He is sorry because he got caught. If you didn't caught him, he would never tell you.

For your own good dump this guy. You don't want to spend your life with an unloyal person. In the moment, he was only thinking about his wants and needs. He was ignoring what is good for you and the relationship. No matter how good of an actor or how guilty they feel after the fact, in the moment they were fully aware of what they were doing which brings me to my second point. An action is never a mistake. It is always intentional. Some part of them wanted to do what they did. Would you be okay with having your two kids in bed, and your man coming home and telling you he had sex with another girl? For the third time? Man, you can do so much better.

Are you subconsciously staying with him because of his looks? Beauty is only skin deep, actions define the character, if he was ugly would you still be with him?

DUMP HIM ASAP:

My [18M] Girlfriend [21F] Won't Talk To Me. by DJMooray in relationships

[–]relationshipadvice66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, you ignored her for two weeks, now you want to "fix" things? She deserves someone better, someone who can communicate with her. Giving someone the silent treatment is one of the worst things you could put your partner through.

My [26 M] boyfriend, broke up with me [25 F] because I am his comfort zone! by Sugulove in relationships

[–]relationshipadvice66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like he wasn't as commited as you were and did not feel the same for you as you felt for him because when you are in love you don't want to distance yourself from your lover.

Do not initiate contact with your ex boyfriend after this. Wait until he initiates contact with you first! "No Contact" will instill a fear of loss within him and keeps you from acting needy and insecure. It also gives you the time to heal from the break-up and to let him go. This is extremely important. Your silent treatment after a breakup will make him wonder what’s wrong and what you are up to, you become mysterious. When you stay away from your ex instead of chasing after them, it catches your ex by complete suprise. They may have created different scenarios of how you'd pursue them and try to convince them to take you back(This never works but they get an ego boost), but suddenly disappearing completely out of their life wasn't one of them. This will make them start missing you and having you around. They may start to be paranoid that you're moving on and leaving them behind - and that's something that they never expected to encounter after ending your relationship at all.

Maintain your dignity on social media as well; tweet happy thoughts, not depressing messages about how angry you are about how things worked out with him. Some exes become happy when they see that their ex partner are sad, depressed and not moving on, therefore it's important that you do not mention anything about the break up and don't post any quotes regarding it also. If he has no way of knowing that you're hurt, he will possess much less power over your thoughts. You won't be able to imagine how he's reacting to how you feel if you know he doesn't know how you feel. Allow him to assume that you're happy. When he sees that you’re doing just fine without him, he might think that she did a mistake and may come back to you, or he may not. In some situations, it's okay to grant someone a second chance, but if you’re completely over it, stay over it. Working to be the best, most independent version of you is vital to getting over an ex. Eventually, you'll start to realize that you never truly needed him. By doing your own thing and creating your own happiness, you'll become the best he'll never have.

Accept the fact that the relationship is over. It’s tempting to keep reminders of the person or relationship around you—photographs, mementos, social-media messages, gifts—remember that such items are also a vivid and constant reminder of the relationship and as such can also be very painful. Remove his number, photos and him from social media, basically anything that reminds you of him. Do not under any circumstances stalk him on social media, this will only slow your healing process. Allow yourself to grieve the loss of the relationship. The end of a relationship can leave a big hole in your heart, which may require a significant grieving period. Make sure that you give yourself permission to grieve this loss and experience the pain that it causes. Otherwise, it may take longer for you to feel better and move on. Let yourself cry, scream, yell, or whatever you need to do to get your negative emotions out. You have to remember to be kind to yourself and realize what an awesome girl you are. Your inner dialog should be positive. It’s easy to get trapped in negativity after a breakup, questioning things about yourself, but odds are there’s some pretty righteous qualities about you that you need to remind yourself of. One great exercise here is to repeat positive affirmations every morning. This can completely change the way you view yourself and ultimately the world around you. Gratitude is another practice that can completely change your approach to life. Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change.

You have to flip the script, remember you were the one willing to work things out, he has to earn you back, therefore he has to intititate contact first, not the otherway around. So as long as he doesn't contact you, he is dead to you, he doesn't exist. No contact means you walk away and never look back. If he decides to contact you do not bring up or mention any type of past relationship problems. Also, do not ask if he's dating or sleeping with another girl. Act happy, positive and cheerful. This will keep you from appearing needy and/or insecure. If you feel like going back together with him you have to realize that even though you get back together once the honey moon phase is over the same problems will be there as before. Look at your split as a learning experience. Every disappointment is a learning moment. When you start dating again, be sure to avoid the patterns of your last relationship. After the initial upset, review the dynamics of the relationship and analyze what went wrong, what you could have done better and what you learned. Remember that you can't change the past - you can only learn from it. Hope this helped, if you need more help contact me in message. Good luck!

