Lioness

My ex boyfriend of two months and I still live together and are trying to reconcile. He has a male "friend" that he has known for awhile. He introduced me to him fairly early in our relationship two years ago.

FF~ I have met with the "friend" twice at Starbucks to talk and console him cause he's going through a divorce. He starts telling me that he felt my ex was wrong for me from the start and that I'm too good of a woman for him and that he had been cheating on me the entire time. Now, this same "friend" also admitted to me that he was attracted to me and wants me to invite him to our house so my ex could hear us sleep together (not that I would agree to this)!

What is weird about this is, my ex ALWAYS came home and I NEVER worried where he was cause he'd tell me where he was going, who he was going with, or either invite me to go with him. This "friend" knows that I love my ex and we're trying to reconcile.

Is he telling me the truth about my ex or trying some backhanded $hit? What would you think? Thanks!

Me and my love would've been together 2 yrs next month. We split about a month ago. We live together and neither wants the other to move out (we just moved in June).

We had good times and I love him dearly. I messed up by becoming critical and spicy tongued towards him. I do appreciate him, but never told him. I questioned his love for me, but he isn't a verbal man, he is an action man and he'd been showing me all along. We had a slight disagreement and he decided to split.

Since, I have done A LOT of thinking and realized my faults and have made changes. I apologized and asked for his forgiveness. I have asked him to rekindle. I hurt everyday as I now know how to love him the way that he needs and deserves. I asked if I was too late? He said, maybe and asked why didn't I say something sooner? I said that I used the time for serious thinking. He said he respected that.

He said that he'd think about it, but hasn't said anything. VERY early one morning, I went into the room that he now sleeps in and had sex with him. I was quite surprised that I was well received and when he held me, it seemed like nothing had changed and everything was ok. When we saw each other later, he was back to his stoic mood; like he remembered that we had split again.

I continue to take care of him daily. We still talk, laugh, and eat meals together too.

Now that I've asked him to take me back and told him how I felt, what else can I do to get him back?

Please help! Thanks.

He has a cat and has had it before we met. Although I am very allergic to cats, I tolerated it because I love him. But lately since we've sealed the deal and live together, I have to compete against the cat for his attention ALL of the time. When we are cuddling on the sofa or in bed, the cat will come over and he'll let me go to rub the cat. He sleeps with the cat and even speaks to it BEFORE me when he comes home from work. This happens more frequently than not.

So I asked him one day, if our house was burning down and the firefighter said that he could only save three things, what would they be? Do you know that he named the cat FIRST, then me!!! I was so hurt.

Since I am HUMAN and do a lot FOR and WITH him, why is his devotion towards this cat and not me?

What would you do if you were me?

I am a second semester pre-med junior at a university. I am an older student and just transferred (this semester) to this school to finish my degree and I am an observer by nature.

Today we had an exam in Advance Anatomy and Physiology and as I finished my exam, I began to look around the room, contemplating my answers before turning it in. I saw three students obviously cheating, not together. These students SAW that I noticed and still continued.

The university has a no nonsense policy about integrity and honor and requires ALL students to sign a promise to uphold it.

My dilemma is, what should I do with the information that I know? If I tell my professor (even anonymously), the students will know that I said something. Since I am new and older, I am just getting my classmates to communicate with me and not treat me like an alien and I don't want to be labeled a snitch.

However, if I don't say something I am not upholding my agreement of honor and integrity. Ethically I know it is the right thing to do. These are future doctors and dentists and I would be afraid to allow those three to do any work on me knowing that they cheated their way through school.

What would you do if you were in my situation?

I consider myself friendly, kind hearted, a good listener, and fun. I am full time 4.0 pre med student (with HARD classes this semester, and even harder ones to come next) so my academics take precedence in my life and I don't always have loads of money. But I can't seem to find a friend who understands that. I will meet someone (even students too) and laugh and talk, we can hang out, and then I must get back to my studies. Then my "friends" disappear. When I have money and free time, then all is good. But when I am broke or its study/exam time then, POOF!!

Someone told me that these people are jealous of me, but how? I am a full time student, 1 child, no husband/boyfriend, no job ( I live off of my scholarships and grants). What is there to be jealous of? Please help with kind suggestions. I do not know what I am doing wrong.

