I was in a 11 year relationship with my ex.  After we broke up we continued to talk and text regularly. The end of our relationship was pretty ruff but both of us thought we just needed to sort things out and we would get back togeather.  We have now been apart for a little over a year and have had numerous discussions about our relationship but he says he isnt ready to be back in something serious.  He also says he misses me but doesnt think he is good enough for me right now.  I tell him that isnt true and being apart has givin

Can I get over him and move on or am i giving up a second chance?

I was deeply involved with a guy for 5 years. Then I had to move away to another country for work related reasons. During that time we did continue to meet intermittently and talk daily on skype. Before i had met him he had been inrelationship with another girl for 4 years, and then they broke up and she left the country. However, he continued talking to his ex. A few months back he informed me that he is marrying his ex, and would like to continue interacting with me as friends. I broke off with him and have'nt spoken to him since then.

Transitioning to a LDR

6 months ago I began dating my boyfriend who is several years older then I. He was recently offered a job in San Francisco working for Apple while I am still finishing undergrad in another state. Although we have not been together long, I love him very much and have found something very special in him and think it would be a shame to end our relationship only for the distance. How do I decide whether to pursue this LDR?

Should I call her?

My girlfriend recently broke up with me, she's calling it a break. I cant get her out my head and I constantly wonder if she feels the same. I really miss her but I want to give her a call, would it be fair/ok to give her a call? To at least see how she's doing?

This is silly, but I feel like I should at least ask

There's this guy and we sort of have something going on, but there's nothing official. Anyways, this weekend I inv
ited him over to my place to watch movies. And he said he would love to come over. My question is, what kind of movies do you watch with a guy you really like? I don't want to watch something overly romantic.
It's a silly question, but I'm really not very well movie-cultured and I just thought I'd ask.

Help me with High-Risk Behaviors! Im starting to recognize them

but learning to control them or stop before I do or say something is another story. It's like I have two people inside me! One is nurturing, domestic and wants nothing more than to build a place called home with my lover, a FAITHFUL,kind mate, and a reasonable life together with him. What I HAVE, is mostly insecurities, homelessness, infidelity and poverty. I find myself out late alone, broke from gambling & trying to kill the pain of my unfaithful lover. What is a  "Love Addiction"?

My Boyfriend is still associating with his ex

I don't know whether this is foolish, so I need your decent answers to this.


My boyfriend is keep in touch with many girls and with his ex-girlfriends. He refuse to tell me, what they are talking and refuse to show me his phone, calls and messages. He can access my FB account and he don't like me getting closer to other guys, but he is not giving me his password to his any account, I think he is flirting girls through them.
