No Response From My Ex How Should I Proceed?
Question: First of all I want to say thank you so much for your book and website. I was doing NC but after buying your book, I texted her with a “just wanted to say hello”. She replied immediately saying it was good to hear from me. We hadn't talked for 3 weeks, so I was really happy when she responded right away. I waited a couple of days [...]
Will My Ex-Boyfriend Contact Me?
Question: My boyfriend of 7 years (we’ve been together since college), told me he was breaking up because we do not want the same things. We have had a few break ups in the past but got back together. Looking back, it seems that we just found ourselves back in the relationship but it was really me who made the effort to get him back. This time [...]
What Do To When Your Ex Is Playing Mind Games
A client asked me the other day, “What would you do if your ex was playing mind games?” The “Love Coach” in me wanted to go straight to “advice mode” but then I remembered that I wasn’t always a love doctor. There was a time in my life when I did some things that were not so “loving”, and I write about this in my Dating Your [...]
My Ex Wants Me Back But I Have Feelings For Someone Else
Question: My ex and I kept in contact after the break-up and still hang out from time to time. We were together for nearly four years and are best friends and it just didn’t make sense not to stay in contact.

Question: My ex and I grew apart over the course of a 4-year relationship. We both could see how the other was changing and wanted different things but despite all that we tried to make it work.

Help! I’m Losing My Boyfriend – What Should I Do Pt.1
Question: My boyfriend and I have been together a good 5 years. But the last one and half years have been really hard on both of us.

Why Won’t She Just Let Me Go?
Last night, I had a brief but interesting chat with a gentleman who approached me after hearing me introduced as a Love Doctor. “I wonder if you can help me with my situation” he said drawing me aside. "It's about a woman I've been seeing on and off for the last four years". For 20-or-so- minutes he told me about the woman he loves. The [...]
Can I Still Get Back My Ex After Two Years?
Question: I bumped into my ex-girlfriend and she’s even more beautiful than when we were dating. We had a mutual breakup so there were no bad feelings between us. She asked me if I wanted to catch up over coffee and I said yes. We just talked about what we have both been up to, laughed at some old time stories and generally had a great time. She [...]
Ex Came Back With No Contact – NC Works [NOT!]
Question: I’ve read many of your articles and answers and I think n/c if used properly is way more powerful than you give it credit for. When I broke up with my girlfriend April 09 I went straight n/c for 4 months. No texts, no email, no letters, no phone calls, no asking friends how she was doing, no checking her MySpace or Facebook page, no [...]
How Do I Tell My Ex I Don’t Want To Lose Her?
Question: My ex broke up with me and everything I've tried just gets her really angry with me. I never cheated or treated her mean in the 1.5 years we were together.

I asked her to explain it but she said she didn't feel about me the way she wants [...]
