Thank you. He knows that something is wrong. I dont feel the need to initiate contact anymore. Im special to her, but she seems too hurt. Maybe your therapist is signaling that you should go with your heart. Im giving him another chance and the ball is in his court but its like hes not even trying to bite at the opportunity. Please let me know what you think. We have 2 children and a third in the way and Ive stayed this long because I didnt want to break up my family even though I knew this relationship wasnt right. But how can i come back from that. He sent me an email. And the fact that he had to pry it out of me didnt help either. He realised she did like me. why cant he see that. Counseling for the past pain and how you handle it would be very good. 6) New partners bore you to tears I desperately wanted his love but only if freely given. After a year things changed slowly. My husband trivializes my feelings and says things like if it were that bad you would have left a long time ago. I really could use your help please. This last time was just 2 weeks ago and I called around to jails and hospitals just to see if he was ok since his phone was turned off. this is called true love . It seems to me you are covered. Start by what you tell YOURSELF: I am a wonderful person. No amount of anger management will address these basic issues. He says he dont know if the love could come back. Hey Steve, thanks for commenting on my article and on your sincere remorse. I feel its probably a good thing for him to be in there right now. Her and her bf have been together for 7 years now. We are in relationship for 4 years. My husband is a cheater after, I had twins it continue and I know that I care for him but down deep inside I hate him. Three months after the disclosure, he was on his knee proposing to me & asking that we re-new our wedding vows & return to the church where wed married in 1976 to do so. 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 get home the next day and she breaks up with me and says I am not in her future. My inability to respect her needs or place her needs on an equal playing field as mine is why we are here in the first place. So let me ask you a funny question. But i am welling to work things out if we put the effort together. We were planning to get married. So I calculated things she needs. I just want my family back, and I know I messed up. Id heard before I met him, how unserious he was (in relationships and life in general). Hi Aiden, If you're this miserable, it's time to end things. He met them and showed commitment. Often, the challenge isn't finding love, but daring to face one's own defenses and let love. Because vulnerability increases the chance that you might get hurt, being vulnerable can be scary. I know hes not the right partner for me. I should mention the ONLY promise he has ever kept is to be faithful (I think?). Over the past few months I have dealt with all my demons and getting better but my wife is no longer interested as I hurt her so much. I dont know how many men can actually admit that. It should had never happened and I did not tell her about it because I was too scared to loose her and I was scared I was gonna hurt and betray our trust. If she cant tell me that she loves me I am worried that counseling may not help. Hello my name is Frankie, so Im having problems me and y wife are going through a divorce, i truly love my wife we have a 6 month year old son and I want to win her back, shes told me that she wants to be friends but she has no feelings for me, she says she feels numb. Often we go into a relationship looking for all the validation, nurturing, warmth and support that parents didnt give us. We are both in our early 20s and I think Im too young to have this kind of stress in my life and so is he. I have seen brief conversation on fb saying that shes not in good terms with her baby father. Fast forward 9 months later, she was still in our lives. Thank you for your comment, Confused. I feel ultimate guilt, shame, disgust with myself, sorrow for hurting him and his mom And more. Its a hard pill to swallow. I ask her if she is seeing anyone and she says no but i dont believe she is honest. We fell in love and were happy. He gave a dry hi not even a kiss or hug. She will find that attractive. I called this wedding off due to his drinking and drug use. Her sense of security, her trust in herself that she is a great person cannot come from you. We would go a few days or a week being normal but it always came up, and to be honest she never TRULY believed me. And I have no advice for you. He/she must acquire the skill of patience. I gave her little i could unfortunately despite the fact that i vowed not to give her anymore. It is possible for a person to change. Dr. Deb, Depressed and convinced that I would never be happy again. If the guy your with loves somebody else then let him be with her if you want him to be happy Im not telling u to get over him cuz I dont think u can ever get over somebody completely but the world moves on and u have to find a way to move on with it. I spend everyday utterly bereft. Dear Memers i need your advise i have been in a