Yea she's trying to make you an orbiter. I'd be cordial but give up any idea of you guys being together. Wait a few months and she becomes a fling again. That's the best scenario.
[–]Spinuchi 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I was almost convinced lastnight after posting this I could flip it on her.. I immediately began hitting up old flings and girls I couldve fucked while i was with her.. And felt like myself again..
Like i didnt have or want an emotional attachment to her.. But I realize im fooling myself i still want her.. Its weirs though i know deep down i dont want a relationship. But I do want to be with her.. Fuck this

Based on how you want her, if she wants to talk about your relationship that’s fine, but definitely do not talk as a couple, not fair to yourself.
But definitely start exercising if you do not already, the benefits it provides to a stressed mind is literally unparalleled. Take some time for you dude, shitty times all round.

I go 6 days a week.. Honestly it is my relief, on top of art.. I immediately began drawing and working on new things after we broke up.. And the gym has been keeping my mind clear.
On top of that I never had results with women until i hit the gym.. Well at least not like i was before I landed her.. Even more motivation for me to keep going
[–]--hundy 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
You are doing well then, relatively speaking, time is the only relief buddy. Keep your head up!
[–]Spinuchi 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Helps that she made the choice for me.. Im mot a relationship type, once I started getting attention from her I decided to date her and keep her on the side while i dated around.. Got locked down quick.
I probably needed this so I can date around more

This sounds like me right now except I broke up with my girl. Plenty of chicks I haven't talked to in a year are hitting me up to hang and going out feels good. Just don't act from a place of lack. It will not help you at all.

Man bro u ain’t alone. I had the same experience with one of my exs. Same exact reason and convo.
[–]Spinuchi 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wack af.. She pulled me in so strong.. She was all over me up until a week ago.. Super emotionally connected. Then out of nowhere says this.. Dowsnt make sense
[–]IamRocksteady 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I would suggest you to start learning about attachment styles. This is something that the seduction community completely overlooks, even though it's paramount to learn it in my opinion. It will open your eyes.

I experienced this twice. The first time it happened to me, I made a promise to myself to never open up again, never show/tell her about my horrors and fears. Worked on myself for 2 years to then meet this new amazing girl. Shy cute and love me to death. She didn't have much experience in relationships before me, so I was her first in everything I felt like a god to her. She kept asking me to open up and I kept changing the subject. Till one day I was having a bad day at work and when I came home, there she was, sitting beautifully on our favourite couch we both bought from IKEA, happy to see me with both of her arms wide open for a hug. I was feeling low and I knew if I went for that hug I might crash, but oh god I needed that hug. We hugged and talked and then we talked more, we had an amazing sex and I slept like baby. I woke up the next morning with a big smile on my face that lasted only for a min max. Something was different, usually her arms and legs are wrapped around me, but not this time. Didn't think much of it, but I could sense that she lost respect for me, I am no longer this man who is as solid as a rock, unshakable like a mountain. So, I started to test the water to check If she still loves me, and that was the beginning of losing it all a week after to have the same discussion you had with you girlfriend.
The thing is, sooner or later we will break down and we will share some of our insecurities. They will keep asking and trying to solve this mystery you've had created. My first relationship lasted 2 years where the second one lasted a year and half.
I admit that me panicking and trying to find out if she still loves me made her lose attraction even more, but I didn't like it, I didn't like how she stopped looking at me the same way. I was no longer the apple of her eyes, just another person that she's with.
I am not sure where I am going with this nor do I have an advice to give. I am just a dude who needed to share something I can't share with anyone in real life, so here I am ranting anonymously.
Yea dude same thing here.. I told her about something she did That bothered me, we had a talk about it and moved on.. The next day something else.came up regarding that same situation.. But i burried it because I didnt want to seem insecure etc.. Then the next 2 days she was exactly how you mentioned.. I could just till something felt off.. She didnt hold me it night like she used too. I went from feeling like the only man In the world in her eyes.. To a burden to be around.
That's when i started the arguement and just let her l Know I felt something was off, and it played into the conversation from the other day.
I have seen this before and it blows my mind how a woman can to from madly in love to almost not emotionall attachment overnight. I opened up to this one because she made me genuinely feel the most love i have ever felt.. I did and once again got shit on.

