Candigone side effects - please help
9:40 am
March 23, 2010
Dear HMK,
I'm so glad you've written.
Everyone's body is unique, and cleansing reactions vary from person to person. All that you describe is well within what can frequently occur when cleansing.
That said, if uncomfortable symptoms persist for more than a few days, it's often a great idea to either discontinue the cleanse and wait until the symptoms subside to resume, or else decrease your dose, often dropping to a half dose, and see if that's more comfortable.
The truth is, Candida overgrowth is persistent, and to really get ahead of it, often your cleanse will need to continue for months.
A question to you - are you also following the anti-Candida diet suggestions? You especially want to severely limit sugars and carbs, as they contribute to the very Candida overgrowth you are working so hard to eradicate.
Also, be sure to take your probiotic 2-3 hours away from your CandiGone dose, as the herbs in CandiGone are antibacterial. Don't want to work against the good guys!
Is there a particular reason you're not taking fiber? It's extremely important on a cleanse. Soluble fiber literally sops up the dead bacteria and poisons from your intestine. It's essential on a cleanse. You might find that adding fiber into your protocol might alleviate some of the digestive symptoms you're experiencing. Add it in slowly, and watch how your body responds if you choose to continue.

Hi All
I'm new. I've been suffering from a systemic yeast overgrowth for a year now. I started Candigone 13 days ago. I have been taking Candigone as directed but I've also been taking one grapefruit seed extract tablet before each meal as I developed a vaginal thrush issue a week into the cleanse and was worried it wasn't working. I am taking a heavy weight probiotic but I've not been taking fiber.
I'm concerned because:
1. I have a blocked up right ear and ear pain which I usually only get when I'm run down and haven't had in many months before the cleanse;
2. my bowel movements are somewhat loose (not diaohrea, but somewhat loose);
3. my colon feels a bit 'funny'; and
4. I've had post nasal sinus drip.
Is it normal to be experiencing these symptoms at this stage of the Cleanse? And do you have any recommendations? I'd like to continue as although I'm not thrush symptom free, I've noticed a big difference since beginning the cleanse - just a bit worried about whether I am absorbing enough from the food if bowel is loose (still only one movement a day) and I'm feeling run down after almost two weeks on the cleanse?
Sorry about the too much info component, but just very keen to get better after suffering for so long and still v determined to beat the need to take diflucan!
Thank you!

Editor's note: Join columnist MP Dunleavey and a group of women as they seek to strip away the myths around money, liberate themselves from debt and find financial sanity. Follow the continuing quest of the Women in Red every other Wednesday in Dunleavey's column on MSN Money.
Sherry Matulock still remembers the day she paid off the last of her credit cards, about four years ago. "I was so proud of myself," she says.
But that debt-free feeling didn't last.
A year later, Matulock, 33, the director of recreation for an assisted-living facility on Long Island, slipped back into the hole. "My father was sick; there was a lot going on," she recalls. And the emotional spending began.
Before she could say "MasterCard," Matulock owed $5,000, then $10,000 and ultimately $15,000 on her credit cards. That, on top of her student loan, car loan and a small personal loan, spelled grim financial news. By early 2007, Matulock's debt totaled nearly $60,000.
But she fought back and beat the debt demon, with the undying support of the Women in Red and an unexpected assist from financial expert Jean Chatzky.
Everyone who is in debt wonders what it takes to get out of it. Matulock's story reveals one woman's winning formula, composed of just a few simple ingredients.
Here's how she did it.
Hitting bottom is the first stepAs her emotional spending spiraled out of control, Matulock knew she had a problem brewing.
"Almost every morning before work, I'd be on the computer ordering things from The Gap and Old Navy. The packages would show up, and my boyfriend was like, 'What's all this stuff?' And I'd say, 'Don't worry about it!'"
Even when she was paying $400 a month to one of her cards -- and charging another $500 -- "they were just numbers. None of it felt real to me. I knew I was going through a hard time, but I couldn't admit it."
Matulock was forced to face financial reality when she opened one of her credit card statements and the minimum payment was $1,000. Not only had she gone over the limit, incurring fees and penalties, but her interest rate had skyrocketed to 28%.
She panicked. "That was my slap in the face," Matulock says.
Matulock was desperate to get her life and money back under control. The same week, she saw a story about an online community of women digging their way out of debt together. "I said, 'Wow, do I need that!'"
Rescued by some Women in RedMatulock did hardly any work that day.
"I just sat at my desk, reading through the entire thread about the Women in Red Racers."The Racers are a group within the Women in Red message board. They were founded by Becky Purvis, a teacher in North Carolina, and others. The Racers are the lifeblood of the WIR, with their determined focus on "racing" to pay back debt. (So far, they've paid off $4 million.)
Matulock joined the Racers on the spot. The Racers' method is deceptively simple:
- Calculate how much you owe, down to the penny.
- Share the debts you plan to pay off with the other members of the WIR on the message board. (People use pseudonymous screen names to protect their privacy.)
- Keep an account, on the board, of how much you pay down each month. Acknowledge any setbacks (they happen).
- Ask for advice when you need it, give it when it's asked for and enjoy knowing that you're all in it together.
- This is a race in which everybody gets to be a winner.
Within a year of joining the Racers, Matulock had paid off $15,350.20 of her credit card debt.
It wasn't that she found extra money for card payments or got a whopping raise or even a second job. Matulock made astonishing progress mainly by following the first and most basic step: Quit using plastic.
And, she discovered, there truly is strength in numbers.
"I was focused, I was organized, and I knew I wasn't alone," she says. "Being part of the Women in Red meant so much more than I realized."

