Yea I don’t know really I guess how to put in words because who wants to make the person there with I guess sound like a monster. But yea, sometimes, sporadically when he feels like it or something else has bothered him he is just really mean. Simple as that; as mean as someone can be without hitting me, calling me out my name, or yelling. He is more manipulative than anything. He does a lot of stuff just to get a reaction out of me or to make me sweat. Sometimes it works and other times I don’t feed into it because that’s just stuff I don’t care about. Like him not being there when me and Jimmy got back. I KNOW he did that to make some point. But that just didn’t matter to me. It wasn’t a big deal that your not home when I got home…the bigger issue to me is WHY your not here. Which is what? to teach me a lesson? It makes me feel a way. Like how another WHOLE adult going to for lack of a better word “punish” me. I guess.
He said he was going to move. Most of what’s in our house is mine anyways so it’s just what makes the most sense. Literally his clothes and TV but other than a few miscellaneous items everything is mine.
I told him Oct 30 that I wanted him to move out. You clearly see what day it is. He said originally that Nov 4th he would leave. But he said things were “really good” that week so basically he thought I changed my mind. NOPE. So I reopened the conversation like no I still want my space. He “packed” 85% of his stuff basically over the week or so later. But he hasn’t ACTUALLY MOVED ANTHING.
UNTIL the dinner situation the other night. I came home and noticed that a large majority of the clothes he had packed were now gone. He has been feeling a way since.
November 17, 2017 at 6:31 am in reply to: HELP Am I in a relationship but still in love with my ex? Cant figure it out! #178507Jenny LynnParticipantAnything honestly. Just a mash up of the past 2 days.
I tell him that my friend was going to come over to the house. Ya kno just being courteous and letting him be aware. My friend had to stay at work a little later than they thought though and got hungry so they wanted me to meet them at a restaurant. Which was what they wanted to do originally but I said no because I am saving my money. But they were hungry enough to be like I’ll buy. So I text him and tell him because he was working late and hadn’t communicated with me when he would be home. Its probably about 7:40pm. I have been off since 5 right. So I tell him “Hey I am going to meet Jimmy (Gay BFF) at Griffs. Then we are coming back to the house. I will see you when we get back since your still camping out at work”
GIRL. …Mad
All of a sudden he comes at me like “Damn Aite” and Im just confused. Whats to damn about right? You aren’t even here. So we go back and forth thru text for a minute while I am still trying to get out the house as well to meet my friend. And he on some “Oh well I guess Ill go find something else to do” Blah blah blah. I call him while I was driving and he basically tries to imply (because he knows everything) that I ALWAYS knew we were going to eat I just didn’t say anything. NEGATIVE. I was laying in the bed with a Tshirt on waiting for Jimmy to say he was down stair so I could put pants on. Literally I had no clue but there isn’t any arguing with him. He just says Im talking in circles and he doesn’t want to hear it. So I go to dinner we come back in literally a hour and he isn’t there. I call him he said he went to get something to eat. probably 1-1/2 later I call again he says hes at his moms about to be back. He comes in as Jimmy is leaving around 11pm. He comes in with just a stank attitude. Doesn’t want to give me a hug. When he gets mad he wont hug me or kiss me and stuff.
That night he wanted to argue just picking at anything ya know. Then yesterday just picking and poking at anything to go back and forth about.
Girl. I asked him lastnight if he wanted to meditate with me right. He said yea. I have a Meditation basics app on my phone that teaches you how to meditate so I grab my phone. Hes like “Oh nah! Im not doing that. You don’t need a app. you rely on the internet for everything” Blah blah blah. I’m just taken a back like Im confused. ” Meditation IS A SKILL. You have to learn it! Oh I thought you was going to tell us what to do blah blah. I was like no. I don’t know how that well yet. MEDITATION is a LEARNED SKILLLLL! literally he just didn’t get it. I just got mad it made my anxiety go off the scale because WHY is it that serious.
He slept on the couch smh. Then this morning he didn’t come in the room to tell me he left work work (6am cuz Im still sleep). Anytime were on good terms and usually even on bad sometimes he will come in and say “Im gone” *HUG* *KISS*
Not today tho!
I text him like “Why do I feel you do things purposely to hurt me” He says I don’t—next msg– just like you don’t.
Im like this is literally a big adult game of “I know you are but what am I?”
He does the silent treatment a lot. He’s gotten better about it because I flipped out about it.
