The “Does My Ex Still Love Me” Syndrome

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

You’ve broken up with your ex and some time has passed and all seems well, from the outside. The two of you have moved on and the life is looking very encouraging, again, from the outside. Well, what’s happening on the inside exactly? Many people in this situation find themselves wondering if their ex partner still loves them. What does that mean?

If you find yourself in this situation then you may need to seriously think about exactly why you are having these thoughts. Do you still love your ex? Are you just generally interested? The fact of the matter may very well be that you do still care about your ex, and subconsciously you wish that the break up never had occurred.

These thoughts are very typical in loving relationships that abruptly end, or end without both sides exhausting every measure to prevent it from ending. I call it the “does my ex still love me” syndrome because it seems to be on the mind of a high percentage of couples that really want to reconnect with each other.

If getting back with your ex is not possible, then you need to come to terms with the fact that you and your ex are not going to be a couple any longer. Worrying about whether they love still care for you is irrelevant and will only cause you pain. It needs to stop.

However, if there’s a will, there may very well be a way. Instead of wondering, it may be worth it to your sanity and future happiness to try and pursue reconnecting with your ex. I’ve gone through this myself, I know how you feel. I eventually won my ex back using some amazing Relationship Fixing Techniques.

When an Old Flame Comes Marching In

Sunday, April 12th, 2009

We hear about these situations all the time. Someone appears to be in a good relationship, then BAM! Just like gangbusters, an old flame enters the picture and stirs up a bunch of emotions and complications. If you find yourself in this type of situation then I can only offer you one bit of advice - be very careful!

It’s true, old flames tend to burn pretty hot and heavy after some time passes, especially if the old flame was a first love. So having these feelings shouldn’t cause you to ignite any guilt on yourself, but acting on these feelings is another thing entirely.

But what if your current relationship isn’t so great? So what! Yea, I’m serious, so what!

Look, it really doesn’t matter if your current relationship is on the rocks or not, you need to think twice before acting here. You owe it to your current partner, maybe even kids (if any), and most importantly, yourself.

Just how do you think you will feel knowing you’ve hurt your partner or maybe even your kids for just for a temporary fling with an old flame? Believe me, the lasting pain is something that can’t be resolved quite so easily, and something that will stick to your character resume for quite some time.

BTW - download my free ebook called ‘Rekindle the Love’ and you can read how break ups and divorce impact kids.

Before you take the leap and very likely get burned, take stock of what you have. An old flame is an old flame for a reason. It didn’t work once, and odds are it won’t work again. Stay true to yourself and your current partner by seeing the current relationship through. If your current relationship isn’t meant to be, then perhaps it should end, but do it the right way. Stay true to yourself and keep your respect.

Staying Happy in a Relationship – 3 Secrets That Rock!

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Do you ever wonder why some couples stay happy together? What makes their relationship different from those that failed? What are their secrets that help them remain happy in their relationship through thick and thin?

Couples have different ways of showing their love for each other in order to stay happy. Here are their top three secrets:

Always demonstrate your love

Now that you are together there is no need to be shy to show your love. A simple hug or a sweet kiss can already put a smile on your partner’s face. Do not hesitate to prove your undying devotion. Your partner will surely appreciate your effort and more likely do the same thing for you in return.

If you constantly show your love, you will erase any doubt in your partner’s mind. Say “I love you” often and be sweet and corny some of the time. It will keep your relationship happy and fun. This way you will feel secured and confident being together.

Always communicate

Constant communication does not only apply to long distance relationships. It is just as important if you and your partner live together or are near each other. When you are together, listen to each other. Talk bout your relationship and your future plans as a couple. Hear each other out especially when sharing your ideas and opinions on certain matters.

When your partner has a problem, lend her your ear and give advice if he/she asks. Always be there for each other no matter what. Give your partner a card or a gift during special occasions like your anniversary or birthdays. Call him/her at work or send him/her a message to show you’re thinking about him/her. Your thoughtfulness can charm your partner and make you happy.

Always spend precious time together

One way to stay happy in a relationship is to always spend quality time together. Spend weekends together; go to a movie or dinner date at least once per week. Time is important and you have to make use of it to build your relationship and make it last.

These top secrets of couples who stay happy can also work on you. Just follow their example and you will be in the right track toward your own happy life together.

4 Keys to Staying Happy in Your Relationship

Wednesday, March 18th, 2009

Is it possible for a happy relationship to last forever? And if so, what are the ingredients that make a happy and lasting relationship?

There are many factors that affect the success or failure of a relationship. There are temptations everywhere and problems arise every now and then which test your love and devotion for each other.

So how can you overcome these obstacles?

Well, here are the four key ingredients to help you stay on track and keep the happiness lasting forever:

Love

First and foremost, love. You cannot stay happy in a relationship without the presence of love. Many people try and many people are miserable. Without love, nothing else matters.

Trust

Trust also plays a very important role in a relationship. In fact, it’s one of the major necessities for a lasting relationship. If you have problems trusting your partner, then you both need to address it and get rid of any trust issues. These issues will rip apart a relationship sooner or later.

Honesty

Honesty is an absolute must for any happy relationship. Keeping secrets from your partner will ultimately drive a wedge between you both.

Respect

You and your partner are different people with differing opinions and ideas. Accept that and respect it. Nobody wants to spend the rest of their life with a mirror image of themselves. Respect and embrace your differences, they make life much more interesting.

Of course these four key areas are sometimes much easier said than done. At the very least, hopefully this list will shine some light on an area or two (hopefully none) in your relationship that may need a little work.
