Need some thoughts and opinions

Ok for all the ladies out there (guys feel free to answer to) I have a question. If you've been trying to reach your spouse for over a week and they haven't answered/called back, dont you think its time to move on?

How could one such as myself answer such a question without so much as a second glance?

I'd say it depends on the circumstances.

well would it help to include that the spouse has a history of breaking up by doing the same thing (ignoring until they go away)? they are also reading any messages you send them but just ignoring/deleting them...

Corps, this is a hard one to answer. Love is very confusing.

Heartbreak is the worst illness in the world. Tact is really required with this, and I don't want to give out incorrect advice on such a serious topic.

Basically, you can't change your parents. The best you can do is be accepting as to why one is waiting for the other, even thought it's a repeated pattern. Let her/him know that this situation is not just effecting him/her but you as well. Just remind your parent that a family is not just a relationship between two anymore, it encompasses everyone, and that you care and accept that he/she is waiting.

There is not much else you can do in the situation you described but be patient, and state that everyone is effected. It might just be the kick in the pants needed.

Best wishes, Greenlover17

Look sorry! I didn't necessarily mean your parents. Just normally, spouses have kids. Sorry, I was answering your inquiry by speaking to you. Didn't even notice I did that... Sorry; I really need to stop talking to my mom...

Oh, and by the way, Marine Corps, you are a jerk. ;)

lol I figured, and no need to apologize, on the internet with no emotion its hard to truely understand what it is someone is trying to say so mistakes like the one that occured here are extremely common, thusly its no big deal :p

and I know I'm a jerk but Green isnt... now are they? ;)

also the reason that I put "spouse" and all that is to keep the gender of the two people hidden so as to not reveal their identity to anyone who knows them,which is a few people on here... (I will say its a guy and a girl though lol)

well... i wouldn't say that you need to move.. unless the breakup is official....

i would just prepare my self for the worst.. like the break-up talk.., counting of course they actually answer your calls and messages to do that...

you may want to confront this person face to face...(unless this relationship is long distance, then i would suggest using a webcam if you have one.) tell them how you feel or ask them if something is wrong... it may not be that they want to break-up.. it may be that something is going on in their life that is distracting them....

if its something else in their life, another way to tell is to see if your the only one being alienated, or if they are doing this to everyone. if they are, then have stumbbled on to something bigger than just realtionship issues.

if its just you thats being ignored... than it is possible that it may be their way of breaking up with you, without actually doing it... or mabey they though you were going to and are avoiding you because of something that happened...

im honestly not positive.... have they been distracted or seem detached from everything, or is it just you being ignored???

the best thing i can say is be prepared for the worse and chances are, you deserve better than them....so after awhile i would just dump them... i know that straight out of a parable cookie... the "fortune cookies" that give words of wisdom intead of an actucall fortune...

"Its the uhm.... its that one thing.... its the thing that did that one thing.... its the :p forget it"
