Girlfriend Says I Don’t Need Anybody

4 January, 2009

My girlfriend and I have been together 8 years. From about a year ago she started complaining occasionally about me becoming increasingly "self sufficient" these days…too much, in fact. The slightly disturbing thing is, I kind of agree with her and see her point. It’s kind of become a central issue recently, as I started wondering whether I have grown into a person who’s happiest being left alone. And I am not sure I like the thought of being happier when my girlfriend is away–I do want to be with her.

how should i go about this

4 January, 2009

ok so me and this girl that ive only known for about three weeks started having sex. Shes already starting to talk about how she bought me a sick present for my birthday in march. im trying to keep it away from a relationship though since i just got out of a 2 year messed up relationship. what does OT think? should i just try and break away slowly before i get to deep into things? or do i just be a dick keep getting with her until march for my birthday, get the present, then break it off?
You have got to tell her gently that you are not lookigg for a relationship. Since you are having sex she most likely assumed you are an item and will continue to be…and you might possibly be leading her on (whether you realize it or not). Don’t be an asshole and just keep her around for sex or to get a birthday present

new meds

3 January, 2009

switched from geodon to abilify. had been taking the geodon for around 2 years or so 40mg a night and i didn’t feel it was working. i’ve started taking abilify, and i’m still dosing up, started at 2, immediately went to 5mg, last night i upped it to 7 mg. while it’s a very low dose, i already feel much more stable. things finally feel like they are going to work out. i have so much drama in my life, but i just am not letting it get to me. i’m staying positive, and not being constantly depressed. this wasn’t really a "i need help" thread, just want people to stay positive, and be willing to try new things. just so happy to be in a better place.

Girl I dated said I do more things now than I did 2 years ago…

3 January, 2009

It got me thinking, was I really boring and am I really boring when I date someone? I thought about this and when I dated this girl two years ago, I really didn’t spread things out and I wanted to see her every week and all we did was always go out to dinner. No sex, nothing fun and exciting, etc.

So, fast forward to a few years down the line and we are "friends" (with of course, me still trying to pursue things subtly). So we were out the other night and she said to me "You know, you do more things now than you have in the past".

My Online Dating Adventures

3 January, 2009

THIS IS A LONG POST, SO READ IF YOU WANT TO BE ENTERTAINED! CLIFF NOTES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

So, back in September, I decided to give the online dating thing another shot. My reason for this was because, frankly, I was chasing after an ex-gf for 4 months and after I discovered she was dating someone, I needed to get out there and pursue something. I have to admit, the online dating thing has been nothing but horror stories for the most part. So, when I did sign up, I signed up for the following sites:

First love coming back into my life after a year, but I have a gf.

3 January, 2009

Ok, so I have a long story here, but bear with me. About 1 year ago, I broke up with my first love, first long term girlfriend. We were each others firsts and we dated for 2 years. She cheated on me once at the start of our relationship by kissing another guy at a party, but after that she changed and we dated happily for 2 years. Towards the end of our relationship we started getting into lots of fights, and it was a downward spiral of on-again / off-again fights for about 4 months. We broke up and got back together countless times for the last 4 months of our relationship (big red flag I know, but I was jaded and in love). Eventually the fighting got to be too much and we both ended it. We were both miserable for about 6 months after that, with a bit of communication here and there. I rebounded with a few girls, and then started dating again. During this period I occasionally heard from her, and she would tell me she was not dating anyone. Eventually we stopped talking for awhile. I had a few dates here and there, but no one was special. Eventually I found my newest GF, the one I’m with now. She was amazing and basically everything I was looking for. We are happy, until about 2 weeks ago. My ex has recently been calling at least once a day, and I never talk with her. But I called her back once and we met for coffee. She told me she wants to try dating me again and give us another chance. I was shocked and a little confused at this comment. I said I should be going and walked her to her car. Before she left, she tried to kiss me (I avoided it because I have a girlfriend) but ever since that day she has been on my mind. I am conflicted because I really do enjoy my GF now, but she is missing a certain something that my first GF had. The thing that I am scared of is ending things with my current girl (which is going great) and jumping ship to try to start a relationship again with my ex (which failed the first time around) and eventually losing both girls. My ex has told me she has matured alot over this time we have been broken up, but part of me is scared we will just end up fighting and history will repeat itself. Honestly, deep down I dont think I ever got over my ex, as she will always have a piece of me. Part of me wants to end things with my current GF just to give things a try again with the ex, but my brain is telling me that is stupid. I guess I am just venting, but any advice would be welcome. Sorry for the long read

just ranting

2 January, 2009

i hate two faced bitches…..if someone has a fucking problem with me then fucking tell me….none of this going and telling every other fucking person that you know……i seriously wish something would just happen to her that would just get her off the face of the planet…..i hate roommates
Don’t live with her

Care to share what actually happened?
we are college roommates that live in a house together…so as of right now moving out is kind of out of the question….anyway basically the year started out fine….the house that we live in has an upstairs and a downstairs effiecency sort of thing…its basically a quarter of the actual house but for me and my fiance we figured it was better than what we were previously living in….anyway we would basically keep to ourselves our roommate and her kid would be upstairs and we would be downstairs minding our own business….no complaints about anything until christmas break comes….

So i asked a girl out v. second time

2 January, 2009

Ok time to start more drama.

It’s long so buckle up.

Here’s a little background. About 3 months ago I was promoted and was transferred to open a new store as a department manager. During this time was when I met this girl. She was also promoted from another store in the area and was transferred to open the new store. She’s also a department manager but at the front service desk. Let’s call her Emma, cause she looks like Emma Watson.

So anywho, during these past months I’ve only been talking to her here and there. Just blah blah about me having problems with v.1 Girl, work, and such nothing more. Or so I thought. (so yes she knows alittle about my background (other thread))