*The Craziest Danzig Stalker of Them All
*Glenn Danzig's Head On Other People's Bodies: An Appreciation
*Reviewed: Glenn Danzig at Gibson Amphitheatre - 10-31-11
*Glenn Danzig's Amazing Art Collection
One of the greatest love stories ever told? Maybe not, but the fictional coupling of Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig in the comic Henry & Glenn Forever (and we were the first big media outlet to tell you about it!) has inspired more than mere fan fascination at this point. The small yet epic paperback has been such a hit, an entire art show at La Luz De Jesus Gallery has been devoted to its amorous concept, and as you can see in the photos we took on opening night this past Friday, there's not a filler piece in the bunch:
Though tribute bands Black Fag and Glenn were forced to cancel their outdoor performance due to the rain, the place was still packed. Igloo Tornado, the art collective who created the timeless tome of tough yet tender affection curated the show (they called it a "Gang Bang"). Igloo's Tom Neely answered our burning love questions the next day. Read on for his illuminating insight about the creation, reaction and inspiration behind the comic phenom and the punk rock manly man masterpieces that followed.
1. How did you come up with the idea for Henry & Glenn and did you fear their reactions?
It all started back in 2005 as a bad idea after a night of too many beers with my art fraternity, The Igloo Tornado. Gin Stevens said something like "We should do something like Tom of Finland, but with Henry Rollins and Glenn Danzig." Soon the idea evolved into a series of one-page riffs on the idea that Henry and Glenn are roommates or "domestic partners." Somewhere along the way Hall & Oates got thrown into the mix.
When we first self-published it as a couple of xeroxed zines with screen-printed covers, we never expected it to become such a phenomenon, so we didn't really worry about their reactions. We have gotten some reactions from them.
When we had the self-published mini-zine of the book at San Diego Comic Con in '05, Henry Rollins was doing a DVD signing at another booth. Gin Stevens took a copy of our book and asked him to sign it. Henry took a look at it and said "Has Glenn seen this? Trust me, he would not be amused." And we couldn't resist using that as a blurb on the back of the book.
As for Glenn... About a month after Henry & Glenn Forever came out, my friend J. Bennett was interviewing Danzig for Decibel magazine. The Igloo Tornado signed and gift-wrapped a copy of our book for J. to give to Glenn. When J. tried to give it to him, he refused to even look at it and then proceeded to rant about it for a bit. J. gave me the transcript of their interaction and I made a comic strip of that called "The Final Blow."
2. Why these two? Why not other heavy rock icons/frontmen? More aggro love connections (Lee Ving and Lemmy?) to come?
I don't know if it would work as well with anyone else. They are both such icons, and their macho attitudes, body building, and outspoken personalities gave us a lot to work with. Like chocolate and peanut butter, Henry & Glenn are a perfect combination. I've been a big fan of their music for most of my life, and that helps too. I have a lot of respect for both of their careers, but their public personas are a bit cartoonish, which makes them easy targets. But we didn't even give it that much thought in the beginning. This really was just a dumb idea scrawled on a bar napkin that turned into a monster.
3. What has been the reaction of the gay community and the punk community? The gay punk community?
I was a bit worried at first that people would misinterpret what we were doing, but thankfully it seems to have been widely embraced. One of the first people I showed the book to was San Francisco based cartoonist Ed Luce, creator of Wuvable Oaf comics series. He's a huge Misfits fan, one of my favorite contemporary cartoonists and is gay - so, I felt like if he liked it, that was a kind of test. Luckily, he loved it and became one of my biggest supporters. He is also the first person I thought of when we decided to ask other artists to do Henry & Glenn art for the show.
The punk community seems to love it, too. We've had positive reviews in Maximum Rock'n'Roll, Razorcake, Decibel, and others. I've had book orders from some of my favorite musicians like Thurston Moore, Ryan Patterson and Matt Sweeney! I even signed a copy for Rick Rubin, who produced Danzig's first album.
The only people who seem to be unhappy with the book are the humorless hardcore Danzig worshippers who can't take a joke aimed at their idol.

Computer Games II is the second volume in a two-part compendium of papers covering the most important material available on the development of computer strategy games. These selections range from discussions of mathematical analysis of games, to more qualitative concerns of whether a computer game should follow human thought processes rather than a brute force approach, to papers which will benefit readers trying to program their own games.
Next to chess, more has been written about computer Go than any other strategy game. Selections by Bruce Wilcox, a major contributor to the development of computer Go, are included here. This volume also contains papers on Othello, a game of pure skill which has been programmed successfully enough to win against a human World Champion, and Poker, which adds the dimensions of bluff and uncertainty to the challenge of computer game programming.
Games in this volume include: Othello Go Go-Moku Bridge Dominoes Dama Poker Hearts Halma Qubic Push-Over Chemin-De-Fer
Computer Games I, the companion volume, covers the following games: Backgammon Chess Checkers Scrabble

That is his biggest achievement so far along with dividing the country racially.

10 Reasons Why Men Almost Always Come Back
The time after a break up can be very tough for you, however, it can also be tough on your ex-boyfriend. Despite partying it up and meeting new women, when the music calms, you'll always be there in the back of his mind. He'll wonder how you're doing without him and rehearse the what if's in his head over and over again. Do men always come back? Not necessarily, but there are some obvious reasons and some not so obvious reasons why men will come back into your life. It may not be permanent, but men are fighters when it comes to love and are always willing to make a come back for the girl they want.
So why do men almost always come back? Here's our top 10.
1. Sex
When a man isn't getting his fix he becomes sexually frustrated. This is especially true if he was getting some with you on a consistent basis. Be careful though, don't just assume that he came back because he's not getting sex elsewhere. Sometimes it can be a comfort thing. Maybe the new girl he's getting it on with doesn't do the little "tricks" that you do? The sad reality is that most guys aren't getting any straight out of a relationship. They've been in relationship mode too long that it's tough to hop back in the field of play and land a GOOD hookup. With that being said, more than likely he's just not getting any.
2. He Genuinely Misses You
Related: How To Capture Your Dream Man's Interest (or Get It Back Again!)
The men that love being single secretly wish they had a relationship and the men in a relationship secretly wish they were single again. As soon as the relationship ended, he was a bit sad but then realized he was single again. He could now go out with his boys, hit on girls, party and drink without having the guilt of a girlfriend weighing him down. Soon after though it all slowly fades away. He'll start to miss you and the little things that came along with being in a relationship. This almost always happens..unless his ex-girlfriend was a complete bitch. Then he'd rather drink with his buddies.
3. Jealousy
When guys see an ex-girlfriend with another guy it really gets his blood boiling. He may not always show it on the surface but deep down he'd really like to punch that new guy in the face. This sucks the most for guys because it reinforces the reality that you two are no longer a couple. He'll either make sure you aren't happy with this guy or make an effort to win you back. Men will always come back with one of these two things in mind or they'll ignore it all together.
4. He's Changed
Men can change if they really want to. You as a woman can never change a man, but instead can open his eyes to a whole new reality that maybe he doesn't want to face – like the reality of living without you. If he really wants to come back into your life he'll want to show you how he's changed. More then often he's kicked some things out of his life that he knows you don't like. He's willing to show you these things up front not only for self-gratification but also because he wants the opportunity to be your man again.
5. He Regrets Leaving
When a man leaves a woman he'll sometimes regret his decision. He'll start to look back and realize that he focused all of his attention on the things he didn't like about you instead of the things he loved. As soon as he realizes the qualities you brought to the table, he'll start kicking himself in the ass and contact you as soon as possible with the hopes that you'll take him back. Give the stupid guy another shot will ya?
Related: Make Him Desire You
6. He's Checking Up
What do we mean by checking up? We mean that he wants to see if you miss him as much as he misses you. He'll send you the "hey how are you" text message as if you guys are barely meeting. He really just wants to see if the feelings are still mutual. This will bring him back around, maybe not for good but definitely long enough for you to notice that he misses you.
7. He Doesn't Want to Start Over
Going through the whole getting to know each other phase with another girl is a hassle. It can be really fun for your ex-boyfriend but eventually it becomes a "been there done that" situation. Guys would rather go back to their comfort zone (you) before starting all over again.
8. Standards
When the relationship is over a new standard is set by default. He now knows what he likes and doesn't like. While he's out dating new women, he'll start to compare by default because of the standards that you set in your past relationship together. If for whatever reason he feels those standards are not being met, he'll go back to you knowing you're the only girl who can fulfill his needs.
9. Memories
Men will always remember the good times when they aren't making new ones with another girl. This makes him want to make more memories with you at any cost. He'll come back with a purpose to make happy memories instead of the bad ones you parted with.
10. His Parents
His mom or dad keeps reminding him what an idiot he was for letting you go. Any guy that has had a relationship with a girl has some kind of relationship with his parents. A mother especially knows when her son isn't at his best and knows the reasoning behind it – a mothers intuition if you will. He'll start to listen to his mom when she reminds him that he'd better start learning to cook, clean and sew a button if he doesn't get her back.