This is utter bullshit. You are not a robot. If you cannot be vulnerable and have bad / down days and share these with your partner then what is the point.
[–]Spinuchi 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Kinda where im at.. I still want her.. But also fuck that.. Im not allowed to show emotions? Be vulnerable too? Im just expected to be this charming happy funny dude she met 24/7.. God forbid life stresses get too me

You should never have gone down the 'keep trying line' in the first instance, since you showed your real hand, had you gone down the cold blooded line that you always thought it was better for a break at least and see where you are in 3 months, but with the obvious language you have no intention of doing so, would have been much stronger. Full cold blooded all the way. Never get into any discussions about the relationship, that's women's talk, you just nod now and again and ask only the occasional unreactive unemotional question for her emotional whims.
[–]Spinuchi 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Fucked around and got in my emotions.. Oh well
[–]SnooMachines1406 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
lmao it happens to us all, women are just goofy. Like why does acting cold make them want you more it makes no sense, but it works.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
people want what they cant have.
its not fun anymore if they’ve already “won” cuz there’s nothing left to win. time to start playing another game with a more challenging prize.
when we win, most of us don’t need anything else and thats what makes complacency so common imo.
[–]ceezeejay 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s not acting “cold”, it’s being indifferent. Because you’re a mystery to them, and women like suspense and mystery bc it gets their emotions engaged. Think of movies, and how they keep you either on the edge of your seat, or cause any type of emotion, especially horror, romances,or comedy. This is my experience.
People might not remember what you say, but they’ll always remember how you made them feel.
[–]sendindaninja 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I really don't think it has to do with the self deprecating explanation you've given yourself...I do believe in the newly wed phase, but a relationship takes work...it takes two people...to want to contribute to something rather than just say...you weren't who I met before...
People change...with experience...and time...give yourself more credit fam....
[–]Spinuchi 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Facts.. Im trying but cant help but feel like i slipped into being something that was unattractive.. But you are right.. After one petty fight now its over and cant be salvadged even though we both still love each other and have feelings? Fuck that
[–]ProfessorZoom80 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
So what, women always leave. Forget her, ghost and fuck other girls
[–]iiexistenzeii 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Was literally in the same scenarios as you. Difference being I wasn't emotionally strong/mature like you and gave in. Worst time of my life.
Give yourself more credit.. We arent robots we arent all emotionally strong etc.. Only reason i handled this like I did this time, is because ive gone through it before.. And begged, and chased.. And realized how horrible it felt acting that way. Im hurt right now.. I love this girl and never expected to hear someone i love.. Who said they have never loved anyone like me inmeant so much to them etc. To end it and tell me some shit like this
[–]skatinislife446 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
What do you mean got comfortable? Like, you stopped taking her on dates, stopped working out, lost ambition, etc? Or do you mean emotionally?
[–]Spinuchi 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Wmotionally mostly.. And with my work.. I still worked out and took her on dates.. But im a self employed artist. I do graphic design, screen printing and have been making my own clothing. Once i got with her that work was almost non existent
[–]skatinislife446 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Ah, okay, so changed for her. I was just wondering cause I’m guilty myself of letting my purpose fall to the wayside when I get comfortable with a woman.
[–]Spinuchi 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Ya bro.. I got comfortable and thought once she said she loved me that I had won. Lost track of myself emotionally and in my life goals
[–]skatinislife446 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Been there man. As soon as they start showing hard feelings I kick my feet up.
[–]Spinuchi 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
A repeating thing in my life.. Hopefully this was the last kick in my ass to realize that even when i fond someone i cant lose sight of the bigger picture.. Not only because ill benefit from it but it is far more attractive to a partner then someone who drops everything for them
[–]ProfundaBrachii 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Honestly you don’t want someone that doesn’t want you either. Move on bro, a few months after no contact you will feel much better about yourself and work on yourself mentally and physically so you become the best version of yourself!
[–]Spinuchi 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Thats how i feel.. Its not like she was perfect.. But i wanted her.. She chose she didnt want me after twlling me bullshit like "ive never loved someone like you" " it scares me how much i love you" etc...
[–]ProfundaBrachii 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Nothings permanent bro. Only your choices, words and actions stick with you, so chose and do what’s best for you!
[–]brabus4 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
Go no contact and she will be back soon Just say sorry I am only interested in romantic relationship with you. If you don't want to let me know if you change your mind
[–]Spinuchi 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Man.. I feel that.. But also as sad as i am.. As much as i wanted to be with her.. I couldnt go back to her romantically.. This is just going to happen again. She made her decision and she decided im not worth it to her
[–]brabus4 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Don't let it get to you. Many women aren't worth it to me. But that doesn't make them lesser people. They will be worth it to someone else. Same with you. Like I said, don't be a needy bitch, go no contact, work on yourself and she'll either be back or you'll find someone better
Yup.. The first week was tough.. Still miss her, but really feeling better. Im hally with my freedom again. I doubt I would want a relationship with her again because I really deep down know that if she felt like she wanted to be with me then she wouldve tried.. The fact that it was easy for her to breakup over something that couldve been fixed proves that im not worth it in her eyes. When deep down I know im worth way more.
She has tried to be in contact.. Ive just been short and cordial. Its just revolved around me picking up stuff from her place. So its not like we are talking about anything other then arangements to pick up stuff.
[–]brabus4 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Go full no contact. Just say I am only interested in you romantically. Hit me up if you feel like it
