    Hi Olabisi I think lots of people (both men and women) have “been Mick” at one time or another-I hope you found the ideas here useful smile

    How can you take steps to fix a broken relationship even when it seems as if the love has faded and there is no support or good communication that enables love and understanding? How do you talk to someone who now views you in a way that leaves them with their guard up and every response sounds very judging or self protecting. you ask for support and your partner says that you are asking them to fix everything.. or that they are just not good at these things. Like emotional support for example.. does that not sound like an excuse to not have to put in effort. If every concern about the relationship comes off as a personal attack instead of showing interest to fix something that doesn’t feel good. How do you start to forgive and let go of all these pains to even want to try when you see they don’t. Do you walk away? Find another blank slated start until both hearts will show love though continuous efforts…why always the push and pull..how can you ever just have a balance with out the push and pull effect? When pain is experienced how do you resolve it in a way in which future resentment won’t re occur or damage self esteem in the relationship? How important is sexual attraction and does a guy truly love you if they always expect you to look hot so that they feel like being physical? I don’t understand why love makes people crazy and yet there is suppose to be no pain in love..is that realistic? I have so many questions and little answers. Please help!
