recently split up when she started going out with her new friends. She has always enjoyed dancing and music, and im not all that good a dancer and dont really enjoy it. Now she has the opportunity to go out and dance and have fun, she doesnt want me anymore. I know she still loves me as she has said at times, and what we had was special and fun but in a different way. At the moment im just trying to be her friend but im scared stiff she's going to get with someone else, and if i see her out talking to other men i get jealous. Is just being friends and being there for her the right thing to do, or is there another way to try and win her heart back?

*Yes, this can happen. We often have heard the words, "It takes two." This doesn't mean that one spouse is a narcissist, but, they allowed the narcissist to get away with their behavior and therefore were enablers. Even when you get a separation from your spouse or a divorce often one partner will blame themselves when they didn't cause the circumstances for the separation or divorce. When I was married the first time my husband cheated, lied and became mentally/physically abusive. I took it for almost 3 years and finally had the brains to leave him. I know how hard that choice can be no matter what the circumstances. For a couple of years later I was blaming myself and telling myself if I'd been a good wife then he wouldn't have cheated on me. It wasn't until a very wise friend of mine straightened me out on that one. Although I'm not perfect I have never cheated on a boyfriend or my first husband and certainly not my second husband. We sometimes just feel within ourselves we could have done more. It's no different than someone you love being ill and dying, or they are in a terrible accident. Family members and even friends will say, "If only I hadn't" or "If I had just talked to them." Fate happens as do accidents, but, when we can see someone purposely hurting us that's the time to make a decision to get out and keep moving and try to shake the guilty feelings that we simply didn't do enough to make it work. It is even more so if you were raised in a dysfunctional environment such as a mentally ill mother, alcoholism or even a parent was a narcisssit. You have been "trained" already to accept the blame for things others did wrong and that your feelings and self are not relevant. You tend to view others needs as more important than your own. == All so true... This is HUGE, "When we can see someone purposely hurting us that's the time to make a decision to get out and keep moving and try to shake the guilty feelings that we simply didn't do enough to make it work.". This really simplifies things. When I realized my N fiance' was doing this, it was as though I were being hit over the head with a bat. It had never occurred to me he was doing things 'intentionally' to hurt me because I (and those I know and love) am so incapable of doing that myself. He actually admitted this in counseling 'with a smile on his face'. Wham! That was huge. Someone like that has serious 'character' flaws that cannot be changed by love. They say character is solidly defined by age 5. If we were mistreated as children/teens, we will blame ourselves into thinking it was our fault. We simply carry this over into our adult relationships and continue to repeat the cycle of abuse. Only this time, we have a choice - we can leave. Take care, AlwaysLearning

A rebound relationship can be either person.
