Breakups
It takes two to make it work, but only one to break it up. This is the place to ask questions about the pain, healing, and possible solutions to relationship break-ups.
8,665 Questions
It's impossible to give correct stats because some women keep this a secret for the rest of their lives and often their boyfriend never suspects and he thinks the break-up is for something else. I'm happy to say there are still some young woman (older ones too) that have the honesty and integrity to tell their present partner how they feel and that they want to break the relationship off. Most women don't want to hurt their present boyfriend any more than they have too.
Why would your ex girlfriend tell you that you deserve better?
Because she feels guilty for breaking up with you. She likes you as a person she's just not interested in dating you anymore. Or she's fallen in love with someone else and has been cheating on you and feels very guilty about it. She wants a clean and neat breakup and doesn't want to get into an ugly argument so she makes you feel that the breakup is her fault and that she's not good enough for you to soothe your ego
If you are asking this question, then you are doubting, and that's not a very good sign... You know someone loves you when they do things they dislike, or sacrifices, just to make you happy, even if they are unhappy... when you know, you know... but you definetly shouldn't ask others cause we all love in different ways = )
just checking! but I guess you are right.
I do think it's a half / half work ...
and they both have to see that, wichhever way.
Answer
Either they tell you that they love you and/or they show you that they love you maybe by the way they look at you, doing caring things for you - even the smallest things which sometimes mean more, acting in a loving manner towards you.
What are the first steps in letting go of someone that does not love you back?
know that you deserve better:)
Well if they don't love you,don't change you personality, just move on in life, you'll have another oppurtunity!
Is it possible that there can be too much water under the bridge to go back to a relationship?
* It depends if the couple broke up as friends or if it was over cheating or arguing. If there were more bad memories of the relationship than good ones it's best for the two go their separate ways. Sometimes separation from each other may mature both parties and it's possible to get back together and have a better relationship, but it's up to the two particular individuals.
You cant stop looking for other women after suspecting your girlfriend of being monogamous?
You suspect your girlfriend is being monogamous... Which means she *is* being faithful, just so you know. I would suggest talking to her, and let her understand that you can't stop looking at other women.
Now, if you mean that you suspect that she *isn't* monogamous... then I would still talk to her. Don't accuse her of anything, but try to get to the bottom of it. No one likes having fingers pointed at them. Now, you're looking at other women, even though you only suspect her of having cheated... I'd stop looking for other women. Just - stop. If she's cheated on you, decide if you want to stay with her or to leave her. If you stay, don't cheat. If you don't stay, then go ahead and look for other women AFTER you break up.
Do women suffer after the break up and think of you?
Everyone suffers after a break up! i know that ive suffered as i have recently split with my ex. And i know that i think abouit him every second of the day so it's likely that the woman you are talking about thinks of you! if you are asking this question, then you obviously still love her! do yourself a favour CALL HER! if you can't get hold of her go round to see her! if she doesnt want you back then the sooner you move on the better! honestly if my ex had called me to sort thigs out id be back with him, but he didnt. he left it too late for me... don't leave it to late for her!!!!
If (as I gather) this ex-wife has custody of the son, she can refuse to bring him to a home where she expects to find an unhealthy social environment. Of course, this could be motivated purely by jealousy rather than by a legitimate concern for the welfare of the child. In any event, the boyfriend in question does not have to make his girlfriend move out, but the ex-wife can refuse to allow her son to move in with him. They each get to decide what they are willing to accept. If the boyfriend insists on living with both his girlfriend and his son, his only recourse is to ask the courts to award full custody to him, which they will only do if they believe that the ex-wife is not a good mother.
do what she wants, go slow, be nice, never ever talk about other girls, and she'll trust you little by little
Well, taking a relationship slow isn't a bad thing. Especially if you are quite young, like you say you are. If you want to gain her trust more, I would give it a little time. You have already dated once, and even though you may not have broken up on bad terms that doesn't mean she isn't afraid it won't happen again. I would just try to be completely honest with her about things, and hope that she can find it in her heart to completely trust you.
Is it ever possible to be friends with your ex when sex was involved i tend to think no You?
Believe it or not it is possible to be friends with an ex even if there was sex involved. Its difficult but after time passes you become okay with each other again. Things may never be the same as before you dated but there can be a friendship there.
