She loves me, yes she does she says and sing it but she doesnt show it that much. Her personality took me some time to study i accepted my fate. I look around I see other people how they are happy in the relationship, the love is visible and glaring. How they talk yo each other with cheer and gladness. But Ours is kind of different. When ever I take her out with my friends she might just ignore me through out the occasion no talking of sort. I accepted my faith thinking that is her personality. I will try to console and convince myself
3. She complains about everything I am not doing right. She wanted to be a mickey boy a person that shows and text her every morning and afternoon she wants to tell her I love you every day. I adjusted thinking this will make her happy but no, it will just look like I did not do any adjustments or change. She will again bring some other of her emotional needs of her for me to meet up with I will try and meet up, what killed me was at least if I try to change to suit her I should see some level of reciprocal doings from her. But no she will bring up something again for me do. She only show true affection when she is happy. This were my thoughts a certain night I thought about it for months. Because I am a kind of person I over analyse issues before taking decisions even if it is a small decision. it is its own disadvantage and advantage I know. So I broke up with her but with a mutual reason of spiritual incompatibility I was concerned about her feelings that I did not want make her feel real bad. She cried we both cried. Then two weeks later out of loneliness and ignorance (It was my first break up though) I never knew loneliness was part of the aftermath of breakups even if it is for a right reason. We got back together this time she thought I came because I now realise I cant leave without her(she was wrong) that I cant go anywhere so she started misbehaving and acting ”like yes he came back thing. So I knew things can’t work between us”
After the break up she did mention something i will like to say. She said she failed that she was given a flower but she failed to water it and it died. Because i told her the plain truth for the break up that it was due to her selfishness and almost everything i mention earlier.
She also said she knew alot of things that could make me happy but she did not do it because i did not tell her. Why will someone who loves you say this to you ? is it normal ?
Some days I feel happy I left the relationship some days I feel regrets, some days I just feel lonely. I don’t know if anyone has pass through this similar situation.
Reading all through my write up does it make sense to get back to her. Please help. It is has been 6 weeks of no contact. She called twice in between asking about my work and life then texting me she will be leaving town that I wont see her again and all of that.
Please note: She has a child out of wedlock which she hid from me but I knew through my personal findings. I asked she said it is her aunt’s child but I knew she was lieing. But I loved her still.February 11, 2017 at 10:03 am #127243AnonymousGuestDear neversaynever:
There are times when it is a good idea to say never. Is this relationship breakup to be extended from the 6 week No Contact to Never, is your question.
You wrote: “She also said she knew alot of things that could make me happy but she did not do it because i did not tell her. Why will someone who loves you say this to you ? is it normal ?”
It is true that one person cannot read another person’s mind. This is why it is important to let other people know what you need from them, or at least bring those needs up and come to an understanding how to proceed. She said she “knew a lot of things” that could make you happy, based on what, do you know?
Now, if she repeatedly lied to you, was dishonest, and you re-start your relationship with her telling her: “I need you to be honest with me”- will it be News to her, will she be thinking/ saying: “Oh, I didn’t know that?- now that I know, I will be honest, or the dishonesty is already established in her personal conduct and to be expected to continue…?
Her repeating messages to you “about everything I am not doing right”- and ongoing demands; her conditional and temporary love for you- if you told her you need her to stop that message and her demands, will she be willing or able to comply?
I don’t know. Did you voice to her your needs, in the past? If you did, how did she respond?

February 11, 2017 at 10:46 am #127247neversayneverParticipantI have told her my needs, i told the most important thing was peace and love. There will be peace for a while only for her to complain about something else again, after that one is solve another complain comes up again. it was never ending.
Though she depended on me for her happiness and i knew i tried to give my all, but it now looked one sided to me. It did not make me to see a future with her.
Most time we just quarrel for no just cause, at the end the day i will start asking her what are we quarreling for? No reason. I will ask her what is the problem she will not say anything.
Sometimes when i see her moody i will ask what is the moodiness for, she will tell me nothing only for her to tell me days later or never talk at all. (My thoughts though now that i am out of it – She now started paying me back for not treating her the way she likes without telling what she needs). She now started something which she has always withheld. Stopped doing things that will make me happy. (There is quote i use to use for her always. YOU GET MORE LOVE WHEN YOU SHOW LOVE. LOVE BEGETS LOVE. SHOW A LITTLE LOVE AND CARE THEN YOU WILL GET SO MUCH IN RETURN. I always say this anything i go out of confortzone to meet her demands. i use that quotes always. i mean always. Anytime we she complains again after i try to adjust to her kind of person it made her look appreciative but of my efforts.
I knew i could never satisfy her no way i will always work and work. Note: She always say this she does not believe i love her. (There is no living way i have not shown to her i love, is it by gifts, by introducing to my family, name it.. social media, name it..Can someone like that change? Or should i just move on with my life.
February 11, 2017 at 11:35 am #127248AnonymousGuestDear neversaynever:
I believe you should move on with your life. The behaviors you described about your ex girlfriend are quite common really. I know a man who was married for more than 30 years to a woman displaying these behaviors: demanding more and more, nothing is ever enough and so on. You can save yourself a whole lot of pain and suffering if you simply continue this life-saving No Contact. Continue it into … eternity. When you have a girlfriend again, pay close attention so to not get into a relationship with yet another woman displaying these behaviors. This way you can use this painful experience to prevent another.
Be next, with an honest woman, who will show you love, as love begets love, as you wrote.
You asked, can a woman like this change? My answer: only if she really wants to, and keeps wanting to, for a long, long time, and is willing to work hard during that time, on changing. Not many people are willing. She may require competent psychotherapy to help her through changing.

