Hi,
My Dad passed away in January after a long illness. Mom and he were married for over 43 years. I have never experienced grief the way I have over the last few years during the illness. I don't...

Hi,
My father passed away on New Years Day after battling ALS for almost 3 years. In that time, my mother and I took care of him at home. Despite watching him suffer through the disease, and knowing...

It may not qualify as 'cheating' persay... YET..
However this can be a thin ice situation as it very well has the potential of skating very close towards emotional cheating (I just ended a 5 yr...

Ok, so I’m in the last stages of building a bridge and getting over it. I’ve gone over 6 months without seeing my ex, with only very minimal occasional msn contact. We’re both at the point of dating...

Hi Janet-
I can kind of relate to where you are coming from (feel free to check out some of my threads from a few months ago). I think it's important for people not to jump to judgement calls here...

I appreciate that answer wondergirl- but I'm only maybe 2 months into this with him and have never experienced this kind of behaviour before!
I just wanted people's opinions that may have seen this...

THANK YOU! You nailed it here.. I looked up passive aggressive personalities and he shows several of these signs... Passive-Aggressive Traits...

Thanks everyone- now to add a bit more:
We met a couple of years ago with work, and stayed in touch via internet for a year and a bit. There were a few things that flagged me from the get go (would...

Hi Everyone,
I have a question.. I've recently started seeing a guy who seemed great. He's nice, attentive, mannerly, very affectionate.. however in the last few weeks I've been noticing some things...

Sometimes, something has happened within the course of the relationship that one person (the person that still believes it can work) is in denial of being able to see or fully understand; and the...

You love this woman- what is holding you back? Have you looked within yourself and asked yourself the bigger questions: Do you have a fear of intimacy? Of commitment? Did something happen in your...

Hi all,
I just was reading a thread on here regarding a jealous boyfriend... which made me have some of my own thoughts.
Let's have a discussion regarding our view points on 'good' vs. 'bad'...

Hi all- I'm back. This is more of a venting/ frustration/ just had to get out of my head for a moment of support..
I'm SO TIRED OF being inside my head. I am going over and OVER my ex and the way...

Hi Everyone,
I've recently written a post a few weeks back about trying to move on from the breakup of a 5 yr relationship in the midst of dealing with a family health crisis.

My emotions are...

What's funny (in a weird, not so ha-ha way) is that you feel like you're going through a divorce, when you weren't even married! What I find so ironic about this, at least in my case, is that the...

Hi Trying,
This is no less that hellish to go through- my boyfriend and I (together for 5 yrs, lived together for 4), just broke up and had to sell our home between Oct- Dec.
I say Oct- Dec...

I'm sorry Kev- I hear what you're saying and I understand the emotional drama that you're going through.

I just wonder, and I know it's difficult to hear- but is it possible she's not replying to...

"How does that work exactly? Are we gonna talk on the phone about her new man that she gets eventually? When she does get a new boyfriend are we gonna meet for inappropriate lunches or dinners? On...

Oh- and btw: one more question:

I think it's partly due to dumpers guilt, but partly because I truly appreciate the friendship that we shared together: my ex is still in pretty constant contact...

I will indeed talk to Mom this evening, actually.. I usually go over there to help out with Dad after work. Last night Mom and Dad and I started to get into this conversation, actually, and Dad...

SORRY! In my above posts I meant to address both 'Ka1' and 'Someone'

Oh- I just wanted to add one more thing.

I have a pretty good example of a strong, weathered relationship: my parents have been married for over 41 years, and even in this time of difficulty, my...

I really appreciate the time and attention that you all are offering me. It does help to approach things with an unbiased, outside opinion, and I'm grateful that you all are offering me thoughtful...

Hi Everyone,
It's my first post here and I've been playing things in my head for so long, I thought I'd just get it out there.. at the risk of getting eaten alive by the cyber world, I thought it'd...
