Hey guys!
It's been so long since I wrote something here! There is this one new guy (well not actually new, he's been one of my best friends for a long time) that I'm in a relationship with. In the begining, he was crazy about me, he would want to be with ALL THE TIME, because he's been in love with me for a long time but I was crazy about that other, H, guy. Then when I told him that I liked him too and we could be in a relationship, he kind of stopped trying to be a good man for me. He now just wants me in bed, I sleep at his place, everything is lovely, he keeps kissing me all night and telling me how happy he is that I'm here, but then when the morning comes he becomes distant, as if we're just friends again... I know he is that kind of guy who doesn't like showing emotions, and you will never hear him say he loves you, he'd never buy you flowers etc. I know how he is, so I try to give him as much space as he wants, he is going out with friends (even girls) whenever he wants (I can't do it, whenever I go out he's like, can you come back already please I miss you)... He almost never texts me now (before he would text me sooo much). On Valentines day he was out with one of his girl co workers, I of course got mad, but then he texted me so much nice stuff, he was like, you're my only one, I haven't loved anyone as much as I love you (and this is the ONLY time when he said something that nice for me (Oh yeah once after sex he told me he loved me haha but we all know why he said that))...
I understand that right now he is in control, but I'm doing everything to change that and nothing's working.. I love him, but I know that I could have so much more, and this to me doesn't even feel like a real relationship... I don't know what to do guys, could you pleaseee help?
First thing you need to do is empower yourself and not allow men to mistreat you.
They will do whatever they want if they know that it is all acceptable to you so
you need to change that. He's in control of you??? Change that!!! You are not
a doormat for guys to step upon. Read Lanie's books - she has five books now
and she tells you exactly what to do to so that you are in control. Get those
books TODAY!!! You can download them to your iPhone.
I think we train people and the Universe how we want to be treated, we show what we feel like we are worth. If I wanted to spend Valentine's Day with him and instead he was in some other girl's face, it would be made clear that sweet texts from him weren't enough. If he throws a fit when I'm out but takes his sweet time when he's out, then I wouldn't rush back when he starts to text me. and so on
Someone you're in a relationship with goes out with other women? You're adapting yourself for him and giving space and he's just continuing to be nonchalant?
Have you tried having an up-front discussion with him about the things he does that you don't like? If you have, and he isn't considering your feelings, or even trying to change, is he worth it?
I could be reading too much into this, & making it seem worse than it is (if that's the case sorry about that) but this seems so disrespectful.
I suppose you could use the technique and try to have him become more expressive, loving, & stop seeing others? I'd like to know what everyone else thinks as well.