February 11, 2017 at 11:37 am #127249AnonymousGuest* didn’t take, try again…
February 11, 2017 at 10:56 pm #127260neversayneverParticipantThank you. Anita
Try again? i dont think so for now. Though i am tempted to but i dont think it is going to be different this time.February 12, 2017 at 7:08 am #127263AnonymousGuestDear neversaynever:
The “didn’t take. try again” was not for you- my post before that didn’t take, that is, the fact that I posted to you didn’t show on the list of Topics (under Forums), so I posted again so that my name appears under Topics and so, that you can see on the list that I responded to you. The “try again” was NOT meant as a suggestion for you to try the relationship again-
that would be the opposite of my post to you, above. Extending the No-Contact to eternity- that was my advice and still is.

February 12, 2017 at 10:38 am #127277neversayneverParticipantI thought as much.
Her demands were more of the emotional demands. Like on her birthday I took time and went the extra mile to order for a cake for her and send someone to deliver at her door step. she was happy that day do you know what? after two days we fought for an unreasonable reason. something that at the end of the day I dont know the reason for the fight. I thought by doing that she will be happy and cheerful and there will be peace in the relationship. We fight for unreasonable reasons. I have told her I hope she is not comparing our relationship to other people’s own, she say No and will then ask her so what is the problem why are you always wanting us to quarrel. For instance she may tell me I dont text her enough I will try and adjust only for her to say again I dont call enough, I will try again only for her to say I don’t say I love you enough I will do that only for her to bring up something else again. it really choked me and drained me emotionally. This I told her during the break that she was draining me emotionally and didnt treat me right.I am trying to explain the situation to you. Because you will see the situation from an unbiase side view.

I trust your account of her behavior in the relationship with you- it is believable and I am familiar with this dynamic: one person doing more and more, hoping to satisfy the other; the other demanding more and more, never to be satisfied.
Back to your username: never-say-never, well her appropriate name would be never-to-be-satisfied. You can go out of your way for the next ten years, twenty years, lifetime- and the result will always be the same. What a waste of time and energy.
Clearly, never. And so, best you can do is exit the relationship and remain outside of it. However difficult your loneliness, do aspire for a loving relationship. A loving, Win-Win relationship is possible for you, only not with her. It is possible with someone else.
Look where it is possible for you to find what you need and want. Not where it has already proven impossible.

February 20, 2017 at 1:04 am #128449neversayneverParticipantI am just confused Anita.
I just heard this morning that she is getting married soon to somebody she has always be telling me about, she pretended he is her family friend. He is based abroad not knowing she was dating the guy while dating me, she was dating the guy also what a pain. Even though we are no more together i still feel pain that she lied to me all along.
What a pity. I just feel really pained. She still disturbs me for us to get back together despite that but if i get back to her it will only be for revenge not more. I thank God i broke up with her before this happening.February 20, 2017 at 10:58 am #128531AnonymousGuestDear neversaynever:
I suppose this is why “When ever I take her out with my friends she might just ignore me through out the occasion no talking of sort”- she was always open to Other Options, a better deal. So in public she acted unattached to you, in case there is someone who can give her more.
You wrote in your original post: “Her personality took me some time to study i accepted my fate”-
That fate is not yours, isn’t this good news? To her current or future boyfriend/ husband, she is not good news, because she will always want more. If he can’t give her more (and likely, no one can), she will be with another man, while in relationship with the first. Her justification is likely to be: he doesn’t give me what I deserve!
Like I wrote to you before, this is quite common. Having had this experience, be it as painful as it is, gives you the following advantage: you know what to look for in the next woman in your life- the give-me-more attitude. And so, that will be your choice to make, not a matter of fate.