He gets mad when he doesn’t feel “special.” or like I didn’t think about him.
Changes in plans REALLLLLY annoys him hence the beginning story. Because I went to dinner with another friend of mine a few days before that and no issue.
He gets mad if I don’t text him back in a certain amount of time (unknown time because it literally depends on his mood) Things I literally have no control over.
He gets really irritated when I miss his phone calls which bothers me because I feel this need to constantly check my phone ya know. Out of my natural want to do it.
His feelings are facts in a nutshell.
November 17, 2017 at 5:43 am in reply to: HELP Am I in a relationship but still in love with my ex? Cant figure it out! #178501Jenny LynnParticipantHey Anita,
Ya, I do kind of have a lot going on up in my head. I have thought strongly about doing that so I am going to take the steps to look into that.
I think the relationship I am in right now I killing me…slowly.
Its literally 50/50 half the time we are happy and the other half he’s mad. About fucking anything honestly.
But its so sporadic I forget almost. That’s the only word I can think of. Like you were happy for 4 days then mad for 2 then happy for 3 and forget about how ridiculous the past 2 days were dealing with him and his bickering and mood swings…until it happens again.
But I also don’t know why I just cant break myself away from the cycle. I asked him to move out and he is but he’s doing it literally slower than Christmas. I think if I didn’t have to come home to him everyday still I could feel my feelings more genuinely.
I don’t know why it seems like I have a issue not talking to him or dealing with him while he still lives there.
Like if he doesn’t leave for another 7-10 days just walking around like we don’t see each other not talking. Like I’m living with a stranger. I just cant do it. I feel almost an obligation to reach out to him.
I told him he needed to go before we start hating each other and nothing can be done. He didn’t heed that warning I guess.

November 16, 2017 at 11:06 am in reply to: HELP Am I in a relationship but still in love with my ex? Cant figure it out! #178385Jenny LynnParticipantHey Anita,
I cant quite iron out if your saying “even though your birthday isn’t a holiday” or “even though IT IS on a holiday”
My birthday is the end of September so no actual holidays occur around it.
But growing up my birthday was never really a special thing. It was “acknowledged” but I never had birthday parties growing up. I think I had one birthday celebration growing up as a child when I was maybe 4. I was too young to remember really; that says the most.
My family usually throws a dollar bill at any issue truthfully . They really don’t care about your feelings. We aren’t rich but we are pretty well to do across the board. So my relatives usually would just give me money, a lot of them wouldn’t call or anything. Even now they don’t. But it was only the ones who I saw often like my Aunt or grandfather.
I don’t have a very close relationship with anyone in my family. It used to be my mom but that has dwindled away over the past 2-3 years. I have a brother we are more tolerable of each other now than ever before in our childhoods. We really used to not care for each others company really. But even though now we mentally are on a different playing field we get along but still rarely ever talk or see each other. I really don’t have a person that I can turn to in my family and be transparent with.
I just kind of felt like my birthday didn’t matter. So when I came to college and my life changed I told myself well shoot if no one else will do it I’ll do it. To most of my friends and people who have gotten to know in college really acknowledge my birthday like its a holiday. My best friends literally take off work from their jobs lol. I always throw a huge party and I hangout with my friends and I go to dinners and maybe get a few gifts. My birthday from 2011-2016 are really some of the best memories I have.
This year I didn’t really celebrate my birthday. That really bothered my mom, to add. Ironic to the fact that she never really helped in the celebrations of my birthdays growing up. She felt like it was because of Glen. You read the above stuff about what went on. He did kind of ruin it…or well better yet I LET HIM.
I just didn’t feel it for some reason. I was like “my birthday is cancelled this year.” I saw my mom to appease her and another friend of mine and that’s it.
My friends were really disappointed when that was my responses to their pre-birthday plan text.
November 16, 2017 at 9:17 am in reply to: HELP Am I in a relationship but still in love with my ex? Cant figure it out! #178359Jenny LynnParticipantAnita,
Outside of my relationships. My life is copacetic.
I would generally acknowledge for the sake of honesty that I am an unhappy person with a mostly good life. Which is sad.
I do have functioning depression which I have came to terms with over the past year or so just within some self reflection and realizing that I enjoy doing nothing a little too much.
In my early 20s I really tried to get over character flaws that may have jolted friendships and relationships I had with people.
Thinking I knew everything, being a better listener, understanding that I make mistakes.
I live and pay my own bills I have a good job for someone my age (24) no kids an okay family. Fantastic friends. I really do have the best friends in the world.
