Breakups

I'm only a teen, but I think what you should do is take it slow. Most likely, you hate him, but if he wants to see you, then see him. Only, do it in private. No matter how much you may hate his guts, just try to get to know him again. He may not hate you, he may even have regretted his desicion. Get to know him again and take it really slow. Just be friends.

What I would do is try to forget about him and you could do that by finding someone else you like better.

• I have deleted the first answer; the correct answer is below. There are legal implications with respect to engagement rings which potentially could cause trouble and monetary loss for those taking unqualified advice on legal matters.
• In Louisiana my information is that you cannot keep the ring if the engagement is broken. The only way that you can keep it is if he chooses not to get it back upon the termination of your relationship, or if you do get married (but that gets complicated). Legally, you are required to immediately give the ring, or its monetary equivalent, back in the event that the person who gave it to you requests that it be returned. In all US states except Montana, an engagement ring is considered to be a "conditional" gift, where the conditions of the gift are not met until the marriage is completed. Therefore, once the chance that marriage will occur has been nullified (you break up or call off the engagement) then, upon request, the ring must immediately be given back to the person who initially purchased and gave it as a gift. Some states do have laws regarding who broke off the engagement and/or why, which can affect whether the ring recipient must return the ring, but that is rare, and is not the case in Louisiana. So, give it back if you are asked to do so, otherwise you could end up paying court fees and still end up giving it back in the end.

The previous answer was so ridiculous and childish, I had to just delete it completely. The short answer to this is that he is either bored and/or lonely, and he thinks he can get what he wants from you with minimal effort. Unfortunately, this is almost always true. Whether it was a previous girlfriend, or you, who let this behavior develop, the fact of the matter is that he now sees you as recyclable. He can throw you away when he's done with you and then pick you up when he wants to use you again. Not all guys do this, but the ones that do, they do it because they believe they can get away with it. The real question is, do you take him back each time and how do you feel after he leaves? Real relationships don't strengthen with the yo-yo effect, so unless you are completely okay with on-again/off-again relationships, end it now while you can, if at least for yourself. Saying no can be difficult, but you will feel much better about it later on.

Whenever you feel ready to. If you still have feelings for your ex, then you should maybe address these issues first and then make a clean break. If you have already done that, the only reason you must be asking that question is because you are bothered what your ex might think. Will it make you happy to start a new relationship? I dont think you have got your head around the fact that you no longer have to take your exes opinion into account. If you are still in touch with your ex, because of children, for instance, it would be wrong to parade your new interest around in their face, but let them know that you are seeing someone and you are happy.

I think after a separation and divorce it is important that you take this rare chance to get to know who you are and what you want out of life. Don't be in too big a hurry. It's fine to date a few months after a separation, but be sure the person you are dating understands that there are no promises of a relationship at this time.

When you stil feel that empty, cruddy hole in your gut or heart, you should take a little more time out for yourself to mend. That way you won't make a mistake or rebound.

There isn't any rule on time frames...it really depends on how confident you feel going back out there and meeting new people again.

Your first date after a divorce or separation will be a rebound relationship as you will still be searching for the same characteristics you were used too. Try not to fall into that trap because you don't want to be with someone similar to the one you left. You will shortly find yourself again and know what you are looking for in a man/woman.

It depends. If you were "alone" for a good period of time, mentally/physically or in other ways while in a relationship, than you are ready anytime after you get out. You have had your 'alone' time. However, if you jump from one relationship to a new one (without mental/emotional time apart)...then it might be too soon. The answer...have SOME time alone.

If you need a rule of thumb as regards time after divorce, it is to be alone for one year for each four you were married. This gives you time to become self sufficient and to get back to the real you.

Answer

If you are going to break up with someone first let me tell you that it's not easy, but that being said, all you have to do in a nice way is tell the person involved that you aren't interested in seeing them anymore and that you feel they should see someone else as well. That whatever the two of you once shared is over.

It means she doesn't like you enough to see you as much as you want to see her, hence, she "wants space;" however, she would like to use you whenever she feels lonely, then she "misses talking to you."

Well,that's the thing though she told me she wanted to be alone for awhile and asked for space she said before that everytime i talk to her she couldn't take it anymore cause i annoyed her that the reason she asked for space.so im asking y would she say something like that even though she wanted kept asking for space in the first place????

Maybe its not the talking she misses.she probly misses you and is probly feeling bad for herself and so she just said that so she can hide her feelings she has for you.I kinda seen stuff like this they ask for space and then in a few days or so they find out that they already regret doing and so they feel bad.yea i think its that im not really sure but i hope its goes well.

i totally disagree with the person who answered 1st. im thinking of doing he same thing, but not cuz i don't like the guy, because i don't think i know him well enoughfor him to be showing me so much attention. i want to get to know him but slowly. thers absolutely nothing wrong with him and i think hes really cute and nice, but he says hey and looks at me EVERY TIME i see him. he just needs to go slower. since she said she misses talking to you, obviously she didnt want space cuz she thought something was wrong w/ you. she still wants to talk with you. you probably backed off too much. just go slowly with her, she sounds like a very smart girl who has her head on straight. shes got more morals that tell her she needs to know you better before getting involved in a relationship.

