I will not be able to get over it and move on to other relationships until my conscious is clear. Yet, I don't want to contact him now that he is clearly dating someone and it would be so horrible to come in between. What should I do? 28 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

THIS. Telling him sorry so YOU can move in just selfish, especially if you hurt him and he still has feelings for you.

Because it is selfish!! SHE hurt HIM. He is obviously trying to move on, is dating someone else. She only wants to apologize so she can feel better herself. I don't believe for a minute that she truly thinks it would be "so horrible to come in between them". That is exactly what she wants to do, if even on a subconscious level. How many times do you hear women say "Just when I started seeing someone new, my evil ex came a-calling"?? And the response is usually - IGNORE him, he just wants to see if he can still get what he no longer has. [ Reply | More

I was you. I ended up writing an apology letter stating not just that i was sorry, but why i did the things i did. This happened with a bf that i was with for four years in high school. I also felt i owed a letter to his parents, who i truly loved like my own. So i wrote letters and about a month later i got a phone call from his mom and dad. They said that of course they forgave me and they were happy i was in touch.. in terms of bf i dont talk to him except maybe once a year on facebook.

Banks don't lend on 5% down these days. You would need mortgage insurance for HUD loan but that does not apply to investment properties. In today's market, properties do not appreciate 30% in two years. If you bought before the bubble burst when credit was easy, then value has actually dropped. Maxing out credit card is not a good indicator for lenders. Too many holes in your story. It may be based on some truths, but likely very exaggerated. [ Reply | More

um--yeah that wasnt' very clear. I meant to say that after freaking out about having to put my kid into first grade (because we tried unsuccessfully to get him into private school) we found a way out of the NYC rules. We moved to a district where the cutoff for kindergarten was oct 1. So he is now in kindergarten and doing well [ Reply | More

[ - ] Anyone switch from bc pills to a diaphragm? How did it go, did you like the switch? Was on bcp for 3 years, went off before ttc, and I'm SHOCKED at how much LESS painful and awful my periods are when I'm off the pill... I never want to go back. Was thinking of diaphragm for when I'm done w/ ttc, baby, etc. 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I used one for awhile bc I hated the pill, but it was honestly a pain in the a**. I think it is fine if you are "planning" sex but sucks when it comes to being spontaneous. That said, if your periods are regular, and you are willing to pay a little attention to your cycle (and it wouldn;t be the end of the world if you ended up pregnant), it isn't so bad to use for the 7-10 days a month around ovulation. That is how used it. [ Reply | More

^^I should clarify it was a pain to use when I was really not wanting to get pregnant and used it all the time - as opposed to when I just used it for ~10 days/month [ Reply | More
