I feel really undervalued and unappreciated in every arena of my life. I'm already in therapy. What can I do to quiet these feelings? My boyfriend of six months recently dumped me because he said he didn't love me. My best friend ditched me again to have dinner with her girlfriend after she told me she would have dinner with me, so I didn't get to to out for Thai tonight and ate a microwave dinner ... used and unappreciated. This was a problem before I got dumped - I think it contributed to the breakup. I never felt unappreciated by him, but I ...

Hi. So I am a 30 year old woman dating a 37 year old guy. We started dating back when I was 22 and he was 29. I was pretty young then really now I think about it. Early days were great. However we've now been in a rut for the past 8 months or so and I'm starting to question whether I should make the effort to help fix things,... or whether it might be better to breakup. What is it like to be a ...

Why did you break up? More specifically, you thought you found someone you're compatible with, you guys mutually made a commitment, but yet you ended up breaking up a year or two later, or later in life. What was the reason for the breakup? I am in a great relationship. We both talked about wanting to be together forever, we talked about all the big things that couples should agree on, we both ...

I behaved in a similarly disturbing way as the type of person disclosed in this this post, the only difference was that I was desperate for friendship and was not and never thought of this person in a romantic way. I still feel so ashamed for over disclosing and acting in an insecure way with a coworker despite a couple of years passing by. How can I truly move past this and forgive myself? A ...

Why is it that some people never seem to recover after a bad break-up or divorce? You know those people...the sort of "empty shell" folks who walk around perpetually sad or simply damaged in some way that keeps them frozen in place. I ask this question on behalf of myself--as I not-so-recently went through a break-up with a man I considered to be THE ONE--but also because I knew someone ... , I'm reasonably attractive and have a lot to offer; and I absolutely DON'T mention the breakup to new people that I meet, and yet, nearing the end of ...

Boss wants to talk about why I haven't been in the office that much these past few months and why my work is not up to par. I've been struggling with depression. How can I talk to him about this? I work in a very small group at a university. Culture is very relaxed, and we rarely go through HR about anything. Boss is nice and seems to care about employees, but I would not consider us friends (more ... working from home, but from now on, I will come into the office more.

When you're in a long term relationship or marriage, how do you deal with feelings of jealousy of other couples seemingly endless "honeymoon phase"?

Justice Department (apparently) blocks the merger of AT+T and T-Mobile. The Associated Press is reporting that Justice will block the deal because "would reduce competition and raise prices." Sprint, the US #3 carrier, objected to the deal, as did many consumer groups. If the merger denial survives the probable court challenge, AT+T will be on the hook for up to US$6 Billion in ...

How do you deal with the loss of what turned out to be something you never had? Social engineering relationship question I found out that an evolving intimate written relationship - call it a penpal - was a social engineering game. I was the "real player" between two teams, one whose goal was to make me leave and one whose goal was to evoke enough emotion to make me stay. I am in a ... . Luckily I am not there and much older. Any advice welcome - this is neither a conventional breakup nor a traditional loss. ...

How do you get over someone that dumped you out of the blue and says they will never speak to you again? About a year ago I was happily in love with a guy whom I was sure I would marry. We were inseparable, and he seemed almost more smitten with me than I was with him. He would tell me constantly that I was perfect, that he never wanted to be with another girl, that we would be married with kids ... don't believe he was being dishonest with me, which makes it all the stranger. Right after the breakup he did unleash a list of minor grievances ...

Please give me some hope. I'm 32. I am going through a bad break up. The relationship lasted 1.5 years. It's been only a few days since the break up and I'm trying to act normal and go about normal life even as I find myself tearing up in my stupid cubicle at work. I do not plan to ever have contact with the ex again and so far have had no contact since the breakup. I need to make a clean ...

How to deal with the guilt of leaving a spouse with a house they can't afford? I am seriously considering divorcing my husband (who I have been with since we were both 17, married for 3 years). I think now that we are in our late 20s, we have just grown into incompatible people. I've been going back and forth (with my own therapist & in couples therapy) with whether there is any way we ... we've been together for all of our adult lives ... and honestly, neither one of us has ever had a breakup like this before. And the biggest issue ...

To those of you in love: can it ever grow from hesitancy into the real deal? Or does it need to be BAM: we're mad about each other? I have been seeing a fellow for the last 3 and a half months - we met through mutual friends, were instantly attracted to one another, turned out to have a lot of things in common, and have been seeing one another since. But after the initial period of excitement ... . I spend much more time thinking about him than I should.

How does the dumper feel? Most of the posts on this forum are about dumpees and how to deal with the pain. How the one that initiated the breakup is an idiot, doesn't know how lucky he is, will come to regret it later...etc. But what about dumpers? How does it go for them? For example, I've experienced horrible guilt and a lack of self-worth for inflicting pain on someone I love. But there's ...

I am living in limbo in my relationship, not fully commiting or making efforts to make it better, but too scared to end it too. If I decide to go "all in" what sort of things should I do to make this relationship work? I am a 39 year old man in my first long-term relationship, which has lasted almost 6 years. We are a good match on many levels and I do feel loved, I have no complaints ... I decide to end it then my actions are fairly straightforward although I imagine dealing with the breakup and the guilt will be anything but. However ...

Over the past year, I have slowly been dumped by a friend... I think? Should I just let her go? How to deal with the hurt feelings? What questions should I be asking about my own role in the breakup? Not long ago, a friend, let's call her Lisa, stopped returning most of my communications and started breaking plans with me. A lot. We are both very, very busy, but it's gotten to the point now where ...

I had a very deep relationship with a woman a couple of years ago. She ended it and my reaction, to say the least. was not the best (no violence or threats).