I think its very confusion to s women it gives her mix feelings where she belongs
Smf4123 May 30, 2013
If someone can give me some insight here I'd really appreciate it.
My boyfriend just broke up with me. We were together for 8 months. I just found out he is "talking" to his ex girlfriend again. This women, after 3 years, left him while he was at work. Packed up her stuff and moved out without explanation. While we were together he almost never talked about her unless prompted and said what she did was unforgivable.
We had talked about our future, marriage possibly, having a child….up until the break-up which was completely out of the blue for me.
Can anyone, preferably a man, explain to me what is going on? Why would he just change his mind suddenly? How can men lose their feelings so quickly?
Any insight would be great! Thanks

Depending on your age, talking about marriage, having a child, and the rest of your lives talk really freaks guys out.
When you go from one relationship, being hurt, then into another relationship and rushing into things that fast, mixed emotions can set in.
So here's what probably happened (a man's perspective):
Your boyfriend has commitment issues. He's probably scared of being with one woman for the rest of his life without having really lived it up.
This doesn't necessarily mean being with more women, it simply means reaching his own goals.
Usually there's a deeper meaning than "I just don't have feelings for you anymore."
From what you said, and to keep things simple, you probably just came on too strong with the marriage stuff, having a child, spending the rest of your life together talk.
There's always positives to take from any break up. Now you know what you want for your own future and you can only become a better person from it.
All the best!

I think that was something different and it had nothing to do with rushing things, that just sounds like a stereotype. Smf4123 said his boyfriend broke up with her and then, started to talk with his ex again, seems that was the reason, considering his ex suddenly disappeared from his life, he probably found her and then, wanted to be with her again, because he still had feelings towards her, if he would break up with her, he probably wouldn't have left Smf4123. Yes, men can lose their feelings as fast as doing a snap, the reason can be related to the aspirations and wishes of every man. Maybe he wanted to start a family with you, but then his ex appeared in the picture and that changed all his plans.
I remember this girl I had, we had previously broke up, because I didn't have a good relationship with her best [female] friend, her friend has no other friends, thus, it was annoying for her when I want to spend time with my ex. During the time we broke up, I started to like another girl and I was [really interested] in her, then, one of those days, I was talking with my ex, we had a nice conversation like we were just friends, through that, I mentioned that I liked this other girl. Near the end of that conversation we both wanted to be back together.
I always treated her well, first was the problem with her friend, now, she was jealous about the girl I said I liked, even if I never mentioned the subject again or talked to that girl, she brought that over and over again. I can understand she felt that other girl was a menace for her, but one of those days, she translated that jealousy into mistreating me, she was in bad mood when I was next to her. She later approached to me and gave me a smashed, crumpled paper with a note, which it said, she wanted to talk and I should call her in the afternoon, that was enough for me, I went immediately to talk to her and I told her, "You know what? I'm tired, we broke up", then I left.
Previously, that same day, one guy who knew about that other girl, offered me his help, I told him that no, I didn't want, that I was fine. The second after I broke up with my girlfriend I didn't have any feeling about her. I remembered the offer and I told him that I accept his help. Later she saw me, at the distance, talking with the other girl, then she looked down.
Months passed, I had another girlfriend and my ex was still interested in me, so, she was trying to cause a break up by intimidating my girlfriend. She contributed to that, it was a relationship which was going to end sooner or later, though. Weeks later, my ex sent me a letter, telling me about all her feelings and how much she missed me.
We later agreed to talk, I told her I had no plans to return with her, then she told me she was surprised about that day, that after breaking up I went to talk to this other girl, that how could I forget about us so easily? Then I told her, she knew how she behaved and treated me all that time and then, she realized everything and told me, "I know". We finally ended up in good terms and as any couple which broke up, we didn't have so much contact, but we didn't feel uncomfortable or awkward when we were close to each other.
My boyfriend and I were dating for about 22 months. He texted me saying he wanted to break up because he didnt like me being friends with a guy. Ive been friends with this guy for way longer than my boyfriend and i have been talking. I didnt agree with him, so the relationship ended in an argument. After not talking for a couple of weeks, he texted me saying how he missed me and regretted everything and just wanted me back. I told him I'd be friends with him and maybe go out with him again. Later in the conversation, I started asking him questions. Turns out he broke up with me for someone else. It's been two months since the break up, and he's still asking to go back out. I havent completely firgiven him. Should I? How do I know if he really means what he says?

