This is an e-mail from a reader."I have been dating him for 7 months, we met through church friends, and he told me from the start god has changed his life, (and himself) that the old him was a horrid person. Before dating him I did not think soul mates existed but after falling for him I really do believe he is the one. And 1 month into the relationship he got called to work 4 hours away from this city, But despite it all he still drove 3 hours every weekend back here just to see me. Through it all he got really depressed and anxious working away from family, Then when he left this job early to come back to our city, he told me his old self was coming back brought on by the depression and anxiety."
"He has only just come back from this place 4 hours away. And things slowly started going downhill. I was starting to get depressed and he was starting to treat me less and less like he loves me. It was hurting, but I figured "hey he might just need some time to think" because he was just stressed before with me being depressed. But then over the phone I also brought up something else. That he is acting like he dose not love me. And then he told me that he has grown apart from me so there for he dose not know if he loves me anymore."
"He then mentioned how he told me his old self is coming back and that he has in the past just over night fallen out off love with previous girl friends. I Don't know what is wrong with him. Has he got a fear off commitment? is it the anxiety, and depression playing up on him? Because As I said to him over the phone you can leave now like all the others but how will you ever solve this problem? His relationships never last over a month especially in my case, our relationship lasted 6 mouths. He told me over the phone a few hours ago. That he feels cold and distant. numb tactfully."
"I really wanna know whats wrong with him. And if there is a way for us to fix this problem. I mean how does someone just fall out off love with someone after telling them they changed your life in a positive way, and that they mean the world to you."
Do you have some meaningful advice for this reader, please let me know by leaving your valuable comments here.
I will talk to ya again soon.

Single Again After A Break-Up What Now?
What does it mean exactly when a guy says he wants his freedom? You'll be dating a guy for a few weeks or months and even though things seemed to have been going great, he suddenly drops one of these lines on you:
"I need some space." "I don't want to give up my freedom." "I don't want to be tied down right now."
So what is he talking about? It's not as if you're keeping him from living his
life or getting in his way.
The truth is, some women will make a man feel like he has freedom to pursue his dreams because of their own sense of freedom and independence, and some women will "drag" a guy down because of their neediness and insecurity.
Men will also prefer to "date" instead of settling into a more serious and committed relationship because:
1. Dating is a no-brainer for him.
2. Dating is where the attraction and fun is, in his mind.
3. He's just not feeling that you're "The One"
To learn the whole story about why men are afraid to "settle down" with one woman and what you can do and say to turn his thinking around so that he will be begging you for a commitment.
Are you ready for some quick "hands-on" tips about what really works with men, and what doesn't? Check it in my next MUST READ post....
P.S.
What's your biggest frustration with men, relationships and dating? Do you find it easy to meet men, but hard to keep their attention and interest as soon as things start to get serious? Are you wondering how to approach your boyfriend about commitment, because you've been together a long time now and he isn’t bringing it up on his own? Are you worried that the man you're with will cheat on you? Are wondering how to get past certain "bumps" in the road when it comes to your love life.
Find out what to do in each of these situations, and see if your specific relationship or dating is worth you think it should be.Sadly, many women will go their entire lives without ever experiencing true love and connection with a man they care about. I don't want you to be one of them. This blog will show you HOW,WHEN,AND WHERE IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP exactly how to find the love you’ve been waiting your whole life to find and do it in a way that will make you feel good inside because you'll know that you're giving yourself and the man in your love life.

A Break In A Relationship Sometimes Saves It
Are you confused by a guy who says one thing, but does another? So you feel as if nothing is working out in your life or maybe some things are working out for you but your current relationship has executed a wrong turn and has failed to find the right road again. If you are frustrated in your relationship or with your partner you might want to consider taking a break.
Taking a break does not mean that you no longer love each other. A break does not mean that you will not resolve your issues within the relationship. A break is a common practice among people who are dating, live together or our married.
Taking a break can lead to a sense of relationship renewal and better communication between you and your partner. If you are unsatisfied with your relationship there are a few things to consider before you decide to take a break.
First of all you should sit down and ask yourself why you are unhappy in the relationship. Make a list of the characteristics you love about your partner. Remember why you fell in love in the first place. Was it because of common interests or because they were what you needed at the time?
All of us fall in love for different reasons. Next write down your partners characteristics that have been bothering you. See if there are any dangerous warning signs such as excessive alcohol use or a violent temper.
After you have made your list carefully consider your goals in life, your life plan and figure out how your current relationship fits into this plan. Also, take into consideration that your relationship stress may have nothing do to with the relationship itself.
You could be experiencing the pressure of financial stress or maybe you just faced a traumatic event or you feel overwhelmed in your life right now. Many times relationships suffer when external sources are negatively impacting us.
