This is a really good article. I just recently broke up with my boyfriend of 3 yrs and he said it was because of my family(one in particular). It was devastating and I'm still having a hard time with it but I hope it gets better soon.

I'm happy for you! Let's hope things are better the second time around.





Let's face it - we all need some space now and then. Otherwise we're bound to feel smothered. I dated someone a few years back who wanted to push things along while I preferred a slower pace. This was new to her and she was fine with it. We eventually split for other reasons, but at least it was amicable.[/quote]

thanks, 56steve. much appreciated. and yes, i agree we all need some space now and then. i think the last 2 years of pretty much being on my own, completely taking care of myself has put a lot of things into perspective for me too. there are things that i can appreciate now that i really couldn't before.


sounds like a good woman if she was willing to slow things down for you. being patient in order to show love for someone and consider their needs can be tough sometimes. i'm glad she was able to be okay with it so the relationship at least had a change. also, i'm glad your breakup was amicable. i have dated guys for what i consider very short periods of time (3 months or so) and while they may have started out seemingly promising, they didn't work out as anything long term.mostly they have been amicable and not justamicable,buttwoof them ended up being very good friends of mine. Sometimes people just work better as friends

I used to be this person. I'd walk away for the flimsiest of reasons. With this relationship, I'm amazed at how much I want it to work.

Man, I think the air in the carton of sour milk someone mentioned has more depth and value than some of these articles. If this was a dating site for teenagers, they'd be great articles, but I read this and it all either seemed like common sense, or I was like, if someone was doing/being like that, how would they know and would they even care?

After reading the story in here I would have to give a great deal of credit to the writer for this. Though I have yet to enjoy a real relationship, I know that it is important to be sure when it is time to fold or keep betting. I have seen several good friends in good relationships let the relationship tank because of one little fight or because their hobbies don't coincide very often. I wish that I had the opportunity to test the steel of a real relationship. I'm sure that it would be something that could give me a feeling of accomplishment if I was able to work through even half of the problems on this list.

ok, so after nearly five years of asking for a commitment, I finally break up with my girlfriend who refused to commit. I think that was a legit split....Today I get a message from her saying she has reconsidered...now that I have met someone on here that seems a perfect match. Now torn between going back to the love I know or going forward into an unknown...any suggestions to help my conflicted brain?