Taking someone back after they broke up with you for someone else is like reloading the gun and giving it back to him to shoot you in the back once more.
He probably is deeply sorry, but it doesn't mean that he wouldn't do it to you again. I mean what makes you think he won't find a new "flavor of the week" and dump you again?
Plain and simple, this life is too short to be wasting your time on second chances. Consider it a lesson learned and take the positives from the break up. Move on. You've got a lot of life to live.
Hey there,
Can someone please help me with this one. I have been seeing this guy for 8 months now. The first 5 months of our relationship were amazing. I had never felt so close to a guy and generally just at peace with him. It was perfect. We spoke on the phone all day long and we weren't apart for more than a day at a time. Within those 5 months he had trust issues with me. I lied on my whereabouts once but he forgave me. He did tell me during the argument that he can't ever take me seriously. Well, things got back to normal, or so I thought. The communication was still there; the passion still there. Until the 5th month when I had to move away for 4 months for school. He changed. The calls became less (I was hearing from him one time a day as opposed to the usual 10 times) and I just generally felt a distance between us almost immediately. He never said Happy Valentine's Day to me even after I reminded him the day before to do so.
Well, things went down hill after that. I had been trying to patch things up with him even though he claimed everything between us was fine. So this last 8th month was the worst. A few weeks before the break up (and we were back in the same town) I kept bugging him about communication. I mean there was a time he went 5 days without speaking to me and I just felt it wasn't normal. He swore he wasn't seeing anyone else and would just blame it on being busy with work. I tried to break off the relationship every other week but I'd quickly apologise for it because eventually, I wouldn't see a lack of communication as a big enough reason to break up. We were still seeing each other once a week or once every other week.
Anyway, so I eventually had enough when he went for a party without me. My problem with that was that I was invited by a mutual friend of ours 2 weeks before the party but I said I'd prefer if my boyfriend told me himself as I don't know the guy throwing the party. My boyfriend never did and I got mad and broke it off. He got mad, said a few things then said goodbye over txt msg (because I typed my long break up msg over text). I don't know if I miss him because I was complaining to him more often than not about our communication and he kept reassuring me that everything was fine and he wanted to be with me. But I always felt something was wrong. Anyway I want to know if he will be back.
I need a man's perspective.
Me and the mechanic were together for just over 7 months. He's got along great with my kids, he's slowly started stepping into a role model for them (biological father is absent). I met his friends within a week of our first date, I've since become friends with them as well, I know he loves me and my kids. His mom loves me and my boys (I still see her) , so much so that even though me and the mechanic split, she has since made a play area for my kids in her home and they now have toys there (she doesn't have grandkids so I see this as a big deal). Since we broke up about 2 months ago we still saw each other regularly, he's initiated, we talk on the phone, I've met more of his friends, he's took me and my kids bowling as a treat for their good behavior. We still sleep together. Literally and sexually (he and I have both admitted to having the best physical experiences with the other) . He's known that I still wanted a relationship with him (I screwed up and crossed a trust boundary by going into his phone to reread something which lead to our demise) and I know it will take time to gain that trust again. He's has low testosterone, and when he's uses his supplements regularly his drive goes through the roof, the past 2 weeks or so I've felt (emotionally) like that's all her wanted me for, even though I knew (logically) that it wasn't true. Egh feelings. I brought it up to him here got really upset and left. We didn't talk the next day (I was at his moms) our next conversation that night was awkward. I asked if he'd meet me for lunch as an olive branch of sorts, he called and I basically said is this where you want us to be (not talking after he stormed out) ? Cause if it is then I'll leave you alone. He said that I'm a good woman, he doesn't have a single bad thing to say about me, but he can't make me happy it's either too much or not enough, so he's done trying. We hung up shortly. Within 10 minutes he text to see if I wanted to go driving around with him (one of our typical activities if I don't have my kids with me). He bought a book I wanted to read to my kids that we found during our travel. He made a detour on our way back to try to find the grounds to a castle we saw, which made me a little late picking my kids up. So……. My question is. He is the definition of man. He's not overly emotional, he doesn't express his feeling well, he's not into huge PDA, he has physically demanding work, he loves old trucks and cars, he's a provider, needs his space, never let's me pay for so much as a stick of gum. He is a man through and through. How will I tell in the coming weeks if he is just wanting to stay friends (we get along extremely well in person and intellectually) or if he still carries a torch and I still have his heart.
After being in relationship with husband for nine years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that don't believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I saw some good talk about this spell caster called Dr kala and I email him, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: email@example.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.I CAN NEVER STOP TALKING ABOUT YOU SIR HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS: email@example.com CONTACT HIM NOW FOR SOLUTION TO ALL YOUR PROBLEMS
Hi there
I would really appreciate if someone could help me out
I was with this guy for almost 2 years and a half and he ended over text, so ridiculous I was heart broken by what happened and still am to this day. It's been a year since the break up but within this whole year I saw him a lot since we have so many mutual friends which makes things much harder, but everywhere I see him all he does is sit there and stare at me, and recently he's been doing it so much more and when I look into his eyes I can tell that he's not over it and I feel like he wants to talk to me. I don't know what to do I just need some advice.
anonymous September 13, 2014
How old are you and your boyfriend? Why do you think he stares at you and says nothing? Did he break up with you or did you break up with him? Is he looking around for other girls and just keeping you open as an option?
I would suggest that if you have spoken to this man and expressed to him how you feel and all he does after all this time is sit and stare that he is not prepared to do anything other than that. If he will not speak to you, just keep it moving. I know this is painful, but I found myself in a similar situation. I was very attached to the man and tried to figure out what was going on inside his head. Eventually I figured out that I was wasting my time. He was unresponsive for a reason I could not understand at all.
Have you ever heard the expression "what is the sound of one hand clapping"? If he is not coming forward the way he used to, there is no "clapping". You are going to break your arm trying to make the sound by yourself. Don't do it. I am sure you are a lovely woman and if the guy cannot step up to the plate at this time it is really best to walk away. Who knows what he is thinking over. Believe me I know it is easier said than done. But down the road when you walk around looking at other people and other people are looking at you and smiling at you, you will know that his smile, though special, is not the only one out there, and your smile is a gift to others too. I like to think of my ex as a "visitor". Someone who came into my life, we shared joy, and then he left. Really easier to move on that way, especially if I am the only one "clapping". Good luck.
I was with him on and off for 3 years. At first we didn't want anyone to know, because of his family. But we had an amazing relationship. He was my best friend, we could talk about anything or have fun doing whatever. He was the first to express his love, and I felt the same way. After 2 years we talked about spending our lives together, and then he proposed. The relationship got rocky because of his family, and he became overly stressed. He almost died 2 times within a week, and not long after that we found out I was pregnant. He left me. We tried to talk for about 3 weeks but we haven't talked in over 2 months. He told me he absolutely does not want the baby and never wants to see me again. I know he didn't leave for anyone else, as he is beyond anti-social and never goes anywhere. I'm not perfect, I can be a bitch sometimes, but he's always been there for me. Like I said, we were best friends but now he's gone and it hurts more than words can say. We haven't had any contact at all. No calls or texts, not even Facebook or email. He blocked my Facebook, so he has the option for contact. He knows where I live, he has my phone number. I won't bother him, he hates being pushed into a corner so to say. But I have convinced myself that he won't contact me in any way. I still wish he would, but he's as stubborn as I am. Any advice or input? I just feel lost I guess.
There's this guy I hadn't met before but spoke to almost everyday on phone. The first day I met him, we had sex, and one more after. After being intimate with him, he hardly answered my texts or calls, so I figured I wasnt needed so I kinda forgot about him. But he called and told me how sorry he was for doing that. He went to a different state to study, and stopped getting in touch like we use to. But I figured hes is just a jerk so again, I kinda stopped thinking of him until he called to apologize and promised it wouldn't happen again. I don't call or send texts, he does all that and I ignore him but he keeps trying. I really need to know what his deal with me is? Because I sexed with him the first time we met, he run and apologized. I want to know why hes acting the way he is. Does he love me? Should I take him seriously?

Let him take you out to dinner, buy you some nice gifts, take you for a day trip to the park or a special lake or a resort. Do not go to his home. Do not invite him to your home. Just go out and have fun with him. Do this at LEAST for a period of one month. If he likes you, he will want to spend time with you. And you will find out if you like to spend time with you. Does he have a job? Is he involved with another woman? Don't have sex with him until you find out if the both of you enjoy spending time together and he makes you happy. What do you want? Just sex or someone to do things with? YOU create the program. Good luck.
I and my boy friend as been separated for a long period, I cam across different spell caster and they were all unable to bring my lover back. I was so sad and almost gave up on him when i met a spell man called DR OLOKUM, who helped me get my lover back. Ever since then i have been so happy and couldnt believe it would happen. He also helped me with success spell, I have been living happily with my lover now and will be getting married soon. Here is his contact if you need his help. email@example.com
My boyfriend and I had been dating for 24 months when he broke up with me. He broke up with me because he said he wasn't happy anymore and wanted space. I'm really broken and I miss him terribly. I really want him back! What do I do? He still has all our pictures on facebook and Instagram and it says we're still in a relationship on facebook and it's been almost 3 weeks. He's been having fun hanging out with his guys and talking to girls. Am I losing him? I just don't know what to do. It's our first break up and I just want him back.
Jessica February 27, 2014
I feel bad for so many people on here who haven't gotten replies/answers. It's been a while and I don't know if you guys got back together but I've done a lot of research on break ups and relationships. Bottom line, it's a good sign that he still has your pictures on his FB page. He is still hanging on to you for sure. Now you must do what you do not want to do…leave him ALONE, let him figure things out in his head.
The rule is, when a guy says "I need space" or breaks up with you, you MUST GIVE HIM SPACE. Why? Because if you keep bugging him and going toward him he will get more turned off. Not to be mean but he is already either frustrated with you, burnt out on you, feeling crowded or a little tired of you and has lost some interest. That's okay tho! Just tell him you understand that he needs space and tell him he can have all the time he needs. After a few days or maybe a week, he will miss the SILENCE from you and will miss you. If it's a break up it could take a month-2 months. THAT is exactly what you must do when a guy needs space. No texting, no calling, no showing up where you know he'll be. Is it easy? NOOOooo. BUT if you don't give him space or leave him ALONE when he breaks up with you (make him come to you) he will pull farther away from you and you could lose him forever. Post and let us know what happened. Much happiness to you.

