My girlfriend hurt me, but did I deserve it?

Post Reply New Topic

So what ended up happening with the prenup agreement? Did you two get married yet?

No, we just put off the marriage and took things slower for now.

She's a hot mess. You keep up with her and your life sure won't be drama-free. Are you desperado? Afraid to be on your own since you've been with her for so long?

Out of curiosity I looked at your past threads.

If this is the girl you want to spend the rest of your life with... have fun.

I think this naturally comes with adulthood after dealing with relationships in general after some time, be it family, friends, dates, etc.

This is why I think a lot of young people may fall into toxic relationships frequently.

This tends to happen in high school and sometimes young adulthood, I notice some young people who are desperate or hopeless romantics might end up having 2-6 relationships in only one year, and there's a 90% chance it'll be a short-lived and toxic one that only ends in heartbreak.

Eventually they learn what a healthy relationship is and start having longer and more successful one's until they get it right.

Some others might also try dating and only deal with all the B.S., the flaking, the deviousness of some men who only wanted sex and end up disappointing a woman who specifically stated she's looking for more, the liars and cheaters, etc. and so comes a point where you become a lot more direct and to-the-point.

"I'm interested in you, and want something genuine and serious. Are you interested in me, and capable of living up to my expectations of you?"

You don't need to go through this to have a healthy relationship though.

Plenty end up taking their time, whether they choose to or not, and end up developing themselves and mature while single, so that when they start dating someone who's done the same, they're both properly ready and prepared for a healthy, long-lasting and successful love.

Both methods get to the same destination, they just go about different ways of getting there.

Personally, while I did pursue girls earlier, the best age to even begin any relationship and gain experience would probably be about age 17-19.

Unless you're exceptionally lucky and a very rare case, anything before that will just be two people who have no idea what they're doing, screwing around and seeing what sticks.

I'd rather be the guy who enters a relationship with someone who knows how to make it work just as much as I would than two foolish teens messing around until the next one comes.

In order to learn, you have to mess around a little.

Op.... So your gf told you it was your fault for her cheating because of what you did first. Cheating is still her choice to make. Does this mean that she is incapable of accepting responsibiity for her actions? When you call her out on her bad behaviour, will she ratinlonalize her bad behaviours away until you accept responsibiity for her?

It sure sounds like this girl doesn't have a whole lot of respect for you if she really wants you to believe that her cheating is your fault.

Well she says she wishes she never done it, and wishes she could take it back, but then she tells me it's my fault, and that my behavior drove her to do that, but she wishes she hadn't.

So I am not sure if she is apologizing, or if I am to blame as well, or what...

She did apologize and first and said she wishes she could take it all back. Later on, I wasn't in the mood to have sex, and was feeling bad about it still, like a couple of weeks later. This is when she said that it was partially my fault at least.

I have to say that for me an apology just doesn't cut it. Their actions mean more. In my opinion, her actions have not been good. It's not like you haven't had plenty of time and plenty of opinions from others about how she has acted toward you. Whatever decision you make, you'll have to reap the consequences.
