I've been dating a girl for about two months now and I feel like I'm in between.

Let me explain.

If you have a GF you have a certain level of commitment.

  • You don't cheat
  • You don't pass numbers to strangers or flirt shamelessly
  • You're respectful of whatever boundaries you set
  • The boundaries may be different for people, but they're there
  • Above all else there's a certain level of commitment

If you have a fuck buddy things are very different.

  • You don't care who they hang out with
  • You don't care who they sleep with
  • They do as they please
  • The relationship is sexual, there's no commitment

And there's the problem so many people face today, in between.

All the bad things about a friend with benefits and a GF. No real commitment but no cheating or sleeping around.

I couldn't quite put my finger on what was wrong with my new GF. But we're somewhere in between.

No one's cheating or sleeping around but there's no real commitment.

I'm going to have a talk with her next time we're together and give her an ultimatum. Friends with benefits, GF, or practically strangers(I don't even want to be a friend on facebook).

In the past I would have accepted this situation and just went with the flow.

But if someone isn't treating you like you would like to be treated you need to tell them to change it or end the relationship.

Part of this epiphany was due to this sub, thanks.
