Dude. You are up for some trickle truth. She has either already fucked him or is strongly working on doing so, maybe even branchswinging.
The moment she asked you for a "break", you should have ended it. She essentially kicked you to the curb and that always without exception means that you end it. It does not get much more disrespectful than that.
Sorry, pal.
[–]StbRPG0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Why end it? Just demote her to plate status and keep that pussy at bay.
[–]_the_shape_11 points12 points13 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Because that's next-level player shit that I highly doubt OP is even remotely prepared for (no offense to him). The fact that he's seeking advice through this post alone is a testament to that.
Maybe he can pull that off down the line once he can laugh to himself because he knows from experience how these sorts of scenarios play out, but for now, he should ditch her entirely, move on, and go no-contact forever.
[–]shotcallerro0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Are you saying that he can't do it (demote her and keep her as plate) because of th oneitis or what?
[–]_the_shape_0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
His post clearly suggests that he's in the dark about what's going on. Two, yes, there is a considerable amount of emotional-attachment evident in his post (understandable - it's his girlfriend), and combined with his apparent lack of experience in these matters, he cannot just "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right" on some controller to 'unlock' her relationship status and turn her into a plate.
Maybe if he devours the sidebar, internalizes the theory, and implements it, he'll be able to do that sort of thing with ease anywhere from a year to a few years down the line, but not now.

The disrespect here is too much. Dont keep someone like that in your life.
[–]Endorsed Contributorvandaalen2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah. Because he sounds absolutely like the guy who could do that.
[–]Reformed651 point 9 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Or if you're feisty, say yes to the temp breakup, then on the last day before the girl comes back, tell her you found a better girl and you'd like to break up with her permanently.
[–]HappyMealLover-4 points 9 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Well, she asked if there's the possibility, she didn't ask for it. We were angry with each other. She stopped the attempts of her coworker. They don't work on the same time shift. I have yet to ask her if he's still after her.
[–]Scheme0034 points35 points36 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Sorry to hear this. It looks as if you have been cheated on already. The gut reaction is very telling. The subconscious is linked to our stomach. So when you get the gut reaction it's the subconscious telling your body that something is not right. Her saying I love you more is a sign that she feels guilty. This is what happened:
Meets work guy. They want to bang each other. She wants to break up to fuck him but have you as option if she doesn't like him. She fucks him. She tells you she loves you more. You get gut reaction. You know this is how it went down. Cut her loose.
[–]Throwawaysteve1234568 points9 points10 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Hate to say it, but this is the most likely. I like how you said "it looks like" instead of the typical TRP response of "she's banging him 100%, I was there".
[–]All_Ads_Deceive20 points21 points22 points 9 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
If a girl asks for a break or open relationship, you ended it immediately. No exceptions. It means she already has or plans on fucking someone(s)
[–]empatheticapathetic4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I don't know if I have a fragile level of self esteem but the moment someone fucks with me like that (where it isn't an obvious joke), I will end our relationship no questions asked. Friendship, relationship, family, whatever.
[–]All_Ads_Deceive0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Doesn't have anything to do with self esteem. A woman wouldnt say shit like that to a guy she respected or valued. She might as well just call him a "cuck, faggot pussy" by asking for a temporary break
[–]modashi 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
This. This is a big hell no that I've experienced in my own dating life. OP should tell her if she wants to go see other people, she should do so. But being someone's layaway stepping stool? No thanks. It says "I want to explore potential mates and keep you as a backup" loud and clear. Hypergamy. Plain and simple. My suggestion for OP would be hard next. Don't even plate if you have the chance. 3.5 billion vaginas in the world. Doesn't have to be that one.
[–]All_Ads_Deceive0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yes, a lot of people say "demote to plate" when an LTR disrespects you in a major way. However, anyone with dignity and abundance would hard next a disrespectful ho.
You are the prize. Disrespectful bitches don't deserve this D.
[–]modashi 0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yes, that's a great way to think about it. Why take that shit? Even if she's a 9, if you don't show any attachment whatsoever, she'll probably hamster back into your arms and then you can be the guy who dumped a 9. It's a good feeling. Talk about social proof.
[–]ReddJive13 points14 points15 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You’re instincts are there for a reason. If you have that feeling in your gut. You’re about to be kicked in the nuts
[–]thepitman13 points 9 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Your gut feeling is right. She fucked that dude, it's obvious.
Think for a second, why would she say she wants to "breakup" for a week?
Have some self respect and don't become a bitch.
You should have dumped her the second she finished that sentence. She's already gone brah
[–]BlackMisc11 points12 points13 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
break it off. shes rode some1 elses cock

congrats. youve just witnessed awalt first hand. if you cant stand being with her anymore or it no longer feels "right", just leave.

