I dont feel the same

13
Share

Ive been in a relationship for over 2 years now but I dont feel the same as i did towards her anymore. Little things are annoying me and Im just not happy. We are looking to move in together which I really dont want to do because I know it will be a nightmare. Im not sure whether to ride it out or end it. I dont want to hurt her.

I used to have commitment issues and we have split over these before. We got back together because I really did love her but its less than a year since that and now Im doubting whether I want a future with her. She will think its a commitment ‘thing’ again but it isnt.

Any advice would be great.

If you don’t love her enough to want to move in with her and your feelings have changed, you need to be honest with her and yourself. Repressing how you feel won’t change the truth.

You’ve been with her a long time& obviously don’t want to hurt her as you care about her; that’s understandable. But you have to realize the longer you wait to tell the truth the harder it gets. And the more painful for her. If you move in with her and she has no idea how you really feel, she probably will expect marriage at some stage. Even if you’re using precautions, she could still get pregnant. Then you’d be truly trapped.

If you really care for this woman, the least you owe her is the truth. You might think you’re sparing her by waiting but the reality is the longer you wait the MORE hurt she will be when you decide to end things. The more time goes by the more she will feel attached to you& have invested in this relationship, then it will be FAR more painful for her when things end. You will also have robbed of more time she could have used to heal from this breakup and find someone better suited to her.

Be brave and tell her the truth. Tell her that it’s not a commitment issue; it’s about your inability to commit to HER and that you can’t go further in this relationship as you find so many things wrong in it; the fault is not with her or with you; it’s not about blame. It’s about incompatibility.

Also, put yourself in HER shoes so you see the situation in its proper perspective: If YOU were deeply in love with someone and SHE wanted to end it, would you rather she told you the truth BEFORE you moved in together? Or would you prefer she waited until AFTER you live together and after you’ve invested all your time, effort, and emotion into this relationship?

If you really care for this woman, the least you owe her is the truth. It WILL be hard on her and it WILL take time for her to get over it. But she will. It’s far kinder to do the right thing now than to wait longer; waiting longer only increases her feelings for you and the pain she will feel when it ends. It’s only a matter of time before it ends as you can’t deny your true feelings forever. Remember you CAN care about someone deeply but know in your heart it’s not meant to be. The longer you wait on a dead-end relationship hoping things will change, the more heartbreaking it will be for BOTH of you when you tell her it’s over.

I know its a clishe, but honesty is the best policy, if you really cant see a future with this woman then theres really nowhere to go, especally if youve been in this relationship for that long, if you stay with her and resent her for it and by annoyed all the time that will just hurt her more, be stright up and honest, after all, its much better to do that and not dance around it.

Just say to the girl that you want some space for a bit because you want to be alone and hopefully she would be the same way and then go on holiday with your mates and tell her to do the same and enjoy your life your only young once and you only live one life but don’t waste it

i liked lisa’s advice, tell her the truth. but you know what if you have a typical girl in hand then she probably would never understand it.

i define love as the complete acceptance of a person irrespective of the fearures that best define them from within and without. make a list of things of what you like and dont like about her and see which side weighs more.

Bottom line right here: You don’t love her anymore.

That’s your answer ^^ right there my friend.

You’ve admitted how you really feel, so now all you have to do really is tell her. It’s sad but you should never force yourself to be with someone you just don’t care deeply about. It’s not fair on the both of you, so I urge you to end it now before things get ugly.

All the best.

I think that your girlfriend has to know the truth. Just imagine that you were at her place : what would you prefer ? To know that your girlfriend doesn’t really love you anymore or think that she loves you whereas she is lying ?
You should tell her what do you really feel, you should wonder what do you really want, if you want to stay with her or no, and wonder why don’t you feel the same things about her than before. It’s true that maybe she will be hurting but if you don’t make something it will be worse, because she will make wrong hopes and she needs to know the truth. Besides, moving with someone is an important decision, you have to think seriously about it.
We just have one life so we have to make sure to not have any regrets even if some decisions are difficult to take.
I hope that what I said could help you ! Good luck !
