She's not committed to you, and even seems somewhat ok with you going out with the new girl, given that she's got her own thing going on. Write her off or you will get hurt. It may feel bad now, but this new girl will make it feel a lot better before too long.

I'm going to have to just go ahead and agree here... uh, yeee-ahhhh.... :)

Seriously, though - it sucks breaking up after a long relationship, but, if she's acting like this, and wanting to "break", then, I'd say it's time to search for some greener pastures... which, conveniently, you already happen to have! Take it slow, have fun, and let go of the old baggage.

Good luck :)

i thought they already broke up.

we're on a "break". I'm waiting for her to call and i'll probably get it over with tonight. But if she doesn't call soon, i'm gonna hit the sack and take care of it tomorrow.

I think you should break it off with your "gf," but my words and .50 will buy you a cheap soda. Deep down you know what to do.

ouch, that sucks.....I would say to try to forget what's going on and just get on with your life. My first girlfriend and I ended on a horrible note, but I still cared for her, and thus told her to go and do what would make her happy. And thus, she went out with a guy from work in the same week that we called it quits.......and they're still going out 2.5 years later. I know how it feels man, and there isn't much you can do about it, other than just moving on and realizing that other girls can give you everything (and more) that your last girl did. :)

BTW, by Western you mean WMU? I think i remember you mentioning that you're attending UM in the fall, but I'm not quite sure. If that's the truth, you deserve better, and she'll be in AA. :)

I'm using my theory alot on the forum tonight... it's like this man:

just over 50% of the earths population is female... don't waste time with one that is giving you a hard time


You haven't entered the world of manliness yet you don't have your pills yet... so do yourself a favor... grow some balls and ditch her.

Hah pretty much the same store here, except she was married a year later to that guy.....wonder if she had been seeing him on the side........

we talked on the phone 10 mins ago and after she quit crying, it appears the "don't ask, don't tell policy" is at her convenience. If she asks me something, i have to tell her. But if i ask her something, then it appears it's none of my business.

consequently, i was in a 7th grade mood tonight, so i asked her exactly what the founding rules for a "break" (not to be confused with a break-up) were:

(first 3...more to be added at her conveniece, i guess)
1) If you date, you can stay at their house, but you can't sleep next to them.
2) you can't tell them anything about our relationship.
**3) cannot have all or none** She ommitted this rule in spite of it being her "free advice to me"

Those were MY rules for the break. She asked what hers were and i told her she didn't have any. She then asked why, and i told her if her morals are so low that she'd do something she'd feel guilty about behind my back, then it'd be on her conscience. She then started the waterworks again and questioned why i'm being such an ass.

Oiii...i dunno. She hung up on me after i gave her the choice to end it now. She never decided. We basically summed up over the phone that we weren't right for each other and near incompatible. She said we both thought we saw different things in each other that never really existed.

****The kicker****
She never saw anything in me. She's not even sure why she stuck around. That really hurt :(

Spoken like a true man. Seriously, dude, it's the best way to go. This girl sounds manipulative and needy... the only way to save yourself a load of grief is to do this, verbatim.

Dude, sorry to say this but your g/f is a bitch.

As my friend would say, "She's toast."

Get her out of your life like YESTERDAY. You don't need her drama. I thought it was a necessary factor in a relationship for the longest time. Now I'm dating a girl with no drama whatsoever, and what little does rise up she takes care of herself. It's extremely liberating.

i dont know what it is with girls, they seem to think that every man owes them something. And your EX-g/f, she was cheating on you before the break dude........sorry to say it but she was. I had a g/f for 2 years, i met a new girl, tried the break thing with my g/f and she didnt go for it. So i broke it off with her. I didnt fool around with the other girl before i broke up, just out of respect for my g/f at the time. But as far as girls go, like i stated before, they think men owe them something. So its no doubt in my mind that she cheated, and wanted to be with this tool of a guy, so hence the break.

The reason she calls it a "break", is because you are probably the guy that most girls like, like myself. We're the nice guy, who treats them great and listen to all their BS and are always there for them. Put aside the hoursssss in bed we provide for them. Then some schmuck comes around, like this guy she is seeing, who drives the nice lexus or mustang or whatever; and she gets all f-ed up. If you really like the girl, call her when shes done with this idiot, b/c she'll be missing all the things you did that this guy couldnt b/c hes not with her for the relationship. B/c she knows that she wants you back eventually, so hence the "break".


Plus, i pray to god that you are older than i. Im 22. Because if you are me age or younger, you shouldnt even be in a relationship..........
