Ok, so we have decided to remain separated. I found out that the "friendship" was definitely more than what he lead me to think. I do believe that they have not slept together, but from reading the text messages they were making plans. I confronted him about it and the answer that was given was that with everything going on between us, things just got confusing between them; nothing more. I find this very difficult to accept. They have been talking everyday for months, and something like that isn’t a blur. But anyway, I know a lot of people who have been married a lot longer and have been through the toughest situations and are still together. I am trying to hang on, but felt it best that we separate to see if being together is what we really want. Now, I know he is still talking to her, and he told me he was going to be doing the "bachelor thing". So now that we’re not living under the same roof and have an understanding that we’re separated, what are the rules, if any? How does this whole being separated thing work??
We do have children, and he told me that he would not be willing to go to counseling

My boyfriend and I broke up, and he still wants to continue spending time with me. I told him that it’s best that we don’t because we need to get over the past and move on e.t.c. We argued over it and he started getting upset so I gave in. We have hung out a few times since and while he is a really awesome guy and I still love his friendship, it’s making things hard for me because it’s reminding me of all the little things that contributed to our break up.

I know that if I tell him that we can’t see each other he will become depressed and sad, because he said that I was his first love and not seeing me is the hardest thing. Should I still tell him that no, I can’t continue to see him like this or what?? I don’t want to hurt or upset him because he is so kind to me.
to "ancient gear master" – stop making childish assumptions. If you have to know, he is really possesive and controlling which destroyed our relationship in the end. Happy now??? Get YOUR facts right before you let YOUR irrelevant problems out on Yahoo answers lol

I want my boyfriend to get mental health counseling but he won’t. How do I force him to seek help without issuing an ultimatum? How do I tell him that I don’t love him and never will without losing a friendship? At this point I barely like him. He keeps thinking that I will marry him one day but that will never happen. He desperately needs professional help. I am ready to leave, one of my suitcases are already packed.

I basically have to tell a really great guy that we can only be friends because of an unexpected bomb he dropped on me. I don’t know where to do this at, or how to phrase things in a way that we can still hang out.

Story: I met this amazing guy at a show a few weeks ago. We really hit it off and have been going on dates here and there these last few weeks. He’s only lived in the same state as me for a few months, and moved out here for a change from the small town he’s originally from. He told me that his current roommate was one of his best girl friends that grew up with him in the same town he came from. On the last date we had a few days ago I had made a joke about him being secretly married…and that’s when he mentioned that he was definitely not married, but that his current roommate was truthfully his ex-girlfriend. Sigh….

We’ve only been on a few dates, but with things rapidly getting more serious, his timing for this news made sense. I do appreciate that he was honest with me, but was definitely disappointed that he left out the gf part. Even if he was to break his lease, it’s only been a little over a month since they realized they needed a break/to stop seeing each other, and I know he still thinks highly of her. No matter how sweet he is with me, I don’t see how you can get over your ex when you still live a life that is dependent on them. I enjoy being around him and don’t want to lose his friendship, but there is no way I could jump into a relationship with him the way that things are.

He’s already planned our next date….So do I go on that date and say how I feel at the end? Or should I ask to meet up somewhere else and casually bring it up then? We usually meet at an in between location since we live slightly far from each other. He’s extremely nice and easy going, so I think if I keep it casual it should be ok. I just don’t know when/where to break the news at…..
All of my breakups up to this point have somehow ended easily and friendly. I’ve never had to turn a guy down like this.

So i’m sorta kinda in love with my best friend. Uhm we dated once for a week back in april, but he broke up with me because we were too much of "friends" and whatever guy reasons there are. well i’ve dated a couple other guy’s and no matter what, when something goes wrong with the other guys, all signs point to my best friend. it’s been about three months since i told him i still had feelings and i think he’s forgotten it by now. but he has this new girlfriend and he’s really into her i suppose, and i hear. i mean he’s my best friend. he goes on and on about her. i just want to know what i should do. should i tell him how i feel? i don’t want this to ruin our friendship. should i wait until he’s single again? that could be forever. i’m so completely in love with him and he has no idea. help? advice? please?

I havent been intimate with a woman for unbearable periods of time.
How do I pop the question from the stage I got the woman’s phone number?
I dont want to be abrupt or rude but Im too honest.

Like today, was having a phone conversation with a woman and I wanted us to both find out about each other.
So I told her that Im healthy and I like women with high sex drives.
And I asked her what she liked and she wouldnt say anything.
Then she wouldnt take my calls.

Maybe shes not really compatiable with me.
Where then can I find women who know what they want.
Friendship is fine too but I like to know where they stand and what they want and not have to play some mind-guessing game.

Whenever I try to converse with women at the university, I always receive "are you hitting on me look". This is madness, I just want friendship! How can I approach women without them thinking that I am looking for intimacy?

I’m just curious what has happened to your friendship/relationship if after a breakup your ex told you that they would like to stay friends? Were they true to their words? Or why did they say it?

Im 13 in 7th grade, and i made a HUGE mistake. At the beginning of the year, i asked out a cute girl who i did not really build a relationship, bacause i was kinda depressed. i kinds thought she liked me. she would talk to me, and make jokes wit me, but after i asked her out, and she rejected me by saying "eew" (not kidding) everything fell apart. she doesnt talk to me or anything, and barely looks at me. in the mean time, people are taunting me from when i asked her out 5 MONTHS AGO!!!! How can i stop the taunting by much more popular kids who have gone out with like 5 people in a month. and will i ever have another chance with her? how can i build even a friendship from "ground zero?" even if it is in a couple of years, she is worth it.
(and for anybody who is going to tell me im too young, go answer another question)
Thank you
Joey
