Hello myLotters. I am currently confused now on what should I do. My partner and I have been together for more than a year now. When we start off, everything goes smoothly. Being together for more than a year now, we have been able to surpass a lot of trials that came our way. Like for example, fighting his love for me against his mother's disapproval, third parties, etc. We've been through a lot now. But, for a past couple of months, everything seems to be hazy and not going as we want it to be. Full of complications, misunderstandings, mistrust, unfaithfulness, disloyalty, and doubt. There are already several times we almost broke up but we stood still. Still trying to save our relationship and everything we had. But now, I feel like he's pushing me away. He's starting to be uncaring. Always picking up a fight. Almost everyday we're fighting. Sometimes I feel like giving up. But my love for him won't allow me. Now I'm totally confuse! Please myLotters. I really need your advices. Please... :,(

The first thing that I would do is sit down with your partner and have an honest discussion. Is there something more to this than you're aware of? Relationships are never easy but if you love each other, it's worth working on the relationship. When DH and I got married, we promised never to go to bed angry. No argument would last more than a day. When we have an argument, we give it a cooling off period of a couple of hours and then we sit down with each other and verbalize five things that we love about each other. We rarely get through all five. At some point, we realize how silly we've been and we've cooled off enough to actually discuss the problem and come up with a solution. I guess that it works. We celebrated our 37th anniversary on 2/12. Best of luck to both of you.

I'd love to do your advice but the problem is we live far away from each other. We are not yet living together since we are still studying. Whenever we are together, everything's fine. Our fight only occurs everytime we are far away from each other. As of now, we rarely see each other because of my workloads with my studies and that is one of the reason he's acting like that. He wants to have "ALL" my time. If only I could split my body in half just to satisfy him, I'd do it but sadly I can't! :(

Personally if you have not already done so, I would consider in breaking it off with him for good. This is not a Healthy relationship for you and that is not good. You owe it to yourself to find someone who will make you Happy and be able to share the Good and Bad with as well. I know it might be a hard thing for you to do, but there are better men out there waiting for you as well.

sometimes it's hard to decide but based on your words you still love him. Follow your heart, if you think that he is worthy of your feelings fight for that feelings and continue loving him without minding any hindrances that comes on your relationship. I love my girlfriend but i am thinking that she is not worthy for my love that is why i let her go.

That is the reason why I'm confused. I'm being trapped by the question of letting him go or grab on to him as long as I can. My mind tells me to set him free but my heart says not to let him lose. Everytime I think about it, I cannot bear the thought of losing him. I have never fell in love this way before. So I do not know what to do. I want to stay with him but it hurts a lot by doing so. :(

Things like this often happens in a relationship. you cannot expect a relationship to be just smooth sailing. if you dont fight and make up how would you even realize that there is love still there between you two?!! if it is only love throught, there would be a point where you would think that there is just posseivness between you and no love. Think about it. there are ups and downs in a relation and that is what makes a relation strong.

I know having a relationship got lots of ups and downs. And that is what I keep telling to myself. This is just a trial to make us stronger. But our current situation really hurts... A LOT... :(

Please have patience.Do not give up.Try to remind him about the good times you had together.Try to bring in a common friend of both of you and make him\her speak to him and make your partner understand the love you have for him.In case of fights stop blaming each other.

I am reminding him of those old times. But he'd only reply "I miss those times". And our fight gets worse. Both of us saying that we've changed. I am already doing my best putting my hands down just to make up with him. But after that, another fight between us will rise again. It just keeps going all over and over again. We live far away from each other seeing that we are still both young and still studying so our relationship only depends upon each other. We've got no friends in common to share our problem. :(

Well you have overcome a lot of trials and i am sure you are more stronger than before and much matured. Sometimes when times like what you are into, both couples need some space to think and to sort out things. So why not give him space and yourself and try to sort out things let him sort out things too. Anyway if both of you are really meant with each other then nothing could stop that. Your love and his love for you will be the thing that will bring both of you together at the right time and if not i know God has someone better for you.

Relationships always have thee times when they are very trying. It takes faith, communication, honesty, and trust to make it through. If you love him as you say, it is time to sit him down and discuss the issues at hand. When you do talk to him, do not go on accusing him of things, that will only make him defensive. Approach it from a team stand-point and try to find out what the BOTH of you can do to make things better. If you weather the storm, you will surely survive and become stronger as a couple.

Really,i am so sorry to hear that.now,i am 24 years old,frankly speaking,i have only one true love experience,it happended in my high school.he is so headsome,maybe you know,our chinese always express our love in a very introverted way,in fact,in about three years,we hardly dare to hand with eath other.in any way,we love each other deeply.unfortunately,at present,we have departed,for some reasons.it was that he left me.however now ,stilli love him,i know all the things never go back to the before.anyway,you still have many chances to communicate with your lover and figure out what happen to you.from your sayings ,as well as my experience,your love parnter still falls in love with you ,maybe what you need is just time and patience,Getting along with you for a relatively long time and know you well,your love is just getting thought a transition period of living with you.all the things always not so bad like what you have thought,try your best to adapt to such king of situation.fighting!havea great daywhen seeing my reply.

Your scenario is still the same with my friend. They've been together for almost 3 years. But eventually, they get married last August 2008. It really depends on you if you want to pursue that kind of relationship. I don't know much in your case but hey, give him a try. If you really love the person then better fight for it. But if he's been dating someone else then probably that's another story. I hate disloyalty...for me it's a crime though you still love the person. Have a happy MyLotting my friend :)

It´s quite simple, first of all, you have to question yourself "alright, I love him, but What does love mean to me?". I say this because a lot of people confuses the feeling love with compromise, and even with pity. And in second place, the most important people in your relationship is you, because if you don´t take care of yourself then no one will do. Do you really enjoy this relationship? Do you have more nice moments or obnoxious moments? What its better for you? This means, the answer is within you my friend.

first,i'm so sorry about what you are experiencing,but you know what, i'm just out of a serious love,and what's coincident is the reason why we can't be together any more is because both of us couldn't stand those things like yours.and maybe at taht time my ex-girlfriend could met the problems like yours,but you know,i don't understood her then,so i broke up with her,neither of us felt good,maybe she was worse,i did hurt her heart. when i think back the whole thing,all i can remember is that was all my fault then,she might feel hurt then,but i will blame myself for the rest of my life,just because i don't know why and how to cherish my girl,maybe your boy now is like this .so what i want to tell you is you have to prepare for that thing,you know,something unpleasant.i'm not here scare you,if things really go like what you said,it totally could happen,i'm a boy and i know boy .so from now on,think more about youself as well as the life without him, be wise,be well. good luck !

It is sad to read about the difficulties you have been facing in your relationship.I think the best way of reconciling with each other is to give time to each other to assess and reassess the priorities in life.You are too young for such turmoil in your life and your focus should be on studies and building up your career. I think if there is no loyalty,trust,faith,loyalty and understanding in the relationship then it should be critically assessed.What are your expectations from the relationship and how they are turning to be are some of the questions which need to be answered. All i can say that give yourself some time to ponder over your decisions.

If he's pushng you away, it means to stop this so called love for him. although it's so hard t do, but think of yourself, maybe its the time to let go of him despite of the struggles you had faced together. And in the end, you're not just the only broken that messing up. try to fix yorself, and move on.. you can do it girl! Godbless.. :)
