Wounded Man

Commitment
Dear Dr Love  I am 50 yr old female dating a 53 yr old man for a little over a year.  He was married for over 25 years and he and his wife divorced (he did not want the divorce).  by his account, toward the end the relationship was volitale (he doesn't speak much about it-- but mostly blames himself)  Anyhow, he's been divorced for approx. 6 yrs.  He's dated several women and had at least one serious girlfriend in that time.  He's a good man and does a lot to help me (pays for things, projects around my house, etc..) Generally, we get along very...

Is There Hope for Me and My Ex?
Oct 8, 2011
Commitment
Me and my ex boyfriend were together for a very happy 3 and a half years, a couple of months ago he said he wanted to end it as he didn't know who he was a person anymore, he did not know if we could live or function without eachother. We are both 24 years old, I was and still am heart broken however a couple of weeks after he broke it off he invited me over to watch a film and spend time together and said he realised how much I meant to him and maybe we should 'see' eachother so there is less pressure on him. (this means we go on dates together and hang out at his house or mine...

I Love Someone but Does He Love Me?
Sep 29, 2011
Commitment
Hi my name is Jackie. I dont know where to start. I have been with this guy for about 3 years now. We are like best friends and a couple. I met him a year after he came out of a 8 year relationship. He told me in the beginning he wants to be a buddhist monk but i never believed him. He told me sometimes i must move on and be with someone else as he cant offer the things i want in life as he wants to become a monk. As soon as i try to leave him alone and respect his wishes i find myself back with him. We never fight and we do everything together. We are like almost the perfect couple. We can...

Does He Really Love Me?
Jun 13, 2011
Commitment
I have been in a relationship for 3.5 years. I love him dearly and he also says the same. However he said he will marry me 1 day but show no plans and doesn't want to talk about it. We haven't had any quality times together for a long time. His friends are always around 24/7 on weekends. We both work full time so I don't want to do much after work during weekdays. I just don't understand y can't he tell his friends that he has to spend time with me n tell them to go home. Does hereally love me or is he just saying so?

Is He Going to One Day Be Everything I Need?
May 24, 2011
Commitment
I have a long and complex situation. I was in a 2 year relationship with a man who I am still in love with but am so unsure of what to do. Our relationship was amazing at times and rocky at other times. Let me tell you a little about his past, maybe this will help to paint a better picture because I have a feeling the way our relationship was and how it ended has a lot to do with his upbringing. He was told that his birth mom abandoned him, and he lived with his alcoholic father and stepmother until his father passed away when he was 10 years old. Then he moved to live with his...

I Like You But Something is Missing
May 13, 2011
Commitment
What can I say? I was seeing this guy over the past 9 months. We have been on and off a couple of times and all in all we possibly saw each other as much as 15 times. In all that time we were living one hour apart, both with long work hours and different days off. I was coming off a break up after a three-year relationship (had happened a little over a year earlier) and so was he (he ended a year and a half relationship--his first serious relationship--seven months earlier). I was so happy to be able to feel good again. We had  decided to take things slow with no rushing, as he...

Seeking Greener Pastures
May 4, 2011
Commitment
Imagine a couple in a long term, committed relationship. Imagine one of the parties subscribes to a singles dating site - no public profile is involved, he or she, just  likes to look at what's out there. The 'looker' argues it is just amusement. The other party says it is disrespectful and suggestive that perhaps the 'looker' is seeking greener pastures. What would your advice be?