The last time I was truthfully single I would say was in Feb 2014-July 2014 me and Leo had stopped being friends or whatever and it was kinda hard on me and I just was like okay I am going to get my life together. Got on a nice food workout regimen, did some heavy reflection on myself & I lost weight, body was poppin lmao was moderately as happy as a depressed person could be; my friendships were intack and even though I was a little secluded as I sorted stuff out. I was okay.
What’s crazy is a had so little then in my head but got so much accomplished. Now I have a car, more money, I graduated from college and now I feel burdened. When in reality I should be able to turn this life into more because I have more stability to make things happen for myself. Its like I apply unnecessary pressures to myself when the average person would look inward on my life and wonder why or what causes me so much stress.
So 5 months of solitude. This was interrupted by me meeting the guy who I went to dinner with after Glen broke up with me. *NEW PERSON INTRO* we can call him HUNT. I had know him since July 2014 we dated from then till about Oct 2014 it was long distance which made things complex and I was immature then; I think I was 20 so we just let it fizzle out really. But we still really get along I don’t have any issues with him. We enjoy each others company especially since I’ve gotten older. I see him basically once a year when he comes in town for his job and we have dinner and catch up.
But me and him not talking anymore did kind of effect me, I remember actually that’s when I started craving “Boyfriends” even when I shouldn’t have wanted certain people to be that. Because I had actually never been in a spoken “relationship” I felt like something was wrong with me.
At this time though I was the best I ever was really. But I was really down on myself. Body the best ever, my graduation was coming I was a senior. I just couldn’t see the light.
After Hunt…the guy who forgot my birthday wasted my 2015 lol, then I guess I let John pick up where he left off 2016, and now here we are with Glen 2017. smh
Pitful actually when I type it out in my head. lol
November 16, 2017 at 6:21 am in reply to: HELP Am I in a relationship but still in love with my ex? Cant figure it out! #178331Jenny LynnParticipantHi Inky, I really appreciate the feedback and the time it took for you to read the foolishness above. Your right they’re both kind of egotistical.
Your also probably very right about John I’m sure he hasn’t been twiddling his thumbs under a tree for a year.
Glen just I don’t know. He made me pretty mad last night so I can’t speak on him without being biased in what I say. lol
They’re both a lot, and I guess you are right. BOTH not good for me.
What’s crazy is… giving you the scoop lol… there’s actually one more person involved in this story I left out. He popped back up right before me and John started our relationship and John basically was like don’t talk to him. Then popped back up again after we broke up and I had to stop talking to him again because of Glen. **NEW PERSON INTRO ALERT** we can call him Leo. Leo was basically the first guy I ever really like when I came to college. I didn’t date in highschool so he was the first guy I ever really said I liked and really started talking to.
Leo had issues though his mom died, he lost his scholarship to college as a result of his grades slipping. He went thru a lot and I was always there for him as much as I could but we started to kind of bicker about things and ended up stop being friends or whatever you want to call it. Having expectations of people you shouldn’t usually goes that way. He was emotionally unavailable. It was a huge situationship. But that was after 2 and a half years almost 3. I have know Leo for 6 years now. We didn’t talk for almost 2 years before he basically came to me and apologized for all the things he knew he was wrong in doing when we were friends and in so many words basically told me he loved me.
Leo was kind of always my prince charming back then. when we reconnected distracted with John and Glen I felt I had outgrew him.
He was bringing me gourmet cupcakes and stuff every time I would see him, he was just so nice and different. Pretty sure he was asking me on dates but I was kind of a flake and deflected. Like he had really overcame his demons you know. It was good to see. He sat me down and we talked about what all went on during the time we spent together. He took accountability for his wrongs and how he acted. He told me he really loved me then he just didn’t know how to express it. I was the only person who didn’t leave him. He said that he was even sorry for all that I went through in my relationships since then because if he wasn’t in the head space he was we probably would have been together. He said “I honestly feel like if we had got together we would have never broken up and you wouldn’t have had to go thru all of this” *POST BREAK UP WITH JOHN*
Out of the 6 guys I dated in the 6 years since I have know him (since we really never “dated” ) I can say all of them tangibly did something that was a reason to not talk to them accept Leo. Liar, Cheater, Inconsiderate, etccc…
But pretty sure after I stopped talking to him after Glen he wont be speaking to me ever again lol
But that is a good juicy side bar story.
