    me and my ex broke up 7 months ago. i know there are signs of your bf not wanting to be with you, but for some reason, i didn’t catch them,only after it was too late. i remember he told me his ex went off to some school to help graduate early, before she went to the school they broke up. so a year later she comes back, about 2 weeks me and my bf are dating. i start to notice that he’s not putting much effort into our relationship as he use to. we argued alot, mostly about his family problems, and gan violence that was occuring in his life, i told him multiple times that he needed to get out but he said “it’s not that easy” i din’t want to get him mad, so i left it at that. we kept arguing and arguing till it came to a point when neither of us would say anything to eachother for a few days, even walking was difficult. we made up. but a few days after i’m txting him asking him what hes doing. he say hes at a friends house (denise] denise is his ex gf’s younger sister. i knew why he was there, to see his old gf. he even admitt to it. so i broke it off. after i told him i was tired of his bs all he had to reply was “wat”.. about 2 months passes by and we started talking again.. but he got together with his ex again. after being toyed with i finally wanted to give up and forget this kid. months pass by him and his ex broke up again and i think its for good this time. but it was too late. he had lost both of us. everytime he tried to talk to me, i’d scold at him, or sometimes just walk right past him as if he didn’t exist. but deep down, i wanted to be with him so bad. i kust didnt want him to think he could win me over after all that he put me through. we eventually stopped talking, altogether. its the 7th month now since our break up. i’ve tried moving on, talking to other guys, i want a new relationship but i’m still so damaged from my past i’m scared. and on to of that i still love my ex, it wouldn’t be fair to whoever i’d start dating. cuz when i’m talking to them, i’m wishing it’d be my ex. i’m thinking about him every single day. i hope at night that i’ll dream about him, so that i can atleast be happy in my dreams. but i never do. i think i have insomnia. i haven’t been able tooo sleep for the past couple weeks. i try to preoccupie myself so that i wont be in my thoughts. cuz when im doing nothing and theres nothing but silence i start to think about the good times, so i start to cry. i thought i’d be over him by now, but i guess not. i need to know.. should i move on.? or keep hope alive…

      I can definitelly relate to your experience… almost the same happened to me just this past sunday. and I cant stop thinking about the way my ex completely treated me like crap.

      @crystal: You are obviously being toyed with by your juvenile boyfriend. Some of us guys sometimes like having a spare tire, just in case the main tire bursts. I think you are the spare tire. Sorry for being blunt. I suggest moving on. He'll try to woo you again. Please love yourself and do not give in. Best of luck on your search for your one true love.

    If anybody could help me with my situation I would appreciate it so much. I've never hurt so bad in my life nor been so frightened about anything. First off I am 26 and my ex is 24, we dated through college for just over 3 years but we constantly breaking up and getting back together, the relationship was terribly dramatic and I absolutely could not stand it. I loved her, and still do love her, so much though. About a year into the relationship I found myself becoming interested in other girls and I became something I never thought I would be. I started breaking up with her to see how it would be to date other girls. She started going through my phone and emails and finding out I was seeing other people, and the arguments were terrible. So the on and off would continue, as would the me seeing other people. I just wanted a relationship were I was so happy in the relationship that I did not want to date anybody else, but after all of the petty arguments we were having I lost that feeling with her. After graduating she still had a year left in Arizona and I moved from Arizona to California. We were having problems in Arizona before I left for California so I knew the long distance was going to be terrible. I broke up with her before leaving, even moved out of our house into an apartment in Arizona even know I was leaving in two months. I couldn't live without her though so after about a week we got back together. By the way, this is so out of my character, and hers. We were both extremely stoic before we met each other, then our hearts went through the blender. I'm in California now and she's still in Arizona, I'm waking up in the morning in panic, with anxiety, I'm crying everyday. But I don't want to keep getting together we her then breaking up. I definitely don't want to have her move to California to be with me then break up with her again. If I commit one more time to her it is marriage, because I would have to prove to her that this time I know for sure it can work. She has always been there for me, would do anything for me. When we lived in Arizona and I broke up with her she would not let me go, shed follow me away crying, begging me to give her another chance, promising that the petty arguments would stop. But the petty arguments kept on, and now I was finding that I was deeply in love with a girl, but for some reason just was not satisfied with the relationship. She's applying to graduate schools soon and I am pursuing acting right now in Los Angeles. Again, if I commit to her this time it is her moving out here to be with me and us getting married. I just don't know why I can not live with out her, it's like losing oxygen, I panic. I am up and down every day, crying at one point, and being happy and confident at another point, this happens everyday… Does anybody have any advice on this situation?

      The breakup you just experienced will forever change who you are. Maybe you’ll notice the change in 6 days or 6 months but you will never be the same again. This is your chance to search through the rubble of your destroyed relationship, find what is salvageable, and become your own architect using the open space left by the demolition to design a new life. There are amazing people left in the world. There is going to be a new girl along the way that you will love & cherish forever. Moving on may be hard in life, But you eventually understand.

    Hey,
    Ok here it goes me and my ex boy friend have been together for over 2 years and we study in the same class and were very intimate and into each other. But about 15days back, he came to me saying he doesn't want to be with me and wants to end it. I was a lil shocked but decided to give him sometime to think, unfortunately him being in the same class turned out pretty bad and eventually the urge to talk to him kept growing until 4 days back I found out he was cheating on me by going out with his ex gf. Which was a real shock to me, especially after the closeness we had experienced as a couple, so there was nothing I could do and cried it over and then decided to forgive him , thinking we are in the same class and I see his face every damn day and my absence makes no difference to him and his life, And I behave weirdly by being a lil sad and not very contributing in class. It hurts and I absolutely do not know how to cope up with it, esp by seeing him very much happy around me and I cannot avoid it at all! Please help.

