Well, you say you have great conversations when you're in town. Do you ever talk on the phone just to talk, and not to arrange a get together when you're in town? IF so, that's a good sign. If the only time he wants to talk to you is when he knows it's going to lead to his getting his hands on you, that's not so good. If he's got an "out of town, out of mind" kind of attitude, that's not so...

He no longer get's any more power over me! I am a strong, educated, professional woman and the only mistake I made was to believe this person, fall in love with him and then let him control whether I had a good day or bad day! NO more! I don't only deserve better, but it should mean something that the only 2 other relationships that I have had (one a 20 year marriage) prior to this one, those two men would take me back in a...

Doormats are not attractive. They exist for people to wipe their feet on. You probably attracted him BECAUSE you were independent, smart, stable, great job...now you gave all that up for him! Why? I didn't give everything up for my ex, but I did accept, ignore, justify a lot of things in order to stay with him, because I BELIEVED we truly loved one another.

Good for you! I'm glad to hear it! stay strong!

So just do what you need to do in order to be done with this guy and move on. I'm glad to know that you're seeing what a lame guy he is because it really is NO big loss at all.

I agree, I think it depends on the woman. The more 'reserved' types of women probably find it slightly intimidating and feel more pressure from it. Others may see it as flattering, and consequently that will make them feel more desirable (especially if they're the snob type, but it's not limited to only them). Some women might expect for you to pursue them because they want to see 'what lengths you'll go to'...

Another symptom is relationship issues dealing communication, that seems to be present. She also seems to be afraid of being alone, a...

thanks everyone for all your replies. Think... and hoping that something may have struck home with my Partner. We were going to see a family friend when the subject of Xmas came up. This year we will be having dinner with Daughter No.1 and her husband. Also there will be my son-in-laws mother, father and family. It wasmentioned by my daughter that a certain subject wasnt mentioned while in their company as it would cause her mother-in-law a...
