It might also be worth it to talk to him. What can I do to atleast make him give us a chance at this? We were best friends. I wished in my heart I had kept them words to myself, he knew I liked him a lot. But even as we try to coparent I dont think he fully grasped some of the damage he has caused and so I think I just need to close that door and pour my energy into things that are fruitful. If you do take him back, you have to put your foot down and tell him how you feels about situation and make a list for him to understand and make sure you know he is applying himself to the list everyday. Is this normal to feel this way? Why the hell people prefer drug over someone who really love and heart? Ive been married to my wife for 10 years now. I let him have it when I found out that he had been doing that. He just started telling me that I cam do so much better than him and that he is scared of anything because of what she did. But her condition in that house is not plessant. But it dont know what to do. That is, your partner is so anxious to wish away all the bad in the relationshipwhich is understandablethat he/she may make you feel like he/she is more concerned with what he/she is getting out of it than what you are being offered. I NEED HELP or at least some insight. When we first started dating all was well until he started showing me this other side of him he didnt show before I had started to open up to him. The aim is to show that you are fun to be with and that you know how to have a good time. Every other fight we have, he breaks up with me, annoying, and he calls me names that are really hurtful. When I came back home he was honest about another woman he had met and slept with her. Its a long story. Doing everything herself, w/o you? And i saw a video of him with another guy. The more respectworthy observations you make, the stronger your trust will be in your spouse. Your fear of losing him has lead to your pushing him away. The other night was the last straw. What did you learn in your counseling? I worry that its too little too late. He genuinely tells me that he wants to be with me for the rest of his life. Forget him. Take it from someone whos been around over twice as long as you and have been betrayed more than once. I told him I was tired of the lies. My response to that is: Okay, and what happens in 2 years when your dopamine goes down and the seratonin levels go up again? Thank you. As much as I love her, shes making me sick. 3. i didnt know what to do because his drinking was out of hand and the kind of trouble he was getting into made me worry about all of us. Because by telling her this, you validate her feelings without putting any pressure on her to do anything at all. Sadly his friends did not like me I think it may be because they all smoked and drank and lived carefree lives whereas I lived a Simple Muslim life and he was fine with that actually we even talked about Islam on a regular bases. I want her to know I am a new person but she has a wall up around her and wont let me in, I accept it was all my fault and will do anything to repair the damage if I can but I am fighting a losing battle. But, when he would get angry he blacks out and get verbally abusive. Heres why: The falling in love kind of love, not the familial love that you have, say, for your parents or children, is about receiving. Here are 13 signs you know how to love yourself: You Speak Your Mind Practicing Self-Love Can Be A Life-Long Journey Get Support Along the Way With A Licensed Therapist When you can tell others what you think, you show that you value your own thoughts. I just know that was what I needed to see and it may be what others need as well. What can I do, or do I do anything at all yet and just give him time to process it all? I did not hesitate. That sent her over the edge. I dont know what to think. I ferl list in my professional life as well and feel like maybe im just taking it out on my relaitionship? Did i mention he just got out? Im emotionally drained and exhausted I feel like Ive had the life sucked out of me. Also, he has treated me as more of a worker always reminding me that I have to earn my keep like a stay at home should yet at the same time he comments on how easy I have it. The girl brought up wanting to perform on my husband, he immediately looked at me..not in a pleading way, but more of a did she just say that? Should I simply get over this? And you should not have gone there, either. Hi What am i doing Naturally or unnaturally, the new baby in our life led to decreased intimacy. I pledged my love, life & faith to this man. I do like him a lot but i dont love him or feel that i love him. I believe it because I made this girl who she is. I know he loves me, as he said leaving was not a matter of love but a matter of being healthy. Thats how I use to be but I eventually swallowed my pride and Id just tell her how I feel. He even said so at one pointthat all we did was talk and vent but that we werent doing any actual work. and cease repining; Behind the cloud is the sun still shining; Thy fate is a common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall." Longfellow is rightrain comes at different times to all of us. Throughout my relationship with, I have always performed horribly