I've been seeing this guy for about a month, it's early days so obviously it's not serious but we had arranged to meet up this weekend just gone. We had nothing as such planned but in his own words he said he would meet me on Sunday "for definite". So Sunday came and I had no word from him. We were supposed to be meeting in the evening and it came to 4 o'clock so I decided to text him and ask him if he wanted to meet up and he said he was too hungover from the night before and would I mind if we left it. I didn't reply because I was too annoyed that 1. He didn't even bother to text me and 2. I think being hungover is a lame excuse anyway. It seems to me that maybe he's just not that interested and just can't tell me so he's making stupid excuses.

I'm wondering what I should do now. I haven't replied to him so he probably knows I'm annoyed. Should I wait to see if he contacts me or should I just write the whole thing off because he's not interested!

Thanks!

I know there are a million questions out there like this so I’ll try make this one short. I’m 6 months out of a relationship and I’ve met a new guy who seems really nice. My ex used to call me every day on my lunch hour and texted in between, even when we broke up he bombarded me with text messages, phone calls, emails and letters to try and get back with him and he is still at this. I got a letter the other day from him in the post. I was with him for three years so I’ve been conditioned to expect this kind of behaviour from men.

The new guy I met is really lovely and I feel like I’m out of my depth a bit, I met him two weeks ago and since then we’ve met for drinks once and been on a dinner date. He’s texted me since and is always the one to text first. I always reply to him so he must know I’m interested but the last two days there has been nothing. I know he has his own life and is probably busy but I’m wondering should I text first today just so it lets him know that I’m interested? I don’t want to scare him off either, he’s a really nice guy and I feel like I’ve encountered a very rare creature and one wrong move could scare him off! Lol! Any help would be appreciated! :)

I’ll try and keep this as short as I can. I was with my ex for a little over three years. He suffers from depression but was only diagnosed a year ago so for a lot of our relationship he was moody with me and took his issues out on me. We were happy sometimes but he would always do something wrong. I would break up with him and then he would beg me to get back and that he had changed and I would give him another chance. This has happened twice now. However, 3 months ago he broke up with me because he didn’t think we were right for each other. I warned him that if we broke up this time I wouldn’t be coming back. He didn’t contact me at all for two months. I was devastated but I also knew it was probably for the best given the way we had been with each other and all the fights we had.

A month ago he started contacting me again saying he wanted to be friends. I was happy with this as I had moved on in the two months and I was starting to see that this breakup was actually better for the both of us so I said yes let’s be friends. Now he is constantly texting me and ringing me asking me to get back with him. When I say no he keeps saying he’s a changed man and I owe it to him to give him another change. I’ve been very firm and said I don’t want to go back but it’s like he won’t take no for an answer. I feel like he’s going to keep harassing me until I get back with him and it just feels like blackmail. Everybody keeps saying to cut contact with him and that’s all well and good but he keeps saying things like “oh I don’t know what I’ll do if I’m on my own” and “can you take my antidepressants off me because I’m afraid I’ll overdose on them”. His family aren’t very supportive so I feel that it all lies with me in making sure he’s ok. Right now I feel so trapped and like I’ll never be free from his grip! What do I do?

I have just discovered I have ringworm on my thigh. I went to the pharmacy and got the necessary cream but it’s impossible to put it on three times a day like she said to do because with trousers it keeps rubbing it off. Would it work if I put the cream on and then covered it with a plaster or could that just make it worse?

I dont want to make this too long but I was seeing my boyfriend for just over 3 years. We had our ups and downs. Last October I wanted to break up with him and he didn't respect my wishes whatsoever. He sent me love letters, texts, rang me all the time, sent me flowers and tried all sorts of things to change himself. He started seeing a counsellor and even took antidepressants. So eventually after working things out we got back together. Things were going fine, or so I thought, until 3 weeks ago. (At this stage he had been off his antidepressants for two weeks).

He told me one night as we were going to bed that he thought we just weren't right for eachother and then broke up with me the next day. I dont understand what went wrong and why he would go to all this trouble to win me back last October just to dump me a few months later. I've respected his wishes and haven't contacted him at all but I want to move on with my life now and I don't think I can until I find out why he did what he did. He was so cold and clinical when he broke up with me taht it just didn't feel like him at all. Should I call him to get some closure or just let sleeping dogs lie and try forgot about the why's and if's and just move on with my life?

I’m trying to be firm with my ex boyfriend. Basically we’ve been going out for over two years but we keep on fighting. Every time we fight (and its usually over his ex girlfriend—the mother of his child) we break up and then reconcile after a week or so. Last week we broke up and this one stuck. Neither of us spoke for a whole week and then we spoke on Saturday and he said it was for the best and he was happy with it. Now he’s calling me saying he wants to get back together and can’t let me go. He was very upset and can’t understand why I don’t want to go back but to be honest I’m just exhausted. I can’t keep going back to him when fights like this keep happening. I’m trying to be the bigger person and do what is best for both of us but he feels like I’m betraying him.

