I almost want to cheat on the OP based on what a doormat he is. I'm starting to think that this is a joke thread.

Maybe if you're really good, she'll let you watch as she fucks her new boyfriend.

Sounds hot.

 

[Spottty]

Seriously man, dump her now. Doesn't matter how you do it, just do it. Get her out of your life.

Then go find help. You need to sort things out. It's not bad or a social nono. Everyone does it now. It just helps sort out your thoughts instead of dwelling on them.
I should go as well but I found working in my shop helps me out. If you don't have outlet like that, and it sounds like you don't, you need to talk to someone.
Call around, there has to be some place you can go that's subsidized or cheap.

Don't let this eat you up. Your young, you have time to work on yourself, get your thoughts right, then start dating.
Chin up buddy!

 

[Kiarushka]

Screw this!! You are being realistic with your concerns. You know what Chris Rock said about women having male friends...Something to the effect of there are no friends, just some dicks behind glass..Break in case of emergency. She's just keeping them on hold as "friends." It's true and any woman that tells you differently is lying or too dense to know the intentions of her "friends." Or she's just so starved for attention and needs to keep all potential avenues for attention open, that when your mom came down with health problems that's a threat to her and her ability to have your full attention. She'd rather have her own attention needs met than be supportive of you and help you feel comfortable at a difficult time.

You gotta kick her to the curb!

I have primarily male friends and I have absolutely no interest in them aside from a platonic relationship of awesome video game time.

OP, she's trying to keep you as a fallback until something better happens. Or until she gets bored of you, which I have seen happen way too often. Her saying you don't trust her when she goes off somewhere and purposely doesn't include you already speaks volume. She's trying to control you and make sure you don't break up with her.

But do it anyway, you can find someone who will treat you better.

 

[pompidu]

She said I didn't trust her when I brought up concerns about her best friend being the ex and the like... Said I was not trusting in general.

I mean almost all of her guy friends she slept with at some point, and she would still cut their hair and have one on one meetings. She actually cooled off on this considerably after talking to her parents about this and them actually saying I have a point.

One on one with ex lovers and you allowed this? This is fucking sad. End this now and move on with life. You are getting played and you don't even realize it.

 

[Le-mo]

This is just sad OP. I haven't dated in five years and even I know a woman like this just isn't worth your time. Man up and dump her. The method you use won't matter.

 

[Kiarushka]

Maybe if you're really good, she'll let you watch as she fucks her new boyfriend.

I will never understand this fetish.

 

[Partial Gamification]

Read these posts, OP:

My mom is in the hospital for hypercalcaemia and I'm super worried about her.

I told my girlfriend of a year and a half this and she basically showed little empathy and actually went out with her girlfriends that night.

I didn't explicitly tell her she should come over, but I just reverse the roles in my head and I know I would have made it my top priority to see her in person to make sure she was okay and to show my support.

I'm dismayed, sad, and angry, and I'm not sure how to properly react.

She's super apologetic, but it feels forced, as she threw in a "sorry I'm not you" line.

I don't know what to do anymore... If my mom is not okay I'm going to be so devastated, and I don't want to feel alone.

I'm 26, she's 29.

My mom is 64

Isn't "my mom is in the hospital" enough?

Are you sure this is an overreaction? I mean she understands a lot of specifics about my relationship with my mom and how it relates to my relatively bad relationship with my dad... I mean deep personal stuff that only she knows

Shouldn't she know me at this point to know that saying "sorry to hear that, but girls night!" really fucking sucks?

With rather intricate detail actually, and she knows I'm pretty sensitive about it.

I'm reading through the replies guys, and I understand the points on both sides and think they're both valid.



As for this, the problem presented in that thread was mostly rectified, but that dude still makes me super uncomfortable. I think that's more on me though.

This actually relates a bit to this current situation; and is an astute observation.

I will say, and this is a semi-cop out and I say this knowing full well that the ball is firmly in my court when it comes to my existence, that much of this indecisiveness comes from a lack of teaching from my dad, and my pretty recent "transformation".

