You definitely don't want to be the fallback guy. You deserve someone who wants to make you number one. If she is flirting with the idea of going out with you while being conflicted about her ex, she...

I am not an Indian woman so unfortunately I don't have an accurate cultural perspective on the situation. I am sure you are deeply afraid of the consequences that would ensue if you were to tell your...

In this case she didn't do anything wrong because she told you right from the get go how she was confused about her feelings towards her ex. You should have taken this as an indication the first time...

You have to completely ignore him for now because if you don't, he will think this type of behaviour is acceptable and that he can bend you to liking him any way he pleases. You have to set...

First of all, you shouldn't be chasing another man who has a girlfriend no matter how dead that relationship may seem and no matter what his feelings may be towards you. If he has the courage to...

I think part of what you're saying is right... that not every guy is the way he appears when you first meet him. However, ask yourself the question, if he were so fabulous, then why do you still feel...

No problem. If you genuinely think that it has nothing to do with her feeling a shift in the relationship (or the long distance thing for that matter), then perhaps there is something greater the two...

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. Your girlfriend sounds like things are upsettingly off balance. She is probably outgrowing the relationship and feels like a different person as more time...

Good for you for standing up for your rights and morals as a woman! I know this was not an easy choice because you had invested so much time in him, but at least you value yourself enough to walk...

Do you think you could have him open up about his past without it resulting in a fight? I have a feeling that his insecurities, fears, jealousies, etc. are a result of a tragic and perhaps traumatic...

You're welcome. You sound like you're handling this really well. That's definitely something to be proud of! :)

And if you want to stay friends with her I think that's great. Even though you may...

Financial instability is one of the top reasons marriages result in divorce. So, count your blessings that you're not married to him yet and get out while you still have a chance. A man's job title,...

Yes, I agree. You don't want her to look at you as someone who didn't treat her well like her ex boyfriend. If you continue to use her past against her, she will feel like you're punishing her for...

What is your relationship with you're his ex and his parents? Because the way choose to response to this question is important to understanding the truth behind your reluctancy to marry him. If his...

Just keep your wits about you. Sometimes guys feel guilty about their interaction (whether innocent or not) with another female so they compensate by going above and beyond what is considered the...

Whether we like it or not, everyone comes with a past (good or bad). It comes with the package. If she is completely over him and unwilling to go back, then what is really the problem then? Take this...

Sounds like the only reason he's going back to you is because Michelle didn't work out and now you're his replacement. It's obvious he's just using you and unless you want to be treated like a...

No, you should definitely not feel compelled to justify yourself to him. By the sounds of it, you did nothing wrong through your actions. Bending backwards for him only makes you look pathetic and...

If something tells you it's not right to entertain such thoughts, then I would suggest you put an end to his flirting (if you think he's trying to get at something) by telling him you find it...

Maybe you're enjoying the attention because you're craving the same form of attention from your boyfriend whose time talking and seeing you is quite limited.

Sounds promising so far. I hope she is willing to put in the effort you deserve! Good luck!

You're very welcome. And yes, she's not the only girl out there for you. It might feel like she's the only one for you right now because she's the only one that's giving you attention and expressing...

I think it's better not to wait around for him, hoping that he will come to his senses and carry out his future plans with you. If you do and he doesn't change his mind, imagine how you'd feel then....

Although I gave you some insight about your own behaviour, I do agree with backpack 2389 that if this is a pattern of behaviour and he tends to react immaturely and irate at such small and...

Thanks. I hope I helped. It sounds to me that she is very confused about what she wants and perhaps she has never given herself the chance to figure it out because she's either been in a relationship...

Firstly, may I ask why you didn't want to hold his hand for the remainder of the movie? There must have been a solid reason for you doing so.

Secondly, I am not defending your boyfriend's...

The truth is no one really knows the final outcome. Being patient with her, for now, is the best thing you could do for her. If she knows exactly where you stand and she has a chance to reevaluate...

If she still has doubts about an ex, I say don't risk getting involved with her. It sounds like she has a track record for taking relationships too lightly and deep down inside, I know this is not...

Hi there,

I have to say I really commend you for standing up for yourself and doing things that bring out the best and not the worse in you. Feeling sorry for yourself never works when dealing...

I have never gone through this before but I think that if your heart and intuition tell you that you will regret letting her go, then you must fight to keep the spark alive. The combination of true...

This is a very tough decision for anyone to make. I can speak from personal experience because I just recently broke up with my boyfriend of 3 years. I thought of the good times as well as the bad...

Hi there,

I just meant I believe what you wrote. I just can't believe he didn't remember you. That's the part I don't buy! But I can see why you would question it. Hope that clarifies and sorry...

I suppose it depends if these 3 friends of yours still hang out with her. If not, then if the two of you decide to go out with one other, you could try to limit the amount of awkward encounters you...

You're just craving what you want but cannot have at the moment. But just because a great deal of time has passed and you miss that part of your life, it doesn't mean you should seek it. You are...

I don't buy this story. Of course he remembered you, regardless of his dating history. He was probably putting on a really good act and pretending not to remember you. Who initiated the breakup? You...

I think to avoid being hurt constantly, you will have to apply the NC rule to your situation. If you give him the chance to express his true feelings for you and his regret for how things panned out...

Yeah it sounds like she really wanted to make a go of it but unfortunately it wasn't working out for her no matter how hard she tried. I know it's hard not to hold out hope but you must resist....

No. I don't think you should ask this. She let you go as simple as that. Let whatever be, just be. If she wants you, she knows where to find you. Save yourself the heartbreak and headache of wanting...

No problem. :) I think this answers the real reason she broke up with you. It wasn't because of her busy career and future aspirations. It was because she was having a hard time getting over her...

This person sounds very rude and disrespectful in regards to your feelings. Not a real friend at all actually. Have you first expressed your concerns to your husband? If you're afraid maybe he will...

At least she didn't shut you down and is willing to have this heart-to-heart conversation with you. But to be honest, I think it would be wrong of you to go in with the frame of mind that you want to...

First of all I think your girlfriend set unrealistic expectations in the beginning of the relationship by saying you couldn't be in touch with your female friends. Our significant others have no...

How long have you two been dating? You may find the answers to your question to be different if you have been dating for a brief period or longterm. Also, is this the first time she has needed space?...

So I guess the question is, if you think you can go in there confidently with your head held high and no suspicions the outing will be awkward with her being there, then do you think you'll still be...

I definitely wouldn't contact the men that are without a doubt making complete fools of themselves. It will only make you look pathetic that you are angrily messaging them. Keep your dignity intact...

Just file for divorce. You don't need any more evidence to prove that he's cheating on you. Sometimes doing it the silent way is all the power you need.

You trust him now but that trust will only fade if you give in and hang out with his group of friends. It seems like a simple lose-lose scenario to me. I mean, let's say you hang out with his friends...

It is a very helpless feeling but you have to keep telling yourself you're doing the right thing-- not just for him but for you as well. Trust he is in good hands because he's being proactive about...

Yeah I agree with Talaniman. It is very difficult to be true friends with an ex and even if you move on to be with someone else, you will find yourself thinking from time to time, what would have...

Maybe develop a reward system for yourself every time you go a day without contact. Tell yourself positive affirmations that will help you see that what you're doing is only for the benefit of both...
