A breakup can be one of the most painful experiences in life. Whether you are the dumper or the dumpee ~ it hurts. It requires a lot of personal reflection and change. It's never easy. I will tell you that I am extremely blunt and honest in my answers. I WILL NOT answer any questions asked by anyone under the age of 18. If you are looking for someone to sugarcoat the truth ~ please ask someone else. Also, I am only giving you my expert advice ~ I am not a fortune teller ~ I cannot predict the future and my main focal point is to help you get through a very difficult time because I have been there. XOXO

That I am able to help others who are going through such a difficult period in their life - and to give them hope and empowerment to create something new and exciting for themselves.....
There is so much that I still have to learn..... the dynamics between 2 people is incredible and I learn something new everyday....
As painful as a breakup is.... there are a few general rules that I live by: Take Care of Yourself because you are worth it and FABULOUS.... Anything you CHASE in life usually runs away ..... and if this person doesn't want to be with you do you really want to settle??
Typically, when you break up ---- rarely does the relationship work out in the long term..... there are of course exceptions to the rule, but typically its a short term fix rather than a long term commitment....

Dear Heather, I would cut my losses and move on allowing to give myself a chance to meet someone else. There is nothing in this world that he has to take care of that he has to breakup with you over
Dear Michelle, He is definitely having his cake and eating it too. When he said to you that he wishes he felt about you the way he feels about this other girl ~ I would have kicked him to the curb..
Dear Sabrina, I would definitely stop reaching out to him and let him reach out to you. If he lost interest there really isn't anything that you can do about it. You need to maintain your own self
Dear Sarah, Stop being his friend and having any contact with him. Focus on yourself and then you will begin to heal. If you allow him to be in your life then you won't get over him because you will
Dear Rachel, If you are sure that you want to end the relationship you have to do it calmly, honestly, firmly, and nicely. Explain to him that you are not happy, but that you want him to be in your daughter's