My 19 y.o daughter and I have not been close since she was 16 when she became a ward of the state then emancipated. She lied to police and accused me of abusing her. I was arrested but the charges were dismissed because the only witness to that particular day verified in court that she was lying. But recently she has contacted me to try to get close to me and her younger brother. I occasionally text her and have seen her twice.

I went on her FB and noticed that she and my arch enemy (another person who tried to put me in jail by lying on me, again the charges were dismissed, because she never appeared in court ). The last thing this woman said to me was that she was going to make sure that the rest of my life was miserable. She believes and practices the occult, and said this like she was putting a hex on me.

I do not want anything to do with this woman but the fact that my daughter associates regularly with her, makes me irritated because I believe these two women have ill will for me.

It is hard because she is my daughter and I love her and want her to be a part of the family again but on the other hand I am afraid of the mental anguish that she can again put me through.

I was told to leave her alone and never look back but how can I do that to my own daughter. Please help. What would you do?

My son is really a sweet and loving guy. Although he's almost 16, I have never really heard him talking about girls, talking to girls, nor do girls call the house. He only really talks to his best friend (a guy) on the phone. When I come to pick him up from school, I never see girls talking to him.

So, I asked him in a round about way if he was gay. He asked me if I thought that he was. I told him that it was ok if he was but I just wanted to know. He then said that I wouldn't ask if I didn't think that he was. I told him that I genuinely wanted to know, no judgment. He said no and I told him the same concerns that I've said here. He attends a somewhat small school with more male students than female, he says that there are only 2 girls in his small 10th grade class and he doesn't like either.

I do not mind either way if he is or isn't gay but now his whole demeanor has changed. He's solemn and doesn't talk or laugh with me as he once did. I didn't mean to offend him, I was just curious and I didn't ask like I would be disgusted if he said yes. I asked him what was wrong, if he's ok and he says nothing is wrong and that he's ok, but his actions say different.

I am afraid that I made a mistake by asking and I do not know what to say or do to make him feel better about my concerns. What would you say or do?

Please explain, thank you so much.

I recently met a guy online 2 months ago, we have seen each other once but communicate daily. We both want to be in a committed relationship (not just have sexual encounters) but have agreed to take things slowly. He travels out of the country a lot on business and I am a med student and we both have minor children, so we are both rather busy but have promised to make time for each other.

My problem is that while I am extremely appreciative of the fact that he is respectful enough to not rush things, he is moving TOO slowly. I want to date him, do things with him, hang out, etc....DATE! We are from different cultures and ethnicities, so I am not sure how he will take it if I take the lead. He says that he is shy and it doesn't help that I am too.

I do not know what to do here. I am very interested in him and we have great chemistry but we are both tiptoeing around trying not to offend each other, meanwhile nothing is being done.

What can I do? I am afraid that if I do not do anything that things will fizzle and die and we will never have the opportunity to have the great relationship with each other that we both want.

Any mature answers/ suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

My son is a rising 10th grader and I want to move to another state next spring/summer. I just cannot stand to live in the state where I am any longer, I am miserable (no jobs, it's boring, etc.) However, I do not know if moving in the middle of my son's high school career is the best thing to do. I am unsure if his existing credits will meet the new state's graduation requirements, if a move would socially destroy him, etc.

I am so perplexed because I want the best for him academically yet I have to consider whether or not I can provide for him financially and emotionally.

Please help with any useful advice or suggestions. Thanks.

I caught him cheating. As far as I am concerned its a done deal. I called him yesterday to make arrangements for him to get his sh*t. He didn't answer but texted me a few hours later with a lie about being at a meeting. Who would have a serious.meeting on the Saturday before a holiday? Anyway! Lie! I didn't respond. Today he calls me but I was busy so I let it go to voicemail. He sounded happy on the message. He texted me a few hours later asking whats up.

He basically told me that things were done between us when he tried to protect that b*tch when I was going to confront her.

So why is he calling and texting me? Can't he get the hint that I have moved on since he has?

I suspected him of cheating so I got an additional phone line, created a fake Tagged account, and started sexting him. He fell for it seriously. After going back and forth for several weeks, he texted me to stop calling and texting him and called me by my name. I denied being me.

