Hi Anita
thank you for your response, although slightly envoi after reading yours and the previous, we do not fight at all, our communication is beyond great I trust him 100 percent and like I said it’s not like any other relationship I’ve had. He makes me a better person and I’ve not had any anxiety or thoughts of running away, I feel secure and safe.
i will take on what you said about communication and setting time for myself. As it is only 3 month of living together I personally think it will be good as we are living with others who are very sociable and fun.
I hope that we can make it work because right now I’m on cloud nine.
thank you
Sophie

he is very into my values and his values in live are the same as mine.he is very supportive and knows what my motives in life are and loves the way I think and feel about live values so I don’t think it’s that so much.
maybe I’m am very shallow, only sometimes do I find him attractive and also sometimes I think he can be to nice so there is no mystery.
its confusing how when you meet the loveliest most caring person you do like them as much as you hoped.
thank you for your supportive once again

Sometimes he can just be to nice, always calls me nice names, gets me stud from the super market, always wants to see me… he gives me no mystery or chase but he is a very lovely guy I just feel so terrible for even thinking this, I feel I’m never going to be happy because there is a guy standing in front of me that is so so nice and I just don’t know how I feel. He’s done nothing wrong at all so that’s y I was a little confused.

thank you so much for you help.
Anita, I kind of get you but I just still don’t understand why sometimes I like him and sometimes I don’t?? Is it just the case I like? I think I’m being really shallow but I can’t help it. He’s so nice so when I finally have my everything why am I finding faults! ?
thank you

SophieParticipantEliana, thank you SO much, I got straight to work and printed out you response, that did hit a spot for me and I totally get what your saying, I think some times I compare what he does to what I do…
So I spoke to him last night, and unfortunately I couldn’t even look at him in the eyes, I feel so so hurt and he is just going about his day as if nothing at all has happened, like he is 100% totally fine mean while I just cant stop overthinking or crying – this annoys me a lot (not that I want him to be in pain). He told me he loves me so so much but still wants his free time, to live on his own, to focus or himself and his work and sport, which im totally not saying is a bad thing I actually get it, I just don’t understand how he can lie in bed with me say all these nice amazing thing and then turn round and say but I don’t actually want anything serious!!! ummmm???? is it me being a little princess or if that not so cool, knowing how stressed I am at the moment.
I don’t want to be nasty or be negative toward him one bit, I respect that he doesn’t want that yet as I only would want someone in my life that is 100% committed – so is this a fact of, Sophie get a grip he is telling you he doesn’t want you?
Thank you

