Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

Anyone else having relationship issues since conora? Anyone know if divorce rate has increased?

Hi folks, looking for recommendations of a nanny/manny or night nanny/manny. Located in Denver. Thank you!

My SO told me he wanted to take a break and I told him that we should rather break up for good but never heard back from him. During the break, I met couple of guys and things happened. Now my SO wants to be back in my life and I told him what I have been up-to. I gave him the classic “But we were on a break” line and he got more upset. I don’t think our relationship is salvageable at this point. It feels so weird few months ago we were so madly in love and now we are in this situation.

My boyfriend is always on his phone when I approach him to talk about something enthusiastically like may be an incident at work or the vacation details I have planned for us. It’s not like he doesn’t listen to me, but instead of having an eye contact, he is always scrolling through Twitter or some app on his phone. It hurts me and makes me feel unloved/angry. Is this normal for guys? What should I do? Please help.

Hey ladies, how would you like to get proposed to? In front of family and friends or in a more intimate location? Or would you prefer it be done in a more exotic or exciting location?

people who broke up after a long, live-in relationship - how did your friends react? neighbors? did you move buildings/neighborhoods/cities? i’m just so hung up about this…

Married 🐠 interested in your thoughts.
I married my girlfriend from college after being together for an extended time. We love each other, and I feel like we are each other’s best friend. But now I can’t help but feel guilty for regretting that the “passion” is gone from our relationship. I’ve always prioritized stability and now I can’t help but wonder what it would have been like to sow more wild oats. My sense is that this is not uncommon but I am not sure how to feel/what to do about it.

I moved to Philly from Chicago burbs for my current job in 2017. Love working for this company. They believe in employee growth and put in their time effort and money behind their current employees. 2020 has been though, I still have my job but have never missed my family this much. Since we’ve been working from home, I’ve stayed with family for couple of months. Now I don’t feel like living away from them. Just confused between family and career. Any advice?

Any other only children out there having weird relationships with their parents? Feels like every time I call them I’m not doing enough with my life, yet neither of my parents worked in my industry. I dread communicating with them, my energy gets drained and I feel unsupported. Help!

People with kids, how much do you spend on daycare?

Are you the SO that works long hours but your partner doesn't, or vice versa? How do you make sure to dedicate enough time to your partner when your working hours differ quite drastically?

Current working as a Director of Sales and Marketing at a large hotel chain. I am now trying to branch out to a work from home position as I have a special needs bonus daughter who we now have every other week 💜. Would love to find something full time from home within the industry, or in the travel market so I can be with her.

29F. I’ve become burnt out on spending my free time with people I don’t enjoy being around (i.e people who I feel relieved to leave after spending time with them). With that said, I’ve started to distance myself from my dad, 2 aunts, childhood best friend, and other friends. Has anyone gone through something similar? I just can’t get myself to muster the energy to be fake when I’m around them, but I feel guilty that I’m basically cutting them out of my life and am nervous I will regret doing so.

what are the biggest red flags in a distance relationship? I would say being spotty on communication is the biggest one for me.

I often wonder why I initially send clients anything since I know they’ll end up asking for the documents over and over throughout the year. It’s K-1 resend season now. Anyone else dealing with the season?

Are there any workout classes that help you bulk up? Or is the only way to gain a lot of muscle is to lift heavy weights/consume a lot of calories/protein. I enjoy workout classes but feel like I always lose weight taking them and I have a hard time focusing at the gym on my own. Not sure if hiring a trainer is the best option in this case

I hate that I still want to hear from him. I just have no idea what I want him to say or what I want to say. I feel like if I get anywhere near him he’ll be able to sense my pain. Are we sure the no contact rule is only 21 days? I feel like I need 21 months.

It’s been 5 weeks and I haven’t gone a day or night without crying and feeling haunted by them. I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t produce quality work, can’t find joy in anything I previously loved. This is the worst physical and psychological pain I’ve ever experienced.

It’s week 5 for me of the breakup and even though I had a full and fun weekend with friends and people I love, I woke up today so so sad because I wanted to text my ex. I just feel overall so defeated and exhausted from sadness and unmotivated at work :(

I made a mistake. I talked with the ex this morning. He said he misses me. And that while he walk talking to the other woman, he wished he was talking to me instead. And when he saw that I didn’t respond to his texts, he drank a shit ton. And then called this morning.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I need to block him.

He sent me a happy birthday GIF last night. Couldn’t even be bothered to type a message. It made me happy and angry at the same time. I’m not responding.

I felt like a walking zombie during thanksgiving, barely eating and barely talking. My family is small and I told them ahead of time my relationship ended. I focused on my niece and nephews, cried when I wanted to and slept from 8pm-noon for the last 5 days. Showered once or twice. That’s the best I could do and that’s OK right now. I’m back in my apartment, just trying to take it one day at a time, and not re read his texts too much. My birthday is Thursday 🙄

I know this is a different kind of heartbreak, but I just had to make the difficult decision to go no contact with my parents after years of toxic and narcissistic behavior. It’s a weird feeling of immense sadness but also freedom. Can anyone else relate?

Is going through a “hoe phase” an appropriate response to a break up? On one hand I think it’s good to get out of your head, but on the other hand it might be used to avoid the core issue.

I ran into my ex a couple days ago and it’s just all screwed with my head. We are kinda talking and he invited me to his company holiday party to be his +1.

And then he’s been ignoring me.

3 months post breakup… I seemed to be healing well and all the sudden this week I took a huge step back and feel heartbroken all over again. For context I was in a 4 year relationship including 1 year engaged and had to call my wedding off due to his infidelity. How can I shake this? 😔

He left 3 weeks ago. He’s still my first thought every morning, and I think about him for hours everyday. Normal? When does it go away?

Alright it’s been 21 days of no contact. Fastest and longest few weeks since lockdown 😞 I know it’s not an exact science but I’m curious on the statistics…who’s heard from their ex after a breakup and how long after?

I ended my relationship of 6 years about 3 months ago bc he said he might regret not having kids later down the line. we were always on the fence but I’m leaning towards no. It hurts so much having to walk away from an otherwise perfect relationship. Wish this was easier…
