I am a technology sales rep that am at the mercy of the companies I work for and in the last 8 years I have worked for 5 companies, and in that time might have been unemployed for a total of 4 months. that feels great. The last year i found myself crying each time after we had sex (which was rare) and i kept saying things these past few years to hint that babies or marriage is not for me-Just didnt want to rock the boat i guess, i was okay in a way just passing time without dealing. Look how youre acting. Get him to an addictions specialist asap!! Im in the same boat as you exactly I dont know what else to do I love him he dont love me we have two kids together he doesnt feel he will ever love me again like he used to have you found anything that helped you if so please let me know!!! He is being patient with me as I battle these emotions that he has created. Is my husband going to marry this co worker and their going to b live happily ever after. Hi Dr Deb . Everywhere I go Im with couples and i can barely handle it and a few times i have ended up crying if I drink. If she really loves you, why does she want to date other people? Is he happy? I had to accept his new life abroad and now we are back together. One day , i ask him, are you wary of me? it seems like he wont be able to get that out of his mind right now. Arguments were bad. He loves me very much i know. Dump the guy if he is more concerned for himself than you. I dont want to push him further away by doing the wrong thing. So we are taking the tough challenge to rebuild. Dear Dr. Deb I dont have to have him pointing telling me how I should do things when I do not trust him either. She says as of right now we are not together but she doesnt know what the future holds for us. Hi Dr. Deb Hi Torn Yes, it would be possible to fall in love with this man provided you have a highly skilled therapist or perhaps you both take my course. Then I found messages from him and his ex off Facebook, I could only see what she wrote and she said your happy with jess and Im working things out with my baby daddy. He came into my life unexpectedly. I felt shocked that she could treat me this way, but I also felt so much guilt for arguing in the first place. 3 years ago my feelings changed, and everyday since than Ive tried to get them back. but then i found out that she was someone from a party he went to while i was on vacation. He sought a separate counselor just to deal with the general hurt and to come to terms with acceptance. Why is that? I know hes depressed about his career life and said he cant love anyone until he loves himself and cant be in a relationship right now. The pain hes dealt me is like nothing Ive ever had before. Hello DrDeb, 4. And I then I end up on the couch for days at a time. She got mad and asked me why I would do that and dont we both deserve to be happy if things cant be fixed. I recently lost everything. You dont actually ask a question. He has been wonderful and pays for everything he showers me with gifts, I see a sincere change in him but I cant drop my guard. Hi Uncertain, WE literally had a wonderful six months before this one fight. I love this man really do I know I need to open up more.he needs to be at home with me be sweet my man is really hard on me he gets upset cause I dont talk to him about my goals or plans BUT I dont have any that he doesnt know. I asked if he knew she was here? It has been two months and I am depressed. I am so crushed at his behavior and how easy it is for him to abandon us without word all because of a few to many drinks. Well its almost 3 mos. He wanted a divorce all along and this thing aggravated more. If thats the case then why does he bring up the old things that I have done to make our relationship bad. However in the meantime is insurance that he had was stopped they could not wait a day to get it resolved which he now has it again. He wants me to give him a chance but im not sure what to do :( I cant leave my boyriend for someone else. I have done my best to be introspective and figure out where I need to change, and contemplate how I can be a better person. What you need to do is work with a therapist who can help you (a) quickly figure out why you did this and (b) give you the tools to withstand the challenges of life going forward. If you loved someone very much would you ever want to watch their self destruction? Sometimes we need an outsider to nail whats going on. We went on a summer vacation with her parents this year and she said she was really impressed with how I was around her parents and I was different in a good way, so that was a step forward. We were both becoming distant and have both attempted to break up with each other but could not as we both still truly care for each other. if not how do i get over her, she was my first love and is my high school sweet heart and i am absolutely lost without her. Hi Deb, I met my girlfriend during freshman year in college. And is it possible for us to fall in love again? You cannot respect the top until you have felt the bottom. I am very confused on how we got off track and all the way to this.. Like I stated before we been together for over 5 years almost a 2 year old son and now she tells me that she has not loved me before our child was born and I dont understand how we made it this far. The fact that he didnt hear the phone next to his head, and at he did things knowing I might have a problem is what made me feel disrespected. But my boyfriend and i decided to try and fix things. We had talked and agreed on what we were ok with All the what ifs and everything. He begged me to give him another chance,he acted different towards me as well and although i missed nothing about our relationship i decided to give it another try since i had never seperated