Ex asked to see me... I went
Posted:
6/21/2009 11:53:29 PM
Get the f*** out of there!!!! Why so in couple of months is dumping you for someone else. Tell that you love yourself too much and send her packing. She's already looking to cheat on her boyfriend like she probably did to you. She just wants to see if your still around as a safety blanket. If you keep doing these kind of things you'll never be able to let go and move on

A little critique would be helpful
Posted:

I just want to know what can I do to make my profile more appealing. I get interest, but most of the times it doesn't go anywhere. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated, cause I would like more interest in my profile.
Thanks in advance.

Joint Bank Accounts Good or Bad Idea
Posted:
5/8/2009 12:04:11 AM
Joint bank accounts should only be used to pay bills, no retirement, no extra income...just bills. Each person should have their own account for personal use. Maybe later on in the relationship you may start joining money. But for me personally I wouldn't do it.

How should I interpret this
Posted:
5/8/2009 12:01:10 AM
Something happened yesterday that I still don't understand. How can somebody be dumped and then be accused by the dunping party that you're ignoring them? I don't get it. I broke up a couple of months ago and since then my communication with my ex has been on and off. Every once in a while I get an email , text or phone call by her . So I answer back , just to be polite, but I decided to continue my life and have cut all contact with her. Nothing!!
Yesterday I get a text asking me "How I was " and saying did u get my text or are you ignoring me?" I would like to know whats the mindframe of a person like this. How can she tell me that she's not ready and needs sapce and a couple of months later sends me something like that?
This is very odd to me. Cause I decided not to pursue her anymore, I'm just enjoying my life and making sure all my building blocks for the future are set.

Loss of Grandparent

Do it form the heart and it and you won't go wrong. It's hard losing a grandparent and I know it's even moer troublesome to write about soemone who passed away. Anyhow, you can start by saying all the things you learned form him and how much you miss him. My condolences go to you and your family.

Why are people so cruel?
Posted:
5/6/2009 1:03:29 AM
Same thing that happened to you happened to me not long ago. I could go into details but it would just be repeating everything you said. Right now I decided to take time for myself and do everything that I ever wanted to do!!! When she sees that you're ok, she'll look for you and that's when you have to make sure she's what you want.
Remember to be happy all you need is yourself. Be happy and don't expect anyone to amke you happy!!

Nice guys finish last is a sad truth...
Posted:
5/5/2009 12:38:17 PM
If you continue to project this, off course this is what's going to manifest. I for a long time thought the same way you do, but have decided to be myself instead of being someone just to get noticed or approved.
At the end of the day people like us come out on top because we have a clear conscience and when you go to bed at night you can sleep easier. Now regarding women, maybe this is true, but do you really want to be with somebody that doesn't appreciate you for who you are! Maybe you should also lay low for a while, don't smother them and let them look for you. Eventually all the women that said they wanted a bad boy or appeared that is what they wanted will start looking for you, because like everything you don't know what you have until you've tried it or lost it.
Right now don't worry about finding somebody and take time for yourself, because when you find that perosn you'll have a lifetime with them and then you're goign to regret not enjoying being single!! Good luck and hang tight!!
Peace out

Do you think she's...
Posted:
5/4/2009 11:24:50 AM
My question is: My relationship ended 3 months ago, and i've been working on letting that person go. She ended the relationship with me and it was because when we started dating she was going through the divorce process and felt she wasn't ready to put into the relationship what I had put in. During that time I've kept all communications to a minimum and everytime we've talked is because she initiated the contact.
My problem eventhough i'm doing all these things I still can't get her of my mind. I've tried dating other people, getting back with friends and eventhough these things have helped me I still miss her.
Eventhough she was the one who broke off the relationship, do you think she's going through the same things I am? Maybe some woman in here left somebody and went through what i'm going through.

will he ever say I love you again?
Posted:
5/3/2009 10:46:58 PM
sad to say, but I personally don't think so. When he wanted to be with you, you blew him off and now that you want to be with him you ask yourself if he will say "I love you". Just look at it this way the reason why he doesn't want you to meet his friends or go around his family is because after you guys broke up the first time they were probably the ones who picked up his pieces and with you in the picture again he doesn't want to get alienated by them.
You had something and were willing to lose it evethough he was really good to you, bur now after he gave you everything. Now you decide to come back into his life and open old wounds, he's skeptical and not letting his emotions run so deep, cause he now s that what happened could happen again and this time he's going to be more prepared for the outcome. Hopefully you understand, but the first thing you have to do is gain his trust back, because if not your destined for the same outcome as before

Do abusers repeat there patterns
Posted:
5/2/2009 10:25:44 PM
Not only do abusers repeat the same patterns, but the abusee's also follow the same pattern as how they were in the previous relationship. Only people that don't change as much are the ones that get counseling and what they do is try to control the previous patterns. Anyways, those are my thoughts from what i've seen.

