Why is your ex insulting you?

Multiple reasons. If u were a doormat once. She may be testing. You may have said something rude to her. Unless that has happened just assume she's testing you. So just ignore it.

How do you get rid of your ex girlfriend's current boyfriend?

If the ex girlfriend won't back off try getting your boyfriend to talk to her (maybe with you there also if you feel insecure about it) telling her that he is with you now and that she needs to get over him and move on.

Maybe she just needs that final ultimate confirmation that there is nothing left between them and they are not going to get back together before she can move on. Be gentle with her, as her feelings are obviously still raw.

What if someone wants to be just friends but you dont want to be just friends?

tell them that you like them but are not ready ---- You don't have to go any further than you are comfortable with. Follow your feelings; they will help guide you. Also, let no one force you to go any further than you want to.

How do you get over your ex when you have to see each other because you work together?

You have to hold your head high, do what is required of you at work and move forward. Accept and realize it is over and when you allow yourself that you will be able to move on. It takes time but you can do it and you will get by this.

How do you chose between two people you love?

If you can't decide then you don't love either because when your in love with someone there is no one else so you're not in love, you're in lust. Being in love is not a two way tie. Either you love one of them or you don't.

AnswerI once read that to work out whether you should marry someone you should imagine life WITHOUT them in 20 years time. I think this would apply here.

Not which can you live with, but which can't you live without?

AnswerYou don't love these men. You are looking out for only yourself and what best suits you even if it hurts others, that is not love. I think you would be doing both these men a huge favour by letting them go, so they can move onto nice women who will be there for them in every way. You sound insecure and I think perhaps you need to focus on getting healthy then you will treat others well. AnswerGo on history. I have the same dillema. It is not about you not being emotionally healthy or not. If you trully hold each one in your heart, and they hold you in theirs, then it can be a difficult choice. Overall however, there has to be just one. The one that makes butterflies come even after its been so long. The one that brings a smile to your face every time anything about them is mentioned or seen. The one that you simply cant imagine losing completely. I think the above suggestion is right. Which one can't you live without? If they love you they will wait. There a budhist saying I heard a while back - "If you love something, let it go free. If it doesn't come back, you never had it. If it does, love it forever." Whichever guy you choose, stick to him, for all its worth.

Can two people who admittedly love each other survive a break-up to break a cycle of bad habits and eventually come back together?

Answer

We just ignored the problems... well, didn't ignore them. Just didn't fix them. Took each other for granted a bit. Wanted to believe things would get better on their own, but they never did. Until we got to the breaking point, where the only way to break the cycle was to break up. Very foolish... agreed we wished we could have seen this earlier. The conversation was very open, both of us knew it was the only way to break the cycle, though neither of us "wanted" to break up. But even at the end of the conversation and all throughout, we talked about how we had wanted to get married (but can't if those problems will occur in the future), and how much we love each other. I mean, we said "I love you to one another" just before we walked away from each other. I just don't know what to think. Answer

The first thing you should have done was talk openly about why you had to break up, then chang the things that got you there in the first place and then do something about it together. One person can't solve the problems that two people are experiencing. If your love is strong as you suggest in your question why didn't the two of you do something together to avoid the break up in the first place.

How do you break up with you boyfriend who's obsessed with you?

RUN! If a boy is obsessed you have to get out! He is just trying to control you so you fall that in love with him, he is trying to make you the one he loves and him the one you love. I have personal experience of this and no matter how charming the word "love" sounds, find out the sincerity levels behind the word.

How and should you tell your ex that you are seeing someone new?

first off you shouldn't have to tell your ex that you have somone new. It is none of there bissness. who ended the relationship? If they did then it is none of there bissness, well eaither way i wouldn't tell them because that can start major problems i learnt that the hard way. hop i helped amber

You should not feel obligated to tell your ex anything. He/she is your ex, which means he/she has no right to any decisions in your life. It is none of his or her business. If by chance you are still seeing this person (maybe sexually) than you have made a mess of things and have not made a clean break. For that reason, you should just simply tell your "ex" if you are seeing someone new rightaway. If this is a clean break up, than move on with your life and enjoy your new special friend without a second thought about your ex.

hi, are you still in contact with this ex of yours? as just a friend or sexually as well?

if it's just as a friend, tell them and give them the option.. PLEASE, to make the decision they deserve to make, of chosing to stay being your friend, or move on without you in their life.

you can't have your cake and eat it too.

if it's sexually.. you selfish human being. if this is the case, do both people the favour, and leave them alone.

you can't have your cake here either and eat it too.

if there is no real contact with your ex, then you don't need to tell your ex anything at all, and just move on with your new relationship.

