Is there still hope?

Without getting into all the nitty gritty details. My long term boyfriend and I want to get married but sometimes we have trouble communicating. If we can't work through this issue we both know that this is going to be a deal breaker. He recently again to go to couples therapy with me to try and work through this issues. Is there still hope? I wonder if he is just doing this out of guilt or because of history. But then again if he wanted to leave would he even agree to go???

Update: November 19, 2009.
YES! And I admit it's mostly on my side...I want to do better. I hope things work out. Thanks!

To text or not to text!!

We live in times where some people would rather send a text rather than dial the number and talk to the person.

How would you handle a relationship where he disses you via text?

HAve you ended a relationship via text?

How can I choose between two guys?

One is my boyfriend and we get along great but he is a really big flirt. He makes me laugh and i like him but we also don't really talk a lot. The other guy is sweet and wants to ask me out but he starts a lot of drama and smokes (which he lied to me about); two things i don't like. However i think im starting to like him. Which should i choose?

I am new here. ok, so here goes it.

I am crazy about this girl I met at the gym 2 months ago and she is obviously crazy about me. I care about her so much and when she looks into my eyes i melt for her. I want so badly to ask her out, kiss her and hug her and i know she is waiting for me to ask. I can see it in her eyes and she asks me to call her/text her all the time. i don't or when i do its short and cold. the reason: my life is under construction right now and I need to focus on me so I have kept my distance. I am sure she probably thinks i am a player or she thinks i have a girlfriend. she is single and I wants her to find someone who can give her what she deserves.

AM I BEING SELFISH? what is wrong with me??

I thought I could treat her as just a friend by not kissing her, or flirting with her or making her aware that i am so attracted to her beauty(she is beautiful, a one of a kind beauty inside and out) but I don't think I can handle being friends. should i tell her i can't be friends with her, although i know she wants more then that, well darn, that doesn't make sense. "i am sorry I can't be friends with you because I want to be with you as much as you want to be with me, so I am sorry we should probably just go our own way because i am a very stupid man and _______________________ _____________________"

help. this is not funny. wtf is wrong with me.

Breaking up is so hard.. 2 weeks later, I still miss her. What can I do to move on?

OOC: I'm trying to post this in 'Dating' but it keeps going to Sex & Intimacy.. sorry if this posts there again...

I've been in breakups before (unfortunately).

This relationship was only 4.5 months and it started off great... very physical though. She had just gotten out of a four year relationship.. and we had broken up 3 times (for good reason) and I had dumped her, but she came back. She was verbally abusive to me and manipulated the shit out of me (as I've been told by friends who 'observed' my relationship). Finally after the third breakup she told me she needed space. I gave it. Then we got back together. For the day, everything was fine. She goes home... the very next day she broke up with my via face book. We did argue and some hurtful things were said on both sides. She removed me as a friend on FB and all my friends she met.. blocked me, claimed to have blocked my number... etc, etc... a bad breakup. I've respected her space, etc... when I see her on campus (she takes a class across from my office) we do not acknowledge each other.

...but for heaven's sake, it's been ~9 days since she broke up with me via facebook and I can't get the girl out of my head. wtf...

I've been flirting with an ex who seems still interested in me, but I'm taking that slow.. and immersing myself back in the gym (weight lifting - used to be pretty serious) and have been going out with friends.. I'm not even looking for a relationship or a one night stand. I'll have my good moments, but also my bad ones... right now, as I type this.. I want to scream out and shout how much I miss her.

I know she had a few of the qualities I wanted in my ideal significant other, but her manipulation (as everyone who 'observed' us told me she was to me) and her verbal abuse (she ALWAYS yelled at me - I never once raised my voice to her).. she had been cheated on in the past by the majority of her boyfriends. There definitely was a trust issue with her... but I would never have cheated on her. I didn't. Not even the very thought.

Somehow, she, to play off her mistrust in me, would mildly flirt with this guy (who she JUST met) - and I told her it made me uncomfortable... she let me know that my female friends (of whom I've known for 3+ years) made her uncomfortable...

We haven't spoken for about 2 weeks and I know time will heal this... I gave her back all her stuff and ripped up the love notes she wrote me. I had to - to sever any ties. She isn't right for me. She (through her roommate, a friend of mine) gave me back everything... (gifts, my clothes, etc, etc)...

It certainly is finished and part of me expects her to contact me before the end of the semester... part of me doesn't. Part of me wants her to... part of me doesn't.

This is NOT healthy.

Why do ladies assume that if a man can leave, he will leave?

For example: take the man that doesn't want, marriage, children or co-habitation. He could leave his relationship any time he got ready to with no real strings attached. That doesn't mean he will or even wants too. Yet every time I've told a woman I don't want these things even if we are in a long term relationship, she automatically assumes I'm waiting for something better to come along so I can up and leave. (has utterly convinced herself in most cases) Even though I've given her NO signs of leaving. When I'm in I'm in till the end. Just my own personal code

So why do ladies assume that if a man can leave, he will leave?

Men please tell me why a man would say this and is there a meaning to it?

Your talking to a woman that you have dated recently (mutual split) and you ask if your out of her system and she says yes (you weren't to happy about it but accepted it). Then a week or so down the line you speak to her and you make a reference about you being out of her system ( in a joking way) and she say "well actually your not" . She says that she thought you were and but your not. She says she was just so angry (didnt say it to hurt you)with the situation and thought she was over you. Now she knows she is not.

Here is my question; Why would he say well im gonna go with the first response ( yes your out of my system). I asked why would he go with that. I ask why and he kinda blew it off.

Guy if tha were you why would you say that?