SophieParticipantThank you so much for replying I really appreciate your thoughts and I do agree with them yes! I also find it hard when he says that kind of mixed messages stuff… the thing is he says it with such love and understanding, “I truly truly love you and I never want to loose you” so I think that’s why I am so confused, in a way its making me resent him a little, this only happened yesterday and right now I cant/don’t want to see/talk to him, not in a tasty way but in a way of I don’t understand how he could treat me with so little respect, he saw the hurt I was going through yet didn’t bother to tell me this until I asked, so yes maybe he is not emotionally invested in me. But then I think back and he seems so loving and caring, all cuddles and kisses.
I have struggled in the past waning me from him, I mean with out sounding crazy I feel I do sweet things to show my love towards him, like leave little notes or just make an effort to see if he need anything thought his day yet I get nothing like that in return, is that him being a boy or not emotionally invested?
I do find him very very attractive yes and now you say it when I think about him being kind, caring and if I love him no matter how hard I try there is almost like a mental block so I find myself not actually being able to answer that… I also do like that he is into his sports, and he is very independent, he says he will work hard for us to have a happy life and family, so how am I supposed to feel after he says that… every girls wants that 🙁 maybe he isn’t the one for me!
He says he knows this is all his fault and has commitment issues that he needs to work on so I know the answer is staring at me in the face MOVE ON SOPHIE!!!! I just find it hard.
Thank you once again
Sophie
SophieParticipantHi Anita
Your are right, I think I find it hard knowing that someone doesn’t want me “yet” but still wants to see me and love me – that’s is really strange to me and a little upsetting.
Do you think that fact that i’m anxious in relationship means that I will find it hard to find love? There are certain things about him that I truly love but then I think back to what he is saying to me and doing to my mental health right now and I think how can he love me. He isn’t being horrible or abusive at all he is being very loving so I think i’m trying to make that connection in my mind as to how he can be so loving but then say the things he is saying, it doesn’t make sense to me.
I feel traveling is right for me right now I just don’t want to feel the “what if” everyone I know and who us says how deeply in love he is with me, but how can this be?
Thank you so much
Sophie
SophieParticipantHi Anita
I’m so sorry to be emailing you again, I’m sitting at my desk thing “why why why” why do I feel the need to get support of this great site and why can’t I just deal with this on my own! I just want to be chill about this stupid situation, but I can’t! I can’t just let it be. I spoke with my dad last night and finally told him and his was response was “do you want me to tell you it’s going to be ok, because it won’t, you will cry a lot and you will be sad but Sophie what will be will be – you don’t have a crystal ball so just be calm” me and my dad are super close and just how he says theses thing makes my mind clear for just five minutes but when I’m on my own and I’m bored my mind goes mad! One thing to the next. It’s like I have emotional bipolar.
So Pete (the boyfriend) has been away for just over a week – he is sending me loving text like “you are the sunshine in my life – you are my one and only” (gross but cute ha) when I talk to my friends about this, they are very protective of my and remind me about the past, when he was seeing me and another girl at the same time, when we were out in the club and I saw him get with another….. this club situation was about 3 years ago but still to this day makes me feel so sick inside. And I think how can someone do that to me, treat me with such disrespect but then I think maybe he has grown up and he really does love me and want to marry me like he says he does! I feel myself trying to justify his actions to myself and others – what does this mean?
I can’t belive how my mind it going 100 miles an hour’s 24/7 and he is just so cool about it – when I talk to him and say stuff like “it will kill me when we have to say good bye” (makes me feel sick inside just typing that!) He always says yes I find it so hard too and I’m going to hate it but he never voices it AT ALL and im the one going to bed almost every night crying .
I’m so nervous about losing our connection, sexually and emotionally but part of me whilst writing this is like “are you Sophie” my mind is just so confused, it’s almost like I’m going away to see if I can find better and if not I will come back to him. In some ways I fell I deserve better because I give sooooo much love to him and feel I might not get the same in return? Just because he says nice things to me doesn’t mean that enough does it?
I think im looking for answers to questions I don’t even know if that makes any sense at all – ive never been so confused in my life!
I really am sorry if this makes no sense at all but that’s because my brain is fried.
Thank you for you kind help you have no idea howmuch it means x
SophieParticipantMorning
Thank you for your post it makes a lot of sense to me – I feel I am extremely needy (not crazy girl though) but I do love feeling loved, getting hug and kisses and being told nice thing about myself, who doesn’t? I feel as soon as I am intimate we might as well get married -ok maybe not that far but yes I get very attached very easily and intimacy that’s a big deal for me, I love the feeling of a man looking after me and being in control so I guess that’s what I will miss. I don’t think this is a crush as we have been together twice now – before the last time I travelled. I guess right now im just thinking, if he makes me feel like I have to come on to the web site to write about how I feel, if I told him and hes don’t nothing about it apart from sweet talk me, there must be something not right… like you said I feel he is just waiting for me to go to move on even thought he says he will never forget me and will wait! basically a head F***! man are so great at that haha
Im going traveling and living my life to the fullest I can 🙂
Sophie xx
SophieParticipantMost certainly not married and not thinking of it 🙂 You are extremely right in what you write – Traveling is my passion, it makes me happy and there are no arguments with travel. My biggest test is thinking I’m missing out but as your rightly put it, what drives him .. the answer is his work and sport sport sport! In a way I do feel he will find it easy for me to leave and will just move on – but I cant blame him, this is the 3rd time I have been traveling so I guess its not settling for him either!
Thank you so much for your honesty, although its via email chat you honestly have mad me see the light a little clearer. I just hope I have the strength to be strong when I leave.
All the best, Sophie
SophieParticipantHi and sorry for my late reply
I have had a lot of time to think and there are so many if’s and but’s that my mind has gone into overload so for that reason I think it is best to follow my travel dream as I am uncertain what would happen if I stayed home.
The day I was emailing you was a terrible day for me, I went home and told him everything, whilst he was VERY supportive for the first half his mind soon wondered off to being a typical man (horny) and tried it on – is this wrong? I don’t know – should he have been more sensitive or is this just me being to hopeful! this is what I mean by brain overload – I kind of just don’t know what is right or wrong if you get me!
When he is talking about marrage and having babies it really does make my tummy flutter, in a good way, who doesn’t want to feel that love. But do I trust him and is he right for me? I just don’t know, and maybe I don’t want to know right now.
When we were first getting together (3 years) ago we were on a night out on the town a bunch of us, I was super shy and we didn’t talk at all really but it was still a flirty kind of thing going on – I remember dancing on the dance floor with my best friend looking over and seeing him kiss another girl, take her by the hand and leave the club – even writing this makes me feel a little ill! and for some silly annoying reason I just cant get over that, I know its mad and were weren’t officially ‘a thing’ but still…
Please offer me you wisdom and kind advise on me hopefully doing the right thing!
Thank you so much

SophieParticipantYour suggestion is bang on! I think what has happened to me in the past I feel like I always need to feel loved (from partners or a lover) but then when I have it I throw it away as I like to travel and that is my true passion. I get what you mean by not all men are kind but how can I tell the difference? he says he loves me, he cares deeply for me, although im not 100 per-cent sure I trust him as he has slept with a few girl since I was away (but shouldn’t he, I left him) I feel he is extremely good looking so could get any girl, why bother girl me if I’m crazy in this relationship, but he still tells me its only me he wants – but I don’t want to be the fool.
I’m extremely passionate about my life and living it to the fullest – I am a very emotional spiritual person and just feel slightly lost and confused! I am going away. As I read this I feel im going round in circles – if I was to stay and not travel would I be 100 per-cent satisfied with him? im not sure but I would like to think I would! he is very attached to his job and sport, which I fully support but I do sometimes feel like a third wheel to him, am I a crazy girl to feel like he should play me more attention or is that me anxiety kicking in? so hard to tell!
Thank you again – Please come to Canada with me and keep me sane 🙂 haha!
SophieParticipantThank you so much for responding to me and you kind help.
I think what im trying to say is loving him again- I got sucked into loving him again which I can find hard – I have anxiety in relationships which I try hard to not effect me- I get insecure, blame him for not showing me attention, think im giving him love and he’s not giving me any back, I know I sounds like a someone that is super needy but I guess I don’t know if its me or him. If im telling my self he doesn’t love me just to make it easier on myself by pushing him away. I just read a blog on this site which totally made sense to me that know therapist had ever suggested.
https://tinybuddha.com/blog/why-you-feel-anxious-in-relationships-and-how-to-stop/ THIS IS 100 PERCENT ME – ALL OF IT………………. maybe this is why I feel the way I do…. im so confused!
He always tell me he loves me, he serious about “us” that’s he wants me to go away and have the best time, that this isn’t the end…. He has a great way of dealing with it, he so so calm, and im the total opposite – stress head!
Thank you
Sophie