take a deep breath. are you with me? she's not breaking up with you. she still loves you and wants to be with you. she needs space. no calls, no text, no letters, no emails. it's going to be hell on your senses, but she needs her space. let her breath. she'll be back. she'll miss you. if you're still there and you're still cool with her (that means not degrading or accusatory. abusive. whatever) then everything will be fine. think of your family and friends. if you get tired of being around them you feel boxed in. you give each other space to breath and grow. you don't cling to them and say "what? what's going on? don't go!" just chill. everything will be fine. keep living your days. read. go biking. disc golf. thumb wrestle. i don't know. just be cool and be yourself. everthing is fine, there's nothing wrong and she's not going to leave you. she just needs space to breath. put your hands in the air, take 2 steps back, and let her be.

well, first of all, you need to know that it wasn't really good at looking at your husband's phone, because you should've trusted him more. But, on the other hand, your husband shouldn't be hiding these things to you, but one question though "did he say yes on the relationship with the other women?" if it's no, talk it out to your husband, calmly, but if you see him lying or making it up, you're best without him. if the answer is yes, and i know it might hurt because you love him and you didn't actually think he'll be cheating on you, but your best opinion is to leave him and start fresh. and if your angry at the other women, just keep thinking that she was that desperate to feel "in love" that she'll take someone else's husband, i mean that's really pathetic if you ask me. ;)

To be honest time is what it's going to take to get over him I know what you're going through me and my ex have been broken up for over a year and we were together four years and we still have mad love for each other we are in the process of trying to get back together so I guess what I really should tell you is if you love him and you really love him and you feel like you gotta chance take it you may never stop thinking about him but for the time being maybe you should try to talk to someone else or just get out and mingle with other people to help you get over your ex but really it's going to take time time heals all things and prayer does too!!

The first thing you must do is avoid him. Once your brain is not getting input and feedback on him, pretty soon it will find other avenues to channel its energy. If you don't see, talk or ask anyone about him you will become bored of going over the same old things in your head. But if you continue to hang on it will just drag it out.Also get out and meet men. That's another way to replace the thoughts of him. I think it takes about 6 months then your over the worst then after that it dwindles quicker and quicker to indifference.

Either something went undone in that relationship or something is lacking in this one. To be a happily married woman and think about past relationships is normal but to miss an ex to the point where you are constantly thinking about an ex, then some underlying issue is a foot.

If this is an ex-girlfriend, you may have already breeched the "L" word during you previous relationship with her. If this is the case the words usually aren't that dificult to say. That is.... if the relationship ended amicably.

If you had a relationship that didn't involve the "L" word, that's another ball of wax! Some times the reason for break-ups is because one party couldn't make a commitment big enough for "I love you", but you felt comfortable with the person you were with. This is usually the case and the party yerning to hear those words just got resigned to the idea that you were never going to take it to the next level.

If you truly love her, and the situation isn't complicated with her beeing with another, just say it. Your previous relationship should have had the stability for her to accept your love this time around.

A broken family is when your parents have broken up. This is a painful decision for kids; Who do you want to live with, Will you ever see your mother or father (depending on who you chose to live with) again and other painful questions like that.

Sincerity and honesty. You broke the trust previously, so it's what it takes to win it back. You need to really want it back.l First, ask yourself, why do you want to mend it? Does this person mean so much to you that you don't want to move on? If the relationship means alot to you, (I presume it means alot to the other person too, because true love is felt by both parties. But since truat has been betrayed, a block of forgiveness might be present such that the other person might not wish to let their feelings reign, as they might yet again get hurt. So, I believe take it slowly, show them that you made a mistake, and regret it. If you're sincere, and the other person still loves you, you're heading the right way.

He just broke up with someone and you could give him some time as you don't want to be a rebound however, you could just let him know that your interested in him and see how things go. If you find he is interested take things slow as he did just break up with someone.

I think in most cases guys like girls who are cute, fun to be with, outgoing, and return their affections. The fact that they may be Asian or any other race or culture has little to do with it.

Yes you should definetely break up with her.

If you realize that you are not in love with a girl anymore save both you and her a lot of wasted time, energy and heartache.

The sooner the better- It's painful but in the long run it is the nicer more moral thing to do.

* It's best to contact the ex to ask if they can come over to get their personal affects and if they refuse or give a time to do so and not be there when the person gets there then the police can escort the person to the exes house to get their personal affects.

Until you can figure out why you broke up with your girlfriend then do her a favor and stay away from her. You have some serious soul searching to do. Hate to commit? Want your cake and eat it too? Doesn't work that way. Unless you can be loyal, love her with all your heart, be good to her, have fun together and share, not to mention good communication skills then you are too immature to have a serious relationship.

it could make your relationship diffrent but if you are a teen and you want them to be in your life later odds are you wont get married and when you broke up you couldn't be good friends with them. but if they ask you out and you say no that could get your relationship messed up too so it is all up to you.