My girlfriend best friend wants her to dump so he could go out with my girlfriend?
i would seriously go and talk it over with ur girlfriend, then go beat the livin crap out of the guy who wants to get with ur gf, if ur not a good fighter, chuck Norris is always there...... no jk but u really should punch him or do something physical to him, and no if ur thinkin like that then ur just sick... but ya punch him in the face, but if ur friends wit him, just threaten him, not like, ''ill kill u man'' but just like promise him rather than threaten him, just b like man u keep talkin to my gf, theres gonna be consiquences.
I dont like my girlfriend anymore and I want to dump her-how do I break it to her?
My friend has gone through this before so id advise u to stop hanging out wit her and if she catches u some how, make up a good reason and believable so it wont hurt her, of course u should stay away from her as far as possible.
That may be his of saying, "Can we explore a friends with benefits relationship instead?"
I would think that he likes being intimate with you but also wants to be intimate with others as well and probably wants more freedom.
You feel like your boyfriend and you are in two different places in your lives how do you tell him?
carefully and slowly lols maybe u should just get it out now before its too late unless ur scared of him then i would prefer texting or calling or sending him a letter telling him specifically in detail why u want to break up so that way he can read it and then think about it slowly and understand easier
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Definitely face-to-face in my opinion.
You need to be very honest, even though it may subsequently hurt the next person. No sugar-coating. This is to ensure that there are no misunderstandings of what is really being said.
So ask the person to give you a chance to finish say what's on your heart to say before they comment. Then, dive in head first with your main point (I feel like we are in two different places in our lives), no beating around the bush, and the conversation will develop from there.
You never know, things might be revealed on both sides that might change your mind about how you feel, or solidify your feelings.
The outcome of the conversation would either be that yawl break up or agree to work together to improve things. Either which way, you need to prepared to deal with the outcome.
I do hope that your boyfriend is mature enough to handle the situation calmly and rationally though.
All the best!
Yes cos he love you
Why do some people say that being addicted to drugs is better than to love someone?
- Only an unintelligent person would say that being addicted to a drug or drugs is better than to love someone. Certainly loving someone can bring certain people pain, but pain is part of life and all drugs manage to do is cover the pain (person is in a stupor,) but eventually the drugs will take its toll on the body and the person is left with poor health; loss of brain cells and eventually death.
When you see your ex should you try to impress them?
The best option is to live well and not look back. if you are truly happy your ex will not enter that equation.
Why would an old boyfriend from high school contact you after 20 years?
Probably because he liked you then (not necessarily romantically) and wants to know how things turned out for you. If you feel the same, you preface everything with "I am married now, have kids, etc. when talking with him. A meal out is fine, but make sure to invite your husband along and/or meet at a family restaurant and return home after eating. From the reunions I have been to, it has been fun to check out the people I knew back when. Not all of them were trying to troll for a mate.
This is something you should be asking him, If the relationship is worth saving then it is worth conquering your fears and talking with the guy.
If you really like the guy go out with him.You and your ex are over...
What is the best way to get your ex girlfriend back after drama from a break up?
Well, depending on who broke up with who, this could be easier or harder. Now, this might sound cliched, but you should tell her the truth. Tell her your sorry for whatever you did, and if you didnt do anything, then tell her all the reasons you want her back. bring up things that you did or used to do when you were together. Try to be as sweet as possible. Note how I said "sweet" and not "romantic". she probably doesnt want you to be all sexy after you broke up. so going with sweet would be much safer. Do this when you're alone with her, and dont put her on the spot. If it doesnt work out, then dont push it, because that will drive her away more. I hope this was helpful :)
You had a boy friend for 5 years now he has a new girl friend?
GEt a new guy and make your old guy jealous!!
If you REALLY know your still in love with him then you need to join the army with him. He cant hurt you if your in the same situation as he is. He also cant hurt you if you get hit in the gut by a bullet. but whatever... right?
Its happened to me, i know.
Some advocate imagining the audience naked to help you overcome the fear of public speaking. Frankly, just imagining a crowd naked is both sickening and fearful to me. dont think about throwing up. try having someone talking to you and you responding yes or no. if u end up throwing up then im sorry i told you to do that. its wat helped me not be shy
