MY QUESTIONS
MY ANSWERS
  • Read your post. Really, read it as it was posted by someone else. Can you answer this person? Just take a piece of paper and do it! You are so wise. You are actually answering your own questions already by asking them. When your emotions are out of balance, you cannot really act as you. Whatever you feel is true. Do not ask him questions - ask yourself. Whatever he answers will not sound true because you already FEEL that he is NO LONGER being who he was in your relationship. 10 years is a long life span that he had experienced in the way you did not yet. It may be the time for you to grow up and try to live on your own. He gave you a great support when you needed. I am sure he enjoyed doing it. Be grateful and stand on your own. Life what you learned and be the women he taught you to be. This may lead to 2 positive results: he will see what he wants and comes to you You may feel free and happy on your own and find the love you are looking for. Find yourself WITHOUT HIM, then you can find the right Match! Here is my last article - it may give you some understanding: http://www.yourtango.com/experts/lana-pritzker/love-or-fear-what-really-happening-your-relationship SEE MORE

  • I just posted my new article :Fear or Love - read it. It may help. http://www.yourtango.com/experts/lana-pritzker/love-or-fear-what-really-happening-your-relationship Also, Looks like he still cares a lot. Instead of saying you can change, be the change, act and talk the way YOU WANT to change. It is all about YOUR fears, not his. What did you argue about? Was it worth it? If this is something important, tell him what were you scared about and he will understand. If it was not that important, tell him that. just let him know that you love him and what you argued about is not as important as your relationship. Guys are not listening to the words that much. They react to the actions. They are also scared of having nudging relationships (because they may already saw it in their parent's house. Find something he loves or interested in and do it together. Show that you are bigger then your words. Share an action and it will create a bigger connection then any promises you can make. People care when they share. Do not share fears and arguments. Share love and fun! SEE MORE

    POSTED ON: How do I get his love back.

  • Weight issues are complex and depend on what, when and how you eat and how you move. In addition, there is always emotional issues and emotional eating that may contribute to weight gain. I love these shakes and bars www.spritzker.isagenix.com because they are tasty, effective and allow you to eat what you want while you are also eating these products to cleanse your body and revive your metabolic process. It will take about 1 month (or you can do a fast track and do it in 12 days - a bit hard, really). In either case it will happen and and you will feel much better. this is a nutritional cleanse, so you lose fat, but gain muscle and your skin will not be hanging :-) Call if you need more information or a personal advice. It is complimentary and I am happy to help: 847 414 3730 SEE MORE

    POSTED ON: losing wieght

  • Ok, lets start from the beginning: Sometimes when people are hurt during breakups, they hide from pain by working long hours, food, drinks, etc... When the new relationship gets into the more intimate stage, the old fears of being abandoned, cheated on, etc... (whatever was a reason for the breakup) are being triggered and an old pain makes a person hide again. Most likely he does not understand why he is doing it. Because he loves you (according to your words), he finds a good reason to hide - he is working to support you. Being busy is not an issue here. When you are busy, you may not go out, yet you call, you text, you stay in touch because you WANT it. What you describe looks like hiding. If that is the case, he needs to resolve his old fears before moving on to the marriage. "So is it that he is still trying to get use to being in a relationship or trying to find a balance? or is it possible that our relationship can be too much for him?" Both, he may be trying to be present to you while he cannot be present to his own issues. He may want to help you without realizing that RIGHT NOW you need HIM, not his material manifestations. Become clear about what you want from him and become responsible for making your life work for you (like getting your new car without making him work for it) More information how to do that is here http://www.energy4action.com/index.jsp?pagename=ahmr.html "I just want communication,quality time and for him to let make me a bigger part if his life, sometimes I'm afraid that's to much to ask." Women strive on communication. Men thrive on solutions and problem solving. The more problems - the better they feel while solving them... to the point. If you demand too much, it may break the "camel back". Call him and talk about it - just they way you talk right here. Tell him the truth. Ask for help. Then tell what exactly you mean by help - see your own words and share this with him(" I just don't want to add stress when his job is that, I want our relationship to be the one thing that he can relax and not stress about. For that to happen we need time" Men need something to work on, to make a woman his noble cause. Women need to allow this to happen and reward him for his efforts. This will help him feel empowered and useful. At the same time, women need time to talk, share and allow solutions form naturally. Tell him that you value your time together more then anything else and ask him to make this his priority.

  • I would really ask yourself what it cost you to be with a person you do not love. lies, upsets, need to hide, not being able to be where you want to be when you want it. Blame, guilt, feeling victimized. These vibrations are not healthy for you and whoever else share the space with you. You feelings are not over-reactions - they are your guides. Take responsibility for for you feel, decisions you already made and the ones you are making right now. Your life is your business. Resolve the past and move on More info is here http://www.energy4action.com/index.jsp?pagename=ahmr.html It took you 14 years to get married and you left the marriage (falling in love with your lover) 1 year after you both committed to the life together. It feels it was a"settling for less" marriage and you might have found what you were looking for finally . If this is the case, working out something with a person you do not want to be with is useless. Even if you have kids, they feel your lies and attitudes, so keeping it going for the sake of the family is actually more detrimental them useful. I would also ask if being married is not for you. Not everyone is meant to be in a committed legal family structure and that is OK. If that is the case, just be honest about it and do not blame anyone for the choices you make. Good luck and blessings More info that can help you is here http://www.energy4action.com/index.jsp?pagename=aprograms.html SEE MORE