from him before i thought this maybe the one thing that would make him change. She said that I proved many of her suspicions about males behavior toward women to be true in my actions, and it hurt me to the core to think that I resembled her rotten father. We had ample food to share with others. Now he told me he is not in love with me and feels nothing for me. I apologize for this lengthy postif you want to skip to the end to just read my question, I would understand. If I can brave the shame of having the scarlet letter stamped on my head for all to see now. I know he is staying in this new place. He even said that he thought it might upset me, but figured it wouldnt be so bad. Long story short, my father got ill and when he was very bad, I relapsed. And i know shes ok and that i didnt create a problem for her. For goodness sake .. a wheel trim resulted in this?! Hi Maria, All of the above matters. I asked why is that? I can tell she cares because she brings up the past, she says she loves me but doesnt wanna be with me. He was on a flight when I found out so he couldnt answer the phone so I just text him Were done He called me as soon as he was off of the plane screaming at me telling how Im stupid because he thought i was mad about him not answering the phone while he was on his flight. Theres no easy way to do this. I worry that its too little too late. It took me a lot of time to understand what she meant and what i was doing wrong, and by the time i did she felt distant from me and cheated on me emotionally with another guy. He thinks there are more skeletons in my closet and that I didnt just make out with these guys. After giving him uphill about another married lady that he is spending time with that side, he burst out in tears and it surfaced that he has been feeling shut out of my life, that I died inside and cut him out. But you would like to change him. Right before she told me of her lack of feelings, I began taking an active approach in things like my career and relationship, after all, my life is in my control, but it was too little too late. My continued sub conscience acts of control had pushed her further and further away, coupled with my own depression about where I was in life with my career. He didnt even introduce me to the girl as his girlfriend. You are a good-hearted person and you hate to see someone suffer. To my knowledge neither ever became physical, but the pain wasnt any less. He said they click and have so much in common. I find myself very hyper-sensitive when questioned by her as I feel I should not have to tell her everything I do or think or say to other people, maybe she is just asking out of curiosity but I dont like being questionedI had enough of it from the time before, how do I move past this??? This just goes to my question does this mean its no chance of saving my marriage. I didnt understand given I had said I could go, and had apologized. Our initial argument/cause of separation was no longer a problem. However, he is not a dumb person so a mistake he made in the past would not likely be repeated so was he just getting more slick each time? You must remind these things to yourself every day because you have no reason to be desperate. Even I apologized to him a lot of time. I tried to stop him and even sent CVs for him here in Portugal without telling him. When you were in love with him, he was not in love with you. I know it sounds weird that I am sixteen and so young but if you have ever gotten that feeling like hes the one and you just feel so comfortable around him you would understand. Hes been begging for 2 wees now. The next day I went over to his house when we were not official, we had intimacy and we ended it for good. he tells me Im just being stupid and its just a film but I feel like if ur in a loving relationship there should be no need to feel like you need to look at anyone else sexualy. Everything I told him er was from my heart. And around the time he was sexting, my grandfather was in the hospital and he died. In a series of studies, Vivian Zayas and Yuichi Shoda found that people don't just love or hate significant others. they have hurt me in the oast and i oulled away from two member of his family until i jus eventually jus cut off all of them. I didnt know that he was getting hurt by this and that Im not meeting his needs when it comes to loving him. I just wish I could get over my own feelings. I am a highly responsible person who took care of my husband all this time, etc. The proof is the drinking and nonsense didnt stop. Then at that point you just gotta see if youre compatible with each other. I would like to rebuild our relationship. I hate to sound redundant, but maybe you should speak to a therapist to find out. I have 2 kids under the age of 5 and he was not ready to be a stepfather, so i stop myself from liking him more than i should. The insular does not determine whether the emotion is positive or negative. We have both suffered from depression but I forgive, and have friends now who have hurt me badly in the past. YOU HURT ME! I can see I broke his heart, he has said he still loves but I did so much of the same things over and over again that he isnt as crazy about me as he was in the beginning. I agree and accept. Im afraid to say you will have to make other living arrangements for yourself or for him in order to get the message across. My husband looked up a moment; didnt meet my eyes & then merely continued to work on the car. On that one, He was trying to hook up for sex with a woman, 3 months after we started dating. Im currently in a worse situation. Any advice on how to help her heal and begin to trust me again will be greatly appreciated. Hi Sabrena, Today we have talked about the situation and I understand that I totally humiliated