Your advice was the best I have gotten on here; because it actually worked! Thank you!!
hey, for the "checking up" my ex txt me saying "hey" but thats about it but it was till like few days till he didnt txt me when i broke up with him. so when he txted me right after few days later, he misses me? btw, why would a guy ask a girl out but never hang with her? like is it cause hes that nervous or too shy to like hang with her so he make up little lies that he cant make it? is it cause hes too afraid of girls that in his mind if he come, she wont be there, so he avoid that happening by him not hanging with his girl? is it cause he dont kno how to treat a girl right? we are both young, yes, im 16 turning 17 soon and hes i think 16 if not already 17 but ik hes older than me by few months i think. anyways, why he treat me like im a bad person or something like i will hurt him? i wont hurt him and he knows that too.. plz help me anyone..? idk what to do no more and i do like him but sometimes i get a feeling that he doesnt like me and that everything is all a scam/using me that "oh yeah he have a gf" but never hang around with her.?! o.O
When my ex boyfriend and I broke up he turned off my phone and all contact was severed. After 4 months he has turned my phone back on. I contacted him to tell him the phone was on. He said he know it was. I don't understand what he's doing. I'm thankful for it but I'm a little confused. He's the one that wanted to brake up. I know I still love him, but I don't want to push him away. Dont know what I'm to do.
some insight would be GREAT
I broke up with my boyfriend after being together for 6 months. We ended because he wasn't making me a priority. I didn't want to be the center of his universe by any means but he was very unreliable, wouldn't show up when he was supposed to and would always rather be out with his friends. I know he doesn't want a relationship right now, that's why he was acting like that. We haven't talked since I broke up with him. We've seen each other in passing and said hi but that is it. Will he come back around when the timing is right for him? Should I just give up all hope?
Excellent analogy.
I hope you can help me. I had been with my boyfriend for 4 years and he broke up with me a few days ago. I knew in my mind the NC was the best way to go, we have broken up before and I did my best to move on.. NC, rebounded yada yada. Eventually, he wanted me back. This time, stupidly, I gave in to my inner turmoil of emotions and emptiness and contacted him. This just ended up making me feel worse, as he said he feels nothing for anything (he has had depression for some time), he needs space and time to build himself back up from this, and he wants to experience life without a partner and be alone (we are both quite young) and that he knew he couldn't and wouldn't build himself back up whilst he was with me. He said that his doubts had been going on for months, that he just didn't feel the same. I didn't see any of this though, I only noticed him being distant a couple of weeks ago. I thought we were good. Now all this. We lived together, so he moved out when we broke up. I'm devastated, as you can imagine, and that's why I'm here. I want him back. I know that NC is still the best way to go from here on out (even though I really just want to apologise for being such an emotional wreck and calling him in the first place). Problem is, I have no clue if he will ever want me back or if he'll just move on. We don't see each other, I have no idea what he's doing with himself (if he's rebounded, or wanting to) and I can't eke tabs as he blocked me on Facebook (probably shouldn't be obsessing anyway, right?) so, I don't know how to tell if he wants me back. He left some of his things here so if he contacts me during NC to get it back should I still ignore him? Or should I let him get his things and have to deal with seeing him/talking to him again and face the possibility I may go back to square one? He's as stubborn as the next man, when he makes a decision he generally tends to stick to it.. Also with the depression, I don't know if he even feels a thing. HELP. Please. Do I have any chance or should I just try and move on??
So I need advice guys. I've been in a relationship with. Guy for 8 years. We been talking about marriage and he constantly told me he loved me. I always hD doubts that is he cheating on me. Just cuz I'm a girl and I always felt insecure. But he constantly told me were older and the mistakes he made when he was 16 which was flirting on Facebook is in the past. Something big happened on his life. His dad from his home country kind of told him that he's doing nothing in life such as school and his life is wasting away. He met me and told me all this and was thinking of moving to his country to go back to school. I cried and cried. He felt horrible and said he loves me and he's Gona talk to his dad and figure things out and he needs to just figure it out. I wouldn't give it a rest kept bothering him even when I reached home. Feeling so insecure. I cried and threatened to kill myself. He constantly told me he just needs to space to think and figure things out and that if I stick with him that's all he needs. But of course I couldn't. Felt more insecure. I kept calling and he said he didn't wana marry me. He didn't feel the spark. I met him the next day. He said he didn't love me. He didn't feel anything and he needs to break up with me to find himself as a person. He said there's a 80 percent chance he won't come back after this break up. I asked did u ever love me. He said I guess. He said I was the best thing in his life but he can't continue with me. And that he felt like this for a month. Even tho he was so serious about marriage and wanting to be with me for the rest of my life a week ago. And when I always had doubts he always said we are not young and that he I'm his everythibg and we will get married. And that he would talk to my brother about us. Regardless of when my bf was drunk or sober he constantly told me that. So what are the chances him coming back. I havnt talked to him for 6 days. Using the NC rule. Anyone that can give me insight on a guys point of view. I know all those things he said about loving me wasn't a lie. Because him as a person would never say Nyting to me just to say it now always meant what he said. That's why the day he broke up with me seem so serious. Do u guys think it's from anger and frustration and once time passes he will realize that he truly loves me ?

