So_Very_Confused agony auntI think its time to end this relationship.

your request was not unreasonable and I think she wants out and does not know how to tell you so she's making it so you will leave her.

It wasn't your words that buried this relationship, it sounds to me that she was just losing interest in you full stop and she used your words and turned them into an excuse to say "That's it, enough is enough". I'm gonna take a guess and say it ISN'T that you're not her type, surly she would know that before agreeing to a relationship with you. Its possible she is simply a fake and heartless user of men, and she's gotten from you whatever it was she set out to get.

By all means if you think its possible to win her over again then its well within your right to do so, just try not to get your hopes up, and that way you won't get any more hurt or disappointed than you are now. Just think of it as your last try to win her back and if it doesn't work, at least you won't go away wondering "what if", but just do your best to move on then.

Daisy_Daisy agony auntI think, unfortunately, she does want to break up, and you'll have to accept it. I am sure it wasn't your request for her to stop playing about on the phone as that was very reasonable. It sounds like she was already unhappy. Being irritable with you, not wanting your affection etc, are ways for her to keep you at arms length.

She sounds like a bit of an unhappy person, staying at home not working, sleeping at odd hours that must surely restrict her social life (getting up at 4pm!).

Maybe resolve not to contact her for a week or so and use that time to reassess things from your point of view. Is it really such a great relationship? If you do break up, I am sure you can and will be feeling a lot happier in a short while, and you'll look back on this relationship and realise it wasn't all you thought it was.

By not contacting her you might also regain her interest, but it probably won't be long til she goes back to her old ways of being unaffectionate and irritable.

Anyway you didn't do anything wrong so stop blaming yourself for this row.

Honeypie agony auntI think it was rather logical and rational for you to ask that and for her to comply. However, I think she has been holding the more power in the relationship for a long time.

You need to let her go. She seems to be happy with having this relationship over with (I'm sorry to say).

Find your self a local girl. Someone who wants to same things as you and who ACTUALLY enjoy your company.

A female reader, janniepeg Canada +, writes (30 December 2012):

janniepeg agony auntShe's very mean. She's obviously bored with your conversations. She didn't know how to cut it off so she is distracting herself to avoid that stuck feeling. Whenever you feel like someone does not want to stay on the phone just gently say good night. She does not see you as a husband but likes the tender loving care you give her. Very selfish. You can't change her mind. She didn't want to marry you maybe because her family had other plans for her, maybe she doesn't want to move to your city. NOT because you told her not to talk online with others. You two had a different pace in this relationship. You want to marry her while she is just having fun dating you. Unless a girl wants to get serious with you it is a waste of breath to cry over a girl who wants nothing more.
