writes: Dear Cupid,I've just moved out of our home that I shared with my girlfriend of 3 years and her teenage son. Because of constant conflict between myself and the teenager I agreed to move out of our home so that we could work thru our issues. That was 2 months ago, since then my girlfriend has said to me that she wants to end the relationship. Since leaving, a close friend of my girlfriend is also breaking up with her boyfriend and has been giving my girlfriend some bad advice on our relationship. What can I do to have the chance to try and reconcile with her without the friend interfering ???

Stay away from them both. The " friend" is poison, and you are the victim, until she grows bored, and leaves your gf to find someone else's relationship to destroy. And, she will. Give it time. After three years, you might want to begin therapy with a marriage counselor, or " couples counselor", as I suspect that many of your difficulties stem from a core problem of communications between the two of you. The counselor can help you let your gf know that you are seeing a counselor, and convince her to join you to work out the problems. Stupid is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting a different result. You are not stupid, so its time for a change of approaches to your relationship. Moving out was a good move. Space often gives the parties to consider what is important in a relationship and what is just not. Now, a third party can be the best help to you both. pops