He's basically busted as far as I am concerned ,my male friends say that what I did was entrapment like dangling a steak in front of a lion. Now I feel bad but should I take his comment seriously and stop calling him for real?

All I wanted was to see if he was cheated or would he cheat if the opportunity should arise.

Should I call him tomorrow? I feel like if I don't then I will be admitting thart it was me afterall. What would you do or say?

He's so selfish. He even admits it. I love him but I am unsure how to deal with his selfishness when I am a kind and giving person.

Please help. Thanks.

If a man is/ has cheated on his wife in their house/bedroom?

How should the wife handle this?

If a man is/ has cheated on his wife in their house/bedroom?

How should the wife handle this?

Are there obvious signs that a guy has moved on?

How do I get over the pain and heartbreak when he has made himself my entire world?

This is in response to the answers from my previous question~

We have been together for two years and I love him very much. We are both 40+ and this is his third time around and my second.

Things started out hot and heavy and now have come to a lull. We don't spend as much time together as we used to, we used to go to the mall, the park, the movies, etc, but now all we do is spend time at home and much of that is spent watching TV and him being GLUED to his laptop. Oh yeah, we did go out Saturday to Home Depot to get rat poisoning (BIG FUN, right?). He used to call me throughout the day but that has dwindled down to MAYBE a call mid day and he'll SOMETIMES call when he's on his way home from work. He used to look forward to and rant and rave about my dinners, now he just nibbles it in front of me then put it in the fridge. We used have sex often now it's more often not; the last time was Mother's Day.

I always had my suspicions of him cheating and have confronted him about them. He always denied it and I told him that I'd leave if I found out and that I will NOT share crop! He told me that I wouldn't and gave me the "yeah right" look. I found that that he has a Tagged account, so I created a fake one and waited. Sure enough, he flirted with me, told me he was SINGLE and sent his phone number.

Now that I have the proof, I am crushed and I know that I need to leave. I want to know what is the best way to walk away when my heart is aching and my feelings are hurt. If I were more angry it would be easy.

I have given this man my ALL and I am spent. It hurts so much because of all times for all this to happen, I just had a serious knee injury, lost my job because of it, and have very little money. It's the sense of betrayal that hurts so much. How do I get the strength to walk away? How do I heal my heart (it feels like a tractor is on my chest)? I have no friends or family (he's alienated me from everyone) so I am all alone. Please advise.

I feel that our time together has come to an end. I love him so much but I don't feel that he is happy with me anymore. I think he just accepts me as a part of his life. We are at the "lull" stage of the relationship and he has started to look elsewhere I feel. We don't talk anymore in person or on the phone (maybe 20 minutes ALL day).

I love him enough to not stand in the way of his happiness. I feel that I should just let him go and be happy. In a conversation we recently had, I asked him why do men cheat when they have a woman, why not just leave the woman? He says oh, you gotta' have a woman. Isn't that an admission of cheating?

When is it ok to take a step back from a relationship for the other person's happiness? Does that make me a cope out? Is that like giving a free pass for him to leave and be with someone else? I don't want to be with someone who is just "tolerating" me, I want him to WANT to be with me.

If you've been through this, how did you get the strength to do it. How did you deal with the heartache of the loss? I don't know what to do here. Please advise.

His mom is having surgery to have toes removed (she's diabetic) and she needs knee replacement surgery and we live several states away. He desperately wants to go there to see her but neither of us can finance the trip right now. I can see how very stressed/worried he is about her and I try to stay out of his way and not say anything to upset him. I'm allowing him to be in his "man cave".

I tore some cartilage in my knee and have been limping/walking slowly for days. My job has forced me to take medical leave and I cannot return to work until my knee has healed (my job requires that I do a lot of walking). He has noticed and inquired but I don't have the heart to tell him what's going on with me because I don't want to further stress him. Money is tight and I feel that he will fall deeper into depression because of my not working. He is so withdrawn when he's depressed. I am doing everything within my power to hide how serious my knee really is and how much pain I am in.

I know that he will find out eventually since I will have surgery soon but how can I tell him without him being more worried and depressed? I love him so much and I don't like for him to be emotionally hurting. Please help.