Hi, 6 days is too soon, my bf broke up with me after 9 years after we told our families we want to commit to marriage.
I always had my insecurities because he didn't show me the love he usto years ago. I made things worse by nagging and getting paronoid etc. Eventually he broke up with me and left. My family were devestated and I have been suffering depression since. I am currently in NC mode and have been over a month, yet there has been no progress.
My advice would be leave him and take each day as it comes, without realising everyday makes you a stronger person and if it's meant to be he will come back to you, but if it isn't then at least you have prepared yourself in time.
Men like to be in control at all times hence why he will only return out of choice not if he is being asked to. Good luck, and keep me posted x
I'm losing it bad. My guy & I were together for 3 months but know from the first date we had an uncanny connection to each other. Even down to him returning from a show that was out of town & asked what I wanted to do. I said "all I can think about is sex & ice cream" he said "OMG, I just told my friend the exact same thing yesterday" (we never eat ice cream). He is a body builder & I work out every day so that was strange.
I have an ex husband that I had a restraining order against. Ok, we stood before the judge & I said I don't want him to have it on his record, please make him leave me alone. Then we both ended up at the same place, he cussed me out (drunk), I called the police & they said to write the judge so I did. About 6 weeks go by & I realize I don't have the title to my Harley. I contacted him & he was like the normal person I knew..not the crazy stalking, hacking, freak he had been. He has a gf now, thank God.
Well, because of the delay after the divorce, we didn't get everything taken care of as far as small things…bike parts, title & he had to come over to help start my bike because I sold it.
During all of this I was not to contact my boyfriend for 2 weeks because of what body builders have to do to prepare for shows. It's insane.
Well once the show was over he was at my house every day. We were going to dinner then dance & I mentioned my ex stopping by to give me medicine. My guy left..I ran to my phone, called & was like WTH?! He said to never call or talk to him again. Then called back 30 seconds later saying some crazy sh*t like if I try to pull anything I will have huge problems & regret ever meeting him.
We were so contacted before this. What the hell happened & do you think he'll ever talk to me again (he had me blocked on fb before he could have been home). I'm beyond heartbroken. This happened last week. Can someone give me input? Without telling me to let it go because he is unlike any man I have ever met.
(I might add that he continuously says he doesn't want a relationship because they are too hard & he doesn't trust women but yet we were together all the time. I met his dad & brother. But something that struck me as odd about a month ago is when I sent him some pics of me laying out in the sun & he replied that I better not send those to anyone else. Then said "you're mine :)" Now is a girl really supposed to "get" this??? HELP PLEASE – I want him, I pray for him. (bf age 31, me 34, ex 41)
My ex-boyfriend and I went out for about three months but for three years we were on and off and never really officially got back together and we would end up arguing. Thing is I never really let go of my feelings for him and I tried to move on. I would go on dates with other guys but somehow I always found myself going back to him whenever he reached out to me. I have never been the first one to contact him, it's always him. Anyway recently he has started talking to me again after months of not talking at all and I don't understand why he always tries to start something with me when he talks to a handful of other girls. I don't know what's going through his mind and I can't ask him because he always gives me a vague answer.
I need a help.. i was in a relationship with a guy for just a month. In this time he loved me like anythng, he wanted to spend a lot of time with me, he did everythng wat he could, but after a week something happened by my mistake.. He started ignoring me.. I tried my best to get him back. i loved him like hell. Did every possible thing what i could do to get him back. But he end up by saying that he loves me but he dont want to get into a relationship. He just want me as a friend. But i love him and i cant be friends with him so i just left… I stil miss him n love him more than anything. Wil he ever get back to me? I have made so many efforts to get him back but he ends up by saying dat he dnt want relationship.. Will he ever realise that i loved him madly.
After being in relationship with him for 3 years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the other ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email is firstname.lastname@example.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or any other problem.
I need help please. My boyfriend of four years just broke up with me. We have known each other since 9 grades dated our 10 grade year I moved and my freshman yr in college we got back together. He cheated on me in college and I kissed a guy in college. So we both cheated which led to trust issues. We decided to work them out and move on. After college I moved in with his parents and we argued a lot which put the family in our relationship and that's a no no. Once we moved out and got our own spot we still argued on and off sometimes more than usual over stupid stuff like cleaning, putting dirty cloths away etc. Dumb things. We knew it was stupid so we would always blow it over because our love for one another was stronger than the little incidents. He has moved out once before and moved back in with his parents and I think all the stuff we went through and his family being put in the middle of it made his mom not like me. Like when he was over the first time he moved out his mom asked why are you over her house. I understand its her son but she was in our business a lot and it was because he was a momma boy. Plus when your son hurts you are going to be on defense. But when he moved back in she said she wasn't getting into our relationship again and she didn't but this time we got into it over something stupid and he moved out I went over to talk to him and his mom said she needs to leave I did respectfully. I've been so emotional because I have been through so much with the guys and his is my best friend, boyfriend,we went through me being pregnant but losing the Baby, good times bad times everything you can name I have been through it with him. I know in the relationship I have lost myself and I know I need to find out who I am and make myself happy first. He told me that the day he was leaving and it hurt. I've talked to him 3 times since we broke up and I'm trying not to be emotional and needy and act desperate but its hard he was my other half and me being in this apartment makes me think of him. I lost my job and he said he will still help me pay the rent so I guess he still cares. But when we talked he tells me our chapter is over he is tired of being controlled and being disrespected and not having me listen to him. I don't do these things on purpose and it only happens when we argue over stupid stuff. Well my question is with everything I just said is there a chance we will get back together he has told me over the phone I'm not getting myself together because I'm calling him I'm not giving him time to miss me. I'll say once we work on ourselves do you think we can give it a fresh start he says sure maybe idk but then tell me don't give myself false hope and he will probably need come back. And there is someone out there for me. And he wasn't Happy. He said he is grieving just as well as I am and he thinks about it to. And he isn't looking for a new relationship. Please what should I do please help is there a chance for us. He says he still has love for me and cares about me but he doesn't want to be with me. He doesn't know if we will ever be together again. Is he doing this to hurt me or is this forreal. P.s. sorry so long I have a lot on my mind as you can see
My advice to any one who might be thinking of contacting a spell caster,is to contact Metodo i know he the only real spell caster i think still leaves his methods will speak and make you believe. I am not really that kind of person that disclose much about myself experience especially on the internet but today i am going to make an to exception I really never intended to say to anybody that i used a spell to get what i wanted in life not cos i am ashamed of it but cos some may never believe cos its seem like something that can never happen. All it take is to find the real and right spell caster. Am that kind of person that have always thought that marrying a rich man will set me free in financially as a matter of fact i have been married to to four different men all for money i guess after every divorce with every one of them i didn't as much as i expected even when there was no prenuptial agreement signed. But When i met my firth to be husband,i never expected i will fall for him so much i mean he was so charming cute and for the first time he made me feel safe like he will always be here for me not matter what happens. For the first time i was in love. Maybe i don't know what love is cos i never felt it for any one my ex husband the only detail i can give is that my heart literally beats fast when he was around me, anytime he ran his finger through my hair. I always knew my past will come to hurt me no matter what i do but i never gave it to much thought cos i never thought i will meet this kind of man. At the time i meant him ,it was not a while before the relationship became serious cos i bet he loved me also. We moved in together and our relationship just blosoomed. He was gentle with me always i mean my life was a fairy tale for a moment. But then again my past life that was to be left in the closet got out. I was so much in love to not tell him about my pasted life i just wanted to left him know like this was the person i use to be but cos of him i changed .He brought me to the light. I guess that was not the case he grew mad at me and thought i was going to do the same thing to him just like my exes. I don't know if it was that in the last 4 years i have been married four time to four different men cos of their bank statement that made him mad of was that i didn't tell him all this while. All the same after a while of not speaking with me he moved out. I thought he was going to call i just wanted to give him space i mean my friends suggested i did that but time few by with no call no