I would personally say just go with whatever feels comfortable for you both, communication is key here, if things start moving too fast, speak out about it. Don't do something because society thinks you should, do something because it's right for you and your new partner. Best of luck and enjoy that honeymoon period!

Follow your head on this one. Think of the reasons why you broke up before and whether they're likely to happen again. It's not always the case but in a lot of cases an ex is an ex for a reason.

sorry to tell you, but i've done the phone hoarding myself and it was because i was talking to another guy. when that starts happening, it's a definite red flag, especially because you're so vulnerable with him. i think you need to be strong and confront him. it will end a lot of the uncertainty and abuse you feel.

Yes, but this was before he said he wanted everything with me. See my Relationship Forum post titled 'Being kept a secret', I explained in more detail on that & also in the comments with that post. He's started locking the door and taking his phone everywhere with him in the last month on so. He's got a pass code on his phone and I've never had any intention to snoop, but he knows my past where I was cheated on and he knows I'm vulnerable due to mental health issues. Speaking to a friend and opening up for the 1st time last night I can see signs of emotional abuse now. He's destroying my confidence, self worth etc. If you get a moment please can you take a look at my essay of a forum post. Thank you. Also despite how I feel I never control him, and I give him space, everyone around us always says he's lucky to have me as I run around for him and stuff. These are all my friends, as his side of things no ones knows about us, they just see me as his flat mate!!

Yes it can and often does. Parents love for a baby grows even while the baby is in the womb....and when a baby is lost all the hopes and expectation s are lost too. It is very stressful . Why not post on the forum and see how other members of the community respond.

Yes sweet it can and if it's you that's lost your baby I am so sorry for your loss. It's a very emotional and stressful time for both parents and arguments are bound to arise. It's the age old saying "you take things out on those closest to you" but stay strong, although the hurt will never go, you will find ways to deal with it together.

It may be you are not ready to settle yet. The important thing is not to betray your best friend....let him know what is going on for you...even if it hard to be honest.

I've been through a similar position with my current guy. Been with him for five years. We don't talk at all. But catch this problem early. Explain to him how you feel into detail. Tell him you just need him to listen rather than talk

sixteen years is a long time , nevertheless sometimes no matter how hard it is you have to think of all the things you can do know. There is nothing wrong with a strong , independent woman.
Good Luck Lynchbabe , and I hope what ever happens you are happy!100% liked thisComments

In a way, you know, he is giving his 50% It seems to you as though he is giving 50% of taking and you are giving 100% of giving! You could try talking to him about what you would like more of from him - it may well be that he really does not know how to give time, attention, thoughtfullness, fun, ideas, etc - all the things that make relationships work. Could you teach him?

I hope you both enjoy this time in your lives, finding friendships and happy learning experiences. Your realtionship can survive if good communication is maintained and you can meet up now and then. However, you may find you do so much growing up while at college, you may just grow out of the relationship. It happens!

I am worried for you in that holding on to him may just be the thing that drives him away. Do you have interesting things to do or friends to go out with when he is with his friends? It might be worth your while casting your mind back to before you met him - what did you enjoy doing then? You are still that same woman. You don't have to give up being you in order to be with him. Go on. Have some fun. Good luck.

This must be painful for you and perhaps you are not sure why she moved on so fast. If I were suspicious I might think she had someone ready waiting in the sidelines. But I sense that her indecisiveness is leaving you feeling hopeful for re-establishing your relationship with her. You can really only go on living your life as enjoyably as possible, indicating to her whenever an opening arises, your ongoing interest in being with her.

This is such a painful time for you. She is finding her feet and wants her independence. Do you have other children at home or are you facing empty nest? Whichever way it is, there is still plenty of life ahead of you. Can you daydream of some wonderful things to do? I call it "planting trees". So one day you will look back and say "Oh yes. That was the time we did such and such. And then later that year we went to . . "