His ex is very difficult and tries to stir up a trouble all the time, he can’t see the badness in her and of course I’m always nagging him about her. I’ve turned into somebody who nags 24/7 and I don’t even recognise who I am anymore. I explained all of this to him but his answer is that he needs the nagging to keep him in line. Basically, his ex is always trying to get back with him and he lets her walk in and out of his life as she pleases……..she’ll even call him and not ask about the child but just want to talk to him and they’ll chat away and he doesn’t think anything is wrong with this and I find it totally inappropriate. I’ve reached my wits end.

So now I’m not sure what to do. He keeps calling and texting but I think the best thing for us to do is to go our separate ways. I will never be comfortable with his relationship with his ex and I have to accept that she is around for the long haul. I can’t stay with him to make him happy because in turn I would be making myself miserable and stressing myself. Should I cut all ties with him or is it better to talk to him when he needs. I don’t want to give him false hope and I know I prob sound very unreasonable now but I have gone through a lot with this man and our last fight was just the straw that broke the camels back. I want to break this cycle……..help!

I've just downloaded a movie onto my iPod touch. It's in my iTunes Library at the moment but when I go to look for it on my iPod I can't find it! :)

I’m seeing a guy who has a child. He takes care of her full time and he pretty much has her 24/7. anyway, we have been together for over 2 years now and I thought things were pretty serious and going somewhere but now I’m not so sure.

Yesterday, we brought his child and 2 of my nephews to the cinema. One of my nephews and his daughter are the same age so they were pretty giddy and messing a bit. Kids will be kids I suppose!!!

Anyway, after the cinema we brought them for ice-cream and my nephew dropped his cone and picked it up and was going to eat it again (he’s only young) and my boyfriend says “don’t be so f—ing stupid”………..i couldn’t believe it. I am with his daughter 365 days a year pretty much and treat her really well. Believe me there are times when I run out of patience with her but I NEVER speak to her like that. He, on the other hand, seems to think his child is an angel and every other child is a brat! It seems like I make a huge sacrifice in spending time with his daughter and being patient with her and he can’t even be nice to my family for one day.

I don’t even want to be around him now. My nephew is only small and seeing him being given out to like that was horrible!

I know it would be pretty bad dumping somebody on valentines day but I think I’m pretty justified!! What do you think?

Basically, I’m in a serious relationship with a man who has a child and he takes care of the child full time. At the moment he is in the hospital staying with the child (nothing serious thank god!) and I’ve been in to visit them every day. I’ve even offered to stay in there with them but he said he didn’t want me to miss work. Anyway, I’ve been calling him on the phone a good bit and he’s been more than happy to talk because he’s bored in the hospital (as you can well imagine!).

Today I called and got a rather abrupt “can I call you back”………..so he called me back and it turns out the childs mother was there when I called. Now, I may be just overreacting here but I thought it was pretty lousy how he wants me around all the time but the minute the x shows up I’m forgotten about! All he had to do was leave the room and talk to me? am I overreacting?

Maybe it’s just me being childish but I felt so stupid for actually rushing in everyday after work and staying all hours at the hospital. I’m starting to think he wouldn’t be doing the same for me!

Not really sure if I’m overreacting at the moment or not. Basically the story is this. My mother is sick with cancer, she went in for her operation Tuesday and they operated yesterday. Yesterday was pretty much a waiting game. Waiting on the hospital to call to say how the operation had gone. I was in work and had my close friends text or call me to let me know they were thinking of me. My boyfriend, who I have been with for almost 2 years, rang me once at lunchtime and asked me how she was but had no comforting words to say and pretty much tried to change the subject and make me laugh. Now maybe it’s just me but at this time the last thing I want to do is laugh.

He was the same Wednesday night when I called into him. He tried to make a big joke of everything when really all I wanted was for him to give me a hug. Last night he called up. He has a child from a previous relationship who he takes care of full time. He had gotten a letter from his ex girlfriend wanting joint custody of their child and he was FUMING! I spent an hour with him talking, trying to make him feel better about the whole thing. So after our talk he asked me did I want to go for a drive. My father rang me from the hospital saying my mother’s operation went well and she was still out………..just the thought of her in the hospital with tubes hanging out of her made me upset and I was crying for a little bit. My boyfriend couldn’t even bring himself to put his arm around me! all he was saying was not to worry she’ll be fine. he makes me feel like I’m overreacting over these things and it makes me feel so alone because I stick through him with everything!

