Thanks for you replies. I have helped her with the children. I will sit at her house with them while she goes grocery shopping, etc. She has no problem getting her 7 year old boy in bed but the 3...

Hi.
I have a bit of a dilemma. I feel bad writing or even thinking about this but here goes:
I have been friends with my best friend for about 13 years. We are both just over 30 years old. My best...

Dreaming of your ex after a breakup is very normal. When my ex unexpectedly left me for another girl I was so hurt it was unbelievable. I dreamed of him a LOT probably the first 3 or 4 months after...

Exercise is a great way to feel better! I have been working out at least 3 to 4 times a week since my horrible breakup. It helps. It at least takes your mind off your problems for a while.

I love...

Those of us who have had our hearts broken can certainly relate to this one! Good read.

Breakups are hard. Being left for another person hurts a lot. I know. I have been through it. It can crush an already fragile self esteem. I'm sure that everything in your life seems worse because...

Maybe she just needed some time to realize her true feelings for you. You have been wanting her back since the breakup and she has come back to you, so I say go for it. Give it another try if that is...

You just need to be honest. Tell him exactly what you told us here... that you were on a break with him and were with someone else and you are not sure who the father is. You need to tell the other...

Yes, your ex living with another guy does seem like a hasty move-in situation to me too.

My ex informed me that he lives with another girl only 10 months after he broke up with me. It had not...

I think the answer to this question is that when you are dumped, yourself esteem plummets to nothing and you are not thinking clearly. You doubt your desirability and worry that you are unlovable....

Sorry to say, but your boyfriend has no respect for you and very likely no love for you. Are you actually a couple or is he someone you are "hooking up with" sexually where he doesn't consider the...

Congratulations on taking steps to improve your life Gem. It is kind of common for people, especially women, to develop crushes on their therapists because the therapist actually listens to them. But...

Sure, games may work on and off for a while, but ultimately your partner will see through you. The only "game" you need to play when you are in a relationship is to genuinely be happy, have high-self...

If a woman already has all the children that she wants and definitely doesn't want any more, then yes she would like that he had a vasectomy. If she is interested in having more, then no she wouldn't...

Just let it go. If someone says that they don't want to be in touch anymore for whatever reason, you should respect this decision. Don't push for this situation to continue because even though you...

I realize that you are feeling angry at your ex girlfriend and are venting, so even though I am female, I won't take your insults about "all females" personally. But I did want to say that your...

That is a personal decision for you to make. If you are 100% sure that you never want to have another child and even if some woman you may date or marry in the future would want one with you and you...

To add a thought to my post: I'm not putting you down for going there, McKenzie. It's just that when we are in the midst of hurting and wanting someone back, things seem like a good idea to us...

No, don't sit home. That's not what I am saying. Of course see your friends. Just go to a different club or restaurant or anywhere that she doesn't work. If they are good friends, they should...

Her post stated that she is a happy, successful, and married mom now.

Why did you take the new date to a place that you know your ex works at? Was it partially to to try to make your ex jealous? You said you don't want drama, but is seems to me if you were trying to...

Yes, but what about in a case where your ex specifically dumped you for another person and is now dating them? It seems like the things you mentioned would only work to give you hope if your ex left...

I read your question and I wasn't sure what to say in response because I didn't want to be the possible bearer of bad news if a breakup initiated by her may be in the near future. Maybe she really is...

Cincy, I don't think that I could ever have been considered a "stalker" by a long shot when my ex broke up with me (lol), but I wish that I had seen this article at the time of my last breakup....

You are welcome Clough. I especially liked the last few paragraphs that tells us why we should leave our exes alone when they break up with us and why it's best to not try the "friends" thing right...

I found this article on the web and it has some good advice that may help a lot of people here:

Getting Through a Breakup

One of the most difficult things about human emotions is that we cannot...

Well, first of all I hope that you didn't break up with your long distance girlfriend in hopes to get your ex back because from what you wrote it sounds as if she has made herself clear that the two...

Why are you so surprised that he has not contacted you during these two weeks when he clearly asked you for this time to think? You shouldn't even be expecting to hear from him yet. If after the two...

As with every rule, there must be an exception and you Jiser, just may be it. It sounds like your ex may be the one wanting you back. You may actually be closer to getting over her than you think...

Well one way to move past this faster is to stop with this "friends with the ex" business. Why do so many people insist on torturing themselves with this? Why? Because we want to be there and fresh...

Again, can you please explain why you broke up in the first place? What were the circumstances behind it and who initiated the breakup? You or him? This will help us to answer and give our opinions...

Can you fill us in on why you broke up in the first place? How did you treat him that you felt you must now apologize for it? Did you end the relationship or did he? I know that you have done what...

Is this a joke? Seriously Sypher, I think you already have already gotten a ton of opinions on here on the topic of continuing talking to her and doing what you continue to do. It seems as if the...

You are still in the early stages of trying to work all of this out and accept that's it's over it in your head. These conflicting emotions of being fine one minute and all upset the next are very...

So he's cheated on you, left you for another woman that he also got pregnant, moved her and her three other kids into an apartment that has your name on the lease and you want to wait for him and get...

All of the advice in the world does no good unless you want to take it and really try get over someone and help yourself. People tried to tell me the same things we are telling you when my ex and I...

To add to the great post that Momincali wrote, you are torturing yourself hoping for a reconciliation, bottom line. We all understand your pain and your hope of this. We all felt this way about our...

Well the dumpers aren't hurting and looking for answers to try to make sense of what has happened like we dumpees are. That's what brings us here... confusion and pain.

If you are sad that she threw away what you guys had together for something that may never happen (this other guy) that's her problem! Let her live with the consequences of her own decisions! It's...

I agree with LBP. As I mentioned on my other post I think that he needs to tell her that he still cares for her as more than friends and that keeping in touch as friends only is too difficult for...

I don't think that by not being her "friend" you are closing the door to a reconciliation if one were to happen. That is not what I am saying by "no contact" anyway. Can't you just be honest with her...

You are not going to get over her as long as you are stuck in hope of a reconciliation and are still talking to her. The fact that she made a point to remind you about the other person says that she...

Well Canadianbacon, I won't tell you that it has been easy because it hasn't. I'm not 100 % yet. I still miss my ex sometimes, I still regret the way things went down, I still regret that we don't...

If the breakup was mutual, I wouldn't see what it would hurt to just be friendly to her and give her more time. She truly may not be ready to date yet and may still be trying to get over her ex. If I...

As a woman, I have asked this question to my partners. And they have asked me as well. When a guy and I were to the point of becoming intimate, the question was a just a part of getting to know more...

I know how you feel origins. My ex insisted on the friendship after dumping me too. My ex and I were long distance but we had discussed my moving to his city last year. I was planning to look for...

I agree that you have to want to get over an ex and you have to give up hope that they will come back before you can begin to come to terms with everything. My ex broke up with me unexpectedly last...

Chica, did you initiate the breakup or did he? This is an important point in assessing how he must feel and to answer your questions.

If my ex dumped me and wrote that he was so happy without me...

Ha ha. Cute story Rose : )

I would say that if you have a simple way to contact him such as an email account you know he uses and it wouldn't take the work of a private detective to contact him, why not drop a simple line to...
