How long should you wait to get back with an ex?

It all depends on the situation. If he's worth it, be very careful and play your cards right. If your serious about getting someone back, you have to give it the time/space and attention it needs. Think it out first so you don't do anything dumb. Don't rush it, don't badger him and don't plead, it's very unattractive and needy. I am in the same situation and I know it's going to probably take 2 years before I can approach it again. He's Mr. Right for me though so I am willing to do what I have too for now and will try again when the time is right. My guy needed his space, space to sow his wild oats or he wouldn't be good for me or anyone else for that matter until he did. He married the only woman he ever dated so I was the first one after his 18 year relationship/marriage with her. He says he still loves me and that he can't weigh me out for the future. I guess that's what gives me hope. He also told me he's very attracted to me and that he fell harder and faster for me than his wife. So there's always hope.........no matter what anyone else tells you. When you think the time is right. For whatever the reason was that you two broke up in the first place, just make sure that, that person won't do whatever they did again. I guess it always depends on the situation. I hope things go well for you though. Think it over, and follow your heart!

Should you break up with your boyfriend if he cheats?

no girl/woman needs that kind of nonsense. cus if he really loved you he wouldn't have cheated on you in the first place!!!! and even if he says oh he's sorry he won't ever do that again.. obviously he is not EVER worth your time... any way theres a ton of fine young men in this world and way better men that deserve a a trustful woman! Don't EVER stay with a man that only wants you for sex or is just using you!! they are not worth it!! I have been there and I finally realized i can make it on my own if i had too. But I have met a wonderful man that treats me like EVERY woman should be treated... so find your self a new man.. But please... Leave him.. It's not a small world!

How to get over someone?

The best way to get over someone after a breakup is to let yourself grieve - give yourself permission to feel bad for a week or month or however long you need. Then, do something like a positive thinking exercise:

  • Write down all the pros and cons of that partner - list why you liked them in the first place and what made you break up with them
  • Write down all of your good qualities and bad qualities - list what you can give to a new relationship
  • Write down a list of the Top 10 things you are going to look for in a new partner - if you find someone who has more than 5 things on your list, you should think seriously about asking them out!

Don't let yourself grieve too long though because depending on how bad it is people will think that you are depressed. Don't let yourself dwell on the past to long. Don't let one person set you back. No matter what you are beautiful/ handsome and deserve the best and if someone breaks up with you then they obviously aren't the best for you.

Can a 7 year old boy get a 13 year old girl pregnant?

How do you find out if boyfriend is narcissist?

Time will tellThe N may interchange the women he relates to at alarming frequency... but never ever will he change himself. he can fake being nice for only so long. about 6 months tops. Then either she will leave him or she will loose herself to keep him. Trust me he is only with her to make himself look better. Status, money, sex or an ornament hanging off his arm. Either way you are better off without him. AnswerUnless someone is diagnosed with this by a professional then one may never know. Someone being egotistical, a perfections, selfish can certainly fit into the characteristics of being a Narcissist, but it doesn't necessarily make them one.

Go onto: www.Google.com

Type in: What are the characteristics of a Narcissist?

other disordersyes many other disorders and conditions can mimic narcissism. Borderline and Anti-social personality disorders which are in the same "B cluster" of disorders outlined in the DSM. Also narcissists display traits of schizoid, obssesive-complsive and bipolar disorders. It is not unusual for a narcissist to have eating disorders or addictions to sex, gambling, drugs etc.. I do know a diagnosed sexual addict who is not a narcissist. He displayed considerable remorse over his problem and was empathatic to others and had normal social skills.

In any case, it is allways best to get a professional diagnoses if at all possible. Unfortuantely the very nature of many disorders preclude these individuals from seeking help in the first place... and thus obtain an accurate diagnoses. Many cases a victim of narcissism might obtain a "diagnoses" about the absent partner from their own therapist that they are likely dealing with a narcissist.

Sadly one does not usually recognize he/she has dealt with an N until after the damage has been done. The charm, lies, confabulations, manipulations, lies, deceit, cruelty, humiliation, lies, backstabbing, betrayal and all the lies. Oh, did i mention the lies?

What do you do if your girlfriend says we need to talk?

  • 'We need to talk' coming from a woman of any age to a man strikes fear into the strongest of men because women are unpredictable and the man involved may not know if he is going to be blind sided about something he was not aware he did wrong (if anything.) Women are more perceptive to emotions in themselves and their boyfriends so she may feel there is something wrong in the relationship that both of you need to work on or she could have done something wrong herself and regrets it, but wants to be honest with you, but there is also the risk that she may break up with you and all you can do is take a deep breath and meet with with her to discuss whatever it is she has to say. Remember, you have a right to put your two cents worth in as well.

