Even if you aren't having an outbreak(a cold sore) it is still possible to spread it to her

So I was just reading in another thread about the honeymoon stage, and it got me to thinking about my own relationship. Do you think the honeymoon stage lasts longer or shorter in a long distance...

Hi again everyone,
I've sorted things out with my boyfriend and I'm feeling really good about the whole relationship. Now my concern is that I'm becoming too dependent on the relationship. I...

I tend to be a firm believer that relationships with exes isn't really appropriate. I know a lot of people disagree. Why risk the chance of maybe stirring up old feelings. Your current boyfriend...

Oh, and Jbeau, I definitely accept the fact that this is my issue. I don't try to blame it on him at all. I'm feeling good about it today because we talked about it last night, I'll just try to...

As far as how I feel about his past? I see a therapist at school occasionally. She's asked me why I get so upset about it, and if there's something that triggers it. I think I get so upset about...

Our relationship is progressing well. We don't talk about his past very often. He does try to reassure me when it comes up though. I was hoping it would get better, but it just seems to be getting...

I know this is an old thread, but I kind of wanted to update and start a new discussion.. I'm still with this boyfriend. We visit each other once a month. We talk every day on the phone, and...

I'm trying to be open with this boyfriend. I told him it makes me uncomfortable and he said well do you want me to stop talking to them? I told him I didn't want to tell him what to do, just how I...

Is it possible to find a significant other that doesn't have regular contact with people from their past? All my boyfriend's have remained in contact with at least some of their exes/hookups....

Thank you so much for all the responses. All my friends have been saying to break up with him because they don't believe he is capable of changing. All of these responses have made me feel so much...

Yet another update to my new relationship...

I found out that my boyfriend lied to me about his past. He told me he had cheated on his ex girlfriend only one time. A mutual friend of ours told...

You don't need or deserve this kind of treatment. First relationships are for learning what you do and don't want in a relationship. Leave this guy and chalk it up to a learning experience.

I'd just like to add that most guys you date are going to look at porn. Most of my friends are guys and I know they all look at porn. I've known that all my boyfriends look at porn, even when we're...

Yeah both my boyfriends lied to me and betrayed my trust, so I'm sure it must partly stem from that. I think you're right that he needs to earn my trust... I just hate the feeling of being so...

Heh I've been seeing a therapist for over a year now... I thought I had overcome the feelings of jealousy, but for some reason they are really showing up right now! Maybe I will look into some self...

Does trust develop in a relationship, or does it have to be there from the beginning? I'm currently in my 3rd "real" relationship. I was with my last 2 boyfriends for 2 - 3 years each and I never...

I don't think you should stay in any relationship you aren't happy in.. regardless of whether there is someone else involved.

Yeah, even though he said that, it seems like he was getting more into after that. It was his idea to go camping afterwards. And why would he tell me that he loves me after that?

I met this guy at college a little over 3 months ago. We really hit it off and hung out just about every day and night for the 3 months. The only problem is that he knew he was leaving for grad...

I think I may get too attached to guys at the beginning of relationships. I was single for about a year, and feeling really independent. About a month ago I met this new guy and we started hanging...

Definitely make a list! It really helps. Sometimes you start to forget why you broke up with someone. But I KNOW there are reasons you broke up with this guy! You just need to keep reminding...

You have to trust yourself and what you did. You broke up with him for a reason. Try to remind yourself of the things you didn't like about him and why you broke up with him. It sounds like you...

It's been over a year now and my ex still has a pretty big effect on my emotions. He broke up with me over a year ago, and I didn't talk to him for 7 months. He kept trying to contact me, and I...

Bravo to you for following through with what you think is right! You've got a good head on your shoulders!

I'd say don't jump to conclusions either... but trust is one of the most important aspects of a relationship. My opinion is that if you are unable to trust someone, you shouldn't be with them.

Facebook and Myspace were the WORST after my boyfriend broke up with me. He immediately got in a new relationship too. Do yourself a favor and don't look. If you're feeling tempted just come here...

This is the best decision you could have made. You don't deserve someone who compares you to their exes and is always coming up with lame excuses for why he can't hang out. Good riddance to him,...

Well, I've been trying to work things out this past month or so. He just sends me so many mixed signals. For awhile he was just telling me how he wants to marry me, but now we haven't had a real...

Yeah, I just need to snap out of it. He just got my hopes up that everything was going to be okay again. I had a connection with him that I've never had with anyone in my life so it's really hard...

Hi again everyone! Some of you might remember me from about 9 months ago when my boyfriend broke up with me. I've come so far since then. I had no contact for about 7 months. He called and...

There's no "quick fix" for getting over someone. My boyfriend broke up with me 9 months ago and I still struggle with it every now and then. You just have to let time heal your wounds and work on...

Love it! Thanks so much for this. It helps me realize how far I've come : )

Thank you. Yeah I know deep down I just need to stay out of contact with him. Thank you for the reassurance!

Hi again everyone! I haven't been on here for quite awhile. I posted here awhile ago about my ex boyfriend who broke up with me almost 7 months ago. I kept trying to contact him until February...

Well, after 2 months of no contact, my ex decided to call me today to wish me a happy birthday. I didn't answer, but he left me a message that started just like old times. He was using his little...

Hi X-stream,
My boyfriend moved on after only a couple of weeks to a new girl. It crushed me too. Try to look at it in a good way though (I know that seems so hard) Think of it like now you...

You will get through it! I promise things will start to feel better. Try to catch up on your lost sleep. Treat yourself to at least 1 thing each day that makes you feel good. You deserve someone...

My ex got together with someone just a couple few weeks after we broke up. It was really devastating.. I think I pretty much had a total melt down. I took about three days off from school and...

I've been thinking a lot about unhealthy relationships lately. Looking back on my past relationship, I can now see all the things that were unhealthy about it. He was off giving other girls tons of...

Yeah, whenever I have a bad day I think to myself "well, it could be worse.." and then name something that I know someone else is going through! Focus on the positives in your life! I've found that...

I agree with yagita... if you are even questioning it right now, I'd take a step back. I'm sure most people on here will tell you that if you've only been dating for 8 months you probably shouldn't...

I'm having another one of those jealous filled days... Most of the frequenters here know that my boyfriend dumped me and quickly moved on to a new girl that he knew while him and I were together.
...

Let me start by saying I HATE myspace. Even though profiles are blocked, you can still see their default picture. I have this bad habit of checking up on my ex and his new GF on there. Nothing...

Yeah, I still can't listen to any of the music my ex used to listen to.. even if it's not about breaking up!

Haha that james blunt "goodbye my lover song" could not have come out at a worse time for me. Not only was it exactly how I felt, but my boyfriend had the nerve to call me one night and tell me it...

Good Answer Valinor. I agree that if you think the new guy has potential, back away for a little while. I'm going through the same thing right now. I met this really cool guy, but realized I was...

Yeah, I'm definitely thinking twice about trusting anyone EVER again. So my biggest fear is someone lying to me.

My ex told me he loved me, and thought he would never find someone he was more compatible with. 2 weeks later he's in a relationship with a coworker and they've got their pet names plastered all...

I still haven't talked to my ex, and I really never plan on it. Plus, he doesn't need me now.. he fell out of love with me in 2 weeks and is happy with his new GF. Freaking crazy guy if you ask me....