To elaborate, two years ago I lost a ton of weight and got on Prozac... I went from somebody who could barely talk to a human to something I would consider pretty close to normal. So a lot of things do actually feel very new to me.

Edit: Also seeing the multitude of opinions presented actually helps me become more well rounded. I don't just toss these threads out there without a lot of thought... I'm genuinely confused about life sometimes.

Couple things real quick before I go back to visit my mom:

1. She isn't that girl in the lip pump video; I only posted that video as a demonstration of the ridiculousness of the product.

2. Yes she knows my mom, and they have talked many times. They follow each other on Facebook, if that has any significance.

Edit: I mean she's been over for holidays and the like...

She came over and was crying saying how much she was sorry.

I can't break up with her because I'd feel so awful... Just thinking about it makes me depressed. Believe it or not there is some good to this relationship.

I know it's not going to work in the long term deep down... I'm always confused about everything, as that one post pointed out by looking through my topic history.

It's funny she said it wasn't right how I was guilting her.

I feel like I paint a bad picture of her... She actually is a sweet person. I think she's just a little self-centered sometimes.

I can't explain it. Sometimes I wish she would post her own response to these threads.

This could be new thread worthy but she's at Disneyland today with the same friends.

She was signed in for free by somebody who works there... I asked why I wasn't invited and she said, "oh she can only sign in three people."

For the record there are other boyfriends there... This wasn't a girls-only thing.

Also I picked up my mom today and she's okay. Turns out that even though 90% of the cases of hypercalcaemia are due to malignant tumors, you can also get it through an overdose of vitamin D3.

She's still super weak and a little out of it, but I'm just glad it wasn't cancer.

She was taking around 10k too.

They said her D levels were around 120k.

Again, I am glad you mom made it out of the hospital okay; what does she think of this lady?

No... I can't bring myself to do it.

She's not as bad as she appears in these threads I assure you... Or maybe I really am a pussy. I can't figure it out.

It's more that the threads distill the worst parts of the relationship, and that posting the good parts isn't exactly worth talking about as they're not something I'm confused over, you know?

I do think it's lopsided and it's definitely not going to work long term for numerous reasons, but I guess I am scared I won't find another person.

I don't want to end this thread the same way I did the last one, but I am giving thought to ending the relationship.

Spineless is not an adjective I want to my name.

I'm not a character... I'm just new to a lot of things, especially for my age.

I'm seeing her tomorrow, so we'll see what happens.

Haha, I actually do have a group of friends.

One of things that sparked this thread was when I told my friend about my mom and he immediately said, "You need anything duder?"

She's at class right now.

Why the troll accusations?

The duder thing is an in-joke and it mostly stems from Dave from Giant Bomb...

The post you're quoting is referring to the other guy who was in a similar situation. I'm not quite that bad.

The stuff going through my head: Maybe it's me? Maybe she's not so bad? Maybe I won't find somebody else? That kind of stuff...

I assure you I'm reading everything and taking it to heart. It's difficult to reply to everyone in a meaningful way when I have other things going on (such as taking care of my mom, who is home now and getting a lot better).

I know what I have to do; I'm seeing her tomorrow most likely. I'm scared I'm going to wuss out if she tries to be intimate or whatever, but I'm going to try to keep my shit together.

I do live with my mom... I started very late on this whole life thing.

Like I said earlier I was crippled by social anxiety and depression for a very long time. Prozac saved my life.

Just a heads up, probably no updates on what I decide for a little bit.

I ended up not seeing her today since my brother wanted to meet up for his birthday.

Probably won't see her until Thursday or Friday because of school.

This is absolutely going to sound like a joke post now, but she actually broke up with me through a text at one point in our relationship. I cried and begged her to take me back...

I don't particularly like myself...

She said I didn't trust her when I brought up concerns about her best friend being the ex and the like... Said I was not trusting in general.

I mean almost all of her guy friends she slept with at some point, and she would still cut their hair and have one on one meetings. She actually cooled off on this considerably after talking to her parents about this and them actually saying I have a point.