Figure out what is going on in your life and separate the external stress factors. After you have carefully thought all of this through it is time to sit down and talk with your partner.
It is only fair that you are honest with your partner about your feelings. Nothing can be resolved without clear communication. Both of you should engage in a serious discussion about your relationship and where it is going. Your partner may be just as unhappy as you are.
After all is said and done the two of you may decide to take a break. A relationship break is a healthy option that many couples benefit from. Sometimes it is necessary for people to take a break in order to figure out what they want or to view the relationship in a different light.
During a break make sure to talk with your partner, check and see how things are going and discuss what you want for the future. Many couples that get back together after a break find their relationship to be stronger.
Some of us forget why we fell in love or our life has become burdensome and we just need to take a break from everything. A relationship break is not the end of the world.
Sometimes a break is just the beginning as it leads to a more promising and fulfilling relationship in the future. A relationship break can cause us to realize that our partner is truly the love of our life.

Why on Earth would Woman opt to stay in a disrespectful, fearful relationship?
Yes, I'm sure you do love him - at least the 'good side' of him. But what else is there to your love? Does he not make you feel embarrassed by his control and power over you by his direct disrespect for you? Even if it was 'love' you felt for him and not the flattery of 'his needing you' the funny thing that you don't realize is that you can love someone and not be with them. It is sooooo possible.
Of course leaving is a very difficult thing to do. The only time we really consider it is in the very throes of the abuse the moment when we would leave barefoot and naked in the middle of a blizzard if need be. But then things calm down for a moment in time. The promises and remorse starts.
The logic starts running through your head. Then the excuses - the fear, "Why leave? He'll just hunt me down and kill me." Doubtful. He may threaten, because threats have proven to be so successful in controlling you in the past. Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Call the police.
You can relocate, you can get protection, you can 'call him' on his suicide threat. Take my word for it, he won't start systematically 'knocking off members of your family' until you return to him. Gee! "I can't leave him. I'm the only one that understands him. I feel so sorry for him. He really doesn't want to be this way." You feel sorry for him? You mean like you feel sorry for those little, innocent children dying in the hospital? Like you feel for the parents who are watching them die? THAT'S something to feel sorry about.
Not an adult man who opts to revisit his pain over and over again, heaping it all on you, instead of being brave enough to face it head-on and take direct responsibility for it.
Not someone who can charmingly smile and say good-bye to house guests, then turn around and punch you the minute they pull out of the driveway. Part of this man's hook is his 'childlike hurt'. "Life is so good when he isn't abusing, I couldn't ask for a better man." Couldn't you?
Yes, the hardest thing you may ever have to do is to find the courage to leave. You can leave, and you can make it on your own. Your situation isn't any different than many others you may think it is special, but it's not. Just look at mine no car, no driver's license, no money, no help from anyone, four kids, systemic lupus, emphysema, and MS.If someone in your situation can do it then most assuredly, you can, too.
And stop thinking that if you somehow 'change' the abuse will stop. You mean that if you can go through the rest of your 'one-and-only' life without ever burning a meal again, that everything will be honky-dory? You don't really believe that, do you? You don't need to change he does.
You can have the very best man and have the most wonderful marriage without the high cost. Believe me!
Whether emotional, verbal, mental, physical, or a combination of all - abuse wears you down. You go from a happy, care-free woman (remember those days before him) to days of consuming feelings of resentment, anger, depression and growing insecurity. When you look into the mirror you see a shell of a person, with no life left in their eyes.
Go right now and look in the mirror you'll be surprised to see the 'life' is no longer there. You are empty. Hollow. This relationship is not making you a 'whole' person, it is making you a 'worthless of a woman'.Is that what you prefer in your love life?

How Women "Love" To Be Abused In "Not Working Relationships"
You as Woman,the thing you must know about your life is that you have choices. You have options. You have rights. You are not a belonging, you are not ruled by emotions, you are ruled by common sense. However,after enduring abuse we tend to disregard our common sense and logical thoughts - and let our emotions rule our life. This is the trap that keeps you hooked.
Yet,there is hope.There is promise to a better life and a freedom above and beyond emotional and psychological imprisonment.When power,control,and violence become the prevalent modes of resolving conflicts, abuse takes place.
If you are the victim of abuse any kind of abuse you should face the facts that you can't see while caught in the 'trap' of abuse you are not responsible. The abuser may take out his rage on you, but do not make the common mistake of taking 'ownership' over their rage. It is not yours, it is theirs.
Give it back to them and stop playing God! And remember, what is upsetting to the abuser goes deeper and beyond what you see. No, it isn't about how you cooked dinner, or that you forget to pick up the dry cleaning, or that the man in the corner of the restaurant 'looked' at you. You are just the doorway he needs to vent. By placing blame at your feet he is doing one of two things.
