Emily,
since you have a good job, that is a definite start for your independence. You have decided not to subject yourself to any more emotional abuse. Stay strong and you will be fine!

Actually your birthdate doesn’t really factor into the romantic situation. However, if you go about your daily routine exhibiting a peaceful and positive attitude you stand a good chance of attracting someone who is looking for those qualities–

It seems as if your guy is demonstrating serious mood swings. The best way to find out what is happening with him is to ask him to discuss the situation. You need to know what is wrong before you can even try to fix it. If he is being unfaithful, then you need to ask yourself if that is something you can tolerate in…[Read more]

The job market is still very tight due to the economy. If you continue to apply for any job that you feel you are qualified, or could become qualified — then try for it! Sometimes employers will accept the willingness to learn over more experience. Continue to reflect a positive attitude and flexibility at each interview. There is a very good…[Read more]

I sense that you are having mixed emotions about this. There is a small part of you that would like to hear from him, yet you are feeling that it was not a solid relationship for the long term. There is a chance that he might contact you at some point, it might not be in the immediate future. If you were to try again it might result in having…[Read more]

I sense that raymond is feeling that because he has a girlfriend that he shouldn’t be talking to other girls. Perhaps his girlfriend might not understand that there has been a long standing friendship? For now if you just give it some time, there is a chance that this new relationship might not last for the long term.…[Read more]

You obviously want to help to heal people. If you can pursue a career path that motivates and interests you it will lead to personal fulfillment.

Actually, our future is not set in stone so it really isn’t possible to predict when you will meet that special someone. You shouldn’t have to be searching though, the person is likely to come to you when you least expect it!

Best wishes,

Would it be possible to talk to him about your feelings? Could you try to determine what went wrong in your relationship? If you are both willing to work on these issues there is a chance that you could reconcile.

Best wishes,

Welcome to the forums!

I do sense that there will be a reconciliation. You can start by apologizing to your sister and assuring her that what happened before will not happen again. She misses you too! The rebuilding of your relationship might start out slow, but it will continue to strengthen.

Because your relationship has been off and on repeatedly, this seems to be a pattern. The things that initially drew you together bring you back together. The issues that caused problems tend to resurface after you get back together. Is this what you want for the long term? Even if you were to get married there is no…[Read more]

It seems that you are both focusing on different issues in your lives right now. It would be a good time to evaluate to make a decision if you really want to come together for the long term. Future goals might be weighing heavily in your relationship right now.

Since you still have feelings and concerns about your ex, is there any way you send him an e-mail or letter through the mail? This wouldn’t put him on the spot and he would have time to decide how he wishes to respond. You might feel better if you could at least keep a friendship alive? As for the new guy, he might have…[Read more]

Sandi, welcome to the forums!
It seems that he is pulling back because he has the fear of getting involved with someone again too quickly. There may be some issues from his past that he needs to deal with. Since all was well with your casual relationship, you are likely to hear from him when he gets his own personal issues resolved.

Best wishes,

Welcome to the forums!
We would really like to try to help you, but could you please provide a bit more information? If you can post a specific question it will be easier to focus on the situation.
Best wishes,

Welcome to the forums!
Actually, our futures are not set in stone. Much depends on the paths we choose to take. You might want to ask youself how you would expect to strengthen your relationship with this man? What can you contribute to a meaningful relationship? Also does he share your feelings? Once you consider these aspects your initial…[Read more]
