Oh she’s already there Hyroler. Apparently she doesn’t want the ex to move on—she wants him to “contemplate” whatever that’s supposed to mean. So basically she broke up with him to manipulate him into changing completely for her rather than meeting him in the middle through compromise. So now...

And of course I walk downstairs at 1am today and find her on the front porch with some other guy...I’m done.

I’m so glad I decided to log in here tonight. I’ve felt like a horrible failure as a parent the last day and a half... Unfortunately after a short span of “good days” where it seemed my daughter and her boyfriend were working things out, she suddenly did a 180 again and broke up with him for...

Thank goodness for this forum because I don’t have a clue where else to turn for some peace of mind. I’ve read through hundreds of your posts tonight and they’ve helped me to put things into perspective, so thank you to all of you. My story is a bit complicated, so I hope you won’t mind a bit...
