    Hello Kevin,

    I broke up with my bf couple of times cuz of my jealousy and I guess trying to control him, he and I met while we were working at the same office and before we started I ask him if he has a gf as I’ve heard he has a gf but he said no and we started and later I learnt that he had finished his 2,5 years of relationship over the phone to start with me…after 6 months we had to quit working at that office and he moved to another city but he and I were all together everyday and talking on the phn for hours then I found a job and moved to his city and we started to live together with ups and downs, our plan was to go abroad together but it didnt happen for some reasons and he found a job and started to work,and all started after he had to start working at a job he didnt want and I mentioned about marriage and stuff, we started to argue over I left him and I quit the job and came back home then he kept sending text msgs all blaming me all was my fault and everything I felt guilty then we started to talk over the phn again, then I was not comfortable seeing us apart and wanted to come together but all he thought was finding a better job to go abroad either me or he but nothing happened, we started to argue over again…like this its gonna be for 2 years next month…2 months ago I got a job offer from somewhere in his city and I was going to come back home to get my stuffs to move in to his house again but just before this cuz of jealous I argued with him again and he changed his mind about me moving and that put me down so bad told myself I’ll never ever talk to him again cuz of what he did after I set out everything to start over..I came back home and couple of days later he started sending me emails and text messages telling me why I did all those sht and I ruined his life and put him desperate and he did feel choked, I didnt answer then he started telling me about his life which is miserable and hes worth for nothing and his illlness, he mentions about it as if he ll die or something, he caught me on my weak part and I started worrying about him and talked to him again everyday sending him text msgs calling him to see how he is doing etc…then one day I called him again and I felt he kinda changed like he got bored with my care about him telling me that I dont have to bare with him and his problems that he is always mourning and not being satisfied with anything then I told him to finish it he accepted and I got very angry that I felt he used me,I couldnt accept it and argued over, asked him whether he loves me or not if he doesnt then I will go on with my own life he said he cant say somethin he doesnt feel, I did feel miserable same night called him again as he was having dinner with his parents he said ok we can talk, he told me that he is like himself with me but we are not matching, went on he becomes something bad when he is with me like he get spoiled or something and the right thing is to suffer for once than suffering for whole life, saying that I was impatient from the beginning for things and he did feel choked, had no space then told me to call me back after the dinner I said ok but I didnt pick up his call, next day he sent me msgs telling he called back asking why didnt answer, again called I picked up and I didnt feel like talking I had the hate feeling he said sorry for disturbing and hung up…4 days later he called again, didnt answer sent me text msg saying; was only curious about how you doing , if I disturbed then sorry…then sent me a song link via whatsapp…didnt answer…after that he didnt call or messaged for two weeks then I called him unfortunately and spit fire, told him some bad things as I was very angry that he finished it like that easy just for calling twice..next day I called him again which was my last call and I was chill and relax at that time telling me what will happen if we start over again the same things will happen but I didnt mention to start over or anything…then he was curious and said; you dont think about marrying me anymore I guess or maybe marrying some other I went on no not thinking about it…he meant to say that we may talk again like friends maybe first I said oh why not as sarcastic then I said no I cant be as friends then he said I guess I cant be either and I dont want to see you with someone else…then said somethings more about our relationship and asked me what I think I said I dont have anything to say he said why I said somethings and you go blank, said just like that…anyway this was the last talk and it will be one week tomorrow…please advice, I sometimes feel ok I can move on but sometimes I just cant handle with the thoughts what if he forgets me, finds someone etc…I’m sorry it was a long type…please say some words…thanks a lot I do appreciate it!

    What you both need is some space. It is the only option.

    Apply 30-day NC. No texting, no answering to him. Nothing.

    If he pesters you, you can “kindly” say you both need some space now and you will contact him when you are ready.

    The arguments sometimes take toll on both parties. And you can only assess it throughly when you look from outside. Most of the time they are easily fixable.

    Do work on yourself. Don’t be obsessed with him while you do the NC. You need to take your mind off of him for at least a month. Occupy yourself with new things in your life. Go to places you’ve never been, meet new people and gain new experiences. You should feel good about yourself before you can start any sort of relationship with someone. And know that your ex needs the same thing too. This is the only way to meet in the middle and acknowledge what you mean to each other.

