We celebrated our one year anniversary a few weeks back. I was also able to get my divorce finalized with my second wife. I might not be a textbook example, but here's what worked in my case: ...

Creeping up on 5 great months with my lady!

Well, it's been over seven months since I've seen my estranged wife. It is a lot easier to do No Contact during this first year after separating. I am feeling great about my new relationship (just...

Guy commenting here: I was reading just to see how people responded to the question. I have a son, and it is something I tell any potential gf right away. I am currently dating a woman who has a...

In this situation, I recommend you worry less about her, and focus on yourself. Yes, you love her. Apparently, she also loves you. Decide whether, in the long run, you think your life will be...

I think the definition of a rebound is basically a relationship that starts before you're over the last one. Whether you were dumped, or did the dumping, you could still end up in a 'rebound' if you...

Here's the thing. Whether he got your friend's number first, or not, you are the one who will decide where it goes. There's really no harm in going out on a date where you can get to know the...

If he's only 6 months out of a long term relationship, he might still be in the 'player' phase, checking out all his options. It sounds like you two really hit it off, but a 6 week gap? That does...

Great question! In my experience (yep, I have rebounded-- BIG TIME!) you think it's real at the time. I would never tell someone I was 'ready to date' if I knew I wasn't. I can only compare it to...

Yes, I see your point, Spoonandfork.

The purpose would mainly be just to prove that the fwb is actually not a true friend at all. A true friend would be able to be around, whether you're single...

It sounds like she needs to work on her boundaries. It is not her job to solve her ex's psychological problems. Since you cannot control his actions (nor hers, I might add), you should sit down and...

You can love your friend, but that does not mean you are destined to be lovers. Appreciate him for all he has to offer. Sadly, for you, he does not think of you in a sexual way. If he did, you'd...

When my marriage ended, I had moments of NEEDING to call her. It never helped to talk; it just drew out the pain. You might try thinking of her like a drug that you've quit: Ignore the cravings,...

If the current relationship is solid, tell your guy what happened while you were on a break. See if the fwb guy wants to hang out with you and your boyfriend, which should clearly indicate whether...

Keep it professional. Since you don't actually describe what the comments are, it is impossible for me to say whether they're "complimentary, sexy or nuisance". If you really want answers, I...

If you're not going to get back together, it is actually kinder for him to ignore you. After some time has passed, and you have done some healing, you can assess whether there is the potential for...

Hokusai says Look carefully.
He says pay attention, notice
He says keep looking, stay curious.
He says there is no end to seeing.

He says Look Forward to getting old.
He says keep changing,...

I agree with YouAreBeautiful. You will only be satisfied in a relationship once you are at peace with yourself. I have definitely had to discover this one the hard way! Good luck in your pursuit...

Sounds like a heartbreaking situation. If possible, give her a little time to get her head on straight. With the 9 years of history building something together, you're bound to get back together if...

Very thankful for love, on this Canadian Thanksgiving!

Things are going well!

I am trying to take a slow, gradual approach to this relationship. I sat down and had a major heart-to-heart with her the other day. I tried to put my emotions into...

Had a good talk with my ex yesterday on the phone. I told her I've been seeing someone. She told me she plans to move in with her boyfriend. I want her to be happy, and I also deserve to be happy....

I wrote this thread (and continue to add to it) as a way to track my progress coming out of a breakup. Yep, my wife left me May 1st. I had a few months of spastic dating, trying to fill the void. ...

I started back at school this week. I have been pacing myself with the woman I'm seeing-- taking it slow, seeing where it heads, without getting too wrapped up in it. She is a few years older than...

Catching my breath. I attended a meditation retreat this weekend. I'm staying true to my heart, and letting go of the frantic pursuit of novelty. I love myself, and my son. I am starting again,...