1). He is attempting to control you.
2). He is attempting to turn his own shame outward by directing it onto others rather you.
This abolishes him from the inner turmoil and self-doubts that rage through his veins.
Well,you ask,'what about therapy?' What about it?! Therapy doesn't work in most cases. In fact, therapy is usually sought by the abuser simply as another means to 'control' you. They have absolutely no intention of seeking help, because they have absolutely no intention of doing anything - but keeping you.
The sad truth is, abusers very rarely, if ever, stop their abusive ways. They swear they will, they promise anything. But usually all this means is the next time the abuse will be worse - because the next time they know that you may just leave them this time, after this 'last' and 'final' break of their promise.
Fact - get out.
Fiction - things can change if you just love them harder and try to get to the root of the problem.
Fact - you can not get them help. You can only get you help.
But how many times have you heard this? You are like the teenager who has grown up with the repeated advice that drugs are bad yet continue to try them out anyway.
Why? Could facts, experience, proof, and life's little instruction book only apply to other people? Are you special? Different? Is your abuser special and different from other abusers? Don't kid yourself! Drugs kill. Abusers kill. Those are the cold-hard facts and ...yes ...they do apply to you.
It is up to you to take the action required to remove yourself, and your children if applicable, from any abusive situation. That is the only way possible to help the abuser. As long as you are there the atmosphere is unhealthy, the abuse escalates, the abuser becomes more aware of having a 'problem', the abuser denies responsibility for 'the problem',the abuser redirects the problem onto you. The abuser has no need to change.
Do not believe the abuser when he claims the abuse is your fault. Never! And let's just say for the sake of saying that it is your fault. That you are a loser, a bad housewife, ignorant, stupid, forgetful, worthless, inconsiderate ,whatever does that justify abuse?
NO! If my 11-year-old cousin was mentally handicapped would I be justified in abusing him? NO! My dog is not very intelligent and he chewed my slipper. Can I beat the dog? NO! Abuse is never justified. Never called for. Never excused. Never reasoned away.
Abuse is abuse. Part of our rights as a human is to demand respect and to give respect in return. Physically, emotionally, verbally, or mentally abusive behavior demonstrates the highest level of disrespect. This is the man who loves you sooo much, but is just 'confused'? Quit kidding yourself. That's not love.
That is an ill, sick person who clings to you with desperation one minute, and pulls you by the hair out onto the front lawn the next. Wake up!

Why Men Leave Then Want You Back?
Welcome,
If you've had a man coming in and out of your life who's breaking your heart and then trying to make it better and get you back.And you want to understand why this keeps happening and what to do about it, then it's time you understood what it is that makes a man ready to truly commit to you, or not.

But if you want to know the signs of when a good man is ready to commit, and what makes a man suddenly "wake up" and realize the amazing woman he's got right in front of him, to where he won't ever want to be without you again.
I wanted to share a couple of personal questions I got from women who might be in a situation like yours.If you're in a relationship but having trouble taking things to the next level because your man doesn't seem to care where things go next.Or you find yourself losing your cool in your relationship and accidentally pushing your man away.Then do not miss out reading this short tip-filled e-mail.
### E-mail From A Reader ###
Hi,
My name is C.K. and I am looking for you advice that would be best for my situation. I have been following your blog post and they have been very helpful to me in my love life. They have brought me so much understanding and help.I am truly thankful for all your work because I believe it led to getting my ex boyfriend back as well as teaching me invaluable things I needed to know about relationships and men.
Well,although I am back with the man I love and learned great things that helped I still have a few problem area's that I need help with. Me and the man I love met over three years ago and have never been engaged. I am 31 years old and he is 35. We
have never lived together. there is no current plans to get married soon, and that bothers me. I really don't know the best way to go about asking him what his plans are as to if he is going to marry me. he shows me he cares in a lot of ways but I am not sure he wants to be with me forever and really loves me the way I love him. I
am scared if I bring it up it will push him away. I don't want to force him into anything. We are both getting older and been going out along time.Please help me to go about this problem?
On the other hand,my family and friends tell me that if he isn't going to marry me soon I should find a guy who will. I love this man a lot and don't want to
loose him but I also don't want to feel I am not worthy of being his wife, fiancee or a serious commitment from him. He wants to see me and makes that effort to try and do things with and for me.
Another problem is although I feel he loves me and I know I love him but he never tells me he loves me. I feel he shows he loves me but it hurts for him not to tell me he does. I don't tell him I love him because I am scared it might scare him
away. It took a lot to get him back. he did leave me a few times. The advice I got from your blog helped get him back with me. Now I am looking to take the next step to have it go further. Like I said. I am scared to confront him about marriage and where our future is going because I don't know the best way to go about it without being needy or demanding. Please help me!! Sincerely,C.K.