him in front of our friends plus numerous other people because we were at a club where he is a member. Although opposites do attract, the fundamental, deep-down attraction comes from a reflection of oneself. Each time we have been intimate since the separation he says he can never feel the same about me or get over it. Im emotionally drained and exhausted I feel like Ive had the life sucked out of me. So Im 33 and havent had many experiences with relationships. She takes pain pills for diseases she has, and ive known that for years, but for whatever reason, my subconscious compulsive mind led me to do it. Im sorry i did it, but idk what to do now, a month has past since we stopped talking all together. Yes he has deep feelings for me and loves being with me. He clams I knew his money situation when he moved in which is correct but I told him I really need his help now that im off work, and he still has not stepped up. They had small heart break, but I was not for them. When you feel guilty for hurting someone you love, holding in those feelings makes it worse. He lost all contact with his ex fiance. But stopped complimenting me. insanely in love with me anymore, she said she was My experience with that problem is this: People who cheat when they really love someone else literally do not believe that life will be good to them. This last time I was there I couldnt stop crying. we were so happy, he has a lot of obligations and responsibilities thats why we have money issues but that didnt bother us. As for your job, I agree, you cant quit til you have something else lined up. I wanted to leave him for good considering all that has happened but I didnt have the strength to leave. He say he dun want to give false hopes and dun want to have any RS involve . He has stopped drinking and will continue to. But the fact that she cheated is haunting her. As a result, lied and deceived me over the last 5 years. I found out recently that Ive been suffering from generalized anxiety and I tended to blow up whenever we got into an argument. He was mad and disappointed that I went alone. She was to try and work it out but I feel as though she is just leaving me hanging! My question is: Can my feelings slowly grow if I decide to truly forgive and try to move forward? If it works well for you then this experience may be a blessing in disguise. Even though we had a lot of happy times after that, we started arguing about a lot of things, the arguments getting pettier as the relationship started to end. Im having a hard time my heart is breaking. Tonight he broke up with me. I called this wedding off due to his drinking and drug use. I did not have a choice in the matter. No dramas. I have been married for 14 years to someone who is emotionally unavailable. At the time i told him and we were arguing he would not let me talk without shooting down everything i said and still accused me of cheating. Hes everything i could have ever asked for. We have a son who will be 3 in august and a daughter who is 9 months old. It was me all the time. I should mention that she once referred to herself as his girlfriend. He broke up with me while he was overwhelmed trying to take care of me. The hardest thing I ever did. He says he didnt tell her he wanted to work things out but she told me he did. The entire thing has made me crazy and depressed. Should I do that ? You are not a therapist! You dont need that. we have a beautiful home thats half way paid for outright, love, attraction, everything? I just wanted to let you know you have support and I hope things are getting better for you. 3. Id heard before I met him, how unserious he was (in relationships and life in general). Ever since then there has continued to be significant improvement in him so I gave him another chance. I felt like he didnt care when he just didnt know how to react. I was told once, the best thing a father can do for his children, is love their mother, Hi yes he is a very good father to the children and at this present time has said he is trying to get back to the relationship he is being more warm and friendly towards me too. Trying to figure out how to bring back that love joy happiness back. Can i pleasr get sime advice on how can i bring back my sons mothers feelings back so she can love me the way i do, i want us to stay together as a family, but apperently she had strong feelings for another man, what can i do to win her back, i am trying my all, i changed all my ways for. The faces he makes, the way he walks, everything. Not worth it. My instincts didnt tell him to leave, even after learning about the strangers he met over the course of our relationship. I got pregnant and we had our son three months ago. At some point, my partner started therapy to deal with all of this; I did not. Please help me to carry on and get through this. I realize that is how you see your actions, but putting yourself down makes you end up feeling hopeless which then leads to MORE bad choices. so too continue my girlfreind is a stay at home mom who has no close friends where we live and is not going to school or work. ever since we found out her mom was moving, her attitude has changed very drastically in the sense where I can tell something is bothering her. You have to take care of yourself, even if it means breaking your own heart. Unfortunately with social media, hes brought it to a whole new level. Hi Megan, I feel its probably a good thing for him to be in there right now. If the person youre married to is not able to be intimate, its time for counseling, IMO. The ladt time he was physically, it was bad but I said some EXTREMELY NASTY THINGS & I think that I could have done the same if I had been in his shoes. He left for italy 1 month after getting together and we talked for 6 months. We