Family & Relationships - 18 November 2007

I broke up with my ex-boyfriend over 6 months ago. This is my first Christmas/Thanksgiving alone in 4 years. As much as I knew breaking up with him was for the best I feel like things are still going downhill. He got a new girlfriend who he is happy with while I'm alone and having to sit through the holidays with a family in which every person has someone to spend it with. I'm not in college anymore, so meeting a new guy has been very difficult and I haven't managed to do it. Has anyone ever felt sad like this? How did you make it through, especially the holidays, alone? I just need something to get me happy and motivated...

I love him. But he said he loves me only as a good friend. I am very heart-broken. What made it even worse was when he said that it won't go beyond this ever.

Is it ever possible that he might feel differently down the line, if we continue to be just good friends?

Please answer honestly guys and please let me know if there is still a glimmer of hope here, or zero chance?

I want to start my own business. At first I asked my boyfriend to co sign for me a loan since I can't get one for personal reasons and at first he was okay with it then he changed his mind saying he doesn't think my business is a good idea! But I have complete faith in it. I was going to open up a dance studio that teaches ballroom dancing. I've been teaching it for a long time now but I work for someone else and I wanted my own business so I can make more and get my name out there. I told my ex, who is now just a friend, about it who is very well off and he said he will be happy to finance my business. I told my boyfriend about it and he got mad but I really want this and it's not like there is something going on between me and the old boyfriend. So is it okay for me to take the money then?

so my boyfreind and i have a great relationship... very in love.... great chemistry he is very caring... we basically haver our future mapped out and everything.

Our physical aspect of our relationship is just as great... great connecting sex and everything but he would always tell me his first serious girlfriend he was with for a few years was amazing at giving head....
Well i mean i do it, and i am not bad or anything but i am not crazy about it cuz i always feel like i am being compared.....?

I think a part of me resists because i dont like the thought of her coming in to his mind about hooking up... she is at the same college as us and is actually in some of his classes (they were high school sweethearts)

He says i am the best sex he ever had... but my head could use work.... I wanna work at it but i always get like anxiety problems because i dont want her to come back into his mind.... um help?

He's cool andwe're not the best of friends but I'd like to be friends with him, but we were both invited to a guy's party and we had instant messaged eachother and he said it would be cool if i'd come and stuff like that. He seemed like he had fun at the party and so did I but i found out later that head been texting another friend of mine before the party. He said that he had thought I was being a d*ck and that he was considering not going to the party just because I was going. He lied to my face and on IM and how do I know that he doesn't talk behind my back and lie to me? Should i stay friends with him or become simple acquatinces? Help?

He's not a perv or stalker or anything but if he just wanted casual sex, would you?

and now that he has remarried you try to do anything you can to stay in the middle of his life "because of the kids". (being sarcastic) I would love to hear honest answers from honest exes....tell me - I would love to know. Why do you cause so much grief in the midst of his new life and try to break up his new marriage.

Does a woman have to go to hell in back in order for you to know you love her? I am single, and I do want to be in a relationship, but I don't want drama. I have a two girlfriends who have been through so much with their men from braking up to making up, to each of them being with someone else. He admits he knows what it takes to make the relationship work, but will come around to doing it in his own time because no matter how long it takes he wants to be able to say “I did it“, and not she made me do it. These men would go from saying they love them unconditionally, but would often wonder if he wants to be with them at all if he had not put conditions on the love first, then the women would do the same thing as a defense mechanism. You go from having really amazing days/moments with him, but some days you wish you never met him, then one day he decides you are the love of his life, and ask you to marry him.

My fiance and I are planning a wedding in May. At first his mom seemed great with it. His dad was always trying to talk him out of marrying me. Then tonight my fiance's mom was drinking alot and she told my mom how we shouldnt get married. I just feel so unsupportive and it really hurts because I love his family and I thought they loved us together. All of my family is more than supportive. what do we do?

And right now at the moment there isn't a girl a like but I know one day soon that'll change. Anyways I sometimes would make the first move by putting my arm around the girl or holding her hand. Although it could lead to rejection I always feel like it's worth a shot. Something good might happen.

My fiance and I planned on a very, very simple Las Vegas wedding in March. It was just going to be the 2 of us.
We told a couple friends that we would be getting married, if they want to join us for some fun in Vegas, great. If they'd rather not spend the cash, that's fine too.
Now, it's out of hand. We have a list of folks who say they'd love an excuse to go to Vegas.
Does this mean, I'm stuck with a huge wedding /reception bill that we weren't planning on ?
What should I do at this point? I really feel bad about not having a huge reception, but that's not what we want.
We only want to get married, have a great time in Vegas, and come home.

I have a group of four friends. We are close and see each other all the time. One is getting married late next year. She has asked though only two of us to be bridesmaids, leaving me out. I feel upset and snubbed but am also understanding that it is her wedding and her choice. However, I still feel upset at the thought of the three of them all being in the wedding and on the day me being seperate. I don't know why I have been excluded and I don't think I should ask because I don't want to carry on but it still hurts a lot - I thought we were really close. What should I do? I feel like at the moment I don't want to see any of them because I feel too embarrassed at being excluded.

stop flirting with you without hurting his feelings? I like the guy, but I have no desire to be a home wrecker. But he flirts with me and it makes me uncomfortable cause if he wasn't married I'd consider dating him and hate having to constantly tell myself "no" because it is very flattering. How can I get him to stop cause it's driving me nuts!

My husband and I have been hanging out with another couple just about every weekend for a little over a year now. We're all really good friends. In fact, my husband and him have been best friends for about 10 years. We go places together. Our kids play together. All should be great! The problem is that I think my husband is sleeping with his best friends wife. Any time we're together, they always sit beside each other. They play around with each other. They're really touchy, feely with each other. I catch them staring at each other a lot and they act like they're sharing a private joke sometimes. Also, they always seem to find some reason to be alone together. Sometimes she has to ride with him to the store. Or he has to take something to her house "for his friend". It all seems a little suspicious to me. I've never seen anything really inappropriate happen between them. I just have a gut feeling there's more there than should be. How do I find out for sure? Help!

I was very attached to his mother (who is my grandma) when I was little, and she passed away with cancer when I was seven. Devastating as it was, my dad was fine the whole time, right up until they lowered her coffin into the ground. That was the first and only time I ever saw him cry. Now, nine years later, his father (who I'm also attached to) is about to pass away, of old age and medical ailments. My dad is just sitting in the living room by himself, silently watching tv, as though nothing is wrong.. but I know there is. What on earth should I say to him? I want him to know I'm there for him.. but it's hard to give a heartfelt speech to your dad..
