A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Dear all, Please help!!I split up with my BF and we did not see each other for three months. Anyway,we did see each other last week and he was very lovng towards me. He works nights now, and said' I can;t see yu in the evenings, but can see you during the day' and I said' well, I have to work, and he said' Ok, when when you have some time off? and I said, ok, we;ll sort something out'. Anyway, I thought that meant he wanted us to get back together? so I texted him a couple of days later, just saying 'Hi' and stuff, and he did not text back, so I texted again , asking him what the matter was? and he still did not respond . So, I sent him an email the next day saying I am sick of him ignoring my texts and calls, and that if it is going to be like that again, he is not serious, and let's leave it!! Now, I texted him after I had sent it, saying I had sent him an email. He had not read it as yet, and called me from his workplace in the evening. I went nuts, and told him I feel he has been playing me, and has not respect for me, Which I do feel, and that is why we split in the first place, as he wanted things his own way, and would respond or text only when HE wanted too, but I always loved him and miseed him and was prepared to give him a last chance last week. He said' I didn;t get one of your texts ( He was lying for sure, as I sent two, and he said he had been tired, and I said .'What, too tired to text back? and told him I felt he was disrespecting me agin, and he said he does respect me. Anyway, I told him he had been doing this for months and to read the email when he got home. The email was straight and to the point, and I told him I cna;t go back to seeing him when he wnats and for him to start ignoring again, as it hurts too much and since he is not serious, what;s the point? He has answered the email, and I know there is a chance , judging on his previous behaviour, that he will text me in around two weeks, asking how I am, as if nothing has happend - eveytime I have backed off and gone, he calls, and it drives me nuts as it is confusing, but I do have strong feelings for this guy!! This has been going on for around 8 months, and he always always comes back to me, or vice versa, so there must be something there, and it;s not for sex. I am confused, as what he said before he left seemed as though he wanted to get back together? but then his actions did not match up. Eg: not answering my texts again. PLease advise. Thanks. L xx

A female reader, anonymous, writes (30 January 2011):

Emotionally he is not the person for you. He is too laid back. The fact that you split up before and now you find his signals confusing, all add up to a relationship out of balance. Multiple texts and emails do not help, he just pulls away more - feeling pursed. You either have to change tact for him and back off and go with his style of doing things. Or find someone in tune with you, and the latter probably being the better option.

Abella agony auntHe is way too casual. And his empathy is non-existent. It must be just so hard when you still have feelings for you. He is still taking you for granted.

Time to delete his number (so that you cannot initiate any text) and his email (so you cannot initiate an email)

When he sends a 'hi' message that offers you nothing. It more just checking how responsive you are to his attention.

And you certainly should not be sending follow up messages asking why he did not respond. That is way too eager.

And only respond to a message he sends to you, if he actually invites you out for a

meal or a coffee. And provides a day, a time and a place for this outing.

Make him put some effort in, if he wants to show you respect.

When you make him think you are a 'certainty' for hos affections then he will slacken off.

If he still shows no respect then review your needs and what you require in a man. Then start searching for that man.

Life is too short to mark time.

Best wishes, Abella
