Question - (27 July 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 27 July 2010)
A male Singapore age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Okay. There's this girl who is in a relationship for 5 years with her bf. She tells me her relationship is unhealthy. Her guy is very possessive, she got hurt by him emotionally many times and he has made her cry before. She admits she has on and off feelings towards me for the past year. She doesn't want to leave him even though knowing the nature of her relationship. She have frequent fights with him. They have broke up and patched back many times. She tells me its hard to forget him but she deserves someone better. Why doesn't she realise that? Once she told me she deserves someone better but why she is still staying in this relationship? She likes me but still asks me to move on because she doesn't want to leave him. Why is she still staying even though knowing the nature of her relationship? And how long can this last?

2old4this agony auntFor one, if she really wanted to leave him she would. She hasn't hit that " I can't take it anymore " point in her relationship. She obviously loves him for who knows what reason, but she does. My advice is to back off some and let her be for now. Don't become her confidant in this because you will fall into that friend only zone. Kind of keep tabs on the situation because you don't want to miss your chance. But, don't be the rebound either. If and when she breaks with him she is going to need time to get past him. If you come up too soon then you will not last either.