Love all the girls who dont love men who break up with them

Another Answer:

Time is your friend. You must ignore the ex's efforts, not respond at all. Time will either make him give up and go away or will expose that there's something wrong with him. If that's the case, you need to find professional advice and information on stalking. Stalkers are dangerous and you can't deal with them on your own. Hopefully, he's just not mature enough to know that it's over. As long as you know is all you need to care about.

How do you let someone go that isn't good for you even though you really love that person and they love you but you're not happy and you know you will never be happy with that person?

Think of this: everything happens for a reason. Just because you have to physically let them go, doesnt mean you have to let them go emotionally. Consider it a blessing that this person was in your life. Don't think of the bad times, think of the good times and smile. Be happy that you were able to be a part of this persons life. Offer to be their friend, and let them know that you will always be there for them if they need it. Life doesnt ever throw things your way that you cannot overcome. Some obsticles may be harder and i truly feel that if you love something enough, set it free. If it comes back it was meant to be, and if it doesnt, dont spend your life wallowing over something that wasnt meant to be. Hold your head up high. It sounds easier said than done, but trust me. It's the right thing, and everything comes in time. Don't force yourself to do something your not ready to. You will let go. See all the beautiful things in yourself, and reach for the stars Run as far away with it as you possibly can. And if you ever find yourself down, think about how far you've come and it's all because you took it and ran with it. The inly thing in this world that is going to carry you is YOU.. Maybe one day the person will open there eyes and see what they lost. If that's the story, then youre better that that. If someone really cares for you, they will be back, no matter how long it takes. This should be the perfect time for the both of you to figure out exactly what you want in life. Me and my ex fiance seemed meant to be. We were perfect for eachother. He let me go, i came back. I wish i could say the same for him. Its hard to let someone go that you want to be with, but it just won't happen. I am 21 years old. The advice im giving to you comes from the heart. Its something that took me a while to figure out on my own. Dont worry and dont be scared. Theres always someone out there going thru the same thing. One day in time, you will figure it out for yourself. You may get over it physically, but emotionally may take a while. Always listen to your heart. Its the one thing that will never fail you. If in your heart you fell its meant to be, persue it, dont be pushy, just let time take care of it. It always has a funny way of working out in your favor. Best of luck to you. Follow your heart and it will lead you to your destiny!!!

How do you say goodbye after divorce?

By wanting to say goodbye, I am assuming you didn't really want the divorce to begin with. Without knowing the circumstances surrounding the divorce, all I know to tell you is just let go. Wish the best for them and pursue the best for yourself.

What do you do you want your ex boyfriend back really badly and you think that he still likes you his friends keep telling you they think he misses you but he wont even talk to you what can you do?

You probably miss him because you are in the rebound stage, ..you are lonely and miserable and going back to the past seems like the best option in the world. lots of people take it only to go through the same cycle again and again. Don't worry about this, move on in life, spend time doing things you haven't done before,spend more time with your friends and activities. sooner or later you'll find someone as good or even better

Can You Still Be True Friends With An Ex?

Why does my boyfriend get angry when I'm talking to my ex?

You should sit down with your boyfriend and let him know how this makes you feel as well as why he is even speaking with her leisurely to begin with. If he does not like the idea of not talking to her you are going to have to decide if you are going to continue this relationship as he is not going to change then. You deserve better and if he respects you he will stop speaking with her especially concerning your relationship with him. You have to be aware though if he does consider to stop speaking with her make sure he is not hiding it and just telling you what you want to here to avoid arguments and losing you both.

How do you know if you are still in love with someone?

This is truly a hard question to answer. When all of us first meet that special someone rockets go off, we can hardly wait to see that person and life is one big bowl of cherries. After a few months to a few years you get to know each other quite well, and sometimes we can be bored with each other. That's why relationships (married or not) can be so difficult ... we have to keep things different and exciting to a point.) We have to give each other head space to do some things with friends or on our own.

We all get bored with family, friends, our jobs, or even ourselves. If you're bored do something about it and talk to her and both of you can surely come up with an idea of making your relationship a little more exciting. There is just more than sex that's important ... there is a whole wide world out there and much to do and see.

Please don't make the mistake of a little boredom messing up a great relationship. I suggest you go on a vacation or on a 2 weeks holiday with male friends and have a blast. This will usually let you know how much you really miss that person.

