The OcUK Relationship Counselling and Hugs Thread

Always nice to see a positive post on here for a change :) - good luck with the change, it sounds like you are going in the right direction!

cheers. I suppose the problem was, and is for most people here, that you get in that mindset everything is bad. if I stay with the person I will be miserable, but if I leave it will tear my heart apart. and its a tough decision which option is worse. then when you make that decision, whichever way, you kinda get worn down and feel like 'well this is it for me now'. I went to a concert, on my own, which made me have to talk to strangers to pass the time. this was easier than I thought, and surprisingly, they seemed to like me, without me having to pretend I was someone im not.
I think this has been my issue, for the last 3 years or so I have been someone im not to keep everyone happy. now im me and I think it suits me more.
 
ill just have to went out here.. a week or so ago i well WE ended our relationship after 23 months

now she was a bit of a control freak, drama queen, shouting, complaining, calling names and basically wanted everything done her way or we get into an argument.. sadly i am not really the kind of guy that you can push around and tell what to do so this resulted into a lot of arguments and in around 6months of this bs it made our relationship a hell i had enough of it and so did she

so we ended it and that was it she was screaming how much she wanted it to end and how she can't see her self with me in the future and all that.. so i said ok this is it :) i suggested we stay friends after all we had great time together when we were out we knew each other inside out and always had good chats and days out so i did not see this as a problem she didn't either..

now it ended mainly because of my EX whom i had on facebook for quite sometime now and i haven't meet her for 5 or so years now and we dont chat we don't interact at all tbh.. untill the week before end when i liked one of her pictures - it wasn't a picture of her or any other girl it was just a poster on the wall :/ so she jumped on me with her sicko jelously and started saying how i should go and "f" her and blahblahblah.. basically she went mental and she asked me to remove her of facebook or she will end it now.. obviously i didn't and argued my way thorough this as i can't see any reason not to like, interact or be friends with my EX

so then we ended it all and she comes back texting me everyday shouting at me saying how ignorant i am for not caring about her how she now understands what bad things she did and what she said and all that :) i kept saying this is it you ended the relationship you know how seriously i take this and i don't see my self going "its over its all good again" in a day and i don't see this happening since i couldn't make her happy she was complaining about me everyday and because of this i wasn't happy either..

now she continued this for the week saying how sorry she is how she loves me and how she wants me back but i didn't i can't i just dont see any feature with a girl like her and i can't be controled by another person its either equal in my eyes or over so it came to the last day(yesterday) she was going on holidays for a week and i just wished her a nice flight and good holidays.. to which she said "i have tried to get you back you dont want to you pretend to not care and soon you will want me back but then it will be my "game" and i will be the player so we will play by my rules and your chances will be low i wont talk with you anymore and i dont want to know you anymore if i could i would punch you in the face" to which i responded "yes i will miss you and i will need you true but this is normal we been together for nearly 2 years and i need to get over you and i will" she only sent me a text when she got there..

now i don't pretend to be an angel of a guy my self but looking from the side she is very problematic compared to me she wants a lot from me and 80% of the time the things she wants are unrealistic and unfair for me... so what do you lot think? should i feel bad for not giving her another chance or not?

obviously this is on for me to decide and i have decided that i can't stay with her or get back together as i simply wasn't happy with her :/ i always felt pressurized to things, to act in certain way when with her and so on and in my eyes i should be my self and not someone else or try to be someone she likes when im not that person inside.
 
Tomorrow is the day, the day I end it with a girl I know is head over heels with me. Wants kids, to move in ect ect. And it's only 8 months into the relationship. I feel nothing for her and don't want to drag it on any further.

Oh, did I mention she works for the same company? SMALL company? Going to be very awkward.
 
Feeling bad for not giving her another chance is going to be natural. I assume you've love(d) her and we always want to forgive those we hold dear.

I would just walk away from that though, it seems like a completely immature relationship that will only continue the way it's always been.

I hope she isn't your boss!

You did the right thing. Leave and never look back.

already feeling better and more "my self"

funny how a person can literally go from "Best" to "worst" when you get to know them better.. its as if they stop trying ?! :confused:
 
All women are bat **** crazy, it just to what degree seems important!!!

My ex is trying to guilt me into staying in the family home, doesn't want to get back together but wants me to stick around to make things financially easier for "both of us" and it would but it will drive me crazy even more!

We have at least agreed to go to a relationship counsellor, help us both deal with the break up and to see if there is some small chance it can be salvaged, if not then I guess it will help us both move on, either way I may have found a room via house share so am hoping that pans out too!
 
Disaster! Well sort of.. So not long after I left my family & friends to work in London I fell for this girl in the company (we both started at the same time). We really enjoyed a good walk down the river & told one of my work mates I thought she was cute. Alas he then went & told half the dept & she found out. I cut to the chase & told her I was interested etc but she took me to a small park & in the nicest possible way said i had got it all wrong, friends only etc.

I then met this other girl 6 months later but I sent a text to the chick asking if I ever stood a chance but she said the same friends only, REALLY enjoys my company but nothing more.

Cut to over a year later & we’re REALLY great friends but after she went to a house party (she doesn’t normally do that kind of stuff) someone obviously said “yeah yeah, he totally likes you” & it was clear she wanted to ask me but put it off for a month or two. Maybe she thought we could give it a try but I honestly didn’t think she was interested & told myself to get over it.