    @Malinda The only similarities between your story and mine is that you were perhaps jealous and mistrusting of your Ex and what he had told you about his previous relationship when he first started seeing you.

    Mistrust at the start of a relationship will cause your partner to pick up on something being wrong, although it may take them some time to figure out what might be the issues that are causing you concern.

    You also have the anger issues which is confusing to us men, as it shows us that you still care about us very much but feels like you are being nasty to us and purposefully trying to upset us, or look for any kind of reaction from us as you are still hurting from the break up.

    It was me that initiated the split from my Ex as I sensed that she was keeping her options open because she thought that I was a serial liar and a cheat. It is also me who has done most of the chasing pre split. She is in a rebound relationship still I think (at least she had been for a month prior to me starting NC).

    I have never cheated on anyone in my life strictly speaking and to hear the woman that I love keep saying that hurts.

    You need to go NC for at least 30 days, work on yourself and consider your relationship carefully. Some good advice can be found in Ryan Rivers – Relationship Rewind.

    I am currently on day 18 of a planned 35 day NC and although I had a weak moment where I felt like contacting my Ex between days 10 and 12, I now feel stronger for getting through that period. I am even considering extending my NC period through Christmas and up until the New Year.

    Anyway good luck with whatever you decide to do Malinda. I wish that my Ex would put in half the effort that you currently are.

    @sparky Thank you for the comment and all the best with getting her back..My ex is a Scorpio and eventhough he kept saying that he is not such flirter at all but I did feel he really is and he is social and real good in relations with people he has some kind of attraction on people specially women Im feeling…and at some times it drove me crazy!

    I’m on day 7 of NC and sometimes I miss him badly, sometimes thinking that he’s forgetting me and enjoying his life, not thinking of me at all…he will never commit cuz I made alot of mistakes and it all became overwhelming for him he felt choked, now I realize and thinking about whatever I have done to make him feel that way… its all yucky. sigh

    You know, I’m not even sure if I want my Ex back anymore Malinda. She contacted me about 10 hours ago saying that she needed my help with something and I am not responding. If she had listened to the advice that I had previously given her then she wouldn’t need to be asking for this advice now. I’m not my Ex’s emotional punch bag to run to whenever she is in trouble while she is treating me like a mug in return.

    My Ex will have to take a look at her behaviour since the split and start being more open and honest about her feelings and what has happened over the last few months. If she wants my friendship then it’s a two way thing and she best start working on it or I want nothing to do with her.

    Thank you for your best wishes though.

    Yes, they have to learn how to behave us but its just up to us I guess, at least for me it was all my mistakes and what kind of person he became now is all because of me..sometimes I think the same way like giving up on him but then suddenly he just gets me right in my mind or in me somewhere its just hard to explain but you know..

    don’t let her treat you like a mug, it will make you feel worse and miserable…you didnt have no any contact during that 18 days ? And did she get back with something to you in any way ?

    I believe that it is also upto our personal lifes, right now I don’t have a job and I’m not doing the things I enjoy and I don’t know what to do with my life and all these affects me more because all those happen because of him, I feel miserable and he just finished it while I feel weak in any way and thinking this make me feel worse cuz I was there all the time when he was having hard time with his life and when I thought about finishing our relationship he used my weakness, did emotional blackmail with him becoming sick often…and now I think this if I have a good job and doing what I enjoy, would I still want to be with him and miss him…I dont know I have to be in that situation to tell it I guess but now I’m trying to get there hopefully soon then I will see if my deep feelings are still there for him…

    Hi Malinda,

    Give him time for a bit..
    Show him that your sorry…
    Emotional blackmail is a great no no for us guys (I guess).

    The first step though is to fix yourself first…
    Show him that you’ve change… For the Better…

    Emotional Blackmail,

    If you truly love someone, why would you do that.
    We (guys) or most of us hates being manipulated…
    If a girl do that to us it would somehow make us think that she is very unstable and crazy (sorry for the word)…

    My ex use this on me several times… i don’t even know what to say…
    It was really hard…

    Hope you guys will patch things up…