Do we go into relationships, knowing that it will end?
Posted:
5/2/2009 10:21:43 PM
I believe almost all of us enter relationships knowing the outcome. This is sad but true. Almost everyone here has been with somebody knowing it wouldn't work out, but did because either they felt they could change the person, to see how it was ,to be rebelious..etc.
But this isn't the problem, the problem is when we know it won't work and still try to make it survive. When you meet the right person you won't think this won't last, but what should I do to not lose it. Problem is most people don't make it to this stage.

Fell in LOVE TOO FAST - now peddling backwards?
Posted:
4/29/2009 11:34:35 PM
Ok, I was in a situation similar to yours, the only difference is no kids. I met this recently divorced woman who was also in an abusive situation and when we met it was like nothing I had ever experienced.
We would see each other everyday and hangout together, take trips. You name it we did it. But I started noticing that the more I was into her the more she backed away, and if something happened that wasn't in her liking she would just turn cold and distant. But by loving her I stayed there and tried giving more love to remedy the situation. We since then have broken up and still once in a while communicate. My recommendation to you is back off!!! You will get hurt and it will be by someone who loves you but isn't ready for you. By the way you've described how she's acting, it's Deja vu to me. Cause she's probably still in it with you because she thinks you're a great guy and you love her kids. Not many guys would do that. My recommendation is to take some time for yourself. Just disappear and if she tries to look for you then take it from there. If she doesn't , then maybe it was better for that to happen.
Like I told you been there and done that. Like I said before same situation but without children and if you do what I did you will end up worse. Don't make the same mistake I made. You gave everything you were going to give, know either she appreciates and tries get you back or go find yourself somebody that will give you exactly the same of what you're putting in.
Good luck, tough road ahead

It's better to love and lost, then to have never loved at all
Posted:
4/28/2009 11:25:50 PM
I wrote the same question maybe a couple of weeks ago and got a lot of feedback , mostly criticizing the posting instead of giving constructive criticism. You can look at it in two different ways.
1.) Tu never have found that special person who makes you smile every morning and make you feel like you've always wanted to feel.
2.)To have found that special someone and then lost it. That person who made you feel complete and when gone you feel nothing but emptiness and heartbreak. All your life you'll just be comparing everyone to that person and that might not be the best thing.
As you can see this is a Catch 22, and being in the situation your in I would've definitely prefered not to have found. I was in that situation also. Everyone is going to say something different.
Hopefully you already know yours and feel like you need somebody in here to re-affirm it for you.

Do tall men like short, petite woman? or do men prefer women who they can see eye to eye with?
Posted:
4/27/2009 4:42:41 PM
My last G/F was 5'1' and I'm 6'3". Height doesn't matter it depends on the person. All my life I dated tall girls 5'5" and up. I think if the chemistry is there then then height doesn't matter. Trust me!
All my friends prefer that are my height prefer petitte women and the shorter guys prefer tall women, so go figure.

Do you believe a man of today, still understands the true meaning of romance?
Posted:
4/27/2009 2:14:32 PM
I dated a woman a while ago and treated her like I had never treated anybody. I simply caught her at a bad time. Now I still miss her, but instead of being a fried fish ,i one day I'll be the fish the got away.
One more thought, Romance seems to work only in Hollywood! Because if a guy is romantic he is almost automatically discarded as a wuss.

my ex girlfriend disrespects
Posted:
4/26/2009 3:20:06 PM
That's part of life!! Deal with it!! So let me get this straight, you wanted your friends to like your girlfriend at the time, but when you end the relationship you also expect the friendship to end?? It doesn't work like that. My ex is close with my friends, but they know that just because the relationship ended it didn't mean that their friendship would end.
If you give this too much attention or thought you might end up not only losing her but your friends also. Just let it be, it happens!!!!

Posted:

From a guys point of view you did the right thing. Now enjoy your time alone. If she didn't ask for a divorce that means that at some point she wants you back, but right now your not a priority.
If you want her back, just disappear. Cause that way she'll begin to miss you. Be distant and make her see that you have the power to enjoy life without her. Do this for a couple of weeks and then let us know what happened. Remember disappear and don't answer any calls!!

Is your loneliness overwhelming?
Posted:
4/26/2009 1:05:06 AM
I think loneliness has a lot to do with boredom. The more time you dedicate to thinking your alone the worst you will feel!! Anyhow I think this happens to us a t some point during our life, especially after a relationship ends.
Best thing to do is do everything you've always wanted to do. In my case when I started to feel lonely I just began doing all these actvities I always wanted to do and it helped me alot.

