Welcome to the forums!

Have you and your husband considered counseling? There is a chance that the quality of your marriage could be improved. As for your co-worker, are you certain that he isn’t otherwise involved? Sometimes people don’t want to share certain aspects of their personal life in the workplace. You wouldn’t want to jeopardize…[Read more]

It appears that he is playing some kind of game. He says he wants to be alone, but yet he doesn’t want to break up. He might be afraid of making a commitment. This is unfair to you. If you aren’t in a committed relationshp with him, you should feel free to date other guys and not wait for him. There are obviously some control issues here. It…[Read more]

Emma,
Welcome to the forums! If you become more involved with the things that interest you, there is a good chance you could meet someone who shares your interests. This could be something in the form of volunteer work.

Best wishes,
🙂

Please post your question as a “new topic” in the forum. That way others will be able to respond to your questions–

thank you,

Vini,
Welcome to the forums! It is possible that he is angry at something else that is going on in his life, but he might be taking it out on you. Have you specifically asked him if something is bothering him? If he is unwilling to share with you and doesn’t treat you right, you should not be expected to tolerate this behavior. You might first…[Read more]

It could possibly be himself that he is mad at. He knows what he did is wrong and he is trying to justify it within himself. So instead of assuming the blame, he is taking it out on you. You could sit down with your daughters and explain that you will no longer be living together as a family, but you and their dad both love them very much.

The…[Read more]

There is a chance that she might text you if she is in a “mood”. You might just want to ignore the text? She shouldn’t have the nerve to try to call you after behaving as she has. She could possibly approach you if she sees you out somewhere. You could just be “in a hurry” if you don’t want to talk to her.

Best wishes,
🙂

She is not treating your right. Are you sure you really want to hear from her again? If it is her intention to string you along and then act aloof toward you in public, you do not need her in your life. I have a stong feeling that you will meet someone new very soon and be happy. It won’t matter so much about your ex anymore.

Best wishes,
🙂

It appears that she doesn’t know what she wants right now. Do you honestly feel that you could trust her again if she does come back? She came out of a relationship and married you. When she married you could it possibly have been on the rebound from her previous affair? If she should want to come back to your marriage you might want to make…[Read more]

It is important not to completely close the door on a relationship right now. First you might want to find out where another friendship might lead? Actually, there is no one person who can fulfill all of our needs. True happiness must come from within. So if you are considering ending a relationship, it is not a good idea to jump right into…[Read more]

You can probably sense that he has respect for you professionally. Just take this opportunity to get to know him better. You should have a better feeling about this situation soon. Just accept this association as it is now, and let the friendship develop. It is important to be patient and not rush anything.

Best wishes,
🙂

You have had to adjust to some major life changes all within a very brief period of time. I sense that you are feeling confused as to which direction to take? You express yourself very well in written communication. It is easy to see that you are a very intelligent lady. You can break this connection with the man you have moved on from. He is…[Read more]

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect job. You have been trying to follow a career path that you feel suited for. You obviously enjoy helping people. Have you considered training to be a counselor? For now you might want to rely on the training that you already have and get settled in a work routine. You will meet new people.…[Read more]

Your ex will ultimately influence how his daughters feel about him. You are so right– if he keeps in touch they will remember him. If he doesn’t, they are likely not to remember much about him. You could have your girls send pictures to him. This would be a reminder of how quickly time passes and they will be growing.

You know in your heart…[Read more]

You will know in you heart that you have tried when you ask him to talk to your daughters with you. I sense that his new relationship will not last for the long term. So you need not worry about what she will think. If he wants to remain close to his daughters he needs to make an effort. They are very young and if he doesn’t keep in contact…[Read more]

If he would agree to it, now would be a good time for both of you to sit down with the girls and explain that while you are no longer living together as a family, both their daddy and you love them very much. It would be more beneficial to the girls if he would take them somewhere on an outing to spend quality time with them instead of taking…[Read more]

He should explain to his daughters that even though they will not be living together as a family, he still loves them very much. You will allow him to see them if he wants. There is time for him to talk to them before you move out of the area. He should do this while he has the chance. So if the opportunity presents itself, you might want to…[Read more]

Kimberly,
Don’t worry about your friend. In time she will feel very sorry she acted this way. Your ex chose to leave his family. How did he choose to explain this to his daughters? You are doing the best you can by moving back to where you have family who can help you. You can work out a custody and visiting arrangement with your ex. He…[Read more]

Kimberly,
I sense that your friend was caught up in her own thoughts and things weren’t going well for her. That is why she made that remark. Good friends are supposed to help each other through difficult times. Not kick someone when they are down Just focus on your move and making new friends.

Best wishes,
🙂

I sense you are having some doubts about your 4 year relationship? Also if you can get ahead financially? If you could secure a job that would meet your individual financial needs, this would help to boost your confidence. You would also feel more in a position to make decisions for yourself.

Your questions don’t contain a lot of information…[Read more]
