Getting to TRUE Love

He Said He'd Call, But He Didn't

A woman looks at her phone wondering why her boyfriend hasn't called. — Should I reach out to him?

Beautiful Jude writes about the situation she's in, wondering why he hasn't called when he said he would, and I know so many of us can relate to this one!

Here's her email:

He said he'd call yesterday, but didn't. Why does this make me feel so needy?

Why don't I just contact him? It's been going well so far.

So afraid of being vulnerable and of finding out he's not as committed as I hoped. And that I'll then put up with it...

How do I approach this without sounding like a lunatic and without compromising myself? Is it OK to say "I was expecting to hear from you; is all OK?"

Then how do I trust his answer... Oh dear!Continue Reading

A beautiful woman sits on a couch at home alone, feeling sad that she doesn't have a boyfriend. — I'm heartbroken - I don't know if he broke up with me or is just mad.

This week, Patricia writes in to tell us about her surprising recent breakup that she's having trouble understanding.

Here's what she wrote:

My Boyfriend, partner of going on 4 years and I got into a huge argument over my trying to rescue an abused Horse, and my Girlfriend was going to buy it.

He thinks he knows it all with 4 degrees and got all bent out of shape when things were not going the way he wanted them to with the transaction, saying a lot of incompetent things were going on with communication with the owner of this horse, my girlfriend and me.

My Girlfriend is an X News Anchor/now Author of 5 books and he demeaned me and her acting like we did not know how to carry out a transaction to rescue this horse.Continue Reading

Between Now and Then

Words just be, written on sand of a beach. — Whoever you want to be.

I see so many of us striving so hard to become what we feel like we "should be".

Moving as fast as we can to get out of the now that we want to leave, that we’re in such a hurry to put behind us, to become who we want to be.

There’s such an important point that we miss as we go through this journey of life. This life isn’t about all those picture perfect moments that we can neatly photograph and post on Facebook for all our friends and family to see.

You’re not defined by an engagement, marriage, your career advances, the number of birthdays you've had or everything else our culture tells us we're defined by.Continue Reading

I Don't Know if I'm in a Relationship With Him or Not

A beautiful woman leans her head against a tree, looking unsure. — I don't even know if I can call this a relationship.

One of our gorgeous readers, Nate, is questioning the relationship she's in.

Here's her story:

I've been in a relationship with a man for almost 3 months now.

He doesn't text or call, I'm always the one initiating communication. I spoke to him about it and he said that he's not a text or call person, the only person he calls is his grandma.

This guy is a graphic designer and always active online, twitter and Instagram but never checks up on me. When I do, he takes forever to reply to it.

He tried to call after my discussion with him but here's another issue, his call is always very official - like how are you and have a good day.

The only time he said something nice is when we are having sex or making out, those are the times he says he loves me.Continue Reading
