Go through his stuff :p

Oh wait...you already did that?

Get rid of all his stuff that you don't like.

That should make the next few weeks exciting :D

I am sitting here laughing my ass off at all the people who don't realize you're a guy....

Four weeks until my GF and I part ways until the end of July. She can't stop saying how much she's gonna miss me... I can't stop thinking about how nice it'll be to not have to reciprocate 20 "I love you's" every day. :p I just want to sit around in my underwear and play video games damnit!

And wouldn't you know it, she walked into my office right as I was typing this up. :p

God, having a girl who actually loves you sure is a burden, huh? :roll:

Well, faithfulness aside, when you don't see the relationsihp as being long term (say parting ways when I get my BS) and you think she'd just about kill herself if you left her... ya, it can be kind of a burden.

why would you lead her on then? the time you're "together" is still viewed by her as time where she is becoming more and more emotionally attached.

do you really think you're being fair to her?

Yes, you are seriously anus whipped. I'm curious what this "extended period of time" amounts to? 2 days, a week, a month. Thats pretty much the most important piece of information and you didn't even include it.

If its 2 days, seek help
If its a week, its understandable but you'll survive
If its a month, then your concern's are understandable.

That'll put a whole different spin on your weekend.

I may be dodgy, but I am not a transvestite.

You do have to admit that a mini skirt allows for easy backdoor access. :) Think of it as a small kilt, if that makes you feel better.

I thought you were male? Are you gay? :/ :confused:

In any case, I do agree with those who say this is a totally unhealthy relationship. You should never accept that to be a normal relationship. Let me just say two things:
1. If you're so emotionally and mentally dependent upon your bf because he's controlling, then get out of it now!
2. If it's simply because you're that way, then you've got issues to deal with. Find some independence. Go out to the gym.... Go out to the grocery store even.... Go anywhere but the ghetto or bad places and meet people. Find hobbies. I'm sure your bf would appreciate someone who gives him space.

thats sad, you should have a life outside your SO. Your SO should not be the only thing you have to make you happy.

but if you are happy being sad then more power to you.

You really do not knwo enough to know whether there is a serious codependency inherent in this relationship.

Well, you're right, but that doesn't matter. All it takes is one established dependency. Whether or not it's co-dependency doesn't change the fact that it's unhealthy! Maybe you could tell me of one situation where it's healthy? I mean, they would be leeching off each other, but I really don't see how it would help either. The only part I would have to take back is that he would appreciate the space, supposing he's co-dependent. Unhealthy, needless to say!

My wife takes the kids to visit her family for a week every year.

Dear Lord, do I EVER cherish that time! I love my wife and kids deeply, but I look forward to that week sooooooo much. There's just so much you can do when they're not around (I'm talking about constructive things, you pervs)...most of my landscaping projects, computer-related projects, kitchen projects, etc. were done during that time.
