Need advice!
I was dating a girl for 7 months, all was good, we work together. We met my family this summer, and we were going to meet her family on Xmas.
A month ago, she was going through a lot of stress, work, issues with her daughter, and also semi serious health issues where cancer could have been diagnosed. She wasn't feeling like having as much sex maybe only once or twice a week. Instead of supporting her, I kept pushing for sex every day, tried to see her more often, became a bit insecure and needy and she pulled back 2 weeks or so.
We talked and things went back to normal.
One weekend we were having a great night, dinner, cuddling etc, but she didn't want to have sex and I flipped, we had a massive fight, I screamed, and I pushed her and she took it as violence even tho it wasn't in my mind. She kicked me out of her house and asked me space to think of she wanted to continue.
I kept calling her for 5 days asking for her to come back and didn't give her time to think. On the 6th day I showed up at her place to talk, rang the bell she didn't open. Finally she came outside and told me I couldn't wait and it's all over now.
We work together and I spoke to her 2 days after going over to her house. She said things weren't going good for 1 month as I explained above but pushing her at her house, disrespect her and showing up at her place like a crazy person was the end for her. She claims she has no feelings for me now, that I destroyed them with my actions.
After this talk face to face, I have been in no contact for 2 days. Do I have a chance here? What should I do?
My son is coming to visit me from a broad in 3 weeks and she said he could sleep over her place with her daughter for few nights. I'm guessing we are all four going for lunch at least.
Plan of action?
OP, in 2019 you lost control of yourself and expressed your anger and frustration by getting physical and ‘pushing’ her.
Your demonstrating your inability to control yourself scared her. Understandably so. She however was still hanging in there, but barely. Unfortunately, rather than rebuilding her capacity to once again feel safe with you, you gave her more experiences, of your lack of self/impulse control. Even if she had wanted to, she could no longer be with you, at that point.
If you are unable to control your own impulses, as a physically dominant man, there is NO way she, as a less physically dominant female, can ever truly feel safe and relaxed with you.
It’s a sad story for all involved. Take it and learn from it. Use it to grow.
OP I suggest you choose take your focus off her, to better yourself and better your life. I believe it would serve you more than you would imagine, for you to get meaningful professional help, to reflect upon and grow out of YOUR;
*Inability to control yourself when triggered
*Expressing your anger physically (shoving’ a woman)
*Defaulting to perceiving through the eyes of your own victim mentality
*Lack of true empathy, for each of the others involved
*Seemingly reflexive and/or manipulative temper tantrum responses, when you don’t get life the way you want
This isn’t just about you losing control in 2019, as if it was a singular incident that ruined everything. You have continued to display a lack of impulse control and more. It is time to self reflect deeply if you want true change in your life. The frustration, upset and even heartbreak you experienced and continue to experience will be repeated with others, in some form, until you get the help needed, to truly transform yourself.
In addition, until you can truly shift your perspective from defaulting to a victim mentality, to one of fully empowered self responsibility, true happiness will always remain elusive to you.
You are unaware of what you don’t see and know about yourself and relationships, yet. That is how life is. There will always be those with greater life experience and greater insight than we have had yet. When asked, they can help shine a light forward for us, if we allow. A good guide can help you see what you might not right now. They can help you to grow to new heights. IMHO, the sooner you deeply reflect and also engage meaningful professional help the sooner you can experience life anew.
I truly wish you and your son the best. If you hesitate to engage meaningful help for your self, reconsider doing so you can become an ever greater Father and Man,
for your son.