text the only time he came back to our house was to pick his remaining things. The first man i have ever loved was walking out of my life just like a mist that comes and go i wanted him back to show him that he changed me to show him with him am a different person,He kept saying he would not want the same thing to happen to him just like my exes i believed he still loved he though he never said but that thought made me contact Metodo the spell caster for help. I saw positive comments about him and someone said she has actually seen, that is come in contact with him during the time he helped her. Was not really sure what to believe i just thought i was desperate i need help right away or i was going to lose my dream man for life. Like honestly i was not going to travel for over thirteen hours or so to look for metodo in were he leaves cos one i din't know anybody there and two my run my private spa so i had little all not time and it will be an expensive thing to do. I could not also get the materials he needed to cast the spell so i had to ask him to get them for me so i can give him the money to pay for them. Within the first seven week he sent me a some candle with some hand written don't really know what to call it but will say words to recite at night at the right hour. At that time within the seven days, Stephen started coming around all the time i mean i don't think it was coincidental cos really it wasn't. I believed what Metodo was doing was working. Just after those seven day i received a parcel with something he gave me instruction on how to use. This is no lie in anyway Stephen and i are back together now he is no slave to anything cos of the spell he is just the way he was before the spell only made him love me more and never talk or think about my past life. Not everybody will believe this more over its just something on the internet but my heart knows every of this word that formed this entire comment is true. Living Metodo contact for those who believes me and needs help metodoacamufortress @ yahoo. com
Hey, Friends, it's really sad and touching what we go though this days in our relationship. I have been in relationships affected by pains and depression for years, both sides (I was depressed, but thanks to God, am now a happy woman today with the help of someone). It's sad to say, but I have lots of experiences on this subject. If you're interested, I'd share them with you, so that you can forever be happy in your relationship and be happy with the person you love. You can write to my email address: firstname.lastname@example.com , hope you're holding up!
Well I am in need of some advice.
My boyfriend broke up with me because he said he needed space and time to himself to think. He said that he still loved me but didn't know if he was still inlove or it was just comfort. We have been together for 1 year and about 6 months. We have been living together since the beginning. we are both 20. He still has all my pictures in is social media. Our relationship has always been a good one we fought but not about serious things. I am very much inlove with him and I just need some advice. Thank you so much
Plz help…I have been seeing a neighbor guy for about 3 months. I have met his parents and friends. We even went to Florida on vacation together. He is an alcoholic… which I am ok with because I feel I love him drunk or sober.(while drunk we are very close and talkive) But when he gets sober which is only about 2 out of 4 weeks at best…he eventually tells me he just wants to be friends…. but then after 2 or 3 days he calls or comes over just like nothing has happened. He has done this to me about 3 times now and I am at wits end. Maybe its the alcohol problem or being sober or maybe his true feelings??
(he does have an exwife that he still gives money to and talks to briefly daily). Or maybe its her?? I just don't know and he doesn't really give me any reason for this behavior… I know I should just leave him alone but he has now got close with my kids and Im not getting any younger and I really do like him…. Plz some advice…
anonymous October 15, 2014
I am not getting any younger either. I have no kids and my last boyfriend took a lot of drugs, which I did not know about when the relationship started. When I found out I was shocked. Some of his friends were really creepy.
It was a 4 year roller coaster ride with this man who left me in the end. The friends and the drugs seemed to be a big problem.
My advice to you is to step back from the situation and tell the guy how you feel. It is just like an alcoholic or drug user to bounce around like this emotionally, then everybody bounces with him. Probably the reason he split up with the wife. She can be friends from a distance.
One day my ex was hot, then he was cold. Not consistent in his words and actions.
No man is perfect, but my advice would be to tell him exactly how you feel and take a step back. One day he is in one mood, next day something else. It happened to me and it was so stressful. I still miss the guy, but
when I think about how much he took my affections for granted – I don't miss that.
I would suggest to him that he visit a doctor. That might give him the wake up call he needs to see what he is doing to his body and maybe he will change his drinking habits. As long as he drinks, you can expect hot and cold from him.
I understand what you mean about getting older and being alone. It's only been 3 months. Start to dig yourself out of this hole as soon as possible by letting him know how you feel and telling him it is stressing you out. Just think if 4 years go by and it's the same story. Change the story. He needs to be fair to you. Let him know how you feel. If he cannot be fair, you will really get to your wits end. Good luck.
Gosh, I wish my ex would come back to me but I think I have little hope of that happening What happens if you do something wrong – like look at their phone messages – – I guess then you have to just move forward and realise that it's over. I keep waiting and hoping that he will return – he said he might – but I think I just need to wake up and realise that I messed up and that he wont be back It's so painful and so incredibly difficult to move We all make mistakes though
I need a guys point of view. Idk what to do I'm really tired of being lonely I know I'm only 20 and alot of people say I'm young I have all the time to find someone. Me and my ex were together for about a year and a half but we actually knew each other throughout our childhood because I use to be close friends with his sisters. The first few months was pure happyness until we started getting closer to each other than we started fighting because I was his first and he has never been with any girls except me but I had been with a few guys before him and he would always fight with me about my past and one day I got so tired of fighting I moved out and back home. I tried to fix things after and he was willing to fix things to but after a week and a half he started acting weird so me and my sister went to spy on him at his work and I seen him and another girl get into his car we sped over there and got out but he locked his doors and looked at me as if he didn't know ne why would he do something like that? He would keep telling me lies saying he wants to take time with me and slowly work on our relationship but he was seeing this other girl that he worked with. It was 2 weeks after me and him literally broke up that he made it official with her but kept lieing to me saying he doesn't have a girlfriend when he did. And he would keep telling me he wanted things fixed but kept coming around Because he wanted sex bUT I wouldn't give it to him than when I finally confronted the girl I had seen with him at his work she ended up telling me they were together and he was playing me. Does that mean he didn't love me ever? Will he ever come back?
I came to this site just to testify to one powerful man that brought my lover back to me within the period of 48 hours, Whose name and contact information are dr.tamazaki and you can contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com or call +2348185277879. At first i never believe that he will ever be able to bring back my lover to me but today through the help of dr.tamazaki myself and my lover are back together living happy with our lovely kids once again l say a big thank you for saving my marriage.
They always come back trust me!! Ive got one at mo after me who broke my heart few years ago he kept tryimg every few months i did get back with him and i dumped him….hes still trying a year later….they only want what they cant have…when you have in your mind moved on….thats when they return look at prince william and his bride they split for months now a happy ending
Me and my boyfriend been together a year and a half. He broke up with me 6 days ago, as we have both started university courses and we are both stressed and felt a lot of pressure. He came to see me last Sunday and said that he loves me and doesn't want to break up. But needs to do it for him and he become unhappy with all of the pressure and stress. The day before we broke up I asked him do you want to break up? as I knew he wasn't happy and he said no I don't! !! But the next day he changed his mind.
I have been very stressed with university moving in and my course is very intense. So I have been very stressed and needy as I spoke to him a lot about my problems. When we broke up he was hugging me so tight and stroking my hair and crying his eyes out saying he doesn't want to break up but needs to for him. I asked is there any chance in the future and he said he doesn't no and can't promise me anything.
He said he loves me and will always love me but we have to try the break up. I am making changes on my life now such as seeing a therapist and spending more time with friends. I said we shouldn't speak for a couple weeks and he agreed I then said we can talk after that and he said yes okay. Do you think there is any chance for us?
His problem is that he doesn't tell me when something is bothering him and has left the issue we are in now to become worse and I think he has overwhelmed himself. We get on so well and have never broken up before talked about being together forever and the future. What do I do? I not spoke to him for a week and he not contacted me do you think he doesn't want to contact me?
I have written a letter which I am going to send at the end of the week as we said to give it 2 weeks. I am sending it in the post as I don't want to crowd him and want him to make up his own mind on what he thinks to my letter. It isn't begging for him back just explaining that I understand why he has done it and that I am changing things already
Anyone give me any advice?