started dating after she got out of a 3 year relationship in which the guy cheated on her. The whole month I told her I didnt want to leave her at all and that I loved her to my core, and she told me that it was the best relationship shes ever been in and that she will always love me, but I continued to pack my belongings for some insane reason. Instead, when we start a relationship in a state of being somewhat on empty then instead of looking for what we can give to the other person, we are always feeling in some way neglected and missing something. Therefore, its impossible for them to validate you. A person experiencing dementia might display love and hate to their caregiver within the same few moments. On this SoundAffect, Megan Hayes speaks with Bakari about cancel culture, the most valuable . i love him please help me to show him that i can change and respect him and speak ona normal volume and recreate the relationship with his family. I was ready to leave him that night, but I stayed as he quietly told me everything he had been keeping from me. I had my son at 17 & the absentee father was a guy who I loved very much, had been together for 5 yrs and he left before I was even 3 mths pregnant. Your job here on earth is not to take away the pain of a person who has been so deeply hurt that he cant allow himself to be vulnerable in a relationship. She was upset really bad and I said I will not give her anything. If so, then counseling to build up your self esteem and self love is in order. I have been in a relationship with my husband for almost 8 years and almost 6 years of being married. We were three weeks not talking. Isnt it funny that he showers you with gifts and suddenly wants to marry you AFTER you had sex? This affair has gone on for 3 months and although we have tried to break it off we keep failing to stay out of contact. I gave him the space I knew he needed. And the fact that he had to pry it out of me didnt help either. He also went on to say that he was not over the fact that both of his ex girlfriends cheated on him. And he has been doing this for years. (Red flag 2) her next relationship was even worse. What can I do, or do I do anything at all yet and just give him time to process it all? Ive been able to rebound each time but it is interfering with our recovery. But he has chose not to and has left. He said he loved me with his whole heart but I hurt him and I had to rebuild his trust. Did I miss her within the 9 months? And flirted but nothing physical and if I wasnt high I would never dream if doing that. I made his coffee this morning and said bye to him, no hug, no I love you, no texts during the day. Read self-help books for it or seek affordable therapy. Going for long walks in the park is perfect on first dates because it allows you to talk about yourself and ask her questions, which helps build rapport between you. Saying things that are out of character, reminding me that I hurt him, so I have no ground to stand on, almost pretending Im not there some of the time. I told him I was tired of the lies. How in the world can you get back to opening yourself up to someone who has hurt you? It almost feels like Im frustrated that I never picked up on his doubts the first time around, and this time Im trying to anticipate any negativity way ahead of time, to spare myself the breakup I already suffered once. I know one thing for sure love never fails. Anything I can do? I hit below the belt a lot but I can own the fact that I took him for granted but he also took me for granted. Im feeling really anxious but this article has given me some hope. So mostly it was just him and I together all the time. One day I was at work and he got angry not because if me, but he wanted to take it on me on the phone. He is someone from my past that I used to fool around with. This is the reason why I decided to travel alone. We also went on vacations with both our families and just in all we were very very close. He was stunned, so was I honestly. i was in this case the giver and he the taker, i understand now that i played a role in him just taking everything and giving me nothing. Should I wait him to contact me or should I make the move and give him my support? It takes too much work for someone to bear alone and do it with their own willpower. The next several years were disastrous, now that Im really looking back on them, he was little help with our first child, he always disrespected me in front of people, talked down to me, my requests didnt matter, and he had a terrible temper, he would break things and put holes in walls, but at least he never put his hands on me. But I interpret that to mean using me. When we hate someone, we are more likely to wish they would suffer or at least change who they are. Hi, It was then I realized how much she loves me and it dawn on me how bad I had messed up. 11: Take her to the park for some fresh air Her response discouraged me. Its way too confusing for him. He gave me the letters i wrote back, said he will come around our son when he is a better role model and that he doesnt exist to me or my family and never to contact him again. Love is the only thing that is Real. She recently said she had enough of my emotional abuse and she wanted out of our marriage without getting a divorce because we have children. Ive been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 10 months now but we have some issues. I came home from work and he told me how I made him feel ugly and unwanted. I did start therapy, we even went together sometimes, but she wasnt very helpful. She arrived a couple of hours later with her 2 teenage kids. He was never physically unfaithful, not even emotionally he more so entertained the idea, which in my mind is just as bad because it could lead to anything.
