If you are in a bad relationship self help techniques may not work unless you seek the right type of advice. If you walk into any bookstore you will see shelves of books written on relationships. They will cover all topics and be written by men and women; some of whom will have very impressive credentials.
But how do you know they will work? How do you know that these same writers are themselves happily involved with someone? Quite frankly I believe you have to be in a great relationship before you can help other people with theirs. After all you don’t go to a nun for sex help do you? So why ask a single person how a partnership should work?
You need to use self help guides like the M3 System i.e. a created by a real person, who is very happily married and writes to help real people just like you; with similar relationship problems. You want someone who cares whether you and your partner make it or not. Someone who will answer your emails should you wish to ask them a personal question because just sometimes the books don’t always cover everything.
Any relationship can be improved. There is no such thing as a ‘perfect one’ just as no human being is perfect. But you can have a great relationship with your existing partner. They are probably Mr or Ms right for you, just you have hit a couple of hurdles you need some help in getting over.
Self help marriage counseling may be an answer for those of us that don’t want to sit down with a stranger; to discuss the intimate details of our relationship. But unless you know where to start and what to look for, you probably aren’t going to achieve much more than another argument. The problem is that when you are involved in the situation you often can’t see things from the other person’s perspective. It is important that you learn as it takes two to tango as the old saying goes.
You will have to deal with painful issues and discussing these will take patience and practice. For example, sex may be causing an issue between you but it is often very difficult to discuss making love. Both of you may feel embarrassed or ashamed or annoyed that this subject is coming up again.
So before you dive into sorting out your relationship, make sure you have done some reading and thread carefully while you apply what you have learned. Take things slowly and don’t let your discussions turn into an argument. If things get heated, walk away and cool down. You cannot make the other person speak to you, so if they are not into a chat at that time, then leave it, and wait for a couple of days. Usually you will find that your partner is just as eager as you are to sort things out. Pick your moment before applying the relationship self help approach.
was like we knew each other from somewhere. We hugged kissed and got hot and heavy, couldn’t understand why we felt this way about a total stranger. Sex the first day always texting, calling, hand holding, but we never go anywhere I’m Cancer lady we just catch fire so wrapped up in each other we never leave the house. Taurus 2 my 1st choice didn’t get message to call me until two months later he’s older than me and Taurus 1 is younger. Taurus 1 divorced in December after a two year separation. Taurus 1 has become distant, eating, me pleasing him he no longer pleasing me. Selfish, indulgent now wants to call our relationship casual. Taurus 1 is polite, but keeps giving mix signals I want you and like you, but I don’t want a relationship. Is this normal? I have a date with Taurus 2 he was my 1st choice should I give up on Taurus 1 we used to be so good together. I got mad at him and wouldn’t walk him to the door, and we’ve had a couple of break ups last one day, but we make up he remains quite and level headed and never seems to mind or respond to my concerns about what’s happening to us. I’ve been thinking I should move on with Taurus 2 who seems to have his head on straight. But I’ve fallen for Taurus 1 an would like to know if I should give him time to think to get over his divorce, said he didn’t want her back she cheated and so did he. I’m lost at what to do or what to expect from him. A man who want get angry, but he stood me up the other night deliberately said he was coming but I knew something was up because he didn’t say what time. Hes always on time or he lets me know something this is not normal for him. I covered the next day by text Hi and he didn’t response, so I made up a lie that I went out to the movies since I didn’t get a call from him I hope he wasn’t mad at me since we only have a casual relationship. He immediately responded with a Hi Sweetie I don’t know if he’s cheating or he’s angry that I got upset and told him about himself or if he cares or wants to go. When I text him he still greets me with the sweet nickname he gave me. Why don’t he just tell me if he no longer wants me. I’m confused as to if I’m being played or what. He just doesn’t talk what’s wrong with him? Any Taurus men out there might have a clue? I don’t want to lose him but I need to be able to say what’s wrong in our relationship without him clamming up you’d think he was zodiac Cancer he’s so moody except when its time to eat or me to saddle him up. Also he knows I’ve been talking on the phone to Taurus 2… Thanks
Gave up called Taurus 1 it turns out he seems to thing I’m dating the other man. This is so untrue if he’s jealous does this mean he cares he got so distant is this normal?
I’m heartbroken, my woman left me, and later got back with an ex. I feel awful. I know logically, I’m supposed to move on and be strong. However, I’m really emotionally torn right now. I want her back but it may be too late. She’s in a relationship now, I can’t intervene. Only thing I can think of us give it time for her to contact me. She turned completely cold on me as if I’m a stranger.
I hurt her but I was honestly sorry. No, I didn’t cheat. I hurt her feelings about something I said. I honestly didn’t mean to. She said ever since then she couldn’t help but NOT think about it. Is this new relationship going to last long for her or will she come back to me?
I don’t give a damn, if she’s not into me now. When you love someone you’ll be ready to come back regardless, but everyone is saying you’re too good for her. Let her go and move on. Ladies what can a man do to ease the pain of a woman being hurt. I sent her a dozen roses and she told me, thanks, but no thanks.
My divorce happened very quickly (six months ago). I do not see my ex very often – maybe once a week when he drops off our kids – but it is very strange. I look at him and see a stranger. Is this normal? Will it last? Can you ever be friends when they cheated on you and are now living with the other woman? Do you get past the hurt and anger? Right now I can not see that happening. Maybe with time?
We have been off and on since 2004. I call him my knight in shining armor because he removed me from a bad relationship. We were inseperable for the 4 months of our “relationship”…during those months he lost his job. Me…I was a single mom, working full time and also attending college full time..all while starting a new relationship. Him being a man, felt that he should be doing more…considering all that i had on my plate. We spent Thanksgiving together…2 days later he told me he joined the army and was leaving in a week…talk about blown away…after my intial shock..we decided to do the long distance thing….the day he left right before he was to board his flight to Fort something in NC, he told me he loved me for the first time….I cried…..days went past..then i finally heard from him…..a few months later he told me he was being deployed to iraq…shell shocked again..i decided to stick by him….that is when we lost contact…2005 rolls around..and I am lost..don’t know if this guy is dead or alive….around Nov. 2005..I started seeing missed calls on my caller ID from the us army…and every time I always missed the call..either by a minute or something strange…for months….
April 2nd 2006…i arrived home…and i see a missed call from someone with the same last name as him..my heart starts racing and i get nervous…I call the number back and ask for him. the stranger that answered the phone introduced himself as his uncle..he asked my name and told me to hold on…I immediately hung up..taken over by nerves…was this really my lover boy trying to contact me all this time and i missed the calls..all of them?…my cell phone rings..a 910 number…its him…we talk….rekindle the flame…..by august 2006 we loose contact again….from Sept 06 to Nov 06 he would send me messages here and there via AIM….at this point i am frustrated with this off and on mess but still loving him…
In Feb. 2007 he called me and we were on the phone for hours..I was telling him about my new place, new car, new job..he told me he was proud of me and that he wanted me to help him get a job in NYC….he were vibing….and then the phone went dead…no call back..no more contact….a few days later i deleted the number that he called me from out of frustration and anger because he had not called me back…..and that was the last time i spoke to him….and i still really truely..deeply..love him.
