Dear Everyone!
I would love to share my story, me hooked up with a girl which ended really badly – for me at least.
So im a 23 years old guy, never really had a serious relationship before, until this time when i met with this girl. It’s been nearly 6 months that i have broken up with her, for various reasons, and i know it was an act in need.
And funny thing, we were together for 6 months. From pretty much day 1, we knew that this is going to be only a sex-relationship, and nothing more. However, as weeks were passing, we have realized that we have much more to do with each other. Thats when things went wrong. Real wrong. 1 month into our relationship, we were already having arguments. She is an actress-to-be (currently studying in the local theatre, where my mother and father are both actors), so needless to say she loves drama. She had trust issues with me, and i always tried to prove her that there is nothing to be afraid of. But i had enough of her constantly trying to guilt me over things, and i was always let down when she kept bringing things up where i went wrong. I tried to sit with her, talk to her, proving her, it didnt work out. I even chose her instead of my family. We are both headstrong – well, im Aries, she is Leo, lol – and the only place where we were not arguing was in the bed. Soon as we stepped out, she always found a reason to make me feel bad. One night, when i finished at work, i was really tired, stressed out – one of those waiter summer nights when u basically hate every human being after a series of douchebags – and she kept writing things to me like im not treating her right, and i dont care about her, so i had enough. I called her, and told her to fuck off. Yeah, i was really angry, i told her some really UGLY things. But this is not my nature, she made me angry and miserable all the time.
This was in 11th of August, and here i am on 3rd of February, on a rainy day – well rainy or not – and i am suffering. Suffering, because i wan her back, but i know thing would be the same. I saw her a few days ago, she didnt even said a hello to me.
I have really had enough of this shit, and i cant let her go, i tried it, it doesnt work out. I knew i was a douchebag a lot of times when i had her, but i always apologized, and all my feelings were true, but hers – not so likely. So yeah, i was the one who had enough of this, and yet im the one who has been suffering for 6 months, constantly. Tried to talk these things out with my family, and my friends, but it didnt help. There are some serious problems with me. And the most needed thing for me right now is a loving girl, but nothing goes my way. Not even a single thing. And i have enough.
Thank you for listening me guys. I’d really appreciate some useful words from you.
P.S Sorry for my f*cked up English skills.

One of the purposes of relationships is to create a safe environment in which to work out those issues so that each person can grow. Being mindful, becoming the master of our stories and good communicators helps however sadly this takes time to develop… and usually don’t learn until a painful breakup. Life demands growth and if the relationship has become negative Love will require a relationship to end – the pain creating the space to do the work.
You want her back but don’t want her back. The probability is that what you want back, and the source of the pain, is the future that you imagined. A realization that you could not make the imagined future happen. You also probably miss the sex.
“The most painful state of being is remembering the future, particularly the one you’ll never have.”― Søren Kierkegaard
I recommend the book by David Richo – How to Be an Adult in Relationships – as a helpful guide

Maybe your suffering of the last six months don’t have much to do with your former girlfriend. Is your suffering recently similar to that of before you met her?
I am wondering why you think you didn’t have a serious relationship with a woman before her or since her. I also wonder how your life is otherwise, living with your parents or alone, plans for the future…

It is safe to say that im lost. And i know that the suffering is not really linked to this girl – not in 100% at least. Im sadly living with my parents, moving out this year, i ve been planning this for 2-3 years, but money never really allowed it. We are a small family, im the only child, we dont really have cousins, grandparents, etc.etc. They are both supportive and we are OK, but they are choking me. Its not that they dont want me to leave, they are really open about it, but you know. I got plans for the future, currently writing my thesis (about the quarterlife crisis, lol) and finishing this June to get my degree. I also want to get my bartender paper, and i have a childhood friend who is waiting for me to have a rent together in Budapest. I was a late bloomer, and when i was younger girls were not really interested in me, because i was way too shy. Now its really changed, i am self-confident, i can get really well with girls, its just i am too picky in long-term relationships, which i dont think is a problem.
I need to get out of this rough patch somehow, and i feel that im changing. All these erratic mood swings day by day, spending a lot of time alone – although i have a really healthy social life, some good friend, lot of people i know, im an extrovert guy – and maybe the problem is that im thinking too much. About my past, about my future, and spending less and less time in the moment.
Feels like i dont even know myself at all.
February 4, 2018 at 6:45 am #190593GáborParticipantOh, and im going to have a date this Friday with a really cute girl. God knows why i invited her, i am not even interested in her, lol. Being lost, as i said.

You wrote that your parents are choking you. It may be helpful to me to understand it better, the nature of that choking..?

February 4, 2018 at 7:16 am #190605GáborParticipantWell, particulary my mother, and i can understand that, im their only child. My father and i are really open minded, we have adult conversations, but my mother still has some difficulties to understand that i have grown up. And yeah, thats why i have to get away.

What behaviors does your mother exhibit toward you that fail to acknowledge that you have grow up?

Well, nothing extraordinary, she is just someone who is a bit introvert, shes not that social person, likes to be on her on. Its just the feeling i have when shes around, i can sense her attitude towards me. She never really asks about things, treats me with a behaviour like yo, take your scarf on cuz its cold, dont do this dont do that. She is this with my father as well, really hard to explain.
February 4, 2018 at 9:30 am #190631GáborParticipantAnd the worst part is that i know the solution. To all these things. I know that she was not the right person for me, and i know that i have a future, and i know that im going to find someone, and i know i know i know. But yet, maybe because im impatient, i feel like im in a prison. Im thinking that maybe these things are not even the things i need. I also quit my job which i hated, and all the constant mood swings are bothering me. Im in an unexplainable blissful state and then im depressed again and this changes like 4 times a day. Then she crosses my mind, and im always thinking about our time being together. I really wanted her to close our relationship with a nice talk – which we couldnt ever manifest. She is giving a fck about me like our time spent together was for nothing. Im not questioning my self-worth because i have a lot of people who are supporting me – including my parents, friends, gurus online, im here for myself as wel and I KNOW the solutions. Its just, i cant take action. All i can think about is calling or visiting her to finally close things how they are. But that wouldnt matter, and i wont ashame myself in front of her ever again. Because she just threw me under the carpet, even if im a short-tempered man and can say bad things to the people i love. Feels like she never even loved me at all, and all the things she said was for nothing.

When your mother doesn’t ask you about things, doesn’t have a conversation with you, that is not because she fails to understand that you grew up. When you were a child you needed her to ask you things, to notice you, to interact with you in a meaningful way. Not just now.
You wrote about your ex girlfriend: “Feels like she never even loved me at all, and all the things she said was for nothing”. We know we are loved when the person claiming to love us, or is … supposed to love us, is actually attending to us, wanting to know how we feel, how we experience life. So that we are not alone.
The mood swings you describe, I remember my mood swings, basically I went from a hellish experience of life to heavenly breaks from that experience. I think the brain, when tormented, has to take times out and during those breaks, there is a feeling of euphoria of sorts.
I don’t know if you experience your life as hellish, but it is definitely a time of suffering for you, as I understand it. I suppose you long for a woman’s love, and not having it from your mother, or from your ex girlfriend, well… you long for it. For love and for freedom from living at home.
“what a crazy little guy i am”- is the title of your thread. I don’t read you as crazy.