regarding academics. Perhaps she is not sure how to tell you its over? Daniel, A year later, she accuses him of being the father of her 3 year old daughter, and I find out that they have been seeing each other for 2 weeks and that he may be the father. Then last week she told him she was crazy about him. He says hes sorry but the next day all the lies and fucking up will happen again. However, I still mourn the loss of my marriage, and what I SHOULD have had. But after hurting him so much and leaving him in so much despair, he now is numb and lazy to hang onto this relationship anymore :( im really depressed about it and idk how to win him back. that feels great. my question for you to think about is: When will you start protecting yourself from verbal abuse? No longer friends on social media. please, Hello, I have been in a relationship for five years with a man who has been my best friend for over a decade. But can a cheater really change? After all, marriage is a relationship built on love and respect that lasts until the end of time. Four months after we were married, I realised that he is a secret drinker. That was when I know I need him in my life and I no longer can deceive myself anymore. We planned to get married in 2016, but this month he pulled away from me because he didnt think we would work out anymore. Furthermore, HE has some obligations to YOU, morally if not legally, since you have been supporting him. The first time we met in person he thought he had my number and was a royal dick to me. We were to re-new our vows at the end of October on the very day we said our I Dos. Why not give it 6 months and see? We instantly clicked and were dating and involved romantically within a short amount of time. So, I think that all bad things that happen are really good because they are an opportunity to learn so we can be better the next time. We agreed at the start that it was just going to be casual and if either of us caught feelings we would walk away. Do you have a fantasy of being her rescuer? But I took the time to for once be honest with my fianc & myself about everything. Do you have any suggestions or help you can provide? But it still hurts when she sits there on her phone, or when she goes out for a girls night and seems to not want to spend time with me. Nevertheless, if you can look at this situation objectively, you might be able to salvage it. I have been with my bf for almost 2 years. I know he wants me to love him and show him it, but I dont feel it at all. Out of blue she called me this Monday February 20 early in the morning on my way to work. he wants this relationship and wish i would stop cussing he said for everything. Her biological father is an oncologist and spent most of her childhood at work, she never bonded with him (red flag 1)and they havent spoke since she was 18. I agree and accept. for even though we were together for a about 3 weeks before i said i had to give my bf a second chance. Thanks for taking the time to read all this. Originally we decided to be completely monogamous, and we have been since that decision. I dont know wether to keep fighting or give up..cuz it hurts and I want it to stop. Since then I have turned all of that around but it was still very up and down for a long time. Just recently, he went drinking with his friends, and he seemed depressed and distant, though he was going through some crisis. Hi Someone, I moved to my mothers the next day. He met someone there and he talks to her and spends time with herthey are involved. He cant look me in the eye, and when I ask why he says he feels so guilty. If anything, I am more weepy and depressed than ever before. But since wed thought about it I figured it couldnt hurt to try. She just cant hold to long. But I dont really know which way to go and either way is difficult. Ever since we had that fall out hes like a changed man. Wont it just cause more stress later and if he relapsed once we are allowed back in wont it be our fault? The problem is that Ive been so hurt so manyttimes that now Im discouraged of trying one more time. You do not need this. Hes the most amazing man Ive ever met and Ive completely destroyed everything in our relationship and yet somehow he is giving me a chance to fix it. And I mean extremely. I asked him what that was all about & he complained that Peter had made him feel like an idiot & incapable of being the good mechanic he is. He falls for it. She finally left me on September 5th. Any advice would be much appreciated. But I speak in my email using terms like my partner, I dont say her etc., I basically say that I want a partner that I could have told her what the issue was and we come to an agreement that works for both of us. He has gone back and forth so many times. He adamantly wont have sex with me because he thinks we used it as a bandaid. But we seemed to make up everytime. May I recommend a video on my own website called 3 keys to a spectacular marriage? My boyfriend and I were perfect, then I messed up. What can I do to make him forgive me? But a genuine person has a look in their eyes that cant be faked, and a voice thats full of love. I grew up as an orphan. No one can live a life without them. A week later he came to me saying he cant stand not having me in his life and so we got back to what we were, however, I was soon to learn that during the week we were not speaking, he began sleeping with one of my friends, and this continued even though we were trying to make things work again. He was rude, impatiend and miserable with me. She got drunk and more out of control than Ive ever seen her. Am I crazy for trying so hard? Just want to make this right and go back to the loving, supportive, fun relationship that I let slip away. None of that is helping. Try this. It will be a very good step for you. to get my husband back into my life.He s a good guy and good husband too. And I dont know if Ill be able to get him back. 