  • Thread Starter

You hear all the time where a couple break up and they then go get drunk or become very unstable not for a small period of time but for like a year or longer. But why ?

I understand its hard but cant the person understand that depsite what happens its in the past and she/he was never the right one and never will be and move on ?

Sorry for being naive but someone please explain why its so hard ? Go into detail about love ect or even your own experience.....

mum thinks i'm a disappointment :(

  • Thread Starter

I made a thread before about turning 18 and crap my life is, well quick update, its still the same, worse actually but i've come to terms with being an 'adult' and my childish appearance. But recently, actually today, I heard my mum and aunt talking about me. They were comparing their kids (me and my cousin) were both girls.
My mum said how i was a nobody. How i never go out, never call anyone, never bring any friends home - basicly how unpopular i am. And my aunt responded that she'd wish her daughter (my cousin) was like me. She said her daughter is popular always brings a new friend home, always on the phone, always out late and partying. I just sat in my room crying just feeling really **** about myself and depressed. I find my aunt a sick twisted person now and i used to like her but why would you want me as a daugher, really? A social outkast/reject? Yeah right.
But it hurts worst when your parent describes just how much of a looser you are and whats worst is thats exactly how i'd describe myself.
Honestly when i feel like i'm finally accepting my existance in life something always happens which i usually can't ignore and i fall of the path, sigh.
I need to stop caring about what people think of me and get out there and do something, but its hard. I don't want to wait for uni and come to find i'll still be hopeless.

But where and how do i start? Also has this ever happened to anyone? :(

Sorry for the long post but i just had to vent.

Confidence shattered. How do you get 'back on the horse'?

  • Thread Starter

Since breaking up with my ex-boyfriend last year I've liked 2 guys, one after the other. But both of them rejected my advances- The first because he's "commitment phobic" and "didn't have feelings for me other than physical attraction" and the second because he moved to a different country. The second one was particularly bad because I fell really hard for him.

Now I know this wasn't necessarily my fault and it was maybe just bad luck. But part of me now believes that I'll never have any success in the dating/love department ever again. I'm too scared to make a move on someone in the future. Too scared of having my hopes dashed for a third time

At the risk of sounding cocky, I think I'm quite desirable, or at least have the potential to be: I'm not bad looking; blonde, slim, tall. I am nice to people, educated and do interesting things with my life. So (I don't think) that there's something wrong with me, but still my confidence has been shattered. How do you get back on the horse? So tempted just to give up and reside myself to the fact that I'll probably die alone surrounded by 27 pet cats... :/ haha

Is she testing or toying with me?

  • Thread Starter

So this girl and me flirt a lot, she teases me, calls me daft names and generally I think we get along quite well. She deliberatly touches me, I can tell this by the way she does it as if she's been meaning to do it. She also makes a point of getting close when another girl is around? Anyway I have hinted in the past maybe that I like her. Anyway she does show signs that she cares for me, and will always stop whatever she's doing g to talk to me, and I see her glancing at me from time to time, and when we initially first see each other at the start of the day, she can come across as a bit nervous. Anyway the thing is she has a bf, this has only started recently and when she talks about him, she talks about him in a way to almost try and make me jealous? I really don't get this, is she testing me to see my reaction? Or is she playing games? She gives me all these signs and when someone e lse says to her that she likes me, she point blank denies it and goes on to say how 'sorry she is, that she doesn't like me' I'm really confused by her, girls can you think why she's like this? Nuts maybe? Haha

What do you tell the betrayed?

The other day I found out this lady(very kind) who I used to work with just recently found out her hubs had been having affairs for all six years of their marriage. I know what she is going through. I know it's none of my business but I still want to beat the hell out of him. But how can I when I did not beat the hell out of my wife and wanted to? I mean is this a vicarious situation? If it is perhaps I should keep a distance. There are many levels of betrayal and I think mine scrapes the top. There are not many that had their spouse create profiles out on hook-up sites to use as a public image to family and friends for her false justification to leave me. I might easily channel the anger too much. I would like to say something to her but the rage might take over. Be there as a friend or just back away?

Viewpoint on my marriage

If i ever decide to separate from my wife or even divorce, there is no way that i will EVER get married again.

For those of u who are recently married, here is advice. NEVER NEVER NEVER take ur spouse for granted. Ever.
U do not put kids before ur spouse, ever.
U do not put ur parents before ur spouse, ever
U discuss everything, and i mean everything with ur spouse.
U always, always stay mindful of ur marriage and its health.
U and ur spouse should always, and i mean always fullfill at least the 3 most important needs they have.
Always keep this in mind. If u can always find the energy, effort, motivation, and push to maintain a friendship or whatever with others, than u should and can find time and those same efforts for ur spouse.

