A.   15 October 2009: I wasn't trying to control anyone on this website. I read many of the posts posted on this website and most of the answers I see automatically is "break up." I simply don't think that with every little problem someone has, it should lead to a break ... (read in full...)

A.   14 October 2009: You're not a failure. You said it yourself, you use to be a straight A student. You still are, just at the moment, you're sad. Do you not like the new school you're in? Why'd you transfer? If possible, can't you transfer back..?... (read in full...)

14 years down the drain because she's confused?

A.   28 September 2009: I honestly think you two should talk more about this before calling it off. She's your world, clearly. And she still cares for you very much since she had the decency in telling you instead of cheating on you. Find out if this is just a temporary ... (read in full...)

A.   27 September 2009: If the fact of her having a baby from someone else doesn't bother you, and you're willing to be with her, why does she have to break up with you? If she loves you and you love her as much as to not even leave, which is great of you especially at a ... (read in full...)

A.   21 September 2009: No, I don't think you overreacted. He really should have waited for you. Or gone to get you if he knew your car broke down. If you don't want that type of relationship anymore, simply leave it. I don't think you should suffer anymore. If you do ... (read in full...)

A.   19 September 2009: I like to think once you're engaged with someone, you can start living with that person immediately after you two get married. But that'll be pretty tough to do at the age of 16/17 considering the bills of living in a house, balancing school and a ... (read in full...)

A.   6 August 2009: Did he talk to her the time you two were dating? That could be why he didn't brag about you to her. Maybe he is trying to get you jealous, but if you're not, simply say "Congratulations," and hopefully he'll stop talking about her if you haven't ... (read in full...)

A.   14 July 2009: Maybe I explained it sort of wrong- I wrote it upset.. It hurts to know at any time of the day, he could be talking to her. It leaves me extremely uncomfortable, a feeling I know quite well that I’ve experienced before. That feeling is one o... (read in full...)

A.   13 July 2009: This is my belief: Once a cheater, always a cheater. If you forgive him now, he'll think it's okay to cheat since nothing happened between you two. I don't think anybody wants a boyfriend who cheats on them. Nobody should have that kind of ... (read in full...)
