fricking hell. i love this (L)(L)
It's as if I asked that question. I'm actually in that kind of relationship. We're on our 4 months now and as time goes on, the more do I get confused on what I should do. Although I'm happy right now but what I'm not really sure is whether I would be eternally happy if I ended up with him.
Personally, I think about ending the relationship. We have totally different personalities, see, and so are our personal interests and goals in life. We have too much differences than similarities. On the other hand, if I end up our relationship, I think it's too soon. We're still young and we have a lot yet growing up to do. Who knows that after all this, we're really meant for each other? Besides, I want to spend the rest of my life with someone whom I spent years before knowing that he's the person I can't live without.
But sometimes at the end of the day, when I think about why I really love him, I can't think of any sure answer except that because he loves me. And I'm thinking to myself that maybe I'm holding on to this relationship because I'm safe with him and I wouldn't be disappointed when I wanted affection. I'm not really sure. But I like how he makes me laugh though and how he doesn't hover.
Can this possible or just wishful thinking?
WOW! been feeling this way forever... over an ex from 16 years ago that I stay in contact with... I have never been able to get him out of my head and let go... but I know if we ever were to try again it would never end with a happy ending.... just when I convince myself to stop emailling and texting him, bam he pops up out of the blue with some email or text that throws me right back in to wanting him, and not being able to get him out of my head... always wondering if maybe he IS the one that got away... Since I know there would never be a happy ending I have stayed in a blah marriage all these years to someone else, all the while constantly obsessing over the ex... wish I could find a way or the strength to get him out of my head....
gawd reallyyy...same here...i knw he's nt d one for me as he dusnt care bt stillll cnt stop lovig him.....
this is a question ive been asking myself for many years im my relationship!!! i love him so much but he doesnt love me the same way i love him... how do you let go of something you love so much even thou there no good for you??
I am not sure what the answer is for this, but from my exoerience I have been off and on with my boyfriend for 3 years, we don't stay broken up for more than 3 weeks, and that is we talk everyday even though we are broken up, I know i deserve better, but something pulls me back all the time, I have issues with his family, friends , his child's mother..whenever I have a problem i always feel strong enough to walk away but he pulls me back and i go back!! its so sad because you lose everyone, your friends and family because of the person your dating and feels like you have to choose between the person you love though he is not good for you or you make your friends and family happy by not being with him,What do you do????
I had the same experience, I've been in love with one of my guyfriends for years and we did end up going out, but it was an extremely short relationship that left me in tears. He still wanted to be friends with me afterwards and when he finally told me that he didn't like me more then a friend anymore...I still went back to being friends with him. He's put me through torture and pain for months, my friends have warned me multiple times, but I always go back to him. I love him...and I just can't get over him, even when I keep telling myself that I am. It feels like he is the one, even though he doesn't seem to feel the same way about me...
i felt and still feel like this with my ex i think this is y he ended it=[
feelin the same way here... but as they say.. LOVE IS KIND.. LOVE IS PATIENT.. so im still holding ON..
I completely understand. I've been with my boyfriend for several months now, and lately all I've been feeling is hurt and pain. I've given so much up for him - two major things like a university and a really good friend. But all he seems to do is hurt me. I know that he is trying his best not to, and I know that he feels so shitty each and every time he hurts me, but I feel like its not enough. I love him with everything in me. But I don't know what to do anymore .... =/
