A female reader, anonymous, writes (23 July 2011):

there's no such thing as a 'dead' relationship. if you interact at all, there is a relationship.

what you have is a bad/negative relationship. or a distant one, or a detached one. there's a difference. saying it's 'dead' makes it sound like it's passive, just there, beyond your control.

but acknowledging that it's bad/negative/distant, acknowledges that you are choosing to let this relationship be this way (if by the very fact of not ending it yet not improving it either).

Celest agony auntHello! I won't try to tell you that I know what is happening but it seems to me that you both have lost the respect between you. And this is what it comes after cheating, and it was both ways, unfortunately! And you started by writting exactly the words " I am in a dead relationship... " and this is a strong affirmation dear.. so let the memory of this relationship to rest in peace! Move on... it is the time to save something there, your self respect... Move on just simply... dont try to force anything.. let him know what is all about and walk away so you can both find the happiness again... and by the way if your relationship worth a chance, it will propably have one! Wish you the best and God with you both!!!

VSAddict agony auntYou should leave him and move on. He doesn't care about you as much as he should and he's not willing to communicate. So move on and find someone who makes you happy and cares if you're not happy.
