I think that sounds healthy, and it sounds like you're approaching it with a good attitude.

It sounds to me like things are going well generally, and I'm glad.


I hope you're right.

new update. she is now seriously considering going to grad school in boston, where she will be close to her cousin. she's also going to move out of her apartment next semester and move into our friend Chrissy's place, which is alot more difficult for me reach and for her to reach me, and would make having a place to stay overnight after FNM almost impossible... in all honesty, I can't say I'm thrilled about either of these things, but I am trying not to say so to her...

why does this have to be so hard?

All I can tell you is that I understand. I don't know what to suggest.


and now, it's completely over between us, for absolute certain.

we aren't going to be sharing beds anymore. good call, really. she says there is no future for us, so she thinks it was obvious for both of us, and from the beginning. we're not ever getting back together.

she's even developing an attraction to somebody else I know from school. they aren't gonna get together, leastways that's what they both say. too soon, and they just need friends. he broke up with his girlfriend around the same time she dumped me. they stayed up till 4 the other night cuddling and talking. the romance and intimacy she used to have for me, she has for him instead now.

so yeh. I'm hurt. I'm jealous. I'm torn between being angry at myself, and wanting to punch hunter. and I insist that all of that is irrational.

Star says that "she knew I'd say that". that I'd call my emotions irrational even when they are valid. and I told her that how expected or valid they are doesn't make them any more rational. I don't have grounds to be angry at him. he didn't do anything wrong. she and him each deserve to have friends, be comforted, do what they want in life. I don't own her.

I ended up saying some mean things to her... accused her of me just being a fling to her.

I dunno anymore. I'm just not ok.

When a relationship ends you can not hang on to the hope of it fixing itself as soon as you manage to change one aspect of what was wrong prior to the end of the relationship. Many things need to change in order for someone who has given it all to want to try again.

Example A and B have been in an unhealthy relationship for almost two years.
They break up becauae its just too much. Person B says that they will get a job thinking that Person A will go back out with them.

Person A meets Person B
Person B is in school part time
Person A is in school full time and dedicated
Person B always goofing off
Person A always busy with school
Time passes
Person A and B fall for one another
Person A is driven towards finishing school
Person B quits school isnt working
Person A starts missing school to spend time with person B
Person A does best to accept person B and support financially and emotionally
Person B refuses to work
Person A needs to focus on school and isnt given time to do so
Person A begins to spend less time so person B finds others to talk too
Person A stays loyal and focused on school and person B
Time passes
Person B when Person A goes home for school breaks wanders
Person A is monogamous
Person B is not
Person A can not handle this leaves Person B
Person B decides fine I will go get a job
Person A says that is not enough

I left out many details obviously.
In my course of life coaching things are not this cut and dry. However sometimes they can be. One change isnt going to fix things. That is quite obvious.

I presented this case here because this kind of stuff happens alot to a lot of people. Its very stressful. Person A is looking for other peoples opinions. Person A would like to know what others would do.

When you love some one how long to you wait for changes during a relationship and after?
How much do you handle?
How many chances do you give someone?
How much forgiveness?
How many mistakes?

How would you have handled this?

It is a shame people I care about suffer. It is a shame people I do not know suffer. We are human we make mistakes. If we share our knowledge and our mistakes perhaps we would not make the same ones others have made. Who knows. Food for thought.

However if you have some time please give advice for person A.

I do not have all the answers. I am not a teenager. I am not always right. I am still learning the ways of the world. There is always so much to learn and do and see.

Blessings and light folks!


commenter A
Person a isn't in love with person b. Person B is a piece if s**t who doesn't care for anyone but themselves. Tell person a to walk away and go after what they want instead of wasting their life chasing something that only exists in their head. Just my 2 cents.


commenter B
Yeah person B sounds all too familiar to me.. Screw person B.


commenter A
Lol tell me how you really feel...


backstabber
Person A believes they were in love with Person B. Also believes still is in love with Person B. I am not here to say who loves who. Not my job description. My job is to help people move forward not backwards. Hence why post was made so when client is seen again post can be shown and client can understand that it is possible that client is delusional. Or that was lead to believe something or blinded by love or by thought processes. ... remember right now I am NOT THE BEST JUDGE to be giving advice on this particular notion ya know! LOL and again i am not relationship dr. I am not a dr at all. ROFL. but yeah i agree with you both this is a crock of s**t and Person A needs to RUN THE HELL AWAY!!!!!!!!


me
GO ******** DAMNIT [name removed]!!! this ISN"T you're business to be telling to other people!! you think I wouldn't see this!? and you clearly don't know what's going on in the relationship!!!


commenter A
At least she kept names out of it and kept it vague....


me
THAT'S NOT THE POINT!!


commenter A
Sure it is. No one fking knew who was involved until you pitched a b***h and made yourself known...just sayin.


me
the point is, 1.) it isn't her place to be talking about our breakup publicly. 2.) she has spread mistaken information publicly. 3.) she just basically stabbed me in the back. THAT is the point.

let me make it clear. I haven't cheated on anybody. I don't behave like I own "person A". I haven't tried to stop her from leaving, not once. I have sought work even last year. I had a job for a while. I haven't stopped looking for an income ONCE since BEFORE I was with her. am I delusional? maybe. I had myself fooled until last night that all she needed was time and independence and we'd be back together. I saw a compatibility that she didn't see anymore. I wanted to make whatever changes were necessary to win back her love and romance. and here I am, being painted as some sort of selfish abusive child, who cheats and demands and takes and takes and never gives.

and it isn't Chrissy's business to be talking about this breakup.
