haha, if you've read about this one, you sure you want to?

a bad family life is always a bad sign, imo.
Look at her family's relationships:
real mom: never married, has had kids with 3 different guys, currently living with a 4th.
real dad: never married, has had kids with 2 different women, hasn't spoken to my gf in 2 years
foster mom: divorced once
foster dad: divorced twice
real sister: only person with a stable relationship(married 5 years), but her family doesn't like her husband and wants her to divorce him, even though she is in love with him
foster sister: is only 16, has been engaged 3 times

wow.


..... i take it back dont hit it any more just run! shes damaged

Wise words from one who experienced the same situation right in front of our eyes on ATOT. Unfortunately, as I'm sure Viper was told by others and probably me, sometimes you have to go through it to realize what you should have done in the first place.
Believe us, you should walk away. You're a teenager, you're in high school, and in the end, HS relationships are simply building blocks for later in life. Ask any guy 10 or more years removed from HS, and 99% percent will say they wish they had dumped their "high school sweetheart" when things started going bad and tried to tap any and every girl that would let them. The other 1% will lie and say they don't think that. ;)
Dump her ass and go out with her best friend. Then go out with HER best friend. etc, etc, etc. You'll be glad you did after you graduate.

Holy hell, I'm only 5 years removed from HS and that's exactly how I feel. Damn I wish I'd dumped that b!tch earlier!

Anyway, yeah, run like hell (whilst being a gentleman about it). 11 months is NOT that long, despite what others might say. I broke up with my HS g/f (of 30 months) about 1.5 months before graduation because her "issues" with her family among other things were getting worse. Plus she was becoming obsessed with money due to the fact that she felt she had to prove her stature or something....so yeah, social issues too.

We had been drifting away and having problems the last months of HS, so I decided that I was NOT going to be dealing with all that from 4 hours away until we had a really bad breakup. Instead, I ended it on my terms, in the most gentle manner I could (she was devastated at the time, saying I was "the one"). It all turned out for the better in the end, and at one point she even emailed and thanked me for breaking up when I did, as opposed to some months later over long distance.

She wasn't feeling well, felt the need to send me a text message at 6:45 to tell me this, waking me up....so she stays home from school today, happens to sign on AIM while I'm between classes. She doesn't say anything for awhile, probably waiting to see what I do. She uses AOL, she actually signed on AIM this time, as soon as she got on, she read my AIM profile, took my quiz in my profile and stuff, obviously waiting for me to talk to her. I don't. Eventually she IM's me, totally avoiding last night, telling me she failed my quiz, she's feeling a little better, all totally non-related stuff. Finally she brings it up, saying that I was really pissed last night, that I actually swore at her, which I've never done before, but that she deserved it and all. She says, again, she feels like she's too serious, I again ask, why, since we talk 10 minutes a day and see each other every other week, not very serious to me. She says she doesn't know, she just isn't happy. I point out that she is happy for weeks at a time and then decides to be unhappy for a day or two. She doesn't have a response. She asks me if my brother ever had problems with his girlfriend(they've been together for 4 years now, and I talked to him last night to help calm me down), I said yes, around 1 year(where we are), they fought alot. I don't know what the hell she wants, she makes it sound like she doesn't want to be together, but then she says things that mean she isn' t happy now but wants to be happy and stay with me. I don't know what's going on, but I'm not falling into her trap again, forgiving her for her one-night flip outs yet again. I'm going to give her the option of some space (not seeing her till thanksgiving break). If she doesn't want to take that, tough luck, I guess its over.

If only you had taken your own advice instead of being broken time and time again :(

It can probably only get worse, if you don't feel totally happ then you shouldn't feel that you should be there just so she can be happy sometimes. It's your life, do what you want.

I'm not staying so she can be happy sometimes. I'm very happy with our relationship when she isn't doing things like this. The problem is that she is unhappy, for no reason, frequently.

Deeko,

I am assuming you alredy have the nude pics that your going to plaster all over the net ready to go. If not, just send them to me and I'll take care of that for ya.

This must be the thread that you mentioned to me in PM.

There's onl ne question you need to ask:
Do you love her?

heh, I'm not denying that I've got them...but they ain't for you. :D

I do love her, but come on, there is only so much stress I can take. I've forgiven her again and again for doing this, I've busted my ass to keep this relationship going over the last 2 months, I can't do it forever. The heart can only be torn so much before it breaks.

Dump her and don't look back. If you feel the need to be with a psychopathic girl again, they're a buy one get one free in college.

Depression? Self-esteem issues? Purely speculating but it sounds like something of the sort is going on.

I had the same situation, she was only happy sometimes, and it ended up being best if we split. I didn't wann ahev to do it, but it was best for both of us so we could move on and be happy all the time.

then the answer is fairly simple i guess.

break up with her while you can.
