What if a friend broke up with your boyfriend without you knowing?

They are probably not a very good friend and you should seek friendship elsewhere.

What to do when your girlfriend is not receiving your call at the time you are patching things up with her?

It is evident that she does not want to talk with you at this time. Give her some time, don't be overbearing, needy or pushy and wait to see if she contacts you. If you find that she doesn't that should be very clear that she has made her decision and you should let her be and move on. If she does speak with her take it slow and don't overwhelm her.

How can you make up for missing a date?

First thing to do is apologize sincerely. Explain why you missed that special day. Don't forget to ask his/her again but make sure you make will make it this time. Make your second chance extra special.

Girlfriend says she wants to take a break for a month?

She wants to date another guy. She wants a month to see if he likes her & whether she likes him. Be careful of her. She might come back to you but she might not. No one who is serious wants a break of more than a few days.

Boyfriend thinking about breaking up?

If you don't want him to break up with you, then talk to him. Then he gets even more confident in the fact that you still want to be together and maybe he will reconsider he diecision.

What chases a guy away?

hairy nipples, neglect, smotheringness, speed, lack of speed, anything really

How can you tell if your husband regrets or is having second thoughts about leaving you?

* Keeps phoning or emailing you * Calls you at work with excuses (example: needs information on something or has a problem.) * Wants to visit with you. * Asks you out for a quick coffee or dinner. * Keeps asking what you are doing in your private life. * Sends you the odd gift. * Has friends ask about you. * You suddenly have friends or family telling you that the breakup was a mistake. Nine chances out of ten he's behind it. * If you have children and he makes excuses to see then more than usual. * Questions the children (if you have any) as to what you have been up too. The best thing to do is face him by asking him to meet with you. Just simply ask him if there is any chance for the two of you to get back together and if he doesn't give you a direct answer and may say he isn't ready yet, then YOU take control and tell him that you want your life back and he either commits to the marriage or you are filing for divorce.

What does it mean when your ex says he is sorry about everything but he has a new girlfriend which he is mostly in love with?

It sounds like he can't totally own up to what has actually happened. I once had an ex tell me he was KIND OF engaged to a new girl. Puleeze. At least your ex said he was sorry. It sounds like he doesn't want to hurt you any further. It sounds like he cares for you but doesn't see you as a girlfriend. Everyone has opinions. As much as it all hurts, remember that its just his opinion. If you're wondering if he made a mistake or if he will come back to you, yes there's a chance. But don't put your life on hold for it. If other guys ask you out, then go. Keep in mind that if he does come back, he ended things with you because he chose to be with another girl. Remember that. Don't make the mistake of taking him back. His loss. ~ T

Is an ex girlfriend who you dumped and treated poorly putting on an act when she completely ignores you and acts like she is happy and she was madly in love with you and now she seems to have grown?

She just might be happy...happy that you're not treating her poorly anymore. No doubt she probably wanted it to work out with you, but she has to get herself together since you wasn't there for her plus you dumped her. Be happy for her new happiness and treat you next one with respect.

Is the ex-girlfriend up to no good when she asks your boyfriend to go with her to release her car stating that she has 30 days but 3 months later she still says her lease is up in 30 days?

You boyfriend has no business seeing his ex! It's time you started to communicate and tell him you aren't jealous of his ex, but you don't share! If he gives you any lip over this then say, "Well you both broke-up for reasons of your own and normal people walk away from their exs. You can't have it both ways!" Let him know if this continues you will stop seeing him. NEVER be afraid to take a stand when something is wrong. You bet his ex is trying to still rein him in every so often and he's in control of his own life and should be mature enough to pucker up his lips and learn to say "no" to his ex. Go for it! Good luck Marcy

Why would your ex call you regularly to check on you or get your help if he has a new girlfriend?

It sounds as though he's wanting to keep you on the back burner, in case things with his current girlfriend don't work out. It's not respectful to either his current girlfriend or to you. Regardless if you still have feelings for your ex or not, would you want to be with a guy who continuously keeps tabs on and was in contact with a very recent ex girlfriend? This guy is your ex for a good reason. He's playing with both of your heads. Maybe he wants to keep you on the back burner if his new relationship doesnt work out. Does his new gal know he's calling to check on you and how insensitive that he calls and asks for help with his relationship. Is he a man or a mouse, cant he handle his own business....Why not suggest that you talk directly to the girlfriend to help out and see what he says, he will probably stutter and make up some bullcrap excuse of why you cant talk to her, then you have your answer.

How can you convince your narcissist ex husband that you are over him when he thinks you are still pineing for him?

Refuse to answer his calls (if you don't have 'Call Display' get it from your phone company ... it's cheap and you'll see his # and name.) Don't email him back or IM. If he bothers you at work or follows you then report him to the police and get a Restraining Order put on him. Although Restraining Orders aren't work the paper it's written on it is still a legal document and he breaks it you can take him to court. Hopefully you'll have a nice guy you'll be dating and usually when that happens the ex will split. Mine did. Good luck!