I’m starting to think he just doesn’t care! What do you guys think?

I've been with my boyfriend for nearly two years, I'm going through a pretty bad time at the moment. My mother has cancer and her operation is today, I could do with some support but my boyfriend is nowhere to be seen. He hasn't even called me.

I called up to his last night after being in the hospital and all he wanted to do was joke and change the subject anytime I wanted to talk about how I'm feeling. That pretty much shows how little he cares right? My sister has a husband who has been nothing but supportive since my mother was diagnosed. It seems all my boyfriend is worried about is when I can make time for him.........

I've been with my boyfriend a year and 9 months, I do love him a lot but he has a daughter and he takes care of her full time. When we first got togehter she was a lovely little toddler but now she's a 4 year old BRAT! Her mother gives her everything she wants when she has her and I think she's being a bad influence on her. As a result, lately I just can't stand to be around her. When I call up to my boyfriend I hope she's in bed or not around.

Will loving him be enough for the future or should I end it now because I know I will never love her as one of my own???

Anybody know any shops that sell Watercress, preferably in Ireland.

I'm pretty pissed off with my boyfriend at the moment, he started a new business a few months ago and it's in his dad's house so he's running the company but at the same time having a laugh with his brothers and mates etc which means he's stopped calling me. He used to call me at least twice a day and now I'm lucky if he calls me at all. I usually cave and end up calling him but today I thought I would leave it and see if he calls me.

Needless to say, he didn't bother. So I rang him after work really annoyed, he's having a laugh with his brothers and mates and is barely concentrating on talking to me at all. I'm starting to think why should I bother when he obviously doesn't give a crap about me. So my question is to all you lads, if you really cared about your girlfriend would you call her everyday or just leave it until she contacts you? Should I be taking this as a sign that I don't even come into his head at all?

My mother has colon cancer and wants to know can she dye her hair? she hasn't started her treatment yet.

Anybody know where they got Sian's charachter's dress in Corrie? It's gorgeous!

I'm with my boyfriend a year and a half, I love him to bits but I just feel like he doesn't reciprocate. He has a child from a previous relationship and has her full time and I have never had a problem with that but it does create strain in the relationship. Most couples have the first year to get to know eachother alone but we have a child on top of that. It's very hard.

For the first few months I didn't have any complaints because I was so mad about him I was blind! Now, after the first flutters have worn off I just see how hard things are getting. His daughter is always crying and being difficult with me. (I'm well aware that I sound like a ***** when I say this but she really is hard), I honestly don't think I can put up with her anymore.

I've just kept going with things because I love him but now he's acting moody and won't tell me how I feels about me so I'm thinking what is the point in putting up with his child. Up to now he's the love of my life but I feel deep down that maybe he doesn't feel the same. Is there any way I can find this out?

I know I'm rambling but seriously what can I do! :(

I’m struggling a bit at the moment wondering if my boyfriend is the one for me. We’ve been going out for a year and 4 months, he loves me and I love him and in some ways he is the BEST boyfriend but our relationship isn’t all plain sailing. First of all, he has a child from a previous relationship who he looks after full time. His crazy ex girlfriend is still in the picture which doesn’t make things any better. She’s obnoxious to me and there’s no other way around it, she’s ALWAYS going to be in his life. Also, his daughter can be quite rude to me too; she’s only 4 so we can excuse that as it’s not nice for her sharing her Daddy with me. But that’s enough to put up with.

Yesterday I called up to him, my parents had bought his child a toy and she was looking for it and I asked him where it was and he said “oh that crap thing I threw it in the bin”…………….my parents treat my boyfriends child like the rest of their grandkids and I thought that was a REALLY rude thing to say. Fair enough, he could have thrown it out but just lie about it or use a bit of TACT. I was disgusted to tell the truth.

He’s unemployed at the moment so maybe that’s what has him down but to be honest I have to stop thinking of him. I’m constantly making excuses for him like………he’s a single parent, he works long hours, he’s had a hard life but what about me? I think I deserve a nice boyfriend so, what I’m asking is, does anybody else think he was pretty rude to do that with the toy? Maybe I’m overreacting and I would like a second opinion.

Hi, I'm looking for a part time hairdressing course in Ireland, anybody got any ideas on where to go? Google just leads me to Galway which is too far away for me.

I've been with my boyfriend for a year and 2 months. I do love him very much but I don't find myself getting as excited to see him as I used to be. I see him pretty much everyday and a few months ago I used to look forward to us meeting up and now it's just a part of my day.

Is this all part of being with somebody longterm or just a phase? I know I've gone through phases where he annoys me but sooner or later I always come back to being absolutely CRAZY about him it's just this time I'm not sure if that'll happen!

Should I be worried?
