I can understand that argument, that you should get out there and not be too serious about one relationship, when you're 17 or 19, but not 23. I'd go for it, sounds like you've both found a good...

Huh? You're not in a relationship with her? I certainly am as confused as my handle would indicate. You called her your girlfriend in the first post, I'm not quite sure what the problem is if she's a...

Perhaps you should consider that she has unresolved feelings about him. If her relationship with him is infringing on her relationship with you, then it is a problem. And it is her problem to sort...

I'd call it annoying and needy.

By the way, I'm assuming you're around 18-20. Don't take it all too seriously. Once I had come out of a committed relationship, I was an absolute rake in college. I was as dissolute as they come, and...

Edward Said was my second guess, I read Orientalism as an ungrad student, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I won't get off topic, though middle eastern history and politics is an area of great interest for...

Oh, I did have a quick question about the situation between you and Elise. Is there the physical chemistry? I guess the question is, is there a significant disparity in looks, body type etc between...

I laughed out loud at the ridiculous number of parallels between us and our situations. Even your manner of writing, take a look at my post "Confusing and abrupt ending to a promising relationship?",...

I can tell you one thing that is absolute certainty; not knowing what might have happened if you miss this opportunity will be very difficult to deal with. I really feel for you, but I also think...

I think there's a good chance that you could get back together, dependent on two things. Have you broken up before? And was there something that you did to cause the breakup?

If you've broken up...

I take this to mean you had an affair?



May I ask, considering the situation, why you decided to keep the child? Considering how short a period of time you'd been together, and that the father...

Lol, did I get taken in? Hopefully its just a coincidence it seemed like an ad, otherwise I'll store away my advice for future reference lol

My advice would also be not to let him play dumb and say sorry and make up. If he's got to the point of cheating, then there are some real, serious issues you need to discuss, and work on, so that...

I'm very sorry to hear that

My best advice, and perhaps I'm not the best placed person to give it (my only qualification is being a guy), is to talk to him about it asap. Find out the reason why...

And remember, relationships are supposed to be fun. When you're together, have fun together. Don't be too serious about it, and I'm sure she'll be back in your arms

Well, the standard rulebook for breakups says play it cool and don't be too keen, but there are a million exceptions to the rule. Every situation is different, and you kind of get a feel for it. In...

Can you please do something about this "getmyexback" guy. He's clearly on here to sell his book, and he's giving very poor and self-interested advice to people who need some common sense and backup...

Oh and what the "getmyexback" guy says, its a load of bullshit. He's on here flogging his book, I'd encourage you to ignore him, and wish some forum ops would come and boot him off.

A couple of things. The first is that you had an online relationship for a while before you met in person, if I read your post above correctly. Sometimes when you start to interact in person its not...

My comment/question was about dead-end relationships, not ones that seem to be working. But thanks for the contribution. I'll pass on the book though, if that's okay.

By the way, I seem to be in the latter situation at the moment. Just finished a first date with an awesome guy, and it seems really promising, will see how it goes.

Hi folks,

Thought I'd start a thread about a problem I seem to have, and other guys seem to as well.

I have had countless situations where I'm seeing someone, but my hearts just not in it. I...

Its confusing because you clearly care about him deeply. I think you're probably more tolerant of his faults than many women would be, and also have the sort of personality that you can appreciate...

That's really tough, its very similar to a situation I know of. Best thing to do is let her go. It sounds like you did your best to express your love for her, and had this constant, bewildering...

I think you did the right thing. Relationships are supposed to be equal ventures, and it sounds the one you were in was more 80:20. And the stuff about being possessed and mental illness, he clearly...
