im new but i have been reading this forum for a while... so i decided to join.
my situation: We are both in late 20's and together for little more then a year.
So we were out celebrating new year and she was drunk... I heard her say some stuff that really made me think.
She was talking to one of my friends and i do not know the whole story but she said that her priorities are like that 'girl friends FIRST, boyfriend (me) second'... the thing is that i actually figured that out pretty soon into relationship and thought she needs little more time to fall for me but it hasnt changed much. For an example - there were many occasions when she rather spent her time with her girl friends (having drinks or a ladies night out) then with me.The other thing that hurt me much worse is that she said to my friend that she wants to have a baby in the next 2 years and Im gonna be a father or someone else will be.
I mean after hearing this I feel like Im completely unimportant as a person/boyfriend - just a mean to her end, just a tool for her desires... And we have never even discussed topic like that before.
And from time to time im feeling and Im pretty certain that she doesnt give a s**t what i want, my desires and wishes are unimportant and disposable... its like she is so self centered she doesnt actually see that or she does and is just plain selfish...
Are those statements in your opinion strange or am I overreacting? its like she is settling for 'Mr good enough' and is not really into me as a person - im thinking like that because of the frequency of sex too. But its important for her to have a relationship and have me playing a role of a boyfriend on display for her family and friends when it suits her... and dont ask me about the sex. she is not into it and Im getting it like twice a month (we do not live together). She always find something more appealing to do when she is invited or she she needs some convincing to come. You are asking me I m staying with her right? Because I do not have relationship experiences and because she is my 1st longterm/serious gf. I cant let her go. Beside that she is affectionate with me when we are together - she often initiates dates (when it suits HER of course), we hear each other every day, she initiates hand holding and kissing, buying me stuff from time to time, paying for dinner like half the time when we are eating out, etc... dont know what to do.
Any experiences regarding this topic?