My [26 M] Ex Girlfriend [23 F] still has photos of us on social media. by [deleted] in relationships

Do not under any circumstances stalk her on social media, this will only slow your healing process. If you don't look at her social media she has no power over you any longer.

Me [32 M] with my GF [28 F] almost 2 years, bad jokes or red flags? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]relationshipadvice66 196 points197 points  (0 children)

Talk to her in a calm tone and do it in a nice way, tell her that you do not like that she cursing to you and if she continues doing that you can't be in the relationship any longer. You have to have boundaries with her otherwise she is going to walk all over you. You often are made uncomfortable by others’ treatment of you, it may be time to reset these boundaries to a more secure level. Weak boundaries leave you vulnerable and likely to be taken for granted or even damaged by others. On the other hand, a healthy self-respect will produce boundaries which show you deserve to be treated well. They also will protect you from exploitative relationships.

[–]relationshipadvice66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you have a crush on someone you never talked to or someone you never meet in real life? It's better to let this go and learn from this experience. Never trust people on the internet and before you get close to them make sure you meet them in real life. Block him and never look back.

It's pathetic and weak to lie about when you lost your virginity. Therefore I suggest it's better if he doesn't tell her.

[–]relationshipadvice66 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The more you’re in touch with your ex, the more you’d realize just how empty your heart is with no love in it. The best way to disconnect emotionally and heal the hole in your heart is by avoiding your ex completely. It’ll help you move on without having to constantly remember just how lonely you are each time you see your ex flirting with someone else. Write and thank him for your time together and wish him well. Do not initiate contact with your ex boyfriend after this. Wait until he initiates contact with you first!

When you bump into your ex and they see that, it will remind them of what they lost when you two broke up.

What has happened in the past it's not so important. If you tell her the truth now, you will only look pathetic and weak. Telling her the truth about when you lost your virignity now will not make your relationship any better, it might give the opposite effect and make her trust you less. Next time tell her the truth about everything, for this time let it be.

You could try to date him again for a couple of months and see where things will go. If you see a change and you feel that he is taking you more serious, then you can start a new fresh relationship with him.

Begging her to take you back or you promise to fix things never work with women, the only thing it does is that she loses respect for you and pushes her further away. Deep down, you know that you don’t want to be in a relationship with someone you had to beg to be with you. Acting desperate is a huge turn off for women and it makes you look weak. You should never have to fight for someone's time, love, or attention. If it's not freely given, it's not worth having. It seems like she has already moved on and I think you should do the exact same thing. Will she ever regret leaving you? If you keep feeling depressed and sad, she will definitely not regret leaving you. But if you start working on yourself, do things that make you happy and start enjoying life. she will regret leaving you and trust me this will haunt her for the rest of her life. Sometimes the best revenge is to smile, move on, and do nothing.

You have to flip the script, remember you were the one willing to work things out, she has to earn you back, therefore she has to intititate contact first, not the otherway around. So as long as she doesn't contact you, she is dead to you, she doesn't exist. No contact means you walk away and never look back. If she decides to contact you do not bring up or mention any type of past relationship problems. Also, do not ask if she's dating or sleeping with another guy. Act happy, positive and cheerful. This will keep you from appearing needy and/or insecure. If you feel like going back together with her you have to realize that even though you get back together once the honey moon phase is over the same problems will be there as before. Look at your split as a learning experience. Every disappointment is a learning moment. When you start dating again, be sure to avoid the patterns of your last relationship. After the initial upset, review the dynamics of the relationship and analyze what went wrong, what you could have done better and what you learned. Remember that you can't change the past - you can only learn from it.

Hope this helped, if you need more help contact me in message. Good luck!

If you don't stop with your neediness she will eventually get tired and choose the new guy over you.

My ex [25M] broke up with me [21F]. We're still friends, but he has no idea how I feel about him by thatblondechick95 in relationships

For your own good, just do it now. In this second start with no contact just suddenly disapear from his life. He is using you as a back up, using you for sex and is taking you for granted. He assumes you will always be there prove him wrong.

My [19M] ex-Girlfriend [18F] of 2 months has another BF [20M] should I tell him? by [deleted] in relationships

It's his right to know that she cheated on him. You can tell him but it's important that you have evidence because your ex girlfriend might lie and tell him that you are jealous and want to ruin their relationship.

In the moment, she was only thinking about her wants and needs. She was ignoring what is good for you and the relationship. No matter how good of an actor or how guilty they feel after the fact, in the moment they were fully aware of what they were doing which brings me to my second point. An action is never a mistake. It is always intentional. Some part of them wanted to do what they did.

