Mack gave you good advice in the other thread. I'm gonna give the same advice in my own way. She's not an emotionally healthy person. She can't just give in a straightforward manner, she has to do it in a fucked up way to protect herself. Nothin' wrong with hittin' that, but if you wanna ride that merry-go-round, be prepared to jump off. When you talk about LTR stuff, my instinct is you're probably barking up the wrong tree. If you go for LTR anyways and find yourself 'doing drama' then you need to have the strength to walk away.
Short course on emotional health:
- Be honest with yourself about your own baggage. Don't lie to yourself about it. Understand your problems. Work through them. Find solutions.
- Do not allow emotionally unhealthy people into your life. Get them OUT. Keep them out.
There, that's it. Know yourself, and have standards. Problems solved.
Man, I feel that entirely, and I realized she's just gonna continue this shit cause someone, somewhere along the line hurt her and made her insecure. The thing is, I've worked through most of my own baggage, and have my problems, for the most part under control. All I know is, she makes me happy, I make her happy, and I'm very into her for more than just sex. And for me...that's pretty rare as of late. But, of course, if necessary, I will GTFO out of there, but even with the great advice you just gave, I'm going to be a stubborn kid in this case and let this run it's course, if it develops into something and she's capable of opening herself up, then awesome, if it develops and she stays hot-and-cold to the point I can't deal with it, I end it immediately. If nothing happens, she wants to stay casual, I decide I want to stay casual, or either of us meet someone else, then so be it, that's how it worked it. I'm keeping it realistic, but I still like her enough that I want to try.
