‘Moving On’ Archives
Expressing Anger and Online Rants
Some of you have written me emails and left comments suggesting that we get rid of the comment moderators and allow everyone to leave a comment like in other blogs. It'd be nice to let people leave comments without censorship. It'd probably get the site more comments as many readers can ask questions and others (other than me) can answer the [...]
My Ex Will Not Respond Should I Move On?
Anyone who has tried to get an ex back knows too well that this is not something you can achieve with a single action or random number of actions. It takes time, and sometimes it’s one step forward and two backwards. And other times you feel like you’re getting mixed signals. Many tend to give up after just one or two attempts and others [...]
How To Respond To Your Ex’s “No Contact” Rule
For whatever reason, you were not happy in the relationship and decided to end it. The next thing you know - your ex has completely cut you off. They unfriended you, blocked you, won't respond to your texts and will not pick up the phone. It's like he/she disappeared off the face of the earth. No reason. No explanation. Nothing. Should you fall [...]
What’s The Best Way To Get My Ex To Talk To Me?
Question: I am finding myself in a situation where my ex flies into a rage every time I ask her why we broke up. She just came out from the blue one evening after we returned from a friend's house and said, " I can't do this anymore. This relationship is sucking the life out of me."We had not had a fight or argument that day or even days before [...]
Facts About Rebound Relationships [Will It Last?]
I intend to cover this topic in a few more posts in the coming weeks, but since “rebound relationships” is the theme of the latest comments, I thought it’d help clarify a few things about rebound relationships. What is a rebound relationship? 1) A relationship proceeding a long-term relationship, usually short in duration and used to [...]
Is It Better To Completely Cut Off Ties With Your Ex?
Whilst breaking up is hard for everyone regardless of whether you've been going out for one week, one month or one year, how each person chooses to move on after the break up is different. Personally, I do not think there is one best decision that works for everyone and I've seen one decision that worked for one person completely fall flat on the [...]
What To Do When You Can’t Fix Your Relationship
Love is not supposed to hurt and relationships were never designed for us to suffer or struggle. But why do many of us struggle with relationships? When you fall in love, you want to believe that a loving connection will always be present in your relationship. You want the good times to last forever, but when the other person does not [...]
Just Friends Or One-Way Romantic Attraction?
When one friend admits they are "into" the other, but the other is not "into" them like that, things can get really weird. But they don't have to, says Heidi Reeder, associate professor of communication at Boise State University. Reeder's research team did a study on why some friendships end and others don't after one friend tells the other [...]
Why Someone Thinks You’re Needy And Clingy
If the person you are in a relationship with says "I need some space" or "I need time to find myself" or "Let's just be friends" or "We should see other people" or "Don't call me, I'll call you" or anything that suggests they are trying to pull away, it doesn't always mean they no longer love you. It usually means you're acting needy and being [...]
Cure For Emotional Pain – By Seeker Of Peace
There's a simple fact that I've discovered that almost no one really gets. Stated as simply as I can, it goes like this: when ever I experience any kind of pain it is because I am healing.
