Question - (24 February 2008) 3 Answers - (Newest, 25 February 2008)
A male United States age 22-25, ConfusedBoy123 writes:

I have been in a serious relation for 4 years.During the 3rd year one common friend started coming very close to my gf.She started staying with him more than me on a few occassions, but eventually was with me 90% of the times.Still that made me very unsecure.May be because my past realtionship same thing happened.A guy came close to my X-GF and then she got attracted to him and left me.So that same feeling started coming to me, and I started arguing with her a lot because of this.I sat with her one day during the 3rd year and told her that this guy is causing too many problems and don't you think you should back off a bit.She didn't take me seriously, and so this guy started having feelings for her after a few months and told her.He didn't know we have been dating for 4 years.So when he told her he loves her, she told him that she Likes me, and she sees him only as a very good friend.Still this guy says to her that even if she doesn't love him, he will continue loving her.

So this continued for almost a year and our fights kept on increasing.At the end of 4th year ,our relation was pretty strong, but my fights did start making her have second opinions.I had to leave the country and go abroad for my further studies.As soon as I left, this guy started contacting her more.He asked her to come to his place and got her interested with some projects.I kept quiet since I was too far.She still was pretty loving me.Then in Dec 07, we had a huge fight over the internet.Someone told her I went on dates here,and she just blasted at me ,accusing me of infedility.I have sadly not even looked at any girl after coming here.That made me lose my patience,so I just erupted, and told her everything that i know about she going to his place and stuff.She said to me I fight a lot and she broke up with me for a month.I do realise I fought a lot,n treated her like shit.But all that happened because of this guy coming in between.So, I tried to win her back,I went back to my country to win her, and I did win her.The day I met her, she just came running and hugged me and didn't let go for a long time.I was truly sorry for behaving so bad with her, and I talked with her regarding that.I knew she loved me a lot, but things were a bit rough still.While I was in my country ,she told me on the phone after the first meeting a few days later, she is having second thoughts.So I told her, if you really want to break up, be courageous enough to do it face to face, not over the phone.So I again went to meet her, but as soon as she met me, she again melted.But this time I told her,she better let me go cause, she seems to love that guy now.Here she said he is just a very good friend.She said the only reason she left me was because I fought a lot with her.I assured her I won't treat her so bad,coz I realised what mistake I was doing.Sorry to keep this big, so my question is.

She says she loves me a lot, and wants to marry me.But she is in daily touch with this guy.Phone calls,sms.She did try to lessen the calls to him after I spoke to her, but now this guy keeps calling her all the time.She is finding it hard to back him off, but at the same time she is not ready to just cut all contacts with him.He is treating her like his gf, which I am hating sittin 15000miles away.I am helpless.I want to trust her words, but still there is a doubt.I don't want this competition.When I tried contacting this guy, he was pretty rude to me , and didn't want to meet.Should I confront him, and make things clear to him in a tougher way now? Being a good guy in this case is not helping me anymore.They are just 100miles apart, so he goes to meet her on a few weekends.She has not gone to his city yet to meet him, but if I don't stop this, ,he is surely going to pursue her to go n meet him at his city.I hate long distance relationships!!!Someone please help.

q1605 agony auntAnd one last thing. Don't be the guy that tries to square off with the other guy. If she wasn't available he wouldn't have her where he is. It's between you and her. And only marginally so at that. AS bad as they have you gnashing your teeth at least they are being truthful. She could make you think everything is fine and you could take it like a ton of bricks when you return. At least this way you don't have any unrealistic expectations

Buddy my absolutely hit the nail on the head correct and unwavering advice... did I say its 100 percent dead center bullseye smack dab hit. As fucked up as womens logic can appear to us and you being on the other side of the fucking planet and this will be the last thing you will want to hear and you may not understand why they can be like this BUT I'm a guy and I just got to let you have it with both barrels and that is to say listen to cherry pie. She is so fucking dead on. And if a guy nailed it like that we'ed have no credibility. It makes me want to get shit faced and drunk dial many old flames just to tell them to fuck off one last time. but my friend listen to each and every word .Because she has pushed the envelope of rightness.

But resist the temptation to stew in your juices thinking its some huge plot to fuck with your head. Its got nothing to do with you or them getting one over on you.. Its about them being compatible and you being away and ya'll not having a relationship strong enough to expect fidelity. And my friend I have sat right where you are sitting and its a big bowl of cold moldy chili and you just gotta eat it and like it. Remember this is not a way they have cooked up to mind fuck you. It's about them having a good time with each other and thats about it.

Man i just read it again. Not one spare word. That is the biggest bang for your advice buck. No beating around no illusions and dead fucking on. The only reason I'm putting my 2 cents worth in is so you don't read it and do the guy thing and stick your head in the sand saying aww what does that dumb-ass bitch know. She knows women

Cherriepie agony auntHunny, I know how your girl feels becuase I have guy friends, some that I had slept with in the past that i still talk to. My boyfriend knows about it, but he has no say in it. My friends are my friends, and they are my friends forever. A lot of girls can have friends outside of their main guy, and you have to grow up and accept this or just let her go. Arguing with her is only going to make her mad and go into the arms of her friend.

Have you thought that she probably already has slept with him...and they have a certain understanding. That kind of relationship isn't impossible. They could be fuck-buddies already, how do you know? When your thousands of miles away you can't keep her chained up waiting for you. Shes a woman who has needs too.

But i dont know how you can force them not to see each other, except to threaten to break up with her. You have to love her all you can and trust her. There are no guarantees that she will be faithful to you, but if you give her enough trust you have a better chance to keep her than to continually argue the problem.

Your choice is simple: break up with her or accept this relationhip she has and let her be.
