Comment preview: The sad thing is, I don't think you will tell him the truth/tell him at all. Even if you do, you probably won't tell him the 100% truth. You say you love him, but you really don't. I don't think you're going to stop seeing your ex-boyfriend, either. It's o ....

Comment preview: One minor point - I notice you refer to your deceased boyfriend as your "ex boyfriend" and not your "late boyfriend." I think hearing this phrase does not help your current boyfriend's mindset because no one wants to hear or think about an "ex boyfriend," ....

Comment preview: >It's affecting me to the point I'm not even sure if I can sleep with him anymore. **Girl**. You need to talk to boyfriend about this. Does he know about your ex, and his preoccupation with squirting? About what it did to your self-esteem? You talk abou ....


Comment preview: It sounds like there are two issues here. First, your guilt over feeling that you made the wrong decision by having the abortion. Second, your anger at your ex-boyfriend because he's no longer interested in you. They feel like the same issue because he was ....

Comment preview: Really? Was that supposed to be subtle? I thought it was pretty overt. Time to get analytical. Skye - "I know, I lied to you guys, but I was trying to protect my boyfriend" Fitz - "We all make mistakes. I don't-who ca- I don't - who cares about your ex-boy ....


Comment preview: Yes! I'm friends with ALL of my ex boyfriends aside from the first one, who was abusive. They're all really great dudes (I mean, obviously, I wouldn't have dated them otherwise) and I've NEVER understood the mentality of cutting off your ex-whatevers unl ....


Comment preview: Some people just don't want their lives to be a part of social media. And depending on how dramatic her ex-boyfriend would be, she may not want to hear from him or mutual friends about how Devastated He Is that she's getting on with her life. Many an ex- ....


Comment preview: >and I'm not comfortable with that Issue solved. You are not comfortable with it, so the answer is no. If he doesn't like it then he can get over it. >He accused me of crushing his fantasy... He says I'm being unfair by only giving him part of his ....