I've been married for a long time so you have to work triple duty to keep that marriage peaceful, exciting to a point and have fun. Doesn't mean I don't love my husband. We've managed and we've had a good fun ride through life, but also weathered some difficult storms. There is nothing greater than sharing your life with someone because of the tough times out in this world. Your friends or family can't possibly fill that last little bit of a hole in your heart and soul ... it takes someone you love.

Think about that vacation and do while you are on it, it's time you brought out the heavy guns and were honest with yourself about why you are bored. It's just not up to her to keep you entertained, it takes two. Be fair to her and if, after the vacation you have come to the conclusion that you are not suited to each other then you are going to have to communicate this to her.

Why is your ex-fiance being mean after your separation?

short answer: Cause he's your ex. more? He is likely still hurt and/or angry at you and lashing out so you will hurt too. He's maybe still emotional about the crap that made you break up in the first place. He may be pushing you away because it hurts too much to be around you or he's ready to move on and is trying to tell you to leave him alone. Maybe he just wants some time to think things over without you around. my advice is spend less time wondering why everything is no longer peachy and more time getting on with your life without him. Move on. Tell him if you want him back or if you wanna be friends then leave him alone and see what happens. But don't wait around pining, you're probably wasting your time.

What should you do if your girlfriend all of a sudden wants to take a break?

Ever watch Friends? So do you want to break up? If not, then accept the break and ask her how long she wants a break for and what a break means? Does it mean date other people? Does it mean stop all communication for a period of time? Clarify everything. If you would rather break up, then do it. Tell her you would rather not be put on hold and just break up. Another thing: if she is doing this it may be a sign that something is bothering her that she cannot discuss because she's uncomfortable with it, unsure about it, afraid of it, etc... It is possible that she still likes you in this case and simply does not know how to fix the problem so she decides to avoid it instead by taking a break so that the relationship can survive while her issue(s) go away. To check for this ask her if anything is wrong. Do some reflection and see if you can guess the issues she may have yourself. See if you have similar issues. Bring them up first and see if there can be a HEART TO HEART relationship saving conversation instead of a break up. Unfortunately, this always means the relationship is on very thin ice. Toe the line. Give her space if she needs it. 90% of men force a relationship to end by doing TOO MUCH when the girl is needing SPACE, because it is a male instinct to try harder if something isn't working... Last thing-she isn't the last girl of her quality...so if it fails then remind yourself another will come along and that every guy goes through this kind of thing many times. It's a part of life.

What does it mean you have dreams about your ex?

your subconsious mind still thinks about her,and in the very end of your heart you still want her/him. your subconsious mind still thinks about her,and in the very end of your heart you still want her/him.

How can you annoy your ex?

One may say play hard to get. But a more realistic mindset would be not only to move on but improve your own life. Not that's anything bad right now but a new attitude...new outlook on life etc. I know it can be hard but don't let THEM know if your miserable or sad. Omg I sound like my parents & Oprah!

What does it mean when you dream that your boyfriend is laying down with another girl in your bed then you walk in and he breaks up with you?

  • The subconscious mind can pick up strange things and you may have been worried your boyfriend may cheat on you or heard one of your girlfriend's boyfriends cheated on her. When people go to sleep they often go into REM sleep (eyes roll side to side and they are in a deep sleep) and human's dream every half hour in order for the body to relieve the stress of the day so seconds before they wake if they have been worried about something they may remember a dream they had. If you are worried your boyfriend could cheat just tell him about your dream. Don't let a dream make you fear your boyfriend is cheating as it will only cause problems, but if you feel his actions make him look like he could be cheating then you need to sit down and talk to him.

What is the easiest way to break two people up?

If these people are hurting each other and that's why you want them to split, then it will happen without anyones help.but if your just looking to get with one of these people then follow this persons advice below.also just think about how you would feel if you were with someone and really cared about even loved this person, only to break up over a stupid lie?

AnswerIf you are thinking of doing so then I suggest you rethink this. Lying about one or the other usually does it (but wouldn't always count on that if the two people really love each other) and, if you should be successful I have a bulletin blast for you ... THE HEAD OF THE SNAKE ALWAYS TURNS AROUND AND BITES YOU IN THE BUTT! Which simply means that people will catch on to you, your reputation is ruined or .... (I love this one the best) someone does it to you!

I think you shoud honestly consider why you are trying to break them up. If it's because you want to be with one of the people in the relationship, the you should just tell the person. If it's because theyr'e not being a good friend you should confront them. It's better to tell your friend than to try and make them break up. If that doesn't work, you should just stop talking to them and go be friends with someone else. When your friend breaks up with their boyfriend/girlfriend, they will come crawling back you and your other friends.