Effective New Samsung Commercial for Curved TV
Samsung recently released its first curved UHD television in Europe and is promoting with a brilliant and cinematic TV ad by CHI & Partners .

CHI & Partners shot this on location in New Zealand with Park Pictures. Check out the awesomeness. Hopefully we'll be seeing this television and this commercial in the US soon.

Print Advertising Innovation with Solar Power
While researching for a Native Marketing new client – Boyle Enterprises – we discovered a unique magazine ad for Nivea that recently ran in Brazil. The ad doubles as a solar charging panel complete with USB charging port. That's right, an advertisement in a magazine that captures sunlight to charge your smartphone so you never have to leave the beach! What a wonderful idea Nivea! Here's a link to the video.
@Instagram Now Posting #Insta-Ads Daily
While most are beautifully shot and/or very appropriate for the Instagram audience – some have been bashed for their "out of touchiness." The idea of Instagram advertisements is great, don't get me wrong. Brands that desire a strong emotional connection with consumers can really make this platform work well. Just don't' blow it. Check out this recent article from AdAge about Instagram's move to daily advertising.
Fantastic Optical Illusion TV Spot from @Honda
Things are not always as they appear is the precept of Honda's newest TV spot. "An Impossible Made Possible" is the message that highlights improved CR-V features such as better mileage for the 1.6 i-DTEC Diesel model. Forced perspective and anamorphic illusions create a mind-bending ad for the CR-V. At one point, the car rapidly approaches a row of five concrete traffic bollards. As you cringe in preparation for the impending crash, the camera pans right to reveal the barriers as painted asphalt illusions, allowing the CR-V to effortlessly drive through. Try repeated viewing to catch all the creative illusions Honda applies in this innovative car commercial.
Mobile Ad Spending Up 145%
According to ComputerWorld, revenue from mobile ads and searches more than doubled in the first half of 2013, reaching $3 billion, as advertisers began seeing value in offering ads over tablets and smartphones.
The increase was 145% over the $1.2 billion recorded for the first half of 2012, according a report released yesterday by the Interactive Advertising Bureau.
Analysts and the IAB attributed the surge in mobile to several factors, including an ability to better measure the success of mobile ads.

'Brutally hot'
31 July 2010
'Brutally hot'
Turin. Production rehearsals
The band didn't come in today as the backline guys needed the time to set up on the mainstage. I had a productive day working with Declan again, finishing off the audio sequences - a tighter re-edit of the questions, two alternative opening sequences and a new set list running order on an iTunes playlist. I found myself stunned by technology as Declan dragged the audio files to a folder on his desktop and informed me that they were right now installing themselves on Bono's iPod. They've set up a 'cloud' for transferring files and have perfected it so that it's a simple matter of drag-and-drop to send material to each other. For a minute I felt like a caveman in Piccadilly Circus - the iDisk part I get, but the instant auto iPod loading is frankly just showing off. It's all very modern these days, to be sure.
It was brutally hot in the stadium again, and it was rather charming to see some of the video crew in the shade of the mix position, cutting each other's hair. I knew that we were in the presence of multi-talented technicians, but hairdressing expertise was, I confess, unexpected.
Once the sun had left the stadium, I spent an hour or so rehearsing bridge moves with the stage carpenters. It took a bit of head scratching, but the finer points of the bridge choreography did eventually come back to me. It's funny, for a couple of songs I referenced the Rosebowl DVD and was amused to see that (as always) some songs contain shots poached from other songs, which means that very occasionally the bridges make spontaneous position changes from shot to shot. This is completely normal and certainly doesn't hamper the overall storytelling, but the trainspotters out there will have a ball.
By 9pm I had go through my to-do list and had arranged with the lighting and video departments to run through all the show cues at 9.30. However, by this time there was a 'line checkl in full swing - a process of going through each sound input on the stage to make sure it's working over sound system. This involves endless monotone banging, crashing and kerranging at extreme volume, an aural experience only eclipsed in unpleasantness by jamming knitting needles in your ears. Fair enough, this was the first opportunity that the back line team had to be on stage this year, so it was their night. Learning that this would go on until 11pm, I rather boldly made the call to postpone our visual run-through and send the lighting and video crews home early, a move that made me the post popular boy in the school for the rest of the night. This coming week will no doubt see us working until the wee hours most nights, so it's probably no bad thing to give everyone a night off (after a mere 12 hour work day). I just hope they can keep out of trouble.

The Chris Sale-Clayton Kershaw showdown scheduled for Monday night would have been fun. Two of the game's best pitchers facing off in one of baseball's most iconic venues had a chance to be one of the early highlights of the season.
That said, White Sox starting pitching besides Sale hasn't been tough to watch these days — even if the marquee matchup was cancelled when the Sox pushed their ace's next start up a day to Sunday. The Sox were able to do it after Sale threw only 40 pitches in his rain-shortened outing Tuesday, seizing a chance to get him another home start and keep him on his usual four days of rest.
"Whenever they need me or my name is called, I'm going out there. It just so happens to be Sunday, which for me makes sense because I only threw three innings," Sale said. "So go out there on regular rest and get it going, try to find a groove."
That's what the Sox' rotation has found.
Before Friday's 4-1 loss to the San Diego Padres, Sox starters had a 2.14 ERA and had been holding opponents to a .187 average over the last nine games. On Friday, John Danks threw seven innings and allowed two runs, including a Cameron Maybin solo home run, but he more than continued the rotation's momentum.
Danks was part of building that, thanks to Friday and the eight scoreless innings he threw last Saturday against the Yankees.
"I know he went through the surgery and everything, but just locating and putting it in a spot that was tough to hit, I think that was as good as he's been," Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "I know he's made some adjustments. He's excited about it, and that's all stuff that goes into it when you start making adjustments."
The Sox also have had to make adjustments, but the rotation has managed to improve. Though that certainly has been helped by Sale, who has thrown nine scoreless innings and struck out 14 since returning from the disabled list, it isn't all on him.
"That number doesn't just go down by one guy," Ventura said. "All of them having to be doing something, so I think the improvements Hector [Noesi] had as well as John's last outing, you're hopeful that continues, that trend."
Sale was supposed to get his chance to continue it Monday against Kershaw in Los Angeles in a duel that was highly anticipated well before the first pitch.
Instead, he'll face San Diego's Eric Stults on Sunday, and Jose Quintana will get Kershaw on Monday.
"I know people would probably like to see that matchup, but we're thinking about it for us and him, getting back out there as quick as you can without rushing him, too," Ventura said. "So this makes sense for us and him, and it has nothing to do with whether it was a [big] matchup and how he was going to pitch in L.A."
NOTES: Robin Ventura said he's "hopeful" Jose Abreu will be able to return Monday and that the first baseman will go through workouts Saturday and Sunday. The workouts, Ventura said, will be some "simulated stuff" that would replace a rehab assignment.
◆ Ronald Belisario got a vote of confidence from Ventura despite blowing his third save in six tries Wednesday night. "Right now, Beli is going to be the guy to do it," Ventura said.
◆ Paul Konerko said he was available to pinch hit Friday. He said his back started bothering him Wednesday, the day after the lengthy Sox-Indians game.
