Relationship Help Forum: Love's Sudden Death

This is another addition to our relationship help forum true stories. All personal and identifiable details have been edited. You can find some more true stories on the Relationship Help Forum page.

Help, Anne!

I met a guy, Dave, in college. Before we met, I didn’t believe in love at first sight. But as soon as I saw him, I knew he was something special. No, it wasn’t a physical attraction, as he is not my ideal type, but it was something else. We started dating immediately and it wasn’t long before he said 'I Love You', and I was happy to repeat those words back. We had several happy months together and talked about getting married.

Relationship forum: working with an ex

Dear Anne, I would love to follow these steps. My relationship is a little different though. I have to work with my ex. I have to see him every day and hear him talk about all the fun things he is doing. While I go back and sit miserably alone at home. I find myself praying for the weekends to arrive quickly so I can have a couple of days of not having to hear or see him. But all I want to do is call him and hang out with him.