How do you make a guy regret breaking up with you?

You don't.

You learn from what happened and try to improve on things you had a part in.

You dont give up on love, faith or hope. Choose a path of renewal, learning, and ultimately forgiveness.

Thinking of punishing him will ONLY backfire and HURT YOU even more.

Why do families breakup?

Families break up because of many causes. Sometimes these issues are made into huge public affairs whereas others are kept within the family. These issues could be because either one of the parents loves somebody else, they never agree to anything and they think that they won't be able to make it work, either parent is extremely low on patience and the other is low on tolerance- why there are so many reasons. Sometimes you don't even know the person that you are marrying and therefore break up with them because you don'tlove or even remotely like them. These are some of the reasons that parents break up and leave your family broken for a while or forever. If the breakup happens with another member of the family it could be because that person has done something very wrong, they have had some falling out, or just the reason that the person wanted to do something they loved and therefore left so that they could pursue their choice of a career. Daughters could even run away and feel too ashamed to return to their families.

Does an ex husband ever become friends with the ex lover his wife cheated with?

Can you sue someone for messing up your life?

It depends on if what they did was illegal and if you have the money to sue.

No. You have to accept some of the responsiblity for what happened. It just isn't one person who does it, but you are in some way involved. Get over and get on with things. Use the experience as a learning tool so you won't do it again.

Answer

Yes, you can if what they did was a criminal act towards you or a civil wrong such as slander.

How do you tell when you are in love?

that's not an easy question to answer.. maybe impossible.. especially when asking strangers with no knowledge whatsoever on your love life..

id like to say that when youre in love, you just know. you could read about emotions your whole life and then when you experience them, theyre nothing like you thought.. so much inexplicably stronger. there are just somethings that cannot be fit into paper. what i mean is, don't let strangers -or anyone else for that matter- but yourself influence your decisions in what only who can know. who you are in love with being one of the things only you can know. some may say:

"when you relate to love songs in ways you couldn't before, when all you think about is that significant other, when somethings feel like they have not happened yet until you tell him or her, when everything reminds you of him/her, when you only see him/her, close your eyes and there he/she is, you replay moments with him/her in your head until you see him/her again, it hurts to think this could end, you believe it will never end, you get scared without him/her of things you once could handle by yourself, the world seems to revolve around him/her" ... ...

these "signs" coming from someone who has never been in love. its so easy to think you are in love when you are really not. some people fall in love with the idea of being in love and their minds play trick on them. but i think that emotions that strong don't need verification through love quizes or marking which of the signs you relate to and tallying them up in pros/cons... its just a built-in thing... you just know. at least that's what i like to believe. let me know if this helps you or if you were just curious. :]

Does an ex boyfriend still love you if he tries to make you jealous?

I think so. Why would he take all of that time and effort to make you jealous if there still weren't any feelings involved on his behalf? He's at least still thinking about you if he's trying to make you jealous.

AnswerIt depends what type of relationship you both had. I would think in a way yes and in a way no. Yes, because why would he do this in the first place and no, because he's just probably being childish. AnswerYes he may. He is definetly thinking of you. If he was over you he wouldn't care if you thought he was living life as a monk. He is trying to show you that hes still got it and that you better act quick cause hes a limited time offer. I think men that so this is actually rather amusing. A man recently tried that with me and I thanked him for the drama. I think its also grasping at straws.

Why can't i forget him?

Its hard to just forget someone you liked or loved. The best thing to do is to just keep busy doing other things with friends or family or even just alone. Even though it might take a while, you'll get over him and move on to bigger and better.

How often do high school sweethearts statistically last?

People who marry in their teens have only a 54% chance of still being married after 10 years. However, a survey done by the dating service eHarmony suggests that couples who meet in school (including college) are happier than those who have met other places (through friends, at a bar, etc.) Data shows a person is less likely to get divorced when they get married at an older age. About half of people 25 and under are married, and by the time they're 35, 11% of them will be divorced.

How do you get over an ex when you have a child together?

You should keep your conversation restrict to about children only. You should try to accept the fact . Avoid contacting them unnecessarily (for no reason).

You do need to see your ex from time to time for a couple of reasons. One reason is so your children will still see their parents as "their parents", not a "parent and another parent", especially if they aren't yet grown. It's important for the kids to still feel they have both parents as a 'unit'.