On Monday she asked if people could still be friends after a relationship fails & I said yes. I was driving home after the England match & honestly thought she was making conversation when she asked if WE could be friend's if it didn’t work out, I said yes. She dropped this right outside her house as I was pulling up & I was really tired so didn’t know what to think.

Told her we should talk the next day & I went to her house. It was obviously a little awkward at first because she had no idea if I actually liked her or not, bearing in mind this was a year later.

We kissed but she is a terrible kisser on a scale I have never seen, it was that bad but I soon went home because it was late & we were still ‘feeling’ things out.
Cut to tonight & we kissed again but it was clear it wasn’t working & felt forced. Honestly never struggled kissing a girl like that before, took me by total surprise as the last chick, well the kissing came natural. After watching a movie she asked what we were going to do but after she said ‘no’ to my question, ‘did you feel anything when you kissed me’ we went straight back to being great friends again, talking about random stuff etc…was fantastic.

So it’s one of those situations I guess. I was pining for her for soo long but maybe we left it too long or maybe we just thought we were great friends so why couldn’t we take it to the next level?

Glad we did it so I can get serious about dating again.
 
Malteasers seriously the best post breakup food source.

Finally, I am useful for something!

After reading all the 6 pages, why not share my experience :)

I'm 17, soon to be 18, and was with a girl when I was 15. It was all right for like 6 months, and it became very frustrating, so we split up. She came back and I stupidly accepted her. 3 months later, and the same happened.

She went to 6th form (like 2 months after we started going out) and she met these friends who (I think) are good people, but they kind of cut themselves off. They were a group of 4, and 2 of them (gf + 1) did everything together. Heck, she even cut off from friends that she had been with for 10+ years. Not totally, but from talking on the phone various times a week, to seeing each other 1 a month.

Obviously, she zoned me out too. I used to hardly see her 1 a week. She just decided to fake she became a study freak (when really, she used to spend a lot of time watching series like Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill). During the week she had to study, on a Saturday she used to study + go to her friend's house, and Sunday, MAYBE, I used to see her 2 hours. MAYBE that is, If I was lucky.

And even then, her mind was on anything except me.

The break up was great though. She had a friend who I was close-ish too (one that had been friends with her for over 10 years) and this girl is a bit jealous of everyone. That night I had to go out with the gf, and was telling this girl (who is supposedly jealous) that I am expecting an excuse any time now. Didn't even finish the sentence, that I get a text with an excuse. We were going to watch a film, and magically, her friend (the one she is always with) was going to be at the same film! I mean, she obviously was going to stay with me yes :o:confused: So I tell this girl (the jealous one) that I'm getting annoyed etc. and then i head home, messaging them both. I wanted to message this girl that I see that it has ended, but I find it hard to break up, but since I was messaging quickly, I sent it to my gf!!

Gf was ****ed because she had told me more than once that she thinks this girl is jealous (and I do think she is pretty :o) and didn't want me to confide in her. She broke up with me (well really, I went ton facebook and she changed relationship status. WHAT A WAY TO BREAK UP!!!!) with pretty much no reason at all. I sent her a few messages saying she was treating me badly (come on, 2 hours per week max, when you live like 20 mins away, and you create excuses not to see/talk to me) and that her friend totally changed her. Some harsh words were said from my behalf in relation to her friend (who i didn't hate, but hated how the gf kinds idolised her and stuff) only to get to know that she is right near her, and reading all the messages I am sending :confused:. Wow, you can keep stuff a bit secret eh!

Never spoke face to face since. She spoke to me on facebook a few times, mainly being the curious **** she is, asking if I passed my exams. On my birthday, she sent me a message AND a facebook wall post!

Around mid-January, I went to a concert with friends, and she was there. Now there was this corridor type thing, and I was at the end speaking to my friends, and she passed with her 'godly' friend. Her friend (who i wouldn't blame if she was offended by what i said) said a quick 'bye' and kept on walking, but she said nothing :D Needless to say, we have never spoke since, not even through PC. Didn't bother sending her anything for birthday, not even facebook wall post. I did send one to her brother, and 2 friends (who have birthday in the same month :D:D:D)

Now she went abroad with a few people. ironically, these people are people she used to tell me she didn't like :confused: But they are her 'god's' friend so she just goes with it. Its actually funny when you know what she used to say :D:D I was going to post on her album something along the lines of "Did you not tell me you absolutely hate these people? or are you that much of a suck up" but I felt its a bit too much :P

Still close with that jealous friend of hers. And yeah, she is still pretty. And no I am not going to 'smash her back doors in' at all thank you very much :o:D

Now, apparently, she got fatter than before.

This was like over a year ago now (that we broke up. She just came from the holiday now). I am not actively searching, as I am fine as I am, but I am sure that if I find somebody nice, I will try.

Sorry for the poorly written essay! I'm tired, but I wanted to contribute!

EDIT: WOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH So long. Longer than I thought. I could elaborate much more, as I left a few points out. But you do get the general idea. It normally takes me liek 30 mins to expalin how it all went down, so writing it is a bit hard :p
 
My longterm girlfriend stopped using Facebook like 2-3 months ago. Have to say - a huge relief. Have had so many problems in the past with guys adding her and trying to chat her up, facebook stalking her etc. I trust her emphatically but I really can see how certain people use these social networks to creep their way into other's lives in a consequence-free environment. She has a completely high-functioning social life without a need for social networks anyway, so more power to her! Most importantly, I think she is happier for not using it as well. Quite unusual for a university-age person though.

Just wait, if she starts getting protective of her phone then you will see another red flag........