Seeing the Whole Person
Posted:
4/24/2009 3:04:45 PM
I personally believe that people have a false impression!! We believe that the perfect person has to have many traits or things in common,I personally think this is not true. The importance is not having things in common, but making sure that we disagree on the same things. It's a little confusing but after you internalize you'll see it makes sense.

Since it's free ,they can pick and choose and can wait forever for their proverbial prince charming. But on other dating sites due to the fact that they have to pay, they might be persuaded to move faster .

You're just the emotional band-aid that she has whenver things go sour with her current mate. She has you by a string and whenever she tugs you're there. If she really wants to be with you she would've left that guy by now and would've tried to work on the relationship.

Should I honor a promise??
Posted:
4/20/2009 12:11:50 AM
Me and the ex split a couple of months ago and have been talking on a somewhat consistent basis , but the last couple of times she has gotten a little more intimate and or personal with the questions.
Last time we talked ,she asked me where I was and I told her out on business trying to make money, to what she responded " Good so you can pay for my Italy trip", I was speechless after that. Is she really expecting me to honor that after we broke up!!! Eventhough we talk on a consistent basis, I never try contacting her. She always contacts me. Is this a test to see my resolve or does she really expects me to honor that present I told her I would give her.
I'm really confused, because after a break up, to me everythings off. Has anybody gone through something similar??

Is preventing all bad things from ever happening even a desired goal?
Posted:
4/18/2009 11:48:07 AM
I do agree 100% with what the second person to post said. Is it really that bad to want everyone to have happy modified thoughts? The purpose of these ideas is to prevent and overcome any outcome that is not desirable. In the 70's hippies believed in free love and modified thoughts mainly through the use of music and drugs. Now we have seminars and self help coaches and whatever more things you wanna throw out there.
On the relationship side I think it's totally different, because most people will treat a relationship like anything else ,if they don't like something they'll just let go and try to find something better.
I'm not saying that all this is good. But its good to have a mind frame that will help you deal with certain situations that may not be pleasant. Some people just need a little extra push.

Is divorce like mourning a death?
Posted:
4/18/2009 12:42:23 AM
I think you should stop thinking about how the divorce affects and the aftermaths of it and instead learn from what happened and enjoy life. Life is too short to be thinking about what went wrong! I know you loved this person , and I guarantee you didn't marry a stranger,he just decided to move on. You right now are feeling disappointed that he isn't mourning like you, but then again he's on Girlfriend #3 so that means that he isn't doing to good either. You both are trying to fill a void left by the situation.
My parents have been divorced for 20+yrs and to this date still fight, eventhough it happened long ago. Accept as it is, the relationship wasn't working , you probably did each other a favor by ending it. Here's a chance to start a new life , enjoy and make sure your kids enjoy it with you. They're the ones who fill you up not an ex-husband.
Just go out and about, take a trip and keep your mind busy, because the more you think the worst your going to feel.

Yes it does happen. There's really nothing you can do. I get messages and cards once in a while, but never ,except in a couple of occasions do I talk to one who I really like.
That's the problem when you try to find love on a site and the only thing you go by is a picture and a profile. I wish you good luck and also be patient and if you like someone it sometimes takes a little more than a couple of emails before they warm up to you.

how long after you were divorced or seperated did you start dating again ?
Posted:
4/16/2009 12:18:10 AM
From the flip side of things, I was in a relationship with a recently divorced woman. we started dating right after the divorce, everything seemed to be going ok, until one day she said I need space! I was confused by this ,but for some strange reason expected it.
Previous to her I was in a 5 yr relationship and when we broke up I felt like I could date immediately but didn't. I think it all depends on the persons individuality,some people need little time to heal while others need more. I'm the type of person who can be as attched or dettached as the situation merits. Everytime this happens to me, I think about why these past circumstances never made it to my future and keep going forward

why do men say they will call and then don't?
Posted:
4/15/2009 11:55:21 PM
Women do the same thing, thats just how you play the game! Have you ever given a guy a number thats not yours?? Give him a break, just because he hasn't called doesn't mean he doesn't like you. Maybe you're just to available and knows where to find you. If you see this as a persistent habit, then im sorry to say that " he's not into you". My advice is to begin moving along and usually men when they feel they're losing someone will return to you.

So I guess an overwhelming majority thinks I should call. For the record Landra, we're still friends and I don't know if you have ever used Facebook, but when someone writes something in their "Profile Status" everyone of your friends can see what you wrote.

