For example, your boyfriend says that he is coming back to meet you and you left because you forgot. The message conveyed here is that the meeting was not so important that you forgot to wait on him. However if this is not a usual thing, then we can make room here for a slip of the mind. Evaluate for yourself if it was a loving act to forget the dude&#8230;he got hurt so much so that he went to the object that reflect best his rejection: cold, hard and metal.<\/p>\n<p>Your friendship with any other persons though should not be an issue. In such a case, if he decides to dwell on that, then there is nothing that you can do to make him understand that you love him. You have a right to friendships with persons of both sexes. This is just an insecurity that he has to deal with. Do not ever isolate yourself from good, wholesome relationships just to please another person.<\/p>\n<p>If there is anything that I want you to go with, is to show love, show care, show compassion. When you create that arena where you know you are loving your man to the utmost, it is really then up to him to embrace that love. If he makes it by-pass him because he is so caught up in the &#8220;naughties&#8221;, then he will just be wasting his time.<\/p>\n<p>At least you would have known that you did your best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a problem?
