Q: Feelings Towards Previous Relationship [Complicated?]
asked by: DarkPrince on July 26th, 2008

Pre-Write Up: If you don't want to read this, that is okay. I am just here to get some opinions on something, so I wrote down three years of material. Some details may have been lost due to time constraints or just memory fading.

Before I begin I would like to comment that this isn't my usual behavior. I am usually the one who says I am the one who knows what I need to do. But in this case I am just curious about what others think of my situation and possibly any ideas that can be gained.

So first lets start with the background. I started my first relationship in late years of high school. The only situation was I was extremely shy, to the extent of not easily speaking, nor could I even hold hands. So after a while I decided to get more comfortable in the environment, and broke it off with her. Nearly three months later we got back together (she asked me!), and that lasted until (something happened) and we split. I am not quite sure actually, of what happened. All I know is that it was really strange being around each-other, and just wanted to be together. After a month or so we got back together (attempt 3) and this time it lasted 2 years.

Now in order to get an idea of how I feel.. Any time I am around her, even if there is nothing to do and we just sit around, I feel comfortable around her. I feel more at home than at my real home. I am still shy but she has been able to open me up more than anyone has done for me in my entire life. Sounds good doesn't it?

So my time-line is slightly off. I believe the 3rd time of dating happened after she got into college, so before we got back together another guy was introduced. At first I had no issues, I don't have a problem with her being around guys, but that didn't last too long. She started to put his name nearly everywhere, facebook, myspace, aim profile, etc. Even had marked "in relationship" with him. I asked about it and she was just saying it is more of a joke, which I ended up believing because it can fit her personality. I am not the one to believe something just from something not in person, plus I wasn't with her at the time, so I let it pass. Though we got back together at some time and it was nice, we stayed together for nearly half a year but I guess this 'other' guy was still a problem. One evening I received a Pix Message on my phone, it was her and the guy kissing. I freaked, drove all the way to her college to talk (I am not physical at all), but got denied because she had plans already made. Anyways, the weekend afterwords we were able to talk. I tried getting an explanation and all I got was "there was no feelings", "it wasn't what you thought", "I don't have feeling for him". I also asked if it was the only time that they kissed, she said yes. But... I was able to access her facebook (no longer friends, but had a friend who was friends) before-hand, so know I have first-hand proof that she lied. I asked her, and I got "I don't know why I lied". I left, and broke all communication for three months but in those three months it was the only thing I could think about. I could only think about why it had to happen like this, why it couldn't even be a peaceful break-off. After the three months, I cleared up the block-list and such on chat, etc. I knew she noticed that I was viewable again because her away-messages and such changed in attitude (not bad or good, just changed a bit). So after about a week I get an IM of like a paragraph as an appology. I ask to meet up in person to discuss it. I admit my feelings, but no further to try to attempt anything.

So now everything still lies the same. She still has contact with the guy but not as much. I can't say what they are up to but I want to believe everything she as said, more of I can believe it. The issue is all the "I dont know". She has a extremely stressful life, more than a normal person. I am wondering whats actually true or not.

The three months I did have I tried to shake the feelings and memories but that didn't work at all. I still feel the same as when I did three years ago, and still just want to help her out, and make her happy. I heard of Obsessive Relationships, but can something like this be that? I don't want to just be near her, I want to help her, entertain her, make her dinner (lol), etc. Not suffocating her though! I am not that crazy.

These memories of being with her, when recalled, still bring tears to me if I think about it.

Dont worry, Prince. It sounds like you are in love. That's all.

Well, I suppose you need to first start and be clear about WHAT KIND of relationship you want with her. And can you clarify ... were you able to be physical with her at any time?

Not to make myself look bad or anything, but what kind of relationships are there? I understand some are for different intents, etc, but I am actually unaware of all of them. I figure if I knew that much than I could answer. I just don't know how to describe it...


Being physical, assuming your talking about being sexually active with each-other. Yes, after near a year we started to fool around. Anything has been only oral. I am still a virgin. bandana:


Just in case to go on the other side of the spectrum, abusiveness, never ever ever except one case where I grabbed her arm. I was having a bad day and that made it worse. Actually I want to apologize for it again even though it happened almost a year ago. I still feel terrible.


I am on here just to get some new opinions. My friend is staying out of it as he may become objective due to past events and semi-recent events. So I really only have my own thoughts at the moment. Thanks though, its nice to get a new perspective once in a while. Smile

My opinion is that if she kissed a guy AND SENT YOU A PIC OF IT(while you two were dating right?) then shes nooooooot worth it....thats absolutely ridiculous..i'm trying to understand WHY on earth she would even do something like that? I can tell you right now(I've been with my bf for 2 years now) and if I EVER saw him kiss another girl...done...period...bc i'm not going to cheat myself out of a great guy that i could be with..and a guy that truly loves me would never do that to me...bc I know, as much as I love my bf...I dont even want to kiss another guy and i would certainly not send him a picture of it!...it sounds like shes just an attention craver...it does sound like at a point you two were in love, especially you, but you should make it crystal clear that if you two do get back together...for a 4th time..there will be NO games and no other guys bc you dont feel like wasting your time...thats what i'd do anyway...mind games bug me...its such a waste of time

About her sending a pic, it was her friend that did it. Someone got ahold of her phone. As she says at least. But in all, even if the very low chance that i would take a chance, I would be giving much less freedom, I guess. I hate to though..

Sometimes I wish I understood people... :/

What do you mean you wish you understood? I think its pretty clear...she isn't being serious about a relationship right now..if she were she certainly wouldn't risk loosing anything..I know you two have a history and she was your first love and all but...right now I just think the two of you probably need..well..another break i guess(break number 4 now?) I dont know..you dont deserve to be lead on by her and have things not work out..if I were you..since it seems youve been in the relationship on and off for a loooong time I'd just take a break, hang out with the guys go have some fun and if its meant to be then you two will get back together again and hopefully she'll be serious this time
trust me...any girl thats really into you and ready for a commited relationship is not going to go making out with another guy just for the heck of it..even if it "doesn't mean anything".and if she does...then shes not worth your time...

I have to agree. It doesn't sound like she's available right now for a relationship. She sounds ultra-busy. I think that if you move on and grow a little more independent, that's an attractive quality for women. You'd be surprised what can happen!
