why all the games..?

February 03, 2018, 01:23:29 AM »
This will be the 4th time i've been through this... .the agonizing decision. If i want her back, i'm going to have to be patient , let her finish her betrayal of me , hope she doesnt fall in love with someone else... .and then IF SHE DOES call... act like nothing bothering me and be a rock for her , even though i want to tell her exactly what i thing of all these stupid headgames... this may take months ... in the meatnimt e.if i start dating, i might forget about her... i might find some eone new... .maybe she already has... .she has neve admitting seeing someone else, but never denied it either... always saying ":" none of your business "... that SO IRRITATING... .
in other words... wait and be a doormat hoping that when someone else dissaponjts her she will come back to me... .how humiliating... .
Realistically, here my problem. I LOVE HER I WANT TO BE WITH HER AND TAKE CARE OF HER... .BUT SHE HAS TREATED ME SOOBADLY, THAT I CANT TAKE HER BACK EVVEN IF SHE BEGS, BECAUSE SHE HAS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT FOR ME EVER... .SO WHY WOULD I WANT TO EVEN DO THAT... .I WOULD BE THEER FOR HER... .BUT SHE HAS BEEN SOO BAD ... I WOULD BE A FOOL FOR EVEN TRYING... .and if i really resovle to just dissapear on her, i've materialized her worst fear... .and I'M 100% SURE ... that if i do date and really have gotten past her, thats exacatly when she will turn up again.
adice... .i've been posted on " after breakup " page... now im second guessing. help... .im in a no win situation... .let her come back at her pace ... i lose she doesnt respect me... .dissapear on her forever.i lose because shes is gone... is ther a potential win here ?

Honestly d you hae a lot in common with my first ( ) replacement,
he was a broken man after 6 months he rang me in desperation about then after earlier threatening to kill me ( no reflection on you here d ), the mediator who was negotiating
some family issues between me an my ex also handled thier NC breakup, he said that the bloke told him
"thank god i escaped"
so my advice run.

Additional Guidelines for this Board: Please read the community guidelines (link here:
https://bpdfamily.com/message_board/index.php?topic=56303.0
). The following guidelines are also in effect for this board:
Please do not urge participants to exit their relationship. Members post here to find solutions to difficult problems. Please allow them the opportunity.
Please do not use this board as a place to complain about your partner without seeking constructive relationship advice. We are here to find solutions. It is a given that our partners are difficult.
We are not victims and this board is not about right and wrong. Please do not take sides in couples disputes or seek to have other members agree, support or defend your position in your relationship disputes. This will only serve to polarize matters in your real life and make resolution further out of reach.
