Dear Sugar,
My old boyfriend from five years ago and I began speaking again a year ago, after both of us got out of really unhealthy relationships. At the time he was living across the country, but we developed a relationship and he decided to move back. At first our relationship was a dream.

Just because a relationship ends, doesn’t mean that your feelings suddenly come to a screeching halt too. In fact, sometimes without that person in your life, your feelings can grow, and you can be left with the longing to try things over again. Certainly I’ve seen many couples try to give their relationship another go, but not all are successful.

When things ended with your ex a few months back, you were devastated. He was the one who wanted to break up because he said he was feeling uncertain about the future. Prior to his confession, things had been great, and you thought you might end up with him in the long run.

There have been some Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams
sightings lately and the rumor mill is working overtime to figure out if they are back together or not, but you might be glad to know that the rumors are true —
they are back on!! They seem to be the Hollywood couple everyone was rooting for, but what took them so long to reignite their flame? In my opinion, following your heart shouldn't be that difficult — you either know or you don't, right? Have you ever had to give getting back together with an old love such thought?

Even if you've never heard the word "fakeup," you've surely witnessed them or maybe even participated in one. Though the fakeup comes in many forms, it's most easily defined as a fake breakup or a breakup that doesn't take.
Some couples are repeat fakeup offenders — you know the people I'm talking about.

Dear Sugar,
I am one of your male readers and have been having a problem for a while now and need some help. About five months ago my (now ex) girlfriend and I broke up. It was initiated by me after a fight when I said that I needed some time alone to think.

Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend of 13 months recently broke up with me. He told me that he has commitment issues and doesn't want to be in a "tumultuous relationship." I was under the impression that we had a pretty good thing going — of course we fought, but doesn't every couple?
I know how much you all love our

Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend of two and a half years broke up with me almost three months ago. I was devastated and completely broken-hearted, but I realized that by breaking up with me, he actually saved my life. I had been slowly falling into a deep
depression over the last four months of our relationship and denied every bit of it to myself.

Dear Sugar,
I met this amazing guy a year and a half ago. We hit it off right away and started dating exclusively. After about a year, we had our first real fight.
