Q&A for How to Make a Relationship Last

Tell him, in the moment, how much that hurts your feelings. Say something like, "I told that to you in confidence because I wanted your support and now you're trying to make me feel bad about it. It really hurts to know I can't trust you with this information." If he continues to do it, he's intentionally manipulating you and you should leave him.

Make plans to hang out in person. Ask her out on a proper date and take her somewhere nice. Show up with flowers. During the date, ask her about herself to keep the conversation going, and make sure to compliment her on how she looks.

Unless you want to have an open relationship in which he is permitted to date your friend, you should probably just break up with him.

She will start behaving like a wife before she verbalises it. For instance, she may make the bed after you wake up, or fold the clothes for you without you noticing.

Follow the tips in Get Over Someone You Love and avoid the person whenever you can. If you interfere in the relationship, you're the "bad guy" in this situation; it's a very selfish act. Do not confess your feelings to this person, but rather deal with and move past them. If you're already involved with the person, break it off. While married people engaging in affairs frequently tell those with whom they're cheating that they'll leave their spouses to be together, it very rarely happens.

That's up to you. Try to decide if you can still trust him and if you still want to be in this relationship knowing there's always going to be another woman (the baby's mother) and a child in his life. It will be tough, but it's not impossible to make it work if you're both committed to the relationship.

I think it's best to have a conversion with your boyfriend. Ask him why he's ignoring you and tell him what you want from this relationship. Be honest and direct. If he's unable to give you the attention you need, it's probably best to end things now.

Straight up and ask your partner. I went through the same thing and gave him a few days with a deadline. If they don't know how they feel, then the chances are they are not fully committed to the relationship with you.

You have to learn how to love yourself. Self-doubt is common in relationships when you don't believe you're deserving of love. Break the cycle of doubt and fix it from the root, by working on trusting your emotions and yourself.
