Hi there

I have never done anything as far as going to seeking support from an online community, but I havent experienced anything like this before and the pain is unreal.

I have been in a relationship for about 4 years and thought of this person as being the one. Weve been through hardships before but nothing like this.

She recently made a friend who I met and I was happy for her because its hard to make real friends. Everything was fine until she stayed out with this person until early in the morning. Of course I get concerned. A couple days later she confronted me about it and told me nothing more than a hug had happened and I truly believe it. The part that hurts me inside is that she told me she liked it which confuses her.

I dont know what I feel or how I feel about this situation. Since then weve decided or shes decided that a break would be best.

It pains me just thinking about how shes doing or whats going on. I just dont know if being in this relationship is something I want anymore.

@kevinz move on from her. find the right person for you.

We have similar problem, it's terrible feeling. But my boyfriends "best friend" is also his ex. Yeah...

I’m losing my mind lately because of a relationship that is causing major anxiety and uneasiness. Together almost 5 yrs - I’m older - she’s younger - she was deeply in love with me the first 4 yrs but we had ups and downs that were sometimes very problematic. I would take breaks and i always had the “upper hand” until I tried to end it last summer - she fought for it and I resisted for months - she then gave up and I found out she went on a few dates and even slept with him. I went crazy immediately realizing I still loved her and wanted her back. I poured my heart out and she was conflicted and confused. Then we actually had some time together that was great but after that she distanced herself again. She loves me, I love her - but she wants to be friends now until we straighten ourselves out and I can’t take the pain of being in regular contact via text or phone but not being able to be more than friends. She has given mixed signals at times too. I finally couldn’t take the ongoing anguish of being in touch like that so I told her I had to step away. I was hoping I could go a week to a month with no contact to see if it makes her want to reconsider since I was also her closest friend. I’m all torn up emotionally :(

@oceanluvr- I understand the push/pull of these kinds of relationships. Dare I say be true to yourself first and foremost. It is easier said than done.

Im sorry, but the truth is she doesn’t like you enough as a man, she doesn’t see you as a man… I’m so sorry.


It is hard, defs, but try as much as you can to let her go, and find the right one for you.


wish you luck

Hi all,

I am new here, I don't know how to put things.

I messed up all the good things I had and hurt those who loved me most.

I am the villain of my story and I want to make things right.

OK, introductions can happen. I am 63 years old (almost 64), been widowed since 2010. Thirty years of a wonderful marriage reduced to memories. All good ones, but still...

Following my late wife's recommendation, I started looking for another woman. Dating sites seemed to be the way to go, but they didn't catch me anyone for more than a few months. Now, someone has found me, and things are actually going very well.

So why am I here? Because I want to learn how to keep this wonderful woman, improve the communications, improve everything I can. Things have changed a lot since I first was married, I need to learn a lot about how to keep a relationship in good order. This seems to be the best place to do that.

@Offmytrack Hello Track, I am Obs. Nice to know you. Glad to hear you joined us and looking forward to improve yourself to build and maintain a better and stronger relationship with your woman. I hope you find the best support ad feel better with us. <3

Hello, I'm new to this community, and not even two weeks in as a listener here. I'm very excited to be part of this community. I actually teach a class in Interpersonal Communication, and we largely focus on relationships and communication within those relationships, so I'm very excited to bring some of that knowledge here, as well as to learn from others - I find that every day I grow through learning, and I'm excited to be around so many people that truly care about others and want to help support them in their own growth. Thank you for welcoming me! :)

Hello, I'm new here. I've just regained enough confidence to start dabbeling my toes back into the dateing world but this time round I have the added challenge of anxiety and lack of trust in men. Any tips of how to proceed would be greatly appreciated
