Comment by Nicole Forrester on May 13, 2011 at 1:32pm: Sorry to hear that you are struggling ... It seems you may be worried that if you do let him go .. you might not find a man that is right for you... especially since NOW he is trying so hard . But listen to your heart !! I am a Certiifed Life and Relationship coach and I spend my days helping people fix their relationships and marriages.... and nothing is harder to hear than " I was not even sure when I married you ... but I did not know how to say goodbye. " No matter how much it hurts him now to hear it .. it will hurt even more after another month or year , inwhich he thinks you really love him .. So if you really care for him and for yourself ... find the words .. Just say " I care to much about you to keep holding you back ... I am not the one for you and you are not the one for me and we are only delaying the inevitable"

Good Luck... and I am happy to try and help .. if you need it

Comment by Lauren Koch on April 12, 2011 at 9:46am: HELP!

The man I have been with for the past some years wants to FINALLY be committed... but he was too late. And once I said goodbye, he is NOW being a sweetheart and communicating like a normal person. The truth is... He is not what I want.. He isnt even close. I don't want a man in my life at this point. Being my own best friend is hard enough! He has been trying really hard now and I just cant find it in me to say no. I mean.. it could work if I forced it, but I dont want that. I just don't know how to deal with this. Please help!

Comment by Molly B on March 15, 2011 at 3:44pm: I think most men want what we want - love, companionship, compassion, excitement and understanding. Patience too. I think men and women process things differently and patience and communication are very important when this occurs. Younger men may just want to chase women, but I think the older we get, the more men begin to settle down and attempt to be the mature individuals we wish them to be. Or at least that's what I'm thinking today. Tomorrow, it could be a different story. Men. They need the nurturing only we can give them.

Comment by Doll on January 28, 2011 at 5:58pm: I don't know what men really want and truefully I don't have time to figure them out. When Im in a relationship, I naturally do the nurturing. A relationship is a second job with some men. And Ive learned to start thinking how they think in some areas and this has helped me out tremendously emotionally....Life goes on, men.

Comment by Tina Morrison on January 13, 2011 at 9:26am: I would like to know what men really want.

Comment by Ugenia M. Burkett on January 11, 2011 at 10:15pm: If there is in anyone interested in discussing what men really want, send me a message. I'm writting a book on the topic, I spent 13 years in the United States Army as the only female in a all male combat heavy engr bn. I know the secrets and I think once once more ladies figure them out they can be more empowered in their relationships and friendships. Much love Genia