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. That was a lie to buy myself some time. Man. Can she feel that beautiful sensation when I touch her skin? since january we are still living in the same house as we co own. I dont know what to do. Her face changed when I started talking about the gut being the same one at the home depot, how she said the guy is not serious about her but her actions speak louder than words. He got a cdl license and started a trucking job. You have opened up your soul; youve been vulnerable, and what did you get for it? Your spouse might be hurt, too. You have written quite a long letter. but yeah me being in contact was wrong . My boyfriend and I started dating 2 years ago. He has utterly broken me, I dont know if I will ever recover. He of course made lies saying they saved on his phone and that his friend Rick had sent the message. Not knowing i was replying her on my phone. Well the ex finally got a , If you think you are basically a lovable person, it can. I told him I dont love him anymore. This was very early in the morning. Can you stick it out that long? You see, he is blocked from his feelings because that is his SAFETY zone. Our relationship have always been, very mellow, we give each other our freedom and space. She swore to me that she wasnt leaving me before we moved. Now my trust in him never recuperated so I checked his phone and found sext msgs to and from a coworker. We tried counseling but werent able to get past our distrust and our past. I know how terrible my behavior has been. The truth is that a boyfriend or husband can never give to us what our parents didnt give it would never be enough. And it was an outlet for peace and not dealing with our issues. The last few months we have come very close to breaking up. I dont like that. An. He has even told me he wishes to marry me. I said no we need to talk it out. We were high school sweethearts. And I realized what Id been the past year. We carried on to see each other after this however, bearing in mind during this whole period we never were established as a couple. At the time, it was hard for me to accept because we had an amazing time, but I didnt resist or try to make it work, I let him go, even though I was completely devastated and caught by surprise. On the surface in the beginning on good behavior and then the same ole same ole is back. He admitted it after I asked if hes not in love with me any longer. deb So time goes by his parents start fighting, they end up divorcing I dont know if it is the main cause for everything but he starts pulling away from me. If the man raped you and you were screaming to make him let you go, then you have the possibility of a police involvement. And if she hasnt done wrong physically try to rebuild I will not let u down, Hi I just hoping for advice. If she still wont trust you, then you can go to couples counseling to re-build trust. Please get your health checked now that youre having sex again. just prove to her that u love her. So cold, angry and unforgiving. Hes been having family issues, car issues, and money issues. Communication was strained and it was like we were walking on eggshells when we were around each other. See, if you decide what you want to do with a relationship based on a feeling of being in love, then you are in for trouble. I hurt him so badly he suffers from ptsd hes a veteran. He met them and showed commitment. He needs to break down his wall because his guard is up with me and he cant even express his emotions. 14: Try going on a bike ride together How do i approach him regarding this situation? She was like a guy came last night and cause trouble and that he took her car key. Our responsibilities were laid out for us and there was no question about what we should be doing in life. Any advice on how to move things forward or to get her to open up would be really appreciated! Then two days later he came home and showered since being together hes never came home and showered. Our dark past has affected us both and I wish there was a way we could both get pass this hurdle and rebuild our trust for each other. Ive been trying self help and Im about to start counseling. He is angry with me will not talk to me. Is it a therapist who specializes in trauma? He told me that hes planned on forgiving me, and always planned on getting back together and he tells me that he misses me. One night he asked me to install Skype so that he could see me He told me he misses me even though we are not in a relationship, he keeps repeating how beautiful I am We ended up doing virtual sex I know maybe this is controversial but I feel good in having this strong connection with him and I like to know that he feels attracted to me and not to anyone else. Its so much fun because that way we create only in our minds the ideal person to be attracted to. 