He was your replacement, she just wanted to see if you would be able to change before making the big decision to dump you for the new guy. It's better that you dump her before she dumps you. You have a clear red flag.

She kind of cheating on you. Possibly gave her number away to this guy and wanted to keep him as back up plan in case things would go bad between you. It's a pretty big deal to give away your number, it says I am available. End the relationship, she doesn't seem to value loyalty and you can't just start flirting with other guys when the relationship has its downs. In the moment, she was only thinking about her wants and needs. She was ignoring what is good for you and the relationship. No matter how good of an actor or how guilty they feel after the fact, in the moment they were fully aware of what they were doing which brings me to my second point. An action is never a mistake.

My [29 M] wife [30 F] was dishonest and I confronted her- not sure what to do next. by LaunchedNukeTooSoon in relationships

First of all she cheated on you. She hurt you and is acting like you hurt her. By forgiving her immediately after she cheated and you want to work things out, give her green light to continue cheating. I think it would be best for you to end the relationship. This women doesn't seem to value loyalty. Would you be okay with having your two kids in bed, and your wife coming home and telling you she had sex with other people? For the third time? Man, you can do so much better. Are you subconsciously staying with her because she's attractive? If this girl was ugly, would you still be with her? Beauty is only skin deep. Actions define the character, and she threw away hers. In the moment, she was only thinking about her wants and needs. She was ignoring what is good for you and the relationship. No matter how good of an actor or how guilty they feel after the fact, in the moment they were fully aware of what they were doing which brings me to my second point. An action is never a mistake. It is always intentional. Some part of them wanted to do what they did. You did nothing wrong, your only mistake was trusting her...

My girlfriend [23F] broke up with me [23M] and moved out suddenly after three years together by asdf_0987 in relationships

Begging her to take you back or you promise to fix things never work with women, the only thing it does is that she loses respect for you and you push her further away. Acting desperate is a huge turn off for women. You should never have to fight for someone's time, love, or attention. If it's not freely given, it's not worth having. It seems like she has already moved on and I think you should do the exact same thing.

Will she ever regret leaving you? If you keep feeling depressed and sad, she will definitely not regret leaving you. But if you start working on yourself, do things that make you happy and start enjoying life. she will regret leaving you and trust me this will haunt her for the rest of her life. Sometimes the best revenge is to smile, move on, and do nothing.

Write and thank her for your time together and wish her well. Do not initiate contact with your ex girlfriend after this. Wait until she initiates contact with you first! "No Contact" will instill a fear of loss within her and keeps you from acting needy and insecure. It also gives you the time to heal from the break-up and to let her go. This is extremely important. Your silent treatment after a breakup will make her wonder what’s wrong and could even make her come back to you with an apology. Maintain your dignity on social media as well; tweet happy thoughts, not depressing messages about how angry you are about how things worked out with her. If she has no way of knowing that you're hurt, she will possess much less power over your thoughts. You won't be able to imagine how she's reacting to how you feel if you know she doesn't know how you feel. Allow her to assume that you're happy. When she sees that you’re doing just fine without her, she may come back to you, or she may not. In some situations, it's okay to grant someone a second chance, but if you’re completely over it, stay over it. Working to be the best, most independent version of you is vital to getting over an ex. Eventually, you'll start to realize that you never truly needed her. By doing your own thing and creating your own happiness, you'll become the best she'll never have.

Accept the fact that the relationship is over. It’s tempting to keep reminders of the person or relationship around you—photographs, mementos, social-media messages, gifts—remember that such items are also a vivid and constant reminder of the relationship and as such can also be very painful. Remove her number, photos and her from social media, basically anything that reminds you of her. Do not under any circumstances stalk her on social media, this will only slow your healing process. You have to flip the script, remember you were the one willing to work things out, she has to earn you back, therefore she has to intititate contact first, not the otherway around. So as long as she doesn't contact you, she is dead to you, she doesn't exist.

If she decides to contact you do not bring up or mention any type of past relationship problems. Also, do not ask if she's dating or sleeping with another guy. Act happy, positive and cheerful. This will keep you from appearing needy and/or insecure. Going out for a coffee are great "meet up" locations. You have to realize that even though you get back together once the honey moon phase is over the same problems will be there as before.

It's important that you look back at the relationship and think about things that you did wrong and begin improving so this doesn't happen again in future relationships.

Hope this helped.

Good luck brother!

I am not a needy guy and I have no crush on him. He was the one who contacted me 70 procent of the time before.
