Thank you all for answering. @joypulv, volunteer. She wanted a free lawyer to defend her in out of town criminal cases which she said were orchestrated by the town mayor with whom she had a previous...

I was asked by a politician to look for a lawyer to help a local constituent (LC) from out of town. I spoke with the LC on the phone and said that we'll try to help. The LC probably thought that I...

Yes, you probably are not thinking straight at this time. Your feelings are overriding you. Don't allow it. It's good that you are somewhat aware of this.

If you continue with this, nothing...

Thanks! You're very kind.

Oh, I've blocked and deleted him in all my accounts - skype, YM, Facebook, etc. I've also stopped looking him up in the social networks and the internet.

But he's still able to send me emails,...

I feel a lot better now. Time, the expression of grief, and your valuable insights and other learnings have done me a lot of good. Thank you all.

I've been NC with him for almost four months...

Thanks. I've obviously hit a slump. I have to admit though that there have been better days. The past couple of days have just been difficult as the feelings started to come back again and take...

The tangled knot is still a big mess of a knot. It still hurts. It's terrible. It's as if I am stuck in a cycle of heartbreak and it's killing me. With effort, I get better for a while and then I...

Coward. You kind of remind me of my ex. Sorry, I digress...

I want to save both of us from the mistake my parents made and a mistake she made because she was desperate to get married for her...

The desire to have a special someone or to marry the one and live happily ever after is a consequence of the myth of romantic love. It doesn't exist or at the very least, it doesn't last forever. ...

In response to kaka67 and to be more precise, it is homosexual behavior or the homosexual lifestyle that is considered a sin, not homosexual desires per se according to Christianity.

I think I know where you're coming from. I too live in a very religious community and was raised a Christian.

Excon phrased your issue truthfully and succinctly. But I understand that it's not...

I think you probably read too many fairytales when you were a kid and believed in happily ever after. And maybe it was made worse by the media and all those hollywood movies that promote the same...

Tell her how you feel and what you want. Be honest. No more playing games.

If she agrees to have you, well then good. Start on a clean slate.

If she doesn't agree to be with you, then just...

If you're confused, then you have to find out the real score between the two of you. Did you really break-up? Were you both serious and decided that the two of you should go your own separate ways?...

I empathize with your plight. I agree that it's such a difficult situation to be in and I think it's good that you're taking time out to figure it all out. Get to know yourself very well first...

I doubt if it's love. It's more like infatuation, feelings of admiration for your friend. Though it can be very powerful. It can even be enough to make you want to sexually express it, especially...

Etcetera may include other literary works like novels, poems, speeches, radio broadcasts, and other stuff like that. Maybe life-changing is too strong a description. Influential may be better or...

What are the top three books, movies, songs, etc. (on personal growth) that have changed your life?

Action speaks louder than words. She's with someone else, and yet she says she loves you and cares for you?! It just doesn't make sense. Believe her actions, not her words.

In M. Scott Peck's The Road Less Traveled, he said that romantic feelings have been high wired in our brains to make us want to have intimate relationships in order to hoodwink or trap us into...

Given your situation, I think you're asking the wrong question. You have violated so many rules already. It's a bad mess to be in. It's called adultery. Nothing good will ever come out of it.

...

Thank you all for responding! I read and re-read all of your advice and you have all given me the needed strength in this difficult time of heartbreak. It's good to hear from different...

Thank you for reaching out to me. I really appreciate it.

Three months ago, I found out that the man I'm in love with got married already. We had been together for about two and a half years. We were so in love when we were together. More than half of...