You need some confidence, quit dragging your damned feet and step up or step out of the relationship. You need a hobby or a craft where you are making something. This lady is not treating you right. Not knowing you, I don't think that this is a healthy relationship. You want more than she seems willing to give and you are young, breaking up will not be the end of the World. What do you want? To not be alone and end-up in some loveless marriage after she gets pregnant and your kids get raised under the umbrella of your resentment? This is obviously a cry for help laced with pangs of lacked attention. Motherfucker, you are doing this to yourself and I hope your next post is: "I broke up with her" or "we are going to take a break" or "hi, I'm his girlfriend (via your account) let me tell you my side of the story."

 

[Xzeon]

i might have come off as joking or being a dick when i said you need a lot of therapy, well, im serious.

im in therapy myself, and i think you need some too.

your self esteem is in the toilet.

and if a dude was sleeping with all his female 'friends' he would be a whore too.

She's been cheating on you this entire time. Your dick has been mixing juices with the dicks of those other men.

Oh wait...it hasn't! I wonder which is the worse scenario...

 

[IISANDERII]

With such an incomplete picture, i can only imagine the OP is not even telling us the worst of it.

OP i just hope you're not giving her money/paying her rent/vacations/car.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Break up with her through a text and try not to undo it.

[mooooose]

Where do you live OP? We can hang out if you live on LI or in NYC. You're not alone and you'll find someone better. She's not horrible but she's definitely not good for someone like you. You don't have to break up with her, but you need to stop simping.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Stay with her no matter what.

 

[akira28]

OP i just hope you're not giving her money/paying her rent/vacations/car.

If he was a good boyfriend, he would have been doing all of those things.

 

[LycanXIII]

If he was a good boyfriend, he would have been doing all of those things.

Well, maybe we finally have the reason for her actions.

Also, it's Thursday, anyone think he actually talked to her?

 

[Twilight Princess]

you seem like an extremely needy person, and your girlfriend isn't particular sensitive to needy people or people in general.

 

[Xzeon]

Well, maybe we finally have the reason for her actions.

no.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

I have an interview at In N Out and I'm supposed to see her afterward.

It's going to be tricky because I'm likely going to be in a really good mood.

You shouldn't be in a good mood, you're a fucking doormat. It's pathetic.

I like this post. Effective.

She treats you like shit: "I can't break up with her because I have no confidence."

Something good happens to you: "I can't break up with her because I feel too good!"

Whatever, man.

 

[Petrie]

I like this post. Effective.

At this point I'm hoping to OP is a joke poster, because I can't believe anyone is this sad.

Are you fucking kidding me?
How long until OP catches a bunch of dudes running a train on her and he still doesn't break up?

 

[Petrie]

Are you fucking kidding me?

C'mon, he might have a sweet job at In n Out, his g/f is getting dick from all over the place.

Life is too sweet.

 

[JohnDoe]

C'mon, he might have a sweet job at In n Out, his g/f is getting dick from all over the place.

So his gf has a job at In N Out too?

 

[PaulExcellent]

Dude. No.
Stop.
No.

If you will be in a really good mood, it would be perfect to leave her.
How could you feel worse? You should feel good that you got something going on for you.
Hell, a job in this economy is tough to find. Be happy. Forget her. Get some food, watch a movie, play a game, celebrate!

Don't suck so much.

 

[Petrie]

So his gf has a job at In N Out too?

How did I not see the obvious pun there. I'm losing it in my old age.

 

[Lyude77]

Hm...I'm not sure if I would have asked if they wanted me to come over. I would have asked if they were alright, at least, and asked "Are you sure?" if they said yes. Well...maybe I would have asked if I could do anything, but I'm glad I read this thread so that I definitely will ask the former if it happens.

More on topic, OP, you should break up with her. Being single is much better than being with a selfish person forever, even if you don't like being alone. You have friends. Also...you probably should consider therapy, or at least talk to a friend who is good at that sort of thing (i.e. not GAF...or your girlfriend).

