I don;t want to hurt my girlfriend's feelings, but I just don't feel the way I used to!

Question - (19 September 2005) 4 Answers - (Newest, 21 December 2007)
A male , anonymous writes:

Hi

I am 22 years old and recently went overseas for a year to study. My girlfriend and I were very close before I left and now that I am back, we still are. The problem is that for some reason I just don't feel the same way as I used to before I left. We managed to stay together for the whole year (which meant some drifting apart), and didn't see anyone else. I have ambitions to travel and maybe I'm thinking I don't want to get 'stuck' ... I don't want to hurt her feelings but I don't want to keep this stand-off relationship happening the way it is.

Thanks

I think that the response writen on 6 November 2007 is awful. It's clear who really needs to grow up. Learn to respect other as the person who asked the question has done by coming here to try to find a solution to a problem that almost everyone faces at some point in their life. If they didn't then most people wouldn't go through several relationships in their live. It's perfectly natural for things to change.

you need to grow up and figure out what you want in your own little world first before you involve others. It's not fair to her that she has to sit here through your immaturity and wait till YOU decide what YOURE ready to do.....just go kill yourself now do the world a favor

harshbutfair agony auntSometimes you need to be cruel to be kind... Or harsh, to be fair. Good luck, you know that the best thing is to split rather than drag this out.

Well you have to put your feelings aside and think about this girl who has stuck it out with someone who she has no real future with! You owe it to her and yourself to be honest about your feelings. You must do this as soon as possible, and tell her about your personal aspirations, that you have things you want to do for yourself alone and that it isn't another person coming between the two of you.

You will feel better about yourself and this situation knowing that you did the right thing rather than keep her from being with someone who she can fully have a relationship with. Good luck.
