• I hear you making a lot of excuses for your boyfriend. Even if the purse incident was an accident, he should not have had any problem apologizing. It should have come freely. The fact that you had to beg for an apology is a very bad sign. You need to take these 'red flags' seriously. This aggression will only get worse with time, not better. If he doesn't recognize it as a problem and take the initiative to get help with it, you are in big trouble. I would suggest you take care of yourself by leaving this relationship immediately.

• I would strongly suggest that you get some support of help in coping with the fact that your children NEED a relationships with your ex. If you get in the way of that, you will become the 'bad guy' and will jeopardize your relationship with them. If you allow them to have free access to their father, they will feel free to develop their own ideas about who he is. You need to understand why you feel jealous, competitive, insecure, etc., because to project that onto your children will be to make them feel responsible for your feelings. This will come back to haunt you. SEE MORE

• The fact that you said you're into solitary pursuits somewhat answers this question. You might have some fears of closeness and therefore, be putting up barriers to guys getting close to you without being conscious of it. I would ask my friend why she thinks I'm not cut out for relationships. It sounds like you have a lot of personal strengths and appeal, but you may have some conflict around intimacy. We often project that ambivalence and people pick up on it and respond accordingly. They avoid us because that's the message we're conveying (unconsciously). SEE MORE

• This is not about manipulation. There are many possible reasons why she might have reacted this way, including discomfort with you attention/interest, fears of hurting you, etc. Ask her directly. She might have a very good explanation. SEE MORE
