I can answer all questions related to break-ups - including knowing when it is time to move on, freeing yourself from unhealthy and abusive relationships, coping with the loss of a relationship, and strategies for re-entering the dating scene when you are ready. Please include the age of both people involved in the relationship, the amount of time you have been together, and any misgivings or doubts you have about the relationship so that I may give you the best answer possible. Long, complicated questions aren't a problem - I would rather have too much information than not enough!
I went through a series of bad relationships prior to finding true love with my husband of 4 years. I frequently was the one who ended these unhealthy relationships, including one where I was involved with an emotionally and verbally abusive person.

Hi Claine, Thanks for writing to me. Yes, it definitely sounds to me as though your husband is abusing you. This is not a situation that is going to change, and you don't want your child growing up
Hi Peter, Thanks for writing to me. I think it is very possible that your former girlfriend was too young and immature to settle down and get married. Maybe she worried she was making a mistake by
Hi Sophie, Thanks for writing to me. Since you are still very much in love with your boyfriend, I think you should give couples' counseling a try. You deserve to know where you're headed and what
Hi JD, Thanks for writing to me. Yes, these feelings will absolutely subside. Since you already felt as though you were moving on from B, your feelings are probably just basic jealousy. You are right
