A female Canada age 41-50, anonymous writes:

This is mostly a confessional.

I am fairly certain my boyfriend is about to dump me. I want to be as adult and fair about this as possible, even though I have some problems with our relationship, and I suppose with him.

As much as I want to confide in friends right now, I think it best that I wait until after my possible ex-boyfriend and I talk this Sunday.

This seems to be the most fair way, since we have a lot of mutual friends, and I don't want this to get messy, or go through the rumour mill any more than it has too. After we meet I will talk with my closest friends, but I want to avoid bad-mouthing him.

I guess I just need this space to vent, to confess, and keep this from being more complex than it has to be.

What do you think, agony relations? Should I take this approach? Keep quiet until after we meet, then only discuss once with close (non-mutual) friends? Is this maybe the ideal, but not a reality?

Yours,

Hoping for the best, preparing for the worst

A reader, anonymous, writes (16 October 2009):

Before he says anything, give him the withdrawal attitude. Don't call him or even answer his calls. Show him you don't care and let's see what he will do.

Some men wake up when they notice changes in their women and realize that they don't want a break up after all coz you are already showing to them what a break-up means. Just use reverse psychology.

I have had some gfs do that to their bf and I have done that too and it always works. When you do that, they will make a U turn and try to figure out what went wrong and will forget about breaking up with you.

Just a suggestion.