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. Then about a year ago we met up again and started to become intimate but I stopped it because I felt terrible. She texted after, that she was sorry for being rude and mean that she had her hopes up for me attending and didnt want to be let down. Thank you. Taylor and Francis. Help. Furthermore, the fact that he did NOT go to counseling and also did not divorce his wife (in the beginning) means he was not trying to fix his problem. Maybe you can do that for him. ( it was just a gf/bf ring ) . she ended up leaving and went back home. Thanks, Dr. Debb. Now has started dating and she even went as far as to tell another she wanted to have sex nothing else. I keep them written in my heart, and two who were so much more are forever to have touched my soul. And you have to be on the lookout too, because sometimes they will appear to have changed on the surface but when you start to dig a little deeper you might find that really they have only stayed the same. If people are blamers and dont do ANY reflection on themselves, its not a great formula for marriage. Then at the end he broke up with me and said he didnt want me to contact him and he didnt want a tearful goodbye. Since the proposal and my 30th birthday i became more restless and since i took off the ring he just ignored the whole thing while i tried to get therapy for myself and get him with me for couples therapy which lasted only a few times before a proposal was made that we seperate for a trial seperation and see what happens. How do I trust him again? What I found most interesting about was u said was that I dont love his character? Help! I needed him but he was preoccupied with the other woman and his ex. By commenting you acknowledge acceptance of GoodTherapy.org'sTerms and Conditions of Use. Several years later he was talking to my son and said that he saw a girl he had gone to school with and had he known she would end up looking like that. I really do love her and Ive owned up and apologized. Otherwise, you are liable to not like something about this person and hurt him again. He is not the kind of person who likes to talk about feelings or his inner world, nor does he need to communicate on daily basis with me. Is this you? I try at times msg him but no avail till a year later , i msg him , he finally reply. I think she came to rely on her friends as way to deal with my rejections. A person cannot set aside their insecurities. Insecurities become part of a persons very identity and that in turn governs their choices. Since June of 2016 we have been seeing a marriage counsellor and that has helped somewhat. Maybe this man married his mother the first time? Please! We had all the qualities of a functioning relationship. I dont think love is enough. We lived together for a moment but that environment became tense. We started arguing and fighting everyday. Aside from thatwe are friends and I would like to at least help him see that not everybody leaves and not everybody is out to use and hurt you. Thank you so much for your praise, but I have to tell you: it is YOU who took it seriously and applied it. If you see a marriage & family therapist who is skilled at anger issues, then you can eventually bring him into the therapy so he can see that you are, indeed, working on yourself and this wont happen in the future. She told me herself why are you being like this? We often try to get from our partners what we lack within. But the fact that she cheated is haunting her. He could not understand that respect is given but trust is earned. It hurt my feelings so bad that I cant spend time with him. This is affection, as well as understanding, care, and empathy, etc. why didnt you kick him out Meg? How can I get beyond feeling so guilty and shameful so I can put some work in to making him feel that I care deeply about him? Who's your supplier? I wish he had been honest, fought for me. So, yes, I answer but no, I dont always comment. I started to frantically look for ways to fix the situation and I think that I came across as too needy. I wrote on here in November of this year. Literally hundreds of texts were shared & then my husband had gone on to a BlackBerry so text messages werent recorded on his bills. He went to his house and work many times. We fell right back into old patterns. Long story short. Thank you for reading all this, Hi, my ex and I dated for 2months, she was madly Samara, of COURSE he fell out of love. And i really do miss him so much with all my heart and soul. Her, i resprct show that i love her but idk what rlse to do !! i know hes really hurt thats why he doesnt feels like talking to me that much . Thats one of the most difficult parts x. Dr. Deb be honest please if they got together in June is it true and possible that like my husband said he is in love with the other women. We have two young daughters and so the thought of divorce also causes me great anxiety. The last week before I moved out was a bit different. I made massive mistakes though, not him.
