My boyfriend also lost his job. It has put a strain on our relationship, but I think we will survive. He's been depressed, and I don't know how to handle it, so I give him his space. Many people...

Taking a break from men isn't all that bad. You'll be able to have fun with your other close friends and family for the holidays.

It sounds like the pieces of your life are on the table and you are fitting them into the right places.

Although your relationship with this man isn't what you wanted, he seems like he truly...

I think you should wait until you are married before you mix your money. You don't need a joint account to save money now. It sounds like he has trouble saving money on his own.

A friends with benefit situation will work as long as both parties are not looking for anything more. I once knew a happy couple in that situation. He knew she was "not the one", but the benefit$...

I think your friendship is already ruined. 1. You are jealous of him dating someone else, it makes you sick and 2. You are afraid to date him because you don't want the hurt. So what is it about...

It sounds like you are beginning to accept your situation. There is no way you can understand why your boyfriend doesn't say "I love you" because you are not him. So rather than worry over things...

It sounds like your boyfriend really cares about you, but does not love you the way that would make you happy.

It sounds like a one-way relationship if you are the one saying you will do...

If you need to have a sexual attraction in your relationship, then I would say it's time for you to move on. Life is too short to wait for someone to change.

Your boyfriend seems like a very honest and caring person. I'm sure it wasn't easy for him to tell you how he feels, but he respected your feelings enough to do it.

I think that time away from...

I was suspicious of all of my boyfriends ex's, and jealous and upset when he would "meet up with them" when I wasn't around. But then I got a call from my ex and now the glaring eyes are on me. I...

I am not a lawyer, but I watch Judge Judy all the time. I think if you can prove that you did all you could to contact him to take his belongings and he doesn't, then he abandoned them and they are...

If you are not the type of person to pursue happiness at the expense of someone else, I suggest you find out for sure if his wife is happy or not. She might be happy, and then you will feel guilty...

My supervisor told me that my boyfriend had requested a transfer to be closer to me! He wanted to surprise me, but just in case he didn't get it, he didn't want me to be disappointed. I'm mad...

When I say "my experience" and "I think" I am stating my opinions. I'm sorry if you took them as a fact. I am not a psychologist and never claimed to be one. I work in an office with 3 men that...

Thanks Friend,
I am struggling with my responses to others because my own relationship fell apart. It's also hard to take in the responses from others because I somehow feel my situation is...

Rebecca,
I'm right there with you. It's been about a week for me, and although not as dramatic, I did get a phone call. So what do you do with a man that has realized he did wrong? I'm very...

It's my experience that insecure men have affairs. If you don't initiate sex, someone else will. I think you should play his game or lose him.

I can almost relate to this. I just broke up with my boyfriend and he had nothing to say. He never does. He doesn't like arguing because he thinks it won't change anything. It drives me nuts...

Justy, I have read so many of your posts knowing that this time would come for you. What I never would have guessed is that I would be following right behind you. Good luck, be strong.

Thanks everyone. I've realized that my boyfriend is selfish and probably a bit insecure. He likes female attention, and usually he gets it from me because we hung out together almost 24/7. Now...

I am taking my own advice and I recently broke up with my boyfriend. He's been unhappy with my long working hours and has been making me feel inadequate. I don't need him.

I'm doing OK. Sometimes love isn't enough.

I took a new job and I was spending less time with my boyfriend. I guess we were only stable when I could be with him all the time. If he needs a...

Funny how life sucks sometimes. I thought I had the perfect love, but I was in a dream world. The end of this story will have me visiting my family by myself, and my new ex- boyfriend will be free...

I have lived many many reruns of a similar situation. It doesn't sound like you two are passionate about each other anymore. You have to ask yourself if that is what you want for the rest of your...

It sounds like this man is very insecure. My take on this is that you are young and want a man-any man. This made him feel masculine, probably because his wife doesn't look at him with puppy-eyes. ...

It sounds like he does not respect you. If you stay with him, then you don't respect yourself either. You can love someone unconditionally and still keep your self-respect. Parents do it all the...

I think you are asking too much of your boyfriend. When he broke up with you because he was unhappy, what changed to get you back together? My guess is that you changed because you wanted him back....

I've always wanted a smart, educated, rich, tall, dark and handsome man. I found a lot of them over the years, and it seems like all the ones I dated were real jerks. So I let go of that high...

I would use the money to take care of numero uno. In my case that happens to be ME! I might share it on things we both want, but I won't just hand it over to him.

I thank god that I didn't get married to any of my ex boyfriends. I'm much happier in my current relationship.

Could the child be your ex's? It sounds like you got pregnant right after meeting your new boyfriend, but how long were you broken up from your ex at that time?

I wish someone had asked me this 10 years ago. Looking back at the guys I dated and wanted to marry, I'm glad it never happened. I wasn't really in love with them, I just wanted to get married. I...

It sounds like both of you are in denial of what the other person wants. You want a child before he gets a vasectomy, and he probably knows that you won't really leave him if he gets a vasectomy.

I would have to know more about why they broke up. He might not be over her, OR maybe she was perfect except for a few things that you have that she didn't.

My boyfriend said I reminded him of...

In reading these strings of posts from women that want men to marry them, I just have one piece of advice... just be happy with your partner!

It sounds like your man is keeping his two relationships separate. Most men can't multi-task the simplist of things, let alone relationships with two women at the same party.

I would say that...

Exactly! Finding the wrong partner is easy. The right person takes time. Many people would rather stay with the wrong partner than risk being alone.

It is my opinion that when two people truly...

In my relationship, I am the insecure one. Therefore, I can understand why your boyfriend would give you a two week notice after he finds out you've flirted with someone else.
I've left my...

I will be having a bit more thanks this Thanksgiving because the boyfriend and I are going away to visit family. I don't think his ex will be coming around now, but things could change.

You should tell the truth, but only if you believe it yourself. The fact that you broke up, and then got back together, and then broke up again sends a very clear message that you aren't sure what...

I've been down this road with one of his other ex's. When my relationship was new, I felt insecure and paranoid about the ex's. I am now more secure with my relationship, but I truly dislike being...

My boyfriend is dense when it comes to figuring out women. I'm sure he loves the attention that his ex's give him, but I don't think he'd ever get emotionally involved with them again. I guess I'll...

This is not the same one. The ex that had cancer died about a month ago.

He's told her that he is in a relationship. I overhear him talking about me when he's on the phone with her. My boyfriend was highly commitment phobic before he met me. His former relationships...

My boyfriend says that he loves me and would never do anything to ruin that. He said that he didn't tell his ex-GF to come visit him, so therefore he's not going to tell her not to come visit him. ...

Actually T-man, it's the other way around... she is newly single and is coming over here to see him.
What on earth is she thinking? I'm hoping she'll come to her senses. Just because she lost...

I trust my boyfriend wholeheartedly. I know he loves me and would never hurt me. It's the woman that I don't trust. My boyfriend is friends with all his ex's, and his friendliness is probably...

My boyfriend ran into one of his ex-girlfriends a while back. The story is, they dated for about a year. He moved to Hawaii for a job and she was supposed to quit her job and go with him, but...

I've heard many times that love is over-rated. So if you are happy living the good life without taking a risk with love, then you made the right choice. If you are not happy in your "good life"...