Should I call??
Posted:
4/14/2009 2:31:41 PM
I was dating this woman for a little over a year and we were both gpoing through some troubles when we met, she was recently divorced and I was also going through soem tough times with the market where I lost all my 401K money, but thats not the case.
We met and starting being a couple a little over two months after meeting, About almost 2 months go she told me that she needed some space, so I decided to cut all contact with her and not initiate a thing. She would always be the one to call, text or email me.
But recently I've seen through Facebook that she's going through some really hard times and I was wondering if I should call her and help her out, or just to check up to see if she's ok. I still have feelings for her and thats why I cut all contact on my behalf, but there's also the other side of me that wants to go help her out or to atleast to give a little support.
What do you think I should do?

This post is something that has intrigued me for a while! I doens't have to do directly with me! When I go out with my friends to Bars I just see the dynamic play out. BTW I consider myself a nice guy, I treat people like I would want people to treat me. But I have convictions and know what I want and how to go about and get it.

Being too nice, giving advice, rescuing people

I know what you're going through I living with it myself and have started to sction by not rescuing anymore! I have a history you might say of rescuing people and or being in relationships with them.
The last time it happened, I told myself that it would be the last time! I was in a relationship with somebody that had a lot of "Baggage" as you might say and trying to help her and get her on her own 2 feet ended up getting hurt like I never thought possible. The only advice I can give you is that rescuing people with issues is like rescuing a drowning person. You might be able to pull it off a couple of times and end up exhausted, but there's also the probablilty that you might drown. If people want your input or your help wait for them to start looking for it themselves and then and only then try to help them.

But no fun in damaging the car with no repair, it's better to see it run and stall. You'll be laughing for hours if you see them.

This is sad to hear, I think the best way to resolve this is for your sister to get a divorce and get as far away as possible from these people. On the other hand , you can always give them payback.
They want the divorce, thats why they're causing all this racket. Anyways you should talk with your sister and get the whole truth, maybe she hid something from you. About payback, I did this once and they'll never know it's you!! Take a Tampon and put in through where you fill up your car. This will make their car run for around a couple of hundred yards and then stall. When they take it to the shop they'll pick the whole car apart before knowing there's a tampon in the gas tank.
Anyways in no way am I condoning this action, just giving advice to this person. :wink

Have you ever loved someone enough to let them go?
Posted:
4/10/2009 10:21:50 PM
I had to, because the person I was with at the time had gone through many hardships in life. She hadn't experienced alot of things we get the opportunity to. So I figured it was best now to let her go instead of waiting and letting my feelings for her get stronger. "If you love someone let them free, if they come back then it was meant to be"

My question is when do women stop considering you a "nice guy" and actually start thinking about you as a sap or wussy, just to name a couple of terms thrown around.
Are there any classic examples?? In my case ,I was always taught to treat people like you wanted to be treated. But in this case I seem to see a trend, could this be why so many relationships don't work out?

Just hit the delete button and imagine he doesn't exisit. He obviously doesn't care for and from what i've heard you don't care for him either. Obviously there was nothing there cause you didn't say my ex, you said "this guy" sweetie after 6months if he doesn't consider you as his GF, he never wanted anything with you. So go live your life and find someone that does care for you.

Do relationships still have romance?
Posted:

"The decline in marriage is probably based more on expecting "Hollywood Romance" rather than striving to achieve real communication and intimacy"
This is about as accurate as you can get. Women want hollywood romances and expect that what happens in Hollywood transfers home. I do believe in romance, but sometimes if your to romantic women just consider you a sap or wussy. I consider myself romantic if the occasion deserves it. Anyways, during the course of human history there's always been varying rates of marriage.
To start off ,marriage was only for nobles to keep bloodlines of heirs, there was never a traditional institution for the common folk. There you got married the hard way by having kids and taking care of your family. During the early part of the 20th century, people got married because of fear of losing that loved one in wars. During the 70's the decline in marriages so even more than today,because of the hippie culture and young people wanting free love. During the 1980's the marriage rate was extremely high, due in part of the AIDS epidemic. Today is the next generation of children seeing their parents being in relationships where there was probably no love just commitment. Probably today you'll see a spike in marriage again due to the fact that there's an economic crisis and some people will find it better to share space together in order to survive.
For marriage to survive people have to know that they're in it for love and not for compromise or a quid pro quo.

BPD - What would you do?
Posted:
4/6/2009 11:44:47 PM
You could say I went through exactly what the OP and other guys have said on this post. When we met everything was great!! Little by little things started changing, she would become distant and depressive, but when she was ok the highs were extremely good.
When her grandmother died she told me she needed space and that was ir, but a couple of weeks later she wanted to get back together with me. This time we broke up for good and I still miss everything about her, but one needs stability in ones life and we decided to stay friends. I'd like to say it's not worth it but i'd be lying. I wish my ex would get help and when she straightens out her life i'd love her back in it. For now it's better to keep distance.
