I have this ex. We went out and I was really into him but I felt that he really wasn't into me. He would never call me. Anyways after he cancelled on one of our dates I decided to break up with him. Do you reckon that was too harsh? I really miss him heaps, he really drove me wild with excitement. Now I guess we're just friends. Would you keep at a relationship when you know a person isn't treating you right or that they weren't that into you just in the hope things could be different? or would you cut your loses and move on?

I know matters of the heart can be complicated. If it is too difficult to maintain a friendship with the feelings that you currently have, then I say cut it loose. Yeah, easy for me to say right? I also have a friend that I have very strong feelings for. We started out as friends and became lovers, but never made a commitmet to be a couple. I is difficult to harbor the emotions I have, watching as he engage in relationships with other women, and thinking to myself it should have been me. Honey if this guy isn't treating you right, I say cut your loses and move on. You are a beautiful girl and can find someone that is good to you and for you.

If things werent going right and you felt you needed to move on then u did the right thing. find someone who makes you happy and that is into you as much as your into him. you dont have to settle and you dont have to be in a relationship where you dont feel loved.
if it were me, I would have moved on too.

Cut your losses, my dear. If it is mean't to be, he'll realize that he misses you and come back, treating you much better. Let him miss you a bit, and go out and make friends.

As much as it hurts, you did the right thing by breaking up with him. You deserve to be with someone who treats you right and now you are free to move on and find someone who will. If this man really cared about you as more than just a friend, he would not be cancelling dates with you. And he would be calling you all the time.

It depends...
I broke with my girl friend six months ago, but now we still have some contact. When she met difficulties, she still called me for help. and I also called her,just talking about daily life or say hello to her.. but i will never be her boy friend and she willnever be my girl friend in future, I think.

i had been in a relationship for 8 years before. eventhough he cheated on me and did not give me enough attention, i still kept on with the relationship hoping that it will be better soon. but after 8 years i realized that i am not happy and that he never deserve love from me. he thinks only of himself and never put me in his top priority. so, after the long 8 years of being so stupid,i broke up with him.
and no. if someone's not treating you right, you should not keep the relationship. you will just end up hurting yourself more and more. you better move on. he's not the only man in this world.

Cut your losses and move on!! It's only love when you both feel it. I don't think you deserve anyone who isn't madly in love with you....and he got more than he deserved. One who is fortunate enough to have someone who loves them needs to love that person in return....and needs to WANT to love that person in return.

Hi,
It is definitely hard to decide whether to continue relationships when you do not get the due response from your partner. Life gives you a lot of lessons. Do not impose yourself on anyone. You will get what is due to you anyway. It may take time to get someone who cares for your sentiments. You will have to take it in the right spirit. If you have to maintain your friendship you should not let your emotions come in the way of friendship.

sometimes, it is hard to remain friends with someone who has not treated you well. maybe atleast say hello to him when you get to meet him somewhere but not really make friends with him. and right. move on. it's not your loss anyway.

Thank you for all the advice. He subsequently called to catch up so. At the meeting he told me that he was thinking about getting back with me but can't decide because he has two other girls he really like. I told him to let me go and stop screwing me around.
Yup definitely moving on :)
Thank you guys

If you love them you try your hardest to make it work. If it doesnt well you know the old saying, "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I met my wife when we were in Junior High and we had our issues we needed to work out. We broke it off once and when I realized that I couldn't live without her I got her back in my life and did everything possible to make it work. Twelve years later I am still deeply in love with my wife and don't regret any hardships that we've had to overcome. I think you already know what you have to do. Just be honest and verbal with your ex and don't beat around the bush...us guys hate that ;-)

Its good you planned to move on. I was into a relatonship with this guy who was very nice initially....but later i felt he wasn't really into me. he was polite and all....but he was not certain as to what did he want. so i decided to move on. i spoke to him after our 'break up'....but decided he was not really worth it. but it surely took quite some time.

i know how you feel, i've been in that situation but just one thing i want you to realize if your letting people hurt you then that's not good at all. love yourself first before people will love you back the way you deserve to be love. don't worry i know there someone outhere right for you.

Cut your losses and move on. If he wasn't that into you it certainly isn't going to change. You would just be wasting your time and you could really miss out on the real mr right coming by. Stay friends though there is nothing wrong with that and who knows maybe someday if things change you may hook up again.
