girls i need a bit of advice please i have been seeing someone for a few months, we have broken up once or twice due to various things happening around us but we got together again two weeks ago but i let her down last week and lied to her about something (i didnt cheat on her but it was a bad lie) she doesnt want to know me now and it has been a week, i have texted her over and over that i love her and i am sorry about hurting her and i sent her flowers to say i so sorry about lying to her and i swore i would never do it again. she thanked me for the flowers but she still says its over .... i realise i love her with all my heart....is there anything else i can do to show her how much she means to me? | |

I'm not a girl, but I'm gay,so at this time of night, I'm the best you'll get.
If you love her, you can show her how much by respecting her wishes. If things are meant to work out -- later -- let her initiate it. You've already communicated in words and deed how you feel. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I'm curious, though, what act is so reprehensible that you can't share it even anonymously via the internet?
...And if it's THAT bad, would you really expect her to forgive it? Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Don't try to figure out how to get her back...just try to figure out the best way to love her. .. [Edited 10/6/05 2:24am] | |

Why don't you try following her around and waiting outside her house and stuff? She's bound to take you back then. | |

...And if it's THAT bad, would you really expect her to forgive it? its a long story.....i left my partner because i wanted to be with her, i was staying in my friends flat for a month but during this time, she wasnt sure weather she wanted another relationship again so soon(her ex husband treated her badly and hit her) ...i took this into consideration and gave her some time to think, she decided she did want me and we went out for about 2 weeks before she suddenly went cold on me again and told me it was over.....i was floored by this and hit a real downer and decided to go back to my partner and to see my wee boy (but my partner and me are over)...after a few days, she contacts me and tells me she is so sorry and misses me and wants to try again.....i am delighted and go and see her for the next few days but i had not yet moved back into my friends house at this point, i just had not got round to it. .....anyway she found out that i had not moved back into my pals flat, i was still staying at my ex partners house and since then, she does not want to know me..... .....the thing is, she has messed me about for weeks while i am sitting in my pals flat and then tells me its over, i know i lied but i think there are mitagating circumstances behind it.....she knows i am not sleeping with my ex partner but she still wont forgive me.... ..... .... i know some of you might read this and say she is not worth the hassle or it is a complete mess but i do love her to bits [Edited 10/6/05 2:37am] [Edited 10/6/05 2:38am] [Edited 10/6/05 2:41am] | |

Bob, I hear your circumstances and, yeah, it sounds a bit messy.
As a kneejerk reaction, I'd only say things seem kind of emotionally and circumstantially chaotic for the both of you. I believe that you have deep feelings for her, but my advice remains the same. Give her time. Give her space. Hell, give yourself time and space! I think when and if this thing works out between you, it'll only work out when some of the rebounding, moving in and out of peoples' lives, etc. has settled. It doesn't sound good for anyone right now. In the meantime, see your son a lot and take care of the two of you. My prayers go out to you. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Brother, I sympathize. Once, within the period of seven weeks, I lost my dad to Alzheimer's disease, my job to a bad economy, my car to an accident I caused because my antidepressants put me to sleep behind the wheel, and nearly my marriage because I'd finally -- after nearly a decade -- grown the balls (and the respect) to come out of the closet to my wife. The only thing I thought I had left was a very deep, albeit inappropriate, friendship I had at the time with someone I cared for profoundly. This person was my air. When I saw the appropriateness of our parting ways, it was the tipping point that literally drove me to the brink of suicide. And not a day has passed since that I haven't thought about that person. But without waxing philosophical or evangelical, know what got me through? Aside from a kick-ass wife, two things primarily: 1) My kid! 2) The fact that love looms! Whether it be with your girlfriend's return, with someone else or with yourself, your son and God (if you're a believer), I promise you'll experience love again. AND you'll be in a more mature place to give and get it! ...OK, let me stop. I'm starting to sound like friggin' Maya Angelou. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Lammastide and Byron have given you excellent advice. You might consider letting her know that you are taking time to sort your life out and that you still care. Let her know that you'll contact her after a while to see if she's changed her mind but that you'll live with her decision then.
I think she must care about you to have been hurt this badly by this lie.She probably is wary of being hurt again by anyone .How long has it been since her divorce? It takes a while to get through something like that, especially the abuse. If her ex was hitting her, you can bet he was emotionally abusing her even more. When she found out you lied she probably got all those awful feelings back again,If you give it time, she may realize that you're a good guy and she has some control over the situation and she may be willing to give it another try.

Unfortunately,she needs time to mend from all that. It's hard, I know, but time is what will make the difference.She needs to learn to trust again and that can take a while, if it happens at all.

I think you really need to take some time out from the whole situation and figure out what you really want. Most women don't particularly want men to keep calling them all the time anyway (well, we want it but we lose interest when they do). She may well rethink what she wants too if you give her time but I'm certain that if you keep calling you've lost the battle. So, my advice would be to live apart from both women for at least 3 weeks or so and concentrate on building your relationship with your son who, I'm sure, needs you more right now than anyone. I hope it works out | |

[Edited 10/6/05 2:24am] i suggest u take the energy u feel 4 her and focus it on ur own growth; i say that in brotherly love (((blackbob))). i know 4 myself i highly value 'truth' in a relationship. once it's broken it isn't easily mended. it is possible 2 mend, however pushing urself on her will only push her farther away at this point. like the gentlemen said... if u truly love her respect her wishes. light, love & peace.

the best thing to do is to just leave her alone. if you keep sending flowers and texting her it may get on her nerves then she'll be sick of you. just give her room and space. i don't know the girl but i'm speaking from experience that i'm going through right now. the more my ex wont leave me alone the more i can't stand his ass | |
