    Thank guys,
    Sorry if I am super sensative right now. How can I tell her I need a months break when I can't even get a day? My family thinks I am crazy. They thought I finally found someone "Normal", and now this!

    You sound insecure with yourself... why do you care what your family thinks? I know they are related but you should be proud of who you are and your actions! And you previously stated that your girlfriend manipulated you... NO ONE can make anybody do or think something by force so don't use that as an excuse. Hears what woman love... A MAN... get yourself together and face her with the truth, it is the best thing for the BOTH of you.

    You don't have to tell anyone any thing except your mother -tell her to marry your g/f and have a happy life! Then go fishing or "bear hunting in the Alaskan wilderness and leave enough food for the FISH -3MONTHS should do it!! :cool:

    Just ball up and do it.
    It is just like when you take a band-aid off you do it all at once not a little bit at a time.

    Heyy

    Although I was not the one who did the breaking up, my boyfriend left me like 2 months ago. We were together 2 years. I loved him a lot... at first I could not understand how he could do it... he broke my heart... but now, as I am healing I realized that he needed to improve himself- and I was holding him back from doing that in his eyes. It will hurt her- but you deserve to be happy- if she's draining you- you need to say goodbye- it will hurt, you will be lonely sometimes ( trust me), but if its what you need to better yourself then do it- life is too short to be unhappy and to live with what ifs. Breaking up is not an easy thing, and there is no fairy tale break up. You just need to get up the courage and do it for yourself- be truthful, and do this for you... my boyfriend told me when he was breaking up with me that he felt that I held him back and that he was unhappy- and you know what? I knew it but I just didn't accept it- what I'm getting at is, please don't drag this out- you will only hurt this girl in the end. Goodluck and I hope this helped- u can message me anytime if you want to talk.

    Don't stop those therapy sessions. You still need at least a good twenty hours to work on your fear.

    You need not only to get away from her, but (sorry to say) you need to get away from your family. Have they always tried to control your life? They must really be bored with their own lives to want to take control over yours.

    If you get antsy sitting alone, visit friends, make a few phone calls, or go somewhere that does not remind you of her.

    You really need to ween yourself off her and start wanting to be alone with yourself. This is your main issue, so find out why and 'fix' it.

    Good luck, and please keep us posted.

    You might have a lot to offer others, but check out what you offer yourself - if you don't like that, then you need to learn to be your own best friend.

    Hey Guys,
    Update... I was doing real good. I got strong and didn't answer her calls/texts etc. then WHAM! I had a crappy day, gave in, and we talked. One thing lead to the next and we ended up in bed. I told her I cared about her but, I didn't want a committed relationship with her.
    She basically gave me a ultimatum and said " I was a typical guy", why buy the cow if I can get the milk for free". She said she wanted me to move in and if I didn't we were done.
    I know I made a mistake by sleeping with her again. I got weak. It sucked. She totally degraded me buy saying some crappy things to me. She still has my key, my clothes and some other stuff. I'm so done. Why did I go back. I am so pissed.

    We all make mistakes and we all have to lay in the bed that we make. The important thing is that you've realised that you did make a mistake and now you have to figure out a way to fix it. Fixing, meaning you need to get your posesions back. You need to at least set up a time to come and get your things from her house. She has given you the ultimatum and you know where you stand now. I would "make an appointment" to get your stuff back and be done with it.

    Learning precisely where oneself is a part of a particular problem always comes at a price and always feels bad initially - everyone eventually gets to experience this one, if they are lucky! There is nothing worse than self anger. But here is the prize in this cracker jack box... you are learning the lesson and won't have to learn it again (unless of course you want to, LOL). And that really is worth something! And kudos for you too for learning it! It may even be worth not getting some clothes back; they are replacable after all, should it come to that.

    At least NOW I hope you know it's over with her. Keep that in your head.

    I really don't like the ultimatums, bad things she said... sounds controlling.

    End it. No more contact.

    I promise you 1000% in few months some great will come along. Work on yourself now and figure out why you were so weak.

    Wow, so you messed up, huh? Welcome to the human race. We've all messed up one relationship or another, and gained something along the way.

    There is nothing wrong with being human, being lonely, and angry at yourself. That shows that you know you did wrong, will probably never do that again, but you had to in order to gain the experience that stays with you for life.

    And yes, since she did give you an ultimatum, stick to it, get your stuff and then get out.

    On your way to the next relationship, make a pitstop alone at home and review what you've been through and what you've learned. This will probably deter you from rushing into another 'trap'.

    Until you know yourself better and set goals for yourself you'll continuously be a 'crash-dummy' on life's road. So, please, stop and reflect.

    All the best,


    Think, was one night of sex that satisfying? If so, check out which 'head' of yours is in control of your life.

    I've messed up many relationships... or she has... it's best in everyone of them we did not get married or what ever. YOU HAVE TO WANT O WORK AT IT. BOTH PARTIES HAVE TO BE READY AND WANT TO WORK AT IT. IT DOESN'T COME EASY AS PEOPLE THINK. Believe me. It takes time to fall in REAL love. It takes time - people don't get that. You have to be willing to listen to them!!

    Falling in lust or smitten or infatuation isn't love... never was... 3 months into a relationship- isn't love... real love takes 6 months or a year. You have to be willing to give into your partners weird quirks, up brings, ways, communication etc. - or it won't work.

    There are lots of nice people in the world but it doesn't mean you want to marry them all. There was nothing in your initial post that told me why you would want to be with this woman, only why you wouldn't. Not only will her children never go away, nor should they, but neither will her smothering or neediness. You think it's bad now, try being married to that. Relationships with smothering, needy, clingy people don't work, ever, and that's not going to change in 6 months or 6 years. She is not the one for you and until you put your ex in the past where she belongs, no one is.

    My girl was with a friend of hers after about 3 weeks of being single. We were together for 4.5 years. They have been together for about 3-4 months now.

    Also I know of another relationship I heard about that the guy left, got with the girl and last I heard they have been together for over 5 years.

    Rebound is also not usually for the dumper, but rather for the person being dumped. Incidentally why I refuse to get into any real relationship for a while, I want to be sure.

    Why does it hurt so bad?
    Hi everyone,
    Long time... Wanted to check in.
    Here's my question. If you know someone is not good for you. If you know you don't want to ever live with them, if you know you have no future with them, if you know their toxic, co-dependent, jealous, clingy and messy, If you know that you can do better, why does it still hurt to break up with them?
    I was still lingering in this relationship and I knew I was not happy. My needs were not being met. She didn't understand my recovery process from alcohol and every time I stepped out to "take care" of myself, she took it as I didn't want to be with her. I explained that it's not like I'm going to a strip joint with my friends, or out partying, I was just "taking care of myself".
    I tried to explain that I have to put my recovery first. She just wanted me with her 24/7. Didn't want me to have friends or a life outside of the relationship. Demanded specific NIGHTS that I would be with her. She was really demanding and controlling. So, I ended it, but my question is why does it hurt so bad when I know it wan't good for me?
    I know when one door closes another one opens. But, it still hurts.
    Thanks ahead of time for the advise.
    Hope this get easier...

    Time will heal, don't worry :)

    It also seems that you have emotional issues of yourself to deal with, and momentarily you are probably mixing this emotions up.

    When did u break with up with her? Recently?
