Me and my ex boyfriend had been together for 3 years when things started changing (that's how I came across your article, trying to find out how to win your ex boyfriend back. At first it was me who was feeling the cracks - things like we didn't go out very often and we had fallen into a weekly routine which made it feel like the sparkle was missing from our relationship.

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for almost a year and a half. We fell in love instantly and very deeply, for both of us it was faster and deeper than before, and we both never loved anyone so much. I wanted to follow up on your how to get a guy back article, particularly about long distance stuff.

Me and my ex were inseperable for 6 years, we were crazy in love, lived together, tried on rings. We were part of each other's family, we considered ourselves a 'little practice family'. He found me when I was, more or less, homeless and kind of a loser. He invested in me, got me back on my feet, it was wonderful. I went back to college, got a full scholarship and have done phenomenally. We had planned to marry after college and went house shopping.

Why is my boyfriend so hot and cold all the time?

I read your article on how to get your ex boyfriend back. I would love some help if you have time. My situation is a little different. I met an older man online through a website that we both had the same interest in four months ago. He's in his late 30s, I'm in my 20s. We started emailing generally for about a month then we caught each other online. The first few times we chatted for a couple hours and neither of us even usually chatted.

After one argument, my boyfriend says he wants to break up

I'm having a bit of a hard time and I need some good advice and reassurance. Tuesday of this past week, my boyfriend and I were fine and all. Suddenly, we started arguing and then he said he wanted to break up because he is tired of being on a roller coaster, because we had been arguing and stuff for a couple months. We've been dating for almost a year and a half. We are juniors in high school.

Okay, so prior to reading your article, I broke all of the cardinal rules. Of course I did. But, this is what happened. My ex boyfriend and I have known each other for years, but we have been dating for a short amount of time. Within that time. I'd lied to him about a coupled things, I don't really have an excuse other than the fact that I was scared to become attatched to someone. I didn't want to end up hurt, so I always ran from te problems.

I've just recently found your page and everything you have written i could relate to and i was wondering if you could give me some advice on my situation? I have been with my boyfriend for 18 months and i can honestly say have never been so happy or found someone i have such a connection with. In January he started a new job which meant longer hours but he promised that our relationship would stay strong and it did, until he met a girl on a night out and they've kept in contact. Obviously i was hurt and jealous but he promised me they were just friends.

I overreacted to my boyfriend going on vacation

My boyfriend and I had dated for almost a year and a half. We lived together for four months. He broke up with me in May. He had a valid reason for breaking up with me. I was a cutter and severely depressed. I would demean him for insignificant things. I told him I hated him. I put him through hell and isolated myself. He said he couldn't handle the stress of wondering whether I would be alive when he got home or not. He said he wasn't good for me.

Steps to get back my boyfriend?

Steps to get back my boyfriend?

I am worried that if i ignore him he will think i have moved on.

Just recently my boyfriend broke up with me. I made the mistake of crying to him about it. He still talks to me though whenever i text him. He always answers back. He even answers when we talk on the phone. Throughout the relationship we never had a fight, everything is perfect. He told me that he loved me and wanted to marry me and we even went to look at rings. He is the guy that i have been waiting for my whole life and he is everything that i have ever said that i have wanted in a guy. When he broke up with me he actually started crying when he first saw that i was crying.

Jealous of my son's father

Jealous of my son's father

He broke up with me last week saying he didn't feel like he could trust me.

I had been with my boyfriend almost 2 years. He broke up with me last week saying he didn't feel like he could trust me because I still have contact with my son's father. My sons father doesnt pay support so in exchange he offered to help give me money for household bills and such when I needed. I took advantage of this only a few times, but I didnt tell my boyfriend about it. He has been extremely jealous of my sons father the entire time weve been together, almost threatened.