I have tried giving this to my wife, and she is blind to see the reality of who and what she has in her life (me). She believes in kids first and her parents first and finds time and effort for everyone and everything else and i get the bones if the leftovers. I feel inmense resentment and have also begun growing hatred. People change, yes people do change, but ur mind does not. Ur mind only changes as much as u want it to change. If u repeat to urself everyday why u committed to ur spouse (goes for both husband and wife) u will never to lose the reason why u chose ur spouse.

Just to let everyone in on a secret, a few weeks ago, i was in a very heavy state of depression. My depression had become so bad, because of how my marriage had become and how my wife was acting towards me, that i almost committed suicide, and im not kidding around. I was in the bathroom looking at myself in the mirror with the shower running late at night, and i had a lair of scissors in my hand. The thought was frozen in my head, and everything else had become black. I dont know how, but i fought the temptation to kill myself. This is what can happen when u love ur spouse so deep and just want them to treat u how they did before and they take u for granted. Affairs can happen also, but they are not deadly.

Just to clarify, i dont have mental issues. Im very patient , tolerant, very keen in things, and very easy going, as well as friendly. But my situation caused my emotions to attack me and my heart and my mind.
Sometimes i think, why didnt i do it and leave a note to my wife saying, this is what u taking me for granted caused me to do, i hope u enjoy the rest of ur life without me.

Need help with a girl I like

  • Thread Starter

hey im in this weird predicament and i was wondering if you could help me out, thanks

so i recently joined a new sixth formm and theres about 40 people in the whole year. everyone is basically a faggot and i cant chill with any of them cause their just not my type. but theres this one girl that i just fell for fam. like, i dont even know how but i think i caught feels and **** without even getting to know her. so basically, since i have loads of spare books at home, through talking i found out that she needed some, so me being the gentleman that i am i gave them to her for free. through that i got her number, and we had been texting for a few weeks. then, last thursday was the first time i actually sat down with her and her friend and we just spoke about stuff etc. they were mentioning how good looking (lol) i was and etc and bascically asked if i was a virgin and about past relatinships etc. she said she wasnt a virgin and one day when she wanted to have sex with this guy, he didnt go hard so they couldnt LOOOOOL. anyways i wa s like **** it, so after school i appraoched her and said 'yo, next friday im taking u out for dinner' she said 'oh is that so' i said 'yeah ahah' she said 'aww thanks'. so by that i thought it was yes and i was buzzing fam, cause this was the first time i ever fell for a girl this much and things were going good. so, i always texted her first to start convo's and a few days later over the weekeknd i asked her 'yo what time should we go next friday' long story short, she said that she didnt know what i was talking about, and when i told her about how she said 'aww thanks' and basicaly agreed, she said she cant remmber and it suprises her that she said that. also she said that she could go out for dinner or chill, becasue she is dealing with some guy and they have been texting since january but arent bf/gf. she said she has feelings for him and thats why she cant go out. i was pissed cause she didnt say this when i asked her for dinner but whatever. so after talking to a few friends etc, i decided to cut her off and just ignore her at school. so from monday to friday this week, i have been ignrining her whenever i see her, and she hasnt come to me to ask whats up. so this whole week went by without us saying a word to each other. several times we just walked past each other without saying a word. i dunno man, it dont feel right.
yday, i was chilling in a computer room, and she walked in with her friend and some other guy. it was a circular table
with computer, so all 4 of us were around it, but i was basically alone and those 3 three were talking. i did overhear her friend saying that me and the girl i like would look cute togheter and make a cute couple but i dunno what the girl said since the computer was blocking her face. they mentioned how she was going to a sleepover this weekend and her 'man' might come thru, im guessing to make me jealous but idk. btw the guy shes been dealing with, they been texting since jan and only kissed a few weeks ago for the first time and he's the same guy that didnt go hard when she wanted to have sex . WTF !
anyways i really feel like this is going nowhere and the more i try to ignore her, the more times i end up coming across her. i guess i caught feels and cant get over her.
i wanted to do this today but im thinking i'll do it on monday
im gonna tell her i want to talk. main points i wanna cover is why im not talking to her (i dont wanna be just friends, i want more etc) and how i really like her etc and im not interested in anyone but her. also i feel like saying 'i hope eveything goes good with the guy ur with etc, BUT if u do end up stop seeing him and dealing with him, i would love to take u out etc'
i dunno man, i guess i need more advice. do u think i should say what i want to, i kinda wanna get things off my chest with her, and let her know im still interested but i dont wanna be her freind and the guy thats trapped in the friendzone. i also dont wnnna come across simpy and bitchy so i dunno man. should i say what i want to, or should i just try my best to leave it. off a gut feeling i feel like telling her exactly how i feel but i dunno...
but man i just feel like telling her exactly whats on my mind.

