I’m gonna come at this really abrasively, but I want you to understand I wouldn’t do anything or say anything I didn’t truly believe you could handle or even already knew but disillusioned yourself from seeing it.
I believe if I’m soft on you and sugarcoat shit it will leave you in a comfortable spot, however not ultimately solving a damn thing, and wont serve to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future. I can’t ignore the fact that a great deal of your problems are built on a foundation of ideals, which is precisely why they collapsed. Because it wasn’t real cement, I was more like play-dough.
If you ran into a burning house to save a woman and she said you looked like the spitting image of her dead husband and you 2 proceeded to engage in durable life-long and satisfying relationship, that would be called FATE.
Because in the course of FATE you have an essential timeline that defined it to be so. Ie: AFter you've been with her for 10-15 years you can then say "it was fate". But even so it wouldnt be an accurate way of interpreting reality.
So in the future, choose the word “luck”, you met each other through LUCK. But even “luck” is a bad way of looking at it. The best way to interpret it is you met through a random prevalence.
People like words like “fate” because it mystifies the initial encounter, increase emotions, and satisfies a lot of people’s core idealizations of how loves suppose to be. A lot because that’s how society has brainwashed us through books and movies.
Now the “incredible connection”. You’ve already demonstrated this fate outlook which will add to the strength of a perceived connection between 2 people. We know if we think logically however LOVE did not account for the connection. So it was most likely a mix of lust, random prevalence, a few commonalities, and a emotions because the connection occurred in a high state of incertitude. Uncertainty always increases emotions. Which is why men tell each other to keep their woman on their toes. Again if there was any REAL connection besides lust and other factors, anything really bonding that existed, you 2 would no doubt be together right now.
Successful in her career, struggling in her real life. A high degree of contradiction which indicates high potential lack of self-esteem. Red flag was thrown up, you chose to neglect it.
Again more signs she’s not secure, secure woman don’t get involved in relationships outta obligation. Problem is attraction is not a choice. And you cant understand why she chose to be attracted to him. Simple, she DIDN’T. If she’s attracted to him she cant logically think her way out of those emotions. And the fact that he seems a little unstable probably fueled her attraction even more. Woman love guys who create EMOTION for them. It doesn’t always matter whether the emotions are good or bad. A swing of emotions makes people addicted to things, like gambling. The more intense and rapid the change from + to – emotions the more addictive. He may have been a loser but her was probably good at creating drama or emotional situations that kept her stuck on him.
I said she was probably acting out of obligation before but now it becomes a pattern. “ONE MORE CHANCE” = she really still has feelings for him, she’s telling you “I owe it to him” to ease the blow on you instead of saying “I still love him but I want you to hang around and wait for me like a tool” even if she claims other words and tries reverse psychology like “maybe you should move on”.
She demonstrated to you she was hung up on 2 guys. You took advantage of the power of novelty to influence her (gifts, passionate letters, all the new things relationships are born on) However she has demonstrated thoroughly she is EXTREMELY confused, unsure of what she wants, and probably addicted to the DRAMA and EMOTIONS both of you are creating for her by your human game of tug-a-war.
She’s communicating to you your basically a more stable person with goals but at the same time disqualifying you because you two are too *different*. I would have called her out on her BS right at that moment. “Well I can help you make up your mind… peace bitch, im out”. Watch how fvcking fast she comes running back. So its her, her pothead bf, and you a stable person with goals and drives who’s demonstrated your willing to tolerate a certain degree of BS from her now. She verbalizes she cant “feel strong by herself” its time for you guys to spend a week together. At this point your in way too deep. Shes keeping YOU on YOUR toes and not the other way around, your allowing her to set you up for disaster.
You haven’t laid down any rules or boundaries with her.
Your using her confusion to fuel your desire to seduce and conquer her (ignore the choice of words if its offensive)
This is a competition of the Venusians Arts.
At this point she exercises no concern over what she says to you or how it will affect you, shes working to feed and reinforce that *foundation of ideals* she helped create in the beginning, maybe because subconsciously she realizes it will collapse soon if she doesn’t.
