Is this "friendship" break doable or should we take a real break to reevaluate our relationship?

Q.   My boyfriend and I are taking a friendship break (a break from our relationship, not talk except the day we would hang out once a week as friends, and not see other people) Hopefully for not more than 2 weeks. We love each, but fight a lot. So he ...

A.   3 November 2013: I have to agree with Honeypie. Taking a break, any sort of break, will not help the situation. If you love each other and want the relationship to work, then you have to talk about your issues. Unfortunately, if these issues cannot be resolv... (read in full...)

My boyfriend said "I love you" so quickly! How long does it take for them to know they're in love?

Q.   I'm 18 years old. My boyfriend and I have been together for 6 months. He told me he loved me for the first time very early in our relationship (2 weeks) and it kinda freaked me out how early he said that. For a while I just wouldn't say it back ...

A.   30 October 2013: I disagree with fatherlyadvice. I am not denying he may have strong feelings for you. But to love someone you have to know them inside and out...meaning knowing them along time. To say it only after 2 weeks is too soon, and very unlikely that he ... (read in full...)

I don't think she's the type to use someone, but that's how I feel

Q.   So, I've been talking to this girl since late July, and I have no idea what to do. We both have emotional concerns, and I care about her a lot, and like her quite a bit. However, we've only seen each other in person a few times, despite texting back ...

A.   27 October 2013: I agree with R1. She likes your attention, and compliments, but doesn't seem to want to take it any further than friendship. You could always ask her straight, if she has feelings for you more than friends....then depending on her answer, go f... (read in full...)

Him keeping his ex as a friend bothers me!

Q.   How can I stop worrying and stop being upset about my boyfriend's friendship with his ex girlfriend? Even though they had a bad break up and things got pretty ugly with them (she cheated on him a lot and they fought a lot) they both decided to ...

A.   12 October 2013: I think ex's can be friends, and JUST friends. However, I also think that this is something that happens over time following the break up. I am friends with some of my ex's, but I am not in constant contact, and we do not meet up for coffee e... (read in full...)

Beating myself up for immature mistakes

Q.   I was never a wrong person but some circumstances made me commit some really silly and immature mistakes. Like forcing myself to go out on a date just cause my trust on my boyfriend was lost. I never intended or had any desire to be with any guy. I ...

A.   12 October 2013: Yes, I agree with 'Starlights'. We have all done things we have regretted later, and we learn from our mistakes. Your boyfriend has forgiven you, so you need to forgive yourself. You aren't a bad person.... (read in full...)

Has anyone's ex come back after they've appeared to have moved on?

Q.   has anyone's ex come back after they've appeared to have moved on? kinda like "if its meant to be it will be" type thing? my ex jumped into another relationship only a couple months after he walked away from our relationship. we were very seriou...

A.   8 October 2013: I agree with the others. To make it work second time round, I believe that you have to know what went wrong in the first place for it to end, otherwise you will be making the same mistakes, and not moving past that. Don't sit around waiting for ... (read in full...)

Q.   Hello, I have a strange problem and I really hope I can find any answer for it or somebody who is having the same. So, everytime I fall in love and have a relation with some boy, he starts to have so much bad luck (for example lost work, broken lap...

A.   5 October 2013: Unfortunately, bad things happen all the time to anyone, at anytime....believe me, you are not the cause of these bad occurances. You aren't a bad person or cursed, like I said, unfortunately bad things happen sometimes. Don't think badly of you... (read in full...)

Why does my boyfriend still want to be friends with his ex...and could he still have feelings for her?

Q.   Dear cupid, My boyfriend has told me that the break up with his ex girlfriend who cheated still hurts him a lot. (It's been a year since they broke up). Could this mean he's still not over his ex? or is it just that he's not over the hurt it caused ...

A.   3 October 2013: I don't necessarily agree that ex' can't be friends. But I do believe this can only happen after you have moved on from one another romantically. He has even made it clear to you that he isn't over what she did to him. If he had truely moved on... (read in full...)

A.   30 September 2013: If you are wanting a serious relationship, then this guy isn't for you. He isn't looking for commitment of any kind. You are worth more than what this guy has to offer you, walk away, and find someone who is looking for what you want and need. ... (read in full...)

Is this just a lack or courage or a sign I shouldn't end it?

Q.   I'm struggling to let go of a bad relationship and need to know whether what I am feeling is normal? We've been together for over 4 years and I love him a lot, but we've had lots of problems in that time, mainly to do with the fact I've never ...

A.   30 September 2013: Hi OP. I have been here before. Its a hard decision because you love him, but you have already said you arent happy. I felt the same, but it won't change. I am sorry if that's not what you want to here OP, but you know you should end it. I... (read in full...)

Would you wish your ex a happy birthday?

Q.   She broke up with me and we've been no contact since she greeted me for MY birthday, two weeks after the break up. We've been friends for almost 6 years (on and off) before the romantic relationship. She contacted me only once after the BU, wh...

A.   30 September 2013: I don't see why you can't wish her a happy birthday. You are hardly going down on a bended knee begging for her back...you are only wishing her a happy birthday. I don't agree that ex's can't be friends, or should have no contact forever just bec... (read in full...)
