Me and my girlfriend have been dating on and off for about alomst a year. We’ve had out ups and downs like every other couple but recently she’s been acting depressed for different reasons, one being that I don’t show her how much I love her. But in my mind, I don’t know how I can do that.

Yeah, her and I broke up about a week ago. It was something where, shes been holding some feelings whenever she was hurt, deep inside, and then one argument and misunderstanding on the phone last week, she explodes and then says she has had enough! I feel horrible on my part, since i didn’t do a good job to keep my cool instead of having a silly argument on the phone that got outta hand. it was so bad that she said things like ‘our love has past’ and ‘maybe it was never meant to be’. yet, before that incident, she would always shower me with compliments like ‘no matter the downs and lows, i will forever choose to be in your arms’ and ‘i am forever yours my love’. im so confused. one minute, she loves me and all, the next, its like a whole different person. and like i said, its been about a week already since we broke up, and she hasn’t shown signs of getting back yet, do i have a chance?

-we’ve been together for 1 and 1/2 years
-shes 19, im 18
-yeah, we had our ups and downs but mostly it was all good
-this is our 2nd breakup (the first one was last year in september. couple days later we got back together)
-she initiated both breakups
-looking at this breakup, i realize we lacked communication and trust, something i really wish to fix if i had the chance…

but somehow, like deep down, something is telling me that she still cares, but, i dunno…

i wrote her a poem, maybe if i show that to her and do nice things, she’ll love me again? i dont wanna sound desperate and needy, but c’mon, how do you love somebody one moment (like they’re everything to you), then one incident later its like they completely change their feelings of you? :(

My ex and i broke up about 3 weeks ago. He was the love of my life and we were together 2 and a half years. Our relationship had it’s ups and downs, but the way I saw it, as long as we were together we could work through anything. i guess he didn’t see it the same way. i’ve tried everything that i could think of to get over him, but nothing is working. i just cant escape that feeling. it’s like i’m obsessed with him. i cant do anything without it reminding me of him. even certain smells bring back memories. what can i do to get over him and not look back?

My husband of 10 yrs left me and filed for divorce. I am devastated and don’t want to divorce.
I love him…

My husband and I have had our ups and downs for the past 10 years like most marriages. We had a fight 4 weeks ago and it escalated to him moving out and filing for divorce within 3 weeks. He says I have emotionally abused him (silent treatment, yelling, talking to like a kid, etc…) and he doesn’t want our relationship anymore.

I have since stopped calling and texting as much as I was in the beginning, which only made things worse. I’m trying hard to give him space and time. I have accepted responsibility for my mistakes and am working with a therapist to change my behavior. His chief complaints are I don’t speak to him respectfully, always question him and control things, smother him, won’t accept his decision to divorce.

I am truly sorry for the way I have treated him and have expressed that to him, but he said he doesn’t believe me because I promised to change when he left me in January. I did make some changes, but they were not to his standard and he didn’t mention anything until our fight 4 weeks ago. I am desparate to save my marriage and I don’t know what to do. I have been reading books, taking anti-depressants and courses on relationship rebuilding, but nothing seems to matter at this point.

He says he is 75% gone and has recently agreed to speak with a counselor with me to find it if he is making the right decision. This is the hardest thing I’ve had to go through in life and the pain is almost unbarable. I can’t function. I cry from the time I wake up till the time I go to bed. I have missed work and am planning to take FMLA to protect my job. I’m severely depressed and feel my life has no meaning without my husband.

If he leaves he takes everything away from me. I only associate with his family, I don’t have many friends, everything I have done in the past 10 years has revolved around my husband and our marriage. I feel like I am loosing my identity. I want to show my husband that our marriage is worth saving and that it can be saved, but it is hard when he keeps moving further away and refusing to deal with our problems.

He has walked out and it is difficult to even get him to talk to me. I don’t know what to do. Divorce is not an option for me.

If you don’t have anything helpful to say don’t say anything.

I just can’t handle negativity right now.

Hi all,

Your friend here needs a little help and advice. Here is the situation ok, I have been dating my ex-girlfriend for the past 6 years. She is about to turn 21 years old in 2 months. Our relationship has always been solid. We get along so well and always make each other laugh constantly. Been though so many ups and downs regarding her family not wanting her to date and such but we fought through it. She moved in for the last 2 years for college. Our relationship has always been great when we were together. The only thing is that she wanted to party more and be more social and going to clubs and all. To me, I told her, all that really doesn’t matter because I have the love of my life next to me and that is all I needed to make me happy. I’m not a drinker or smoker. She wanted me to start drinking when we go hang out with friends or when they come over sometime, but I choose not to.

Last year at around this time when we were still living together, I found out that she cheated on me with a guy and she later found out that he has a kid already. I sort of force things to get her to come back and she did. It lasted two months with this guy and I got her to moved back in with me.

Everything was great, we started going out. Just last year alone, we went to Disneyland, SeaWorld, San Diego beach, Water rafting, Snowboarding, santa cruz beach boardwalk, etc.. She’s always happy when we’re together.

Then all of a sudden, on Tuesday night at around 11:30pm three weeks ago, I finished taking a shower and came to bed, she said while laying her head the other way, "have you notice that something has been bugging me for the past 3 months." I said, "no, what is it." long story short, she said she’s attracted to this guy that came to the salon to get a hair cut. While she was cutting his hair, he told her that he’s a Stanford MBA graduate, vice president of Well’s Fargo, said that he got 0,000 bonus from his job last year, he said he have traveled to Thailand, Bora Bora, etc. He said if your my girlfriend I would take you to all these places. He told her that she doesn’t have to work if she is his wife and he also drives the latest BMW edition. So she is fascinated about all these stuff. Then I help her moved all her stuff back to her mom place, She’s dating this guy right now as we speak. He’s 29 years old 6’2.

So I’m very depressed and starting hanging out with my friends more often, everybody was very shock that we broke up. I showed them a picture of who she’s dating and they said, "I know this guy, my wife knows this guy, they went to high school together, she know where he was rasied, he dated so many girls." One of my friend said at first they feel sorry for me, but after seeing this guy, they said they feel sorry for my ex-girlfriend, they said you shouldn’t compare yourself to this guy, your a much better person, he’s a con-artist, he dated about 10 girls already, he take girls from their boyfriend and dump them and the girl run back to their ex always.

So my question is, should I take my ex back if she ever ask me back. Right now I still love her and will always. She ask me, "you don’t hate me after I have done this to you." I told her that my love for her is unconditional and that I don’t see myself ever again loving another girl as much as I love her. I do love her very much. She also told me, that her boyfriend right now is very boring and that he doesn’t make her laugh like I do. She said she attracted to him for his looks and wealth. She told me that he’s going to buy her a ,000 car, asked her to engage, and said she’s going to get her passport because this guy is taking her to tahiti.

Have you guys been through the same situation and end up successful. I really do want to work things out with her and I don’t want my heartbroken again because it really hurt. What can I do to make it last? Anything will help, and thank you very much for taking the time to read my story.