###My Response To Her ####
C.K---Well,this might sound strange with all that I talk about around not being needy and demanding.But yours is a difference case.You need to be more selfish.Here's why.You are "worthy", and for the love you give,you deserve a man who is ready and willing to share the same in return.
You should never be afraid to want what you want in your life.And that's doubly true when it comes to your love life.The fact that you want a close and loving relationship that consists of a longer-term commitment and marriage is great.
You deserve what you want, and you are in no way a "needy" woman for wanting that.
So don't confuse your dreams and desires with being needy or demanding - even if men try and tell you differently.Life is way too short to not follow your heart and be with a man who doesn't fully meet you and share the love you're capable of.
But wanting something, and how you go about it, are two different things.Do not forget this - it's important!Before you try and talk more to the man in your life about marriage, there's something you need to address first.Here goes.You need to feel more comfortable with the fact that it's ok for you to have marriage as a
priority.Why?
Because when you have that funny feeling in your stomach that your man is going to somehow "punish" you or withdraw just because you talk about what your dreams and your vision of love is, it's almost impossible for what you want to come out in a way that's calm, centered, and helps you create what you want with him.
When you're freaked out at the thought of what might go wrong by talking to him about it, and you're imagining all the bad things that might happen, you've already created distance between you and him, and you're sure to get a bad reaction from him. Here's a little secret.The more comfortable and confident you feel about yourself, your life, and asking for what you want, the more comfortable other people (your man) are going to be with hearing from you.
And the more likely you are to start getting what you want.But when you're already wound up in your head and nervous, guilty, upset or anxious about talking to your man about something, the entire context of your conversation becomes something that feels heavy and negative.
And there's no more certain way to have a man shut down emotionally than coming to him and starting a conversation with a flood of your own frustrations and fears. When what you really want is for him to see you, see your love, and begin to imagine with you all the amazing things that are possible in your future.
So what are you showing him? Let me ask you something important.How honest are you being? How honest are you with him, and how honest are you being with yourself? To have your relationship grow, you need to be more honest about what it is that you're feeling,and what it is that you really want.
Otherwise, there's no hope for your relationship to grow - because you aren't putting more of your true self and your heart into it.Of course, this requires you to be vulnerable.Vulnerable to be truly honest.Vulnerable to show him who you really are, and what you really want.
And vulnerable enough to risk hearing "No" if the truth of your relationship is that marriage isn't in the cards with this man.Are you clear enough about what marriage is to you and why you want it that you're ready to tell him that you want marriage, and risk hearing "No" if that's his truth? You have a choice here.
You can keep wanting marriage, and try indirect ways of getting him to want it with you translation - play games. Or you can take a long hard look at your life,your relationship, and what it is you really want and be brave enough talk about it and to go after it even if it hurts a bit more in the short run.Remember, you can't make a man want marriage but you sure can make a man really want you.
And if marriage is something you are clear and comfortable with wanting, and you let your man know that to be with you he has to start to be clear about wanting it with you, then things are going to start going your way. But remember, once you share what you want,don't make the mistake of trying to convince your man to want what you want, or blame or hurt him when he tells you he doesn't want exactly what you say you want.Pleading, convincing or demanding never works with men.
Instead, once you start being clear and honest,you need to lead your relationship to the next level with the things that have the power to take your man there with you.And those things are connection and attraction.A man doesn't just commit to a woman and marriage because it makes sense, or it's the right thing to do and she wants him to.At least not in good, happy, healthy marriages that last!
A man commits to a woman because he feels such a deep and intense level of attraction for her that he can't imagine feeling the same way with any other woman.And he's ready and willing to commit his life and his love to you because he doesn't ever want to lose you and the incredible way you make him feel when he's around you.
For my very best tips and secrets about what makes a man feel that magic emotion called attraction that's deeper than just the casual everyday Physical Attraction a man can feel for any good looking woman.Try to go through my previous post on how you are going to build, the connection and attraction that will have your man begging you to be with him, and only him, forever.
Oh, and attraction isn't the only thing that matters.But it's often the most important thing if a man isn't taking things to the next level with you.Do some soul searching and find a way to get comfortable wanting what you want.Then you need to find a way to share what you want in a loving and honest way with your man more of a statement of what you want and not what you expect or demand from him.
Demands and entitlements don't work with men, and they don't work with love.In the meantime, here's what's equally as important. Don't forget to live a great life with him and build and share all kinds of intense and amazing love and attraction in the meantime.If you do, then I know he won't be able to think of anything else than being with you, and only you.And let me know how it goes.