update:

so its been two weeks and we haven't said a word to each other nor texted. i see her everyday at school and we totally ignore each other. e.g if we walk past each other we'll literally make eye contact for a second then look away and keep it moving. one time tho she gave me one of those smiles where u tilt your head and smile but i didnt even bother responding. it was more of a friendly bitchy smile
but recently, she's been talking to this guy in her class and whenever she is talking to him, she'll look at me through the corner of her eye to see if im watching. i guess shes tryna make me jealous or some ****, but why would she do that ?
also one of my friends told me that he was chilling with some girls, talking about who likes who in our year, and they told him that she (the girl i'm into) likes me. i asked him what they told him exactly, and he said they were like 'oh we were in english and we were talking about who we like etc, and apparently she likes him (me).' he also said that they told him that she talks about me in their english class.i fully trust the my friend that told me, but i dunno if it's true from the girls side, especially since the girls that told him, dont really chill with her(the girl im into) and they are never hanging out. however, her bestie is in english too, so maybe she was telling her and they overheard? i dunno man. im trynna find out and hopefully will do by end of the week.

and whenever we come across each other, she just shy's away and kinda looks away on purpose trying to act like she didnt see me and starts either talking to someone. i think she wants me to approach her tbh. i do tend to see her staring at me, and when i face towards her direction she just looks away asap.

i honestly have no idea what to do now. i doubt she will approach me and ask what's up so if anything, it will be me. since were gonna be in the same place for 2 years, it feels weird thinking that we will see each other every day but never talk, you know? from the things i've said, i guess it makes sense to say that she is interested ? but then why would she have said 'sorry i cant go out with you since i'm seeing someone else and i have feelings for him' in the first place? why is she tryna make me jealous and **** if i havent even been talking to her?
i feel like grabbing her by the arm and just talking to her. asking yo what up, why we not talking. should i just tell her why im not engaging with her, (because i dont wanna be in the friendzone since i like her) or nah ? i dont want to come across as someone super desperate but is it ok to let her know im interested but i'm not looking to be that guy that is her bestie. like what should i say exactly ? i wanna let her know i want to get with her but i dont want to come across as salty, or like a simp. just to let her know where i stand. i was thinking something along the lines'
' yo im obvs interested in you, but i cant be that guy that is always gonna be with you but as a best friend, u know? and thats exactly why i havent been talking to you, because it'll just bug me and theres no point'. something along those lines..
i dunno, im just tryna see what you guys think is the best approach to this..

Says she don't like me but ups the ante around other girls?

  • Thread Starter

So this girl, point blank told me she doesn't like me, I was quite taken back by it and was a bit quiet with her for a day or two. Anyway, there's another girl who we both know and I've not hidden the fact that I like this other girl in the past. (The other girl doesn't know though, for various reasons) anyway, after me being a bit quiet with her for a day or two she made quite an effort to get things back to normal. She started calling me by some weird name she has got for me, and teasing me again. In the past she has given me lots of reasons to think she likes me but as I say she point blank told me she doesn't like me. She has a bf (in the past she has said he likes her more than she likes him) and she talks about him in a way that I can only describe that she's trying to get a reaction out of me?
So when the three of us are together she 'ups the ante' with me in front of the other girl, I'll be talking and she will be touching me on the back and generally standing close, to which the other girl says nothing, and then when she leaves the other girl (who in the past I've said I liked) starts to wildly laugh (like ALOT) and one joke I said and to be honest I didn't think was that funny.
In truth I know longer have the feelings I did have for the other girl, and have actually fallen for the girl with the bf. I haven't told her (maybe hinted in the past) but with her saying she doesn't like me I don't see the point, especially as she has a bf...
But why act like this, I'm struggling to work this one out.
?

Cross-country LDR - Can it work?!

  • Thread Starter

Wondering if anyone here has experience of having a very LDR? Thinking about starting one with an American girl i've really fallen for (though we haven't seen each other for a few months) and obviously I don't want to get married or anything like that while I'm still at uni.

Is it worth a try? :$ I guess we could visit each other once/maybe twice a year? :S So difficult.

why don't people want to get married?

  • Thread Starter

In sociology, we were asked to put up our hands if we wanted to get married.
and only 5/20 did.
I found this really shocking and was wondering if this was common amongst young people today.

Do you personally want to get married?
and if not, why?

Very lonely

  • Thread Starter

The titles saids everything about my life at the moment. I don't really have any friends or a bf in fact I've been single for 4 years ( crazy isn't it), I want to change this and I've already made steps at uni and work to try and meet new friends but I've been unsuccessful. I use to think I was fine but I'm not and I'm always alone and doing things on my own and this tends to linger on my mind a lot. I guess I want to meet new friends and go out and have fun (and potential end my long live single life). Any advice? I'm pretty much willing to meet friends on tsr.
