I need a place to call for free for relationship problems with my boyfriend of five years please?
anything like a hotline is okay

My fiance and I are having our problems. We’ve been together for over 2 and a half years, and we still love each other. The only problem is, he’s been acting like a bit of a d**k to me since around January of this year. He forgot our 2 year anniversary. He refused to come over and comfort me when my grandfather died. When I found a lump in my breast, he didn’t want to talk to me about it. It seems that when everything is not going swimmingly, he wants to steer well clear of me.

It all seems a bit doom and gloom and emotionally abusive, I know. But we do have our good times. It just seems a bit like I’m going through a lot of emotional strain just to keep this relationship afloat. Every time we see each other, I end up in tears, be it through something he has said or done, or not.

So, a few months back, I suggested a trial separation. I thought that if we went on a break, we would perhaps realise that the problems we’ve been having aren’t worth all the hurt, and we would see how much we truly loved each other. On the other hand, we might actually realise that we are happier when we are not together, and that perhaps seeing other people – or even just being single for a while – would be better for both of us. He, however, point blank refused. He insisted that a week after the separation had begun, I would find out how great it was to be free and single, and I would dump him without a moment’s hesitation. He insisted that there were other ways to solve our relationship problems. That, however, was at least 3 months ago.

So all I’m asking is, has anyone undergone a trial separation and found that it helped to deal with a lot of the problems in their relationship? Have you gotten back together with your partner with a new-found passion and deeper sense of the love you once shared? If so, how did it work? How long were you separated for? Did it involve any contact at all? Did you give them back all their belongings before the break began? Like I said, I do stil love him, and there are a lot of reasons for us to stay together. But, on the other hand, I still haven’t forgiven him for the big screw-ups which I have previously mentioned (first paragraph). I desperately want our relationship to work out again, but I just don’t know what we should do.
I missed this out when I wrote this a few days ago, but I do kind of understand why he may not want to deal with me when I’m going through a rough time. I have anxiety and depression, and I do break down and cry quite a lot. He tries to help in these (quite menial) situations, but I always lash out at him. I really know that I shouldn’t, but… I don’t know. Anyway, because I throw his advice back in his face when he tried to help me with small issues, perhaps he feels like he hasn’t a hope of being able to deal with me when something big and important happens. I know I’m not a poor, helpless little victim – I think we abuse each other. This trial separation wasn’t meant to be a punishment to him. It was meant to be a learning experience for both of us, so that we could both treat each other better. But I understand that a trial separation may not be the key. In which case, should we go for couple’s counselling? It is expensive, but do you reckon it would do the trick?

I’m having some relationship problems and i just need to talk to someone who can offer me unbiased advice. I’ve searched for days and all i can find is sites that i have to pay to use, and well i’m broke. Can someone help me please?

i’ve already found a few… but i need a couple more accurate sources.

articles that talk about how divorce effects children.

Specifically whether it makes the children more pron to having relationship problems as they grow up.

Thanks so much

We as a couple have deep relationship problems that includes sex as well. We want to get help from a counselor. Now what exact is Couple counseling and sex counseling. Are these two different things? Also how do you differentiate between them. When I looked for couple counselors in my area on Google, I found quite a mixed results.
Please guide me to search what I need. Thanks in advance.

Having relationship problems. Considering couples counseling and possibly individual therapy. Has anyone taken part in either and experienced success?

I want a job where I can help people with relationship problems. I’d like it to focus possibly on sex therapy. Or some kind of sex education. I think sex is a important part of any monogamous relationship and that a happy sex life leads to a happy home life. Also informing people about the benefits and dangers of sex. Is there any job that would suit these interests?
Something I can go to school for. (Not a prostitute.)

Most of the people having relationship problems has to do with catching something on the internet from their spouses or significant other, whether is on face book, single’s sites, porno, etc…..

Do you also believe the internet is taking away a lot of quality time from relationships, and that might contribute to separations and even divorce?

I know that there are a lot of couples who seek marriage counseling to straighten out their relationship problems. I can’t help but wonder why, though. Obviously these people aren’t making each other happy, so why do they even bother? Personally, I see nothing wrong with cutting one’s losses and leaving a miserable situation. After all, the main point in life is to be happy, and if a thing or a person makes you unhappy, the best thing you can do for yourself is remove it/him/her from your life as much as possible.