What does it mean when your boyfriend says he needs to remove the distractions from his life and focus on himself?

Perhaps it is a polite way of telling you he is no longer intested in your relationship. Ask him just what does he mean by his statement,then get on with your life. he wants space & time away from his partner. may that be his excuse to party or not does not matter. it still falls under the same catagory.

My girlfriend's guy friend is breaking us up?

i have recently have been getting extreemly jelous becasue she talks to guys more than me and the guys take lots of intrest with in her hit on her flirt with her, and she caught me looking at her messages and got angry but she is really proective of her phone like she is hiding something that's what made me curious iv tried no to get jelous but it comsumes me and i cant help it.

SuggestionYour jealousy is natural, but its source is your own insecurity. You are only jealous because you are afraid that you are not as good as these guys who flirt with her. The most likely reason why she is protective of her phone is that she can feel that you only want to read it out of overprotectiveness/jealousy, and of course she wouldn't like that. It's not alright for you to spy into her privacy if she doesn't let you (as in, you asked her and she said ok). But at the same time it's not ok of her to flirt with other guys, but you don't clearly say whether she does or whether it's only them. The question is, has she actually done anything bad that would justify being upset with her? She can't help if a guy flirts with her, but if she respected her boyfriend, it would be appropriate to discourage them flirting with her. What you need to do is, first make sure it's not just your own jealousy. If it turns out she's really not behaving very respectfully, tell her that you do not like that behaviour. If she cannot see her own mistake and refuses to change her behaviour, you need to break up with her.

In any of the cases, it's important that you realise that jealousy is completely due to insecurity. Imagine if you were completely sure that there's no reason for her to ever want another guy more than you - you would never be jealous of anyone would you? But... who says you can't be that sure? There's nothing keeping you from it except yourself. Because if you don't want to be secure and work for it, you can't.

How do you get a girl to break up with you without it hurting her?

Look, most relationships come and go, and everyone experiences hurt at some point. So instead of straining yourself and doing it the hard way, just end it yourself. Be gentle and considerate to her. I guarantee you, unless she herself was about to end it, she'll be hurt. It's no use trying to ease your way out of it. i agree. because whether you break up with her or she breaks up with you she's still going to end up hurt.. just because she broke off doesn't mean she wanted to her her feelings left it was because she had to so she wouldn't get hurt anymore than you were already hurting her..

How do i know if my boyfriend is joking around or telling the truth about killing me if i hurt him in any way?

What you can do is see if he is very tense after he says that or you could look at him in every way you can to see if he is joking.

If your boyfriend is commenting about hurting you in any way, is he really the kind of guy you want to have around? He should cherish you, not threaten you.

You and your boyfriend just broke up you feel really bad for breaking up with him and you still love him he wants you to take him back you started cutting yourself should you get help and take him bak?

Well for starters it might be good to get some help or at least a good friend you can trust that will help you. I don't know why you broke up but do what you feel is right. You say that you still love him and feel bad for breaking up so go from there.

What are tips to get back and ex boyfriend that hates you and has a new girlfriend?

  • No matter how broken hearted you are you are not listening to what your ex boyfriend is saying. I doubt he hates you, but he has moved on and has a new girlfriend. No one likes to feel rejected by someone they care about, but it happens to all of us at some time in our lives. He has made it clear that you are not getting back together; has his new girlfriend so you should be mature enough to face up to that and move on; start going out with friends and then start dating other young men. If you were meant to be with your ex boyfriend you would be together, but fate has stepped in and he is not the one for you and if you start datingsoon sometime in the future you will meet a special young man that you should be with.

Should my ex have left me alone when he emailed me after one year of no contact to tell me he wants to be a part of my life and he did not bother to write back after I responded?

  • It sounds as if your ex is 'fishing' to find out if you have a relationship with someone else and his own relationship at that given time may not have worked out. He also may be egotistical enough to know if you love him still and you probably assured of him of that so he is free to keep you hanging. Yes, he should have left you alone after not contacting you after a year, but then you answered his email and must have made confirmation as to how you felt about him. It is better to go over the reasons as to why you both split up and decide whether he is worth waiting for. It would be even wiser if you did not contact him at all or respond to him contacting you because he sounds selfish and inconsiderate of you and you can do much better.

What does it mean when your ex boyfriend asks your friend in front of his new girlfriend why you broke up with him?

Probably that he wants to know why you broke up with him. Doesn't necessarily mean anything more or less than that.

What does it mean when my ex boyfriend looks at me in a blank way?

If your boyfriend looks at you in a blank way it could mean that he feels neural about you, or that he's trying to appear that he does.

What do you do when you break up with someone because of how he was treating you but you still like each other but he doesn't want to get back together?

  • When a young man does not treat you well he has a psychological problem and you should never allow yourself to put up with the way he treats you as he will never have any respect for you and he will treat you worse. Whether you like each other or not you are now exes and both of you should be moving forward in the opposite directions.
