Well here goes... recently my relationship with my boyfriend has changed dramatically! Yes, relationships do change over time, but what I mean by that is he's gone from a complete sex maniac to having practically no contact of that nature at all now.

These days he is constantly up the pub and anything I say seems to bug him! Our relationship to begin with was such a loving one!  We were always out and about wouldn't go anywhere without each other!  Everywhere I went he went and vice versa!

But now we hardly go anywhere with each other and if we do then I have to get an invite first.  Instead of just going out I actually need to be invited these days, because if he doesn't invite me and I go out anyway there’s always a big argument and it’s a case of "no one even invited you out."

A couple kissing

It’s breaking my heart to even think that he could be cheating on me or even up to something that’s dodgy!  I just feel absolutely useless and helpless sometimes!  Every time I try to talk about this to him he always says "Aw, not this again" and walks away!

I don’t know if anyone out there knows the answer or wants to try and help me solve this problem, but all is welcome thanks x

It doesn't matter if he's cheating or not.
You're NOT HAPPY!
You have tried talking to him and he walks away.
That's a clear sign that he's not emotionally invested in the relationship.
When someone loves you they want to know what they can do to make you happy.
It's time for you to move on to a man who will love and appreciate being around you.
Time heals all wounds and bad experiences make you smarter.

My girlfriend of three years and I have virtually no sex life (usually 2-3 times a year on average), due to a medical condition sex is extremely painful for her and multiple doctors have said that short of expensive surgery that may or may not work, nothing can really be done about it. Unfortunately the pain has turned her off to almost all forms of physical intimacy, she has no sexual desires whatsoever and usually leaves me to deal with mine with the help of Playboy or the internet.

My friends and family all think I should leave her because of this. I won't, I love her more and more every day, and I have not a doubt in my mind that she's the person I want to wake up next to each morning for the rest of my life, and have a home and family with. I can see where they're coming from: we're both 23 and cuddling is about the only physical contact we ever have and that in their opinion is not normal. Don't get me wrong, it is VERY frustrating not being able to have any real intimate contact with the woman I love, and its even more frustrating that it really isn't her fault and the situation is likely never going to change. I've accepted it for what it is, and just wish my family and friends would get off my case about it.

I found out recently that my so called devoted husband has been cheating with slappers even before our marriage. It was a shock as I trusted him all these years. Now I just don't know what to do. All the memories I once treasured mean nothing now. I think I'm heading for a breakdown. I never knew he was such a sleaze.

There's no such thing as love anymore not with the internet.

"We’re a leading women’s weekly ...........


rebekah.scanlan@gmail.com "

Not very plausible.

A bit like these Niggerian scams where the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Nigeria writes from a Yahoo.com email address!

Have you moved in with someone too quickly?

Was it not long after meeting them?

Did it ruin your relationship?

If the answer to the above questions is yes,yes,yes, then we want to hear from you.

We’re a leading women’s weekly looking for people who’ve moved in with their partner within a week or so of meeting, but later found that the relationship was doomed.

You’ll be willing to share your experiences and explain why the relationship didn’t work out, and in return you’ll be rewarded for your time.

So if you or any of your friends have taken the plunge with a new partner and it’s turned sour, we’d love to hear from you.

Please email a brief outline of your story, a contact telephone number and a photo of you and your ex to:

rebekah.scanlan@gmail.com

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Scooterb27 - it's so tragic and painful. I would not put my life on hold nor hold my breath. Keep scootin' and a move-on for there's more to life than sit and mourn and pine.

Once love is dead, it cannot be revived. That's the nature of the beast. So get her out of your life once and for all. I'm no Dear Abbey, but do it! Write to Dr Phil if you still have nightmares.

I am a man plagued by an unhappy wife. I believe that I have done everything I can to show her that I love, care and have immense desire for her. Unfortunately she is constantly accusing me of doing things that I would never dream of. I've tried talking to her but she is growing increasingly tiered of talking and shows no sign that she desires me in any way, shape or form. I'm not sure what to do with myself or her anymore. I feel like we've grown so far apart that the chance of restoration is slim, although complete restoration is what I desire. I'm not sure this is what she wants. We can't even sit in a room together without arguing about the most minuscule details of life. I'm at my wits end.

If you are writing this you already know he is not in to you and that the relationship is not working. Save yourself some time and heartbreak by getting out while you can and not looking back. If you can't be respected you need to find someone else. He's just a weiner who will resent you instead of be frank with you and say hit the road.

My ex and I dated for 4 years and recently broke up over a bunch of hurtful issues. I have now come to a place where I know that it was his issues that caused everything to go wrong.Yes, I admit I may have given too much, but since when is being loving, understand, sexy, adventurous in bed and supportive so bad.

We met up recently and spoke and he says that he wants to be with me and that he cant see himself with another girl (I don't know if I believe him). He may be keeping me around until that day comes where he wants to settle down with me. We have incredible chemistry and are highly attracted to each. We are both 26 years old, could I be growing up faster than him, sometimes he has the mentality of a 15 years old.How do I in essence make him see what he is has lost, so I go out and party, get a new man, revamp my look. what do I do? Anyone out there who may be able to advise me?

Its really terribly hurtful when you fell in love with one person and he slowly starts changing into someone you dont know. The fact that he is cold and makes excuses to see you is a definate sign of something dogdy. I speak from experience. Told tolerate the excuses and him him treating you in a weird manner that wasnt there before. Get to the root of the problem and make your decision from that