Ive been cheated on my last 4 relarionships. AWALT
[–]raisins3142 4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Women think until they have a ring that they are entitled to try for the best deal possible. That includes trying other dudes out to see if the branch will stay while they swing. Once they get the ring, they just come up with other excuses to cheat, like the guy not working enough or working too hard and not being attentive enough.
[–]exemptme4 points5 points6 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
With my kind of track record, ill never marry. Everytime it happens they send me heartbreak/crying emojis due to being stricken with greif and regret. Im one of those alpha body beta mind types, so im a real catch. One's strongest weapon is ghosting followed by moving on. AWALT

They act like it just happened out of the blue, like running over someone's bike, and now they are just beside themselves...
[–]_the_shape_5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
From experience, once a relationship goes sour the way you're describing, the worst thing you can do is fight until the very bitter end in hope of saving it. The mental suffering is simply not worth it.
Perhaps the last hurdle is the drive to mate-guard and keep her from this shadowy figure lurking in the dark? Don't give into this trap - that's how you hold onto something that will drive you to the brink of lunacy, maybe all the way over the edge even and into the abyss.
If you end it now, you likely will still suffer some, but sticking around is guaranteed torture; terminating it is the beginning of your freedom. Rest assure that many of us have been in your shoes. Happens to the best of us. Go with your gut on this one - the odds are very high it's actually onto something, not that you're paranoid or freaking out over something non-existent. Her telling you that she loves you and suddenly is considering a baby out of nowhere, paired with talk of a possible break and this guy from her job, are very revealing signs that something's amiss.
[–]Cunt_Robber0 points1 point2 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Knowing when and how to let go of women is something i painfully learned through multiple experiences. It takes experience to realize when a relationship has run its course and its time to let go. So many layers of feelings can cloud that realization. But taking a "week break" should help make things clear: it's over.
[–]FlyingSexistPig5 points6 points7 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
"Let's take a break for a week" means "There's this guy I'm going to fuck, and I don't want you to break up with me over it."
She fucked him, and now you're fucked if you stay. The relationship is over. Go lift.
[–]raisins3142 3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She wanted to break up to try fucking other people, she's talking about some guy at work, and you are wondering whether or not this is all innocent.
It's not innocent. And you know this. Your gut is screaming "Buehler, are you a fucking retard??".
[–]GreenPiller3 points4 points5 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Break up as soon as possible.

Before that, we had a discussion, and she asked me if there's the possibility of kind of breaking up for one week, and during this week we can fuck whoever we want

I Agree with both of you. If he can plate her, do so, but more likely there will be a lot of feelings and ghosting/blocking will have to be done. I went through the "lets take a break/let's open the relationship" with my last ex. That never ends well for the relationship.
OP. The gut feeling. Trust it. 1.5 years is a long time for a young couple's relationship, but it sounds like it has run its course. It's time to move on. Look forward to personal growth following the breakup!
[–]empatheticapathetic2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think you should take the break and fuck the dude before she does.
[–]TryhardPantiesON2 points3 points4 points 9 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Always follow your gut.
I agree with you and i too thinkit is time to jump off the boat.
[–]primo_pastafarian3 points 9 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Trust your gut - she has no respect for you. If you respect yourself, you need to end it with her and start fucking other girls.

I've been cheated on countless times, it's what led me to trp. They get closer emotionally when they cheat, the fact that she wanted a break to be able to fuck her co-worker is a huge red flag. I would have beat the dude's ass, personally, but then again I probably wouldn't be in a relationship in the first place. You owe no one an explanation if you choose to break up with someone, not even the person you dumped. Get out before a year and a half turns into 3.

"Honey you know that coworker I told you about? Yeah we were out drinking and dancing together and it was getting late so I crashed at his place but it was a small apartment had like only one bed so we ended up sleeping together, but we were a little tipsy so his dick slipped inside my vagoo by accident and it got big and stuck inside so he pushed it in and out trying to get it out and when he got it out there was this warm, sticky liquid dripping off inside me, but I didnt enjoy it and it was kinda an accident and I love you and we had broken up with you anyway so it doesn't count as cheating. Yours is bigger anyway, like, possibly. I love you sooooo much and want to have your baby <3 <3 <3"
