So I am left confused. My ex broke up with me twice. !st time stating we are way to different but still had feelings for me. Last time she said she wasnt sure of her feelings. I wanted some closure and asked her the faithful question why,she said I wasnt what she wanted.we have the same group of friends so we r cordial. Anyway couple weeks ago she has been very affectionate and we hooked up 2x, but recently I am being affectionate 2 but now she is acting uninterested and cold. What does it mean? — Anonymous

Thank you for sharing your situation. It’s important to watch how people behave in a relationship because it’s likely to be how they’ll act in the future. That means that you get to decide whether the way she’s acting now is the way you want to be treated.

In a healthy relationship, the people are clear about their feelings and actions and work hard to treat each other well and behave in positive ways. You might want to take some time to think about what kind of relationship you want and how you want to be treated and then decide what’s best for you.

Remember that you’re an important person and you deserve to be with someone who behaves in a healthy, balanced way and values who you are. Take care.

Thank you for sharing your situation. It’s hard to tell what someone else is thinking in a relationship without asking them directly. You might find it helpful to talk with him kindly and calmly and ask him for his perspective. Take some time to think about what you want to ask him and then talk with him when you both have time and there are no interruptions. Make sure to listen to what he says.

The idea is to communicate openly so that you can both get on the same page and understand what’s really going on in the relationship. It might take several conversations but, over time, you’ll both have more information on the situation.

Remember that you deserve to be with someone who wants to spend time with you and makes an effort to communicate clearly and openly. Take care.

Thank you for sharing your situation. It’s hard to end a relationship. It’s difficult to tell what he thinks or feels, the only thing you can know for sure is how he behaved in the past and what it led to.

It’s vital in a healthy relationship that both people be there for each other and share common goals. You can’t make things work when the other person, for whatever reason, is unable to work on things with you. You’re a valuable and important person and you deserve to be with someone who is completely there for you and is able to have a healthy relationship with you.

It’s always a good idea to try to be in a relationship with someone who doesn’t come with a lot of baggage of any kind. Ideally, they’re happy with themselves, independent, successful, healthy, balanced and ready to have a positive relationship.

You can’t do anything about what he did but you can take care of yourself. Make sure to celebrate who you are and keep learning and growing. Take a look at what worked and what didn’t and think about what you might do differently in the future. The idea is to not find yourself in another situation like this one.

The more you know yourself the more you’ll attract people who are fully there for you and completely available. Remember that you’re a wonderful person who deserves to be valued. Take care.



Alright, so I'm in this one year program and at the beginning I was dating my ex who I was with for about 6 years. I met this boy in the program, we started dating and we spent a lot of time together, especially since we see each other everyday due to having every class together. We dated for a while and it was okay, quite a few arguments due to bad communication, so he dumped me in early september. He came back 2 weeks later, we dated until a week ago, and he's dumped me again, should I give up sasharrr

Thank you for sharing your situation. You get to decide what you do in a relationship and how you deal with challenges in it. If communication is an issue, you might want to try communicating through listening. For example:

  • One person talks for up to five minutes.
  • The other person listens without reacting, interrupting, offering advice or fixing anything.
  • Switch sides and repeat.
  • Do this as often as it takes for each of you to listen to the other without getting into an argument.

It’s up to you whether you want to work on things. When you practice this type of excercise for a while, you’ll both get better at communicating and improve the relationship. It can help you tell each other what’s important to you without getting into an argument.

Take some time to think about what you want to do and then move forward. Remember that you deserve to be in a relationship with someone who is willing to communicate openly and who treats you wonderfully. You’re that important. Take care.



Hi, my ex keeps bothering me he says he doesn't want me back but still he's acting jealous and bossy over me. I've said it a thousand times that he needs to back off but it doesn't really seem to help. What can I do to make him get over it? — Anonymous

Thank you for sharing your situation. You can’t change how anyone behaves in a relationship (or when it’s over) but you can take care of yourself and let him know what you need. You might think about having as little contact as possible. If he asks you something answer as briefly as you can. Be friendly but be brief.

The thing to avoid is being drawn into a discussion or having to defend your point of view. If he talks to you, keep telling him what you need and move on. Make sure not to initiate any contact from your end. It’s also a good idea to tell people you trust that this is going on so that you’re not dealing with it alone. Behaviors such as jealousy and bossiness are red flags indicating the person has control issues and it’s a good idea to keep a healthy distance.

Some people don’t know how to deal with a break up. That doesn’t mean that you’re responsible for how they behave, they need to heal themselves. All you can do is remind him kindly of what you need. Remember to keep living your own great life along the way and treating yourself well. Take care.



Hi, my ex of 2 years left me 4 months ago because his parent's made it impossible for us/we argued because of it. He still has our photo's on facebook, I don't know why he hasn't deleted them? We agreed to be friends and he didn't bother when I tried :/ He wouldn't see me because "it would hurt too much" and he'l always "have feelings for me" I'm talkign to a guy i've known for 6 years who I have a connection with, I feel i'm cutting off any last change of my ex coming back? :/ Can you help? :/ — Anonymous

Thank you for sharing your situation. It’s hard to go through a break up in a relationship. You can’t control what he does but you can decide what you want to do. It’s always a good idea to do things that help you treat yourself well and live a great life. You might want to ask yourself a few questions to decide what you want to do, such as:

  • What does the way he treated me mean?
  • What do I want in a relationship?
  • How do I want to be treated?
  • What kind of person do I want to be with?
  • What worked in the relationship, what didn’t, and how did each affect me?
  • What am I doing to take care of myself?
  • What am I doing to live the healthiest and most balanced life possible without a significant other in the picture?
  • What decisions could I make right now that would have the highest possibility of helping me take care of myself?

Take some time to think about questions like these. Over time you’ll decide what’s best for you. The more you do to build yourself up the clearer your perspective will be. Remember that you deserve to be with someone who is drama-free and helps you live a positive life. Take care.



I'm currently dating a guy who i really enjoy spending time with because he's overall a really awesome guy. His the first guy who has been interested in me since my ex and the only guy who has paid me any attention other then friends. I'm not sure how he feels about me but im too scared to ask in fear that he thinks i'll be moving along to fast but i really like him and i want things to move along a little, his always very flirtatious and i don't know if i can trust him but i want too. — Anonymous

Thank you for sharing your situation. It’s always a good idea to get to know someone well in a relationship so you’re comfortable asking them or telling them whatever you want. You might find it helpful to continue spending time with him and getting to know him. Ask him questions, listen to him and tell him about yourself.

Over time you’ll reach a point where you’ll know him well enough that it won’t be difficult to tell him how you feel. You’ll also be building the relationship as you go along. The idea is to just be comfortable around the person so you can talk about anything.

It’s also OK for you to tell him how you feel. If he doesn’t feel the same way, you’re still the same great person and you can find someone who likes you romantically. If he likes you, then you both get to decide what the next step is. Remember that you deserve to tell people how you feel and be with someone who appreciates the amazing person you are. Take care.
