I have just come out of a relatively short relationship with a girl I really thought I could settle with. It left me reeling.
We were so good together, but her reasons were that "we argue too much for the honeymoon period" and I am too insecure. Basically we argued once when she thought me saying "I would love to try more things" meant I was saying "You suck in bed and I am not satisfied" but we cleared it up. Then I told her I was a bit uncomfortable with her friendship with a guy she has history with (this guy is in a relationship now), but she asked me if I was ok with them hanging out, I was honest and said I had natural misgivings any guy would have but I trusted her and would suck it up and deal with it, I am NOT a controlling person. She must have smelled neediness, though I don't blame myself or think I did anything majorly wrong.
I must have given off more needy vibes somehow, apparently she feels in addition to our relationship getting too heated she feels she worries about upsetting me constantly and she can't be herself. The dumping at 4am made me feel she must have done something guilty, but she vehemently denied this and it is against my judgement of her character since it took me a month and a half to sleep with her and she is an all round good girl, she told me that she couldn't bare to wait to do it in person and she is very shy, doesn't make it suck any less. But you can never be sure, I would rather not know or think about it. I am just sharing what happened to unload the pressure of keeping it to myself. She also told me "You don't trust me or like me enough and you know I'm not lying deep down, I want to settle down and have kids someday but you don't trust me" I told her to stop telling me how I feel and that I was down with laying a foundation for a serious relationship, I was committed basically.
I didn't beg or plead, though things got a bit emotional and I said that I cannot believe she is just throwing it all away when we seemed so good and people argue and you work through that and no relationship is perfect. But I stopped attempting rational arguments since they are futile. She has made up her mind, I thought things were slightly cooler after an argument but never saw this coming. I've accepted the decision and have been no contact since sunday afternoon. Again, she says everything became too much for her and I do believe her and I think this reeks of insecurity on her part, but what can I do? I can't change anything that happened.
She fed me the false hope shit like "Maybe its not for good, but we need space right now" but I was having none of it. Told her I couldn't be friends with her as it is less than what I want and would be too painful.
My last words were along the lines of "I thought we had something good, but this is your decision and I am accepting it, smart people move forward, only fools wait around looking for answers. Take care of yourself but I am getting on with my life without you in it" To which she said she would miss me, but whatever.
Sorry if this is all rambled nonsense, but I thought I would just share, writing it out can be therapeutic and I actually feel fine 90% of the time since I know I can't pick at the wound and have no means of contacting her. It's easy to go into NC with the hope that it will win her back, I don't think that will happen and I am not expecting it. I am getting over this girl and moving on and NC is the best way.
She must have been thinking about it for a while, things seemed to cool off a little with a hectic work schedule but damn I didn't expect it. I think I definitely pushed her away a little, but I am not blaming myself, it's a part of life and it sucks, but I know I will be fine.
There are many more nuances that I can't express easily, I think its a combination of things, and I can be a bit needy when I get serious and I have a certain naivete about relationships.
Thanks for reading guys. Onwards and upwards
