Wow... It's been almost two years since I've posted anything and I had hoped that I wouldn't "need" to again.

Looking for some advice about my live in boyfriend. We've been living together over a year, dating about 2.5. I just found out that on a recent family (his family) vacation he started talking to someone and it was possibly physical (he won't admit to that). Things have been a bit rocky between us for a few months, with minimal communication that didn't end up in an argument. I finally confronted him last week about what was bothering me and he admitted he wasn't too happy and was talking to another woman (she lives out of state).
Finally Sunday I wrote him a note explaining how I felt, and that I really wanted to work on the relationship. We talked after he read it and he agreed, but it seems like he was only saying what I wanted to hear. Needless to say the talk was emotional on both sides and I do feel like he cares about me but ???? I don't want him to be somewhere he doesn't really want to be.

Guess my question now is... Where do I go from here? We talked about him moving out and getting some space, but that was never decided on. Do I just wait this out for a period of time and hope things get better before making any other decisions? I hate living in this limbo. How do I handle his talking to this other woman? She lives in another state, so the opportunity to see her isn't readily available. Do I just wait and see if it dies out?

Hey you!!

I've been wondering how you were doing!!

Gee...I hate to hear that this is what's going on with ya. I was hoping news would be better. But ya know this is the best place to be when this kind of stuff is going on! Ya might want to go to GQII cause this area doesn't seem to get much action.

Even under these circumstances, it's good to "see" you!!

(((((HUGS)))))

Hiya!! Long time no talk!!! Glad to hear everything's going well for you... Wishing I could say the same, but hey, I'm getting through it much better this time.

I think I've pretty much just decided to wait it out and see what happens. Supposed to have a weekend together (just the two of us) this weekend. I figure that will pretty much tell all.

Yeah, things are going good here. Just the usual problems with ex's!

If ya wait a while and spend the weekend together, it might help things out. Sounds like he needs to do some soul searching. Hope things go well and I'm glad you're dealing with things better this time. Take care!

email me if ya need to!

Whoa! A blast from the past. I've been wondering about you. Both of you. Hmmm. Don't have great pearls of wisdom. What about the EN board? Have you tried posting this there?