relationship my this guy for one yr. at first he used to communicate with me daily but in the last three months he stop. "Once you love someone, unless your respect for them is. But now he claims he forgives me and wants to work this out, but lately idk Ive just been feeling like he doesnt love me or really forgive me. Doctors cannot treat their families and neither can lawyers, so you cant convince me that you, alone, helped him conquer his demons. Talking with him doesnt help. Keep your answers calm and to the point. Why did you do it? I guess this is a good forum to atleast share and talk of what I am going though. conventional wisdom says to move on, but im not interested in doing that. He seams like hes sorry but it could all be a act. But she still bothers me about renting a place for herself,her brother and baby. Other people have great ideas, too. He just like forgot about me and treats me like garbage now. I am also happy to work with people via Skype. Look how youre acting. This is a update on my previous post and I really really need your advice. I was very hurt and confused but after long talks we decided to stay together and move with his parents to a new state, thousands of miles away from my family. We hardly ever see it coming. She denies point blank that I did nothing for her. Please comment me back and give me some advice. or spend time with her to make her feel loved n shell love u back. She admitted being with a guy for 7 years because he took care of her every need and she didnt have to work. Hi Marina, Anyway, please see an MFT together. he is 24 and i am 32, he know about it but i cant help but feel that the age gap is too big. That was 6 days ago. Perhaps you need to work a bit on your own sense of self-esteem and self-confidence. This is why she sees you as stuck in a cage. If he wants you to be upbeat and happy under these circumstances, then he is really out of touch. The way I work with people in therapy who have had abusive relationships (you can see my book on this go to my website for more) is to help re-wire our brains so that the trauma that caused the anger in the first place is completely healed. He even said that he thought it might upset me, but figured it wouldnt be so bad. This was totally out of the blue. Please get your health checked now that youre having sex again. Am I being a mug or can his feelings towards me change, he has said he despises me so why is he still wanting sex ? Of course, I dont want him to stay out of duty, but I dont understand how were not even part of his choices. He also went on to say that he was not over the fact that both of his ex girlfriends cheated on him. And though I am trying to be nice to her and show her changes I still dont feel her receptiveness. 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. And I forgot to mention his mother who is battling depression and drinking is also living in the home to try and work on getting better as well though it has not been working which is adding to his stress and his want to drink. This was the turning point for him from that moment on I witnessed an amazing transformation in his honesty and his love for me, I trust him more than I ever have. Hes the first person Ive truly loved and treated me correctly. On Sunday I tried taking to her but she was adamant it was over saying she still loves me but isnt in love with me and that shes not attracted to me anymore. The first time, you just opened yourself up and there it was. This must be his decision. But i loved him. But a genuine person has a look in their eyes that cant be faked, and a voice thats full of love. This is possible by reading a book but counseling may be best because (in my opinion) a person who is abusive was also abused and therefore needs HEALING from it himself. I was attracted to him from then on. 3 years ago when we first began to get to know each other, he hurt me really bad. I am a highly responsible person who took care of my husband all this time, etc. We never have. She doesnt return any I love yous or I miss yous. Hi Dr Deb .

She claims they are innocent, friends tell friends, I love you all the time, she says. I am trying my absolute best to save my relationship. They both told the truth. For goodness sake .. a wheel trim resulted in this?! ( I think he got tired of her neediness) she then was in a 2 year relationship with a man that was 15 years older. 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. My best friend fell in love with me 2 years ago and I could not say yes then since I was moving on from another guy.

Fast forward all this behavior just builds up and I get to the point where I cant even share my feelings with him because I feel like Im going to be criticized and rejected once again.This was a major problem because Im afraid to communicate my feelings and I feel guilty for that thinking maybe if I did he would try to make a change. I love him deeply and genuinely and I know I am partly at fault for him feeling this way (like his needs dont matter, like he never did enough, like I cant accomplish the tasks he sees as so important, etc), but I dont know how to try and start the process of fixing it.