    He got home when I was out and called me home because he'd like to talk. I went home and he accused me of cheating as well. …And you know what? He was right. I cheated as well. Cheating is cheating, but the difference? He strung me along for two months and lied to me about everything. He could even look me in the eyes and do so. When I was caught, I was caught and I owned up to it right then and there. My explanation for my actions? It was amidst all this hurt and heartbreak and someone was there for me… It felt good to feel wanted, you know? Plus, mine was 30 seconds long. I put a stop to it because the guilt was overwhelming… He found out because he went through my old phone and found a text message. Honestly? I had always planned to tell him just…not right then with him on the brink of leaving me already. I felt like such a piece of shit… We talked for three hours and he agreed to stay and fix this. The next day, the 4th of Juy: We get wasted at a friend's house and he absolutely dumps me. 'I can't do this anymore. I can't look at you the same way. You can't look at me the same way. I'm not leaving you for Jacob, I'm leaving you for you. I'm so sorry. I'll always love you, but I just can't do this…' We both cried uncontrollably… We passed out and awoke the next morning… I BEGGED him over breakfast almost literally on my hands and knees to agree to fix this…and he wouldn't. He was absolutely done. DONE. He packed up his things and left my life. …He now lives with Jacob and after just two months I've heard they're already talking about marriage and kids. They go on constant vacations together all around the world, Jacob bought him an iPhone, and there's pictures of them just so blissfully happy all over each others Facebook. It was too painful, so I blocked them both. It's been two months and three days since I was with Bryce. The guilt has literally made me nauseous… I don't know how to cope. If I would've just not faltered like him, I could've fixed it. I miss him so, so, so, so much it's unreal. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this guy. We just fit so perfectly. Also keep in mind that the entire, two days Bryce was gone, he stayed at Jacob's while Robert was out of town. I called Jacob who was also a friend of mine on those two days crying and asking for relationship advice and what to do…while I'm sure Bryce sat right next to him giggling. But, yeah… I miss him. I still want him back after what he's done to me and what I did to him. He's even gone up to Seattle to meet Jacob's parents… I just can't deal. I quit my job and everything. Too many painful memories there… I still feel like he's made a mistake and that we belong together sometimes… We don't speak at all which is for the best… They're just so 'in love' after two months of truly being together and I don't get it. I'm so hurt there's no way in HELL I could be in a relationship right now… I don't get it. I just want to be happy again. I am healing greatly, but like, for instance, I have a stage performance coming up…and I would give anything for Bryce to be in the audience…but I know he won't. I just miss his goofy face, his charm, his kind heart, him. Now that you know my life story, (haha) does anyone know how to alleviate the guilt that's been growing over this last week? I feel the early break-up pains beginning to return and I'm terrified. I thought I was almost healed, but now I'm not so sure… Thoughts?

    About 2 months ago my ex boyfriend of over 3 years broke up with me. At the time of the break up we were in the same location but for the last 5 months or so of our relationship we spent it long distance. We spent a significant chunk of our young lives together and while I am grateful that it is over because I realized we were hurting each other, I also was still committed to him. I put everything I had into trying to make the relationship work and I am having a very difficult time letting it go. He already has a new girlfriend and actually ended things through a text message. I knew the relationship was coming to and end, I could sense it, but I'm having a difficult time moving forward. I can't help but still feel connected to him. I am not trying to move on to another person to fill the void, I believe I have pretty good coping skills but I wake up every morning feeling anxious and still bothered by the situation. We did not end on bad terms but he deleted me from facebook, we deleted each others numbers, and there was no conversation about the break up really besides a text somewhat explaining that he needed it to be over. We were together from the time I was 16 until right before my 20th birthday. We went through graduations together, first years of college, transferring schools, parents divorce, family deaths, traveling, etc. I guess I am trying to ask if these feelings will subside, if I will ever be able to give my heart to someone else. I'm afraid that I gave him so much of me that I won't have anything to give to someone else or that even though I know he wasn't perfect for me that I won't find anyone like him. Any advice that could send me on my way?

    HELP!!!!!! My BF and I dated briefly 2 years ago and the timing was not right. We ended as friends and stayed friends for 2 years. We have children the same ages so we saw each other all the time at sporting events and such. About 3 months ago we decided to try again and it was great!! The problem was I wasnt ready to commit as in marriage and he was. I just wanted to take my time. He said that from that he thought I would eventually end it so he decided to do it now. It has been a month or so and it has been really rough. We talked some but got NO WHERE!!!! Through it he would make comments like “I just dont think what we had will ever fade, go away, etc.” “I wont ever find this in another woman…I’ll just have to settle” “I fight to be with you constantly”…and so forth..but was very unwilling to give it another go. VERY CONFUSING.

    So I applied No Contact. He contacted me a day into it and said “so I guess we arent talking anymore” I replied…”I need to heal”. After a week he then contacted me and we texted all day just non-chantley, very friendly but no biggee. The next day he text and said we should stop all communication because he was talking to someone else and didnt think it fair to still want to be with and see me while talking to her. I agreed. Another week of no contact and now he has text me a song to listen to “Colder Weather” by Zac Brown Band, which basically stated that even though he wanted to be with me he just had to leave… I AM SO CONFUSED. Why does he continue with this stuff????

  • Kokonutz4me

    Ok I need help. I want and need to break up with my boyfriend of over 5 years. I am not happy and haven’t been for a long time. My problem is I don’t know how to work up the nerve to do so. Every time I have a complaint about something he somehow manages not to address it at all and at the same time make me look like the bad guy. Please advise on the best way to do this.