But MORE THAN ANYTHING. Your with this woman for HOW LONG??!!
She’s talking about a “life with you” a “future with you” “your house feeling like HER fvcking home??!!!!!”. WTF?!?!?!
I would have kicked her psycho ass out at the second, or apologized for being so blatantly irresponsible and idealistic and leading her on.
YOU NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER EVER start talking about your future with someone you haven’t even REALLY and TRULY even been with yet.
They say “love is blind” well that is true and doesn’t apply here but the quote “lust is blind” does. She pulled the wool over your eyes, you both pulled it over each others eyes.
I am not meaning to anger you, I’m saying take a REALISTIC look at all this shit. Take all your ideals and flush them out the fvcking toilet this second. They are killing you. Your with a confused ass chick who’s been with you for not even a week and shes feeding the shit out of YOUR ego because she doesn’t even have one.
Same idealistic BS as above.
I would have said “well… you have to, now get out” this whole ordeal just sounds so emotionally draining and serious that you guys don’t even joke with each other. Curious if she would have started crying had you said that. It’s a little test I use on secure girls called “sarcasm” the insecure ones cant handle it as simple as it is, the ones who laugh can stay.
She was nervous about HER talking to HIM because she didnt have faith in HERSELF and that idea that she really KNEW what SHE wanted.
Now you see the matrix, all this crap you’ve been telling yourself about this guy like “hes a pothead, hes a piece of shit, etc” YET she wants to be with him.
Why?
First understand it rarely has to do with who the *better person* is.
Because he may be a piece of shit to you, and maybe even her, but she’s responding to emotions she cant control. I’ll conclude at the end..
You say you don’t want to believe she meant any of it. Id be willing to submit she meant more than you expect she did because you are bitter to a degree right now and probably still highly idealistic about the situation like “what if she calls me and wants to persue something? What should I do?”
Understand woman are attracted to emotions. If you can learn how to manufacture not CONSISTENT emotions but INCONSISTENT emotions, you will become the male form of heroin.
This is hard for a lot of people to grasp.
When you give woman gifts and love letters, and than you hang out with her and unquestionably accept everything she says without dispute, like “she wants to be a part of your future” blah blah
You are poisoning the seed of attraction.
How often did you confront her?
Like when you guys talked on the phone for 5 hours and all these wonderful things about your future were brought up, who brought them up? Because I’ll tell you rule number one DO NOT discuss your future with a girl unless your on the minimum of a 10th date with her, and even so discuss only the immediate future like tomorrow. If she brings it up you instantly confront her be real with her, because its not realistic or mature to plan out your future with someone so novel in your life.
I’m trying to refine or clarify a few things that really bothered me.
Its comparable to a woman saying “I love you” after the 3rd or 4th date. In which I’ll respond something along the lines of “you’re an idiot”. How in the **** can you plan anything with someone you haven’t been with for a minimum of a few years? Or even tell you them you love them?
Even when your married to someone for 25 years you STILL don’t really know them like you think you do. All you know is what they choose to show you.
This is why the divorce rate in this country is so high. Because people don’t teach how to love in school, we learn it from movies, the media, and books. We learn it from our parents who read the same books, and watched the same movies, and read the same newspapers.
Its all idealistic bullshit.
And it often takes many people a lifetime of heartache and near suicide before they finally get a realistic grasp of what love really is.
I DID not intend to offend you, or ridicule you. I’m trying to help rid you of certain mindsets, notions and ideals many people have that are the poisonous roots of these flowering love spells that look like tulips and roses initially, than we soon realize they were really dandelions, these little fvcking weeds we chose not to pull out and now they devoured the garden and destroyed everything.
Just next time all I recommend is drop the ideals, and what naturally will happen when you do this is the next time you meet someone your gonna ask yourself “where the fvck is the connection or the spark?”
Its inside the both of you charging, when the static builds and true commonalities are established, it will fired off not as a little random static discharge from your rug to the doorknob, but a bolt of lighting straight between each others hearts.
I sincerely hope some of this helped, because I am a looser and just wasted 45 mins of my Saturday night typing the shit.
Much luck brotha.