Another reason is for you. Yes, you. Sometimes the best way to get over someone is to see them not as your wife or husband, but as your ex. If you don't see them, then your mind can still 'pretend' you and your ex are still together, or keep false hope that you will get back together. So by seeing your ex as just that - your ex- you will come to terms with it more quickly, because it can help you to see them in a whole new light, which can help you tremendously. I know it may sound odd at first, but give it a try for a while and you just may be pleasantly surprised at the things about her which you notice that annoy you, but you never gave them much thought while you were together. It's the little things like that which actually can make a difference in helping you to get over her.

Also, allow yourself time to grieve, just as you do when someone dies. After all, this is the death of a marriage, so you need time to grieve. When you feel the need to cry, then let yourself cry as loud and as long as you need to. When I went through my divorce, I cried myself to sleep many, many nights. And I cried all day during the day when I wasn't at work. I felt I would die of a broken heart. This went on for a while, then I literally ran out of tears. But what I didn't do was to let my children see me breaking down; I didn't want them to think badly of their father for hurting me by being with another woman. After all, he was still their father, and I knew they still loved him as much as ever, as they should. Also, I knew, even though they were teens, they were hurting badly, too, and I didn't want to add to their pain.

After you go through the intial grieving process you will go through an anger phase, which is normal, but is also good. Anger is easier to deal with than pain and hurt. When I became angry at my ex husband for cheating again, the anger hit me hard. And that was when my healing finally began. I also realized then that what I had been crying over and grieving for was the man I thought he was, not the man I learned he really was. And that helped me tremendously.

If she does start to show interest in you again, and if you still love her, don't play games. Just tell her straight out that you won't allow yourself to be hurt again. If her interest is sincere and she regrets the divorce, she will say so. If she doesn't, then she is just playing games, and you need to just walk away.

Don't let her use you as her personal bank, either. I've seen women leave their husbands, then treat them as a bank when they wanted money, knowing her husand still loved her. If she made the choice to break up the marriage, then she has to suffer the consequences. She can't expect you to pay for her play time or shopping. Paying child support is a given, but the rest is her responsibility. Don't let her use you for a free handyman or repair man, either. That would only be more painful for you, and unfair to you.

Often, after a divorce when the one who wanted the divorce see their ex is dating someone else, they will feel a bit possessive, and even jealous, or see it as a game to see if they can get their ex back. Don't fall for that. If you still love her and feel she still loves you too, then give it another try. But if you feel she is not sincere, then do not let her hurt you again, or succeed in keeping you from finding happiness with someone else. But honest communication is crucial for both of you, so tell her upfront how you feel if she does try to reel you back in after you do begin dating.

What do you say to someone you love when you feel like they are trying to hurt you for the mistakes you made in your relationship?

If they are still dragging up past issues and cannot get by them you both need to sitdown together and discuss this situation as it cannot carry on. You need to discuss how one another feels about whatever issues there are and deal with them then leave them in the past - learn from the mistakes, forgive and try to move forward. If they feel they cannot give this behaviour up and move forward then you may have to rethink your relationship and if your willing to put up with this ongoing or get out while you can and move on.

How can you stop loving someone who is already married?

You can start by not being around them anymore. However difficult or impossible it might seem to "let go" you must keep away from them. Avoid them,change jobs if you must, especially if they are enjoying the attention you give them because it means they are using you to boost their ego and the hurt will be intensified FOR YOU. Don't hang around their friends in the hope of hearing what they are doing in their lives, it just keeps the pain alive.

Do what you must and DO IT FOR YOU. It may seem hard but in a few short weeks, they will start to fade from your memory and you will be happy again. Being in love with someone who does not or cannot love you is a hell you need to be free of and as soon as you put the aviodance plan into action the sooner you will be free to love someone who is free to love you- that is worth every ounce of the short term pain of separation. Good luck.

What are the signs that your ex is over you?

My friend this is not a very good question to ask. I can read into so many things into this little sentence. First of all she is your ex.. move on my friend there are Billions of women out there. It comes off very stalkerish you even wondering, it also speaks volumes about your self esteem and your ability to date... I take it you are a guy. too much to try to explain here but work on those areas. There is lots of great resources on the net to improve your dating skills.. not sure for women but one that is really helpful and free is seductionhalloffame.com/Forum Hope that has been of help I can appreciate how difficult it is to have someone break-up with you as I have been there and learned. Cheers
