This scenario does not have anything to do with my personal life, so if you reply trying to bug me....muahahahahahaha
These are the only facts you get.
All names are fictional.

Jane and Joe are an item. they've been together for months and things seem great until...

Question #1
Joe decides he needs to break up with Jane. He's not completely over his ex-girlfriend. But he's confused, he really likes Jane and he really likes the ex. Joe is much more comfortable with Jane, but wants to get back with the ex because "he misses her." How would you analyze the character of Joe?

Question #2
Same situation as question 1. Jane really likes Joe. She's had a connection with him that she's never had with anyone else. She's not mad at Joe for being so indecisive, she's just confused. She wants to show him that she is better than the ex, but doesn't know how. This is the third straight relationship where a "question of choice" comes up. How would you analyze the character of Jane?

Any analysis is appreciated

Joe is an idiot. In general, getting back with an ex is a mistake. If it didnt work the first time why would it work this time. Then he goes and wants to break up with Jane because he misses his ex. Instead of losing one woman, he now loses two.

Joe is a wuss with no stones and needs to pull his head out of his arse!

Jane is a needy twit who will end up on Jerry Springer one day with her 6 kids and their 7 fathers.....no wait...reverse that.

Question #1
- He seems unsure of himself, he is looking for past memories and hopes to be able to experiance them with his ex gf. Real world chances of that happening are almost none and my advice would be to forget the ex and try to focus on his current gf.

Question #2
- She seems to care, she wants the guy and knows of the problem and wants to work things out. Good person but also unsure of herself. My advice would be to take the guy away, somewhere that doesnt bring back memories of his old gf.

joe is dumb and confused. if he breaks up with jane because of this he'll end up regretting it and missing "jane" instead of his ex. unfortunately joe won't realize this until it's TOO late so instead he will write a song about it and become a big rockstar and have lots of money and unfulfilling sex but forever be lonely because of his one mistake.

jane has self esteem issues. she should realize that she deserves a guy that is not so indecisive. she should instantly dump joe and move on. she shouldn't be with a guy that doesn't realize a good thing when he sees it.

The grass is always greener..

Joe needs to remember all the reasons his ex is his ex. Joe needs to give his head a shake and be happy with Jane. Jane is a saint for putting up with a boob like Joe. Joe needs to buy Jane a dozen roses.

Get it? Got it? Good.

Joe should have resolved his issues with the x before getting into another relationship. That said, people break up for a reason and he'd be a damned dirty ape if he got back w/the x

As for Jane, it's hard to call 3-in-a-row a coincidence...does she subconsciously go looking for trouble?

How can we assume that Jane "deserves" something better and that she is a "good thing?"

Joe is a moron with nothing better to think about. my analysis is that he'll die of a$$ cancer. :)

Jane need to think things through and dump that stupid Joe. Chances are She'll find another guy with better quality and loves her.

Uh.. Okay.. lol...

Pretty complicated, actually. Joe needs to quit messing Jane around, even if he is confused. If he really likes Jane, he should stay with her and forget about his ex. If he can't do that, he needs to break up with her and figure out what he needs to do. he would probably lose both girls.

It sounds like Jane really likes Joe, and would like to stay together. I'm not sure theres a way to show him she's "better", perhaps more commited. Jane needs to accept that perhaps Joe isn't right for her, and move on.

Answer #1: Joe needs to take his time and figure out what he wants. It is unfair for Jane while Joe is with her and thinking of someone else.

Answer #2: Janes needs to give him some space and be willing to take a risk. Yes it's unfair but would you rather be with someone that is thinking of another person or let them be with the person the care about most?

Answer 1: Jack needs to smack himself upside the head and figure out who he wants to stick with more. A deer that can't decide where to go becomes roadkill.

Answer 2: Jane needs to back up.

Answer 3: Ur a <edit>doodoo cacahead</edit> cuz you started that damned sack vs yoda thread a while back. **raspberry** :p hehehe

Joe realizes that while things are nice now, 20 years down the road the likelyhood of him being in a loving relationship with Jane is almost nil. To Joe, the prospect of being reduced to a quivering little weakling by an overbearing hag of a wife is much more horrific than the pain of an easily gotten over break up with her now. Joe is a wise man.

Jane just goes back to the bar where she picked up Joe in the first place and try's for another sucker.

Jane and Joe are both codependent, pathetic twits, neither of whom can take responsibility for being themselves or by themselves. They could work out their relationship if they didn't spend all of their time and energy on Off Topic threads.
