I feel like I'm going through a breakup - only it isn't with a person, it's with an intangible thing. I know intellectually that I'll get better, but it's just been the first few days and I'm hurting so much. How do I heal? [more inside]

I'm in a long-term relationship with an girl, and things are both great and awful. She's seriously dependent, I need my alone time. She wants a farm house in the middle of nowhere, I want to be close to the city. I'm the always-connected gadget-fiend type, she thinks tech is dumb. We could probably compromise on these, but we have some relationship scars and problems in the bedroom. But, we're on the same page on most moral issues, have a ton in common, and she's beautiful. Things have been rough for a while, and I'm starting to feel like our problems and differences make this relationship detrimental to both of us. I don't want to throw away The One, though. Is it time to fold? [more inside]

I recently broke up with my girlfriend. The reason I ended it was because I realised that I had been gradually developing strong feelings for one of her close friends (and it’s very possible that her friend had feelings for me). My feelings for her friend were not going away and this was causing me a lot of hurt. I felt that the right thing to do was to break up and walk away from the whole situation. Will the truth allow my ex to move on or will it just upset her unnecessarily? [more inside]

I'm a guy, she's a girl. We were good friends when we dated the first time, 15 years ago, before breaking up and regaining contact 9 years after that. We had an acrimonious breakup three years ago and the last she wanted was never to hear from me again. I would send her birthday emails every year, except this year, because I'm trying to shed some baggage and she was a part of that. [more inside]
