He or she just couldn’t (or didn’t want to) disassociate old problems from your persona and start anew, which is […]
If your ex blocked you after no contact, your ex probably did that because you reached out or because you made your ex feel uncomfortable when he or she reached out. Either way, you probably said or did something you shouldn’t have, so your ex felt that he or she had no choice but to
When a guy wants a break, you need to understand that you’re no longer a couple. You’re an ex-couple who experienced an emotional separation, also known as a breakup. The word “break” is just a nicer word for the breakup. Your ex said it to soften the blow and make it easier for himself to
When a guy ends a relationship with you but still contacts you, he either doesn’t know what your post-breakup needs are or doesn’t care what your needs are.

If your ex ignores you and you’re wondering what that means, you need to understand that ignoring usually happens for one of two reasons. Your ex doesn’t respect you.

Whether it’s been weeks, months, or years since your ex left, rest assured that your ex still thinks about you from time to time. It may not be as often as you think about your ex because your ex is the dumper, but your ex still thinks about you when something reminds your ex of
In relationships, most women love receiving love letters from their boyfriends and hearing how their boyfriends feel about them. Love letters tell them their boyfriends are grateful and that they accept their girlfriends just the way they are. The realization that they’re loved empowers women with feelings of acceptance and safety and makes them look