We don't actually know if he has any friends (at least good ones). He's never brought any up and seems to dodge statements implying he should hang out with them more.

That's what I get for only reading the first few pages and the summary of his posts. Thanks.

Well, I guess he should go for a therapist if In N Out works out.

The OP makes a lot more sense now. She doesn't want to be with you. Its time to move on. You made a mistake guilting her into taking you back. I still don't get why she is the villain in all this (at least what some posts seem to imply).

 

[Xzeon]

youll be in a good mood because you MIGHT get a job at a fast food restaurant?

i mean, getting a job is great and all, but you should be angry/upset/nervous/sad/anxious over having to have a really serious conversation with your girlfriend.

so your not gonna break up because youre too happy about flipping burgers for a living.

im done.

 

[Lyude77]

Breaking up over text isn't exactly good behavior. I generally agree with you though.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

For those who don't know, In N Out isn't a McJob as much as you would think. Starting is 10 an hour, and DM's get 150k.

Plus I'm going to school and just looking for a part time job while I work on getting a degree. My point is this shouldn't be a reason to look down on somebody.

I didn't get the job anyway due to a tiny tattoo I have, so it's a non-issue.

Also my mom is complaining that she has insane cramps and is refusing to go back to the hospital, so this girlfriend stuff is a lower priority.

Edit: I specifically mentioned I had a group of friends in a post in this thread. I'm not some weird basement dweller... I have changed immensely in my life and am pretty social now.

 

[Ammish]

Just please... stop posting. Each new post you make seriously breaks my heart.

Nothing people do surprises me anymore.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

How does my last reply show any kind of density?

I'm very self aware... It's how I've improved so much in the first place.

I did go to therapy and fix nearly everything about my life. My first girlfriend ever treats me poorly and I'm finding out how to deal with it, and I WILL deal with it.

 

[LiK]

Sorry, but this is one of those cases where I'd have to end it with a chick if she can't be considered enough to COMFORT me when my own mother is in the fucking hospital.

Fuck her.

My heart breaks even further. It's doing a better job than my relationship issues and there's a chance my relationship of six years can end. I just...

Okay looking down on ANY employment in this age is completely fucked... Especially for a full time student.

 

[Petrie]

You're missing the point here. You're saying you're going to be in a great mood and have trouble breaking up with her because you might have gotten a fast food job. It just sounds like more goddamn excuses. With how she has acted, she doesn't deserve some lengthy talk. Tell her it's over and walk away. This will take 30 seconds and then you can focus your time on your mother and finding employment, instead of being sidetracked by this worthless relationship.

I'd like to believe you, but I don't. You've given no indication that you're mentally prepared to deal with it. All you seem to have are excuses. It takes 30 seconds to break up by text. I think even in her weakened state, your mom can spare 30 seconds.

Your girlfriend is going to end up breaking up with you whenever she decides to get serious with one of the dudes she is fucking currently. And then you're going to look back at this thread and wish you had done what we all knew you should have done. You're going to kick yourself for being such a chump, and then you're going to learn that it's not a good idea to ignore good advice.

I'm really glad to hear that you've improved your life considerably, and I wish you continued success in that. But you're really too old to be acting like this.

I don't mean to come off as a dick, because I'm honestly rooting for you. We all are. But I really don't think you have the balls to do what you know you need to do. I'd love nothing more than for you to prove us wrong.

 

[Stet]

Gee, this fellow seems to have low self-esteem. How can we help? Let's berate him incessantly and tell him exactly how much we look down on him!

 

[Jezabel]

Honestly at this point I reckon she could come over with jizz on her lips and you'd find a excuse to stay with her

 

[SouthernDragon]

OP, you are already alone. Leave her.

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

I didn't get the whole thread. Op was upset,rightfully. Gf tried to break up but he wanted her back even though she sick a for him. Now he wants to break up again but cant?

You just got to go for it man. I finally broke up after 2 years with my ex for the same reasons as you are thinking. We were NOT compatible but she was my first gf and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. But once I finally did. I felt great. Still do about that decision.
