I pretty sure my girlfriend isn't cheating, but I'm about to lose my girlfriend of three years because she says she doesn't feel quite "in love" with me anymore. I got her using some of these forums hence why I haven't been here in 3 years. Our relationship has been stale for a bit and we just aren't having as much fun anymore. I am still in love with her and need advice on what to do. She is gone for two weeks and I will pick her up at the airport and I need to know how to revive things everywhere. We're like an unhappy married couple with a boring sex life, and just not enjoying each other's company in general. Everytime I try and revive things with verbal reassuarance she wants to shoot it down like she really wants to push for a break or she's real adament this time. What are your suggestions? Thanks guys...

romanticize her

be romantic. she may thinking your a joke cuz you have been together for so long and maybe she sees no future. propose to her may be a revival. assure her that there is a future.

The bad thing is that her IL is definitely down. The good thing is that YOU had been able to set her IL high since she decided to date you in the first place.

What many of us tend to do in LTRs is to become complacent and unintentionally taking each other for granted. We get into a comfortable place (better known as a rut) and we just trudge on.

The key is to think back to what we were doing when our partner's IL was high. What was our attitude, what was our mindset, what were our actions, what did we do to attract this woman in the first place and what do we need to get back to that place?

I think you have the right mindset and attitude but it sounds like your girl doesn't want to play along. So first reacquaint yourself with the three things that women need to keep their IL high; affection, romance and respect.

Whatever you do concerning your GF should fall into one of those categories. Remember when you were on the hunt and what you did to get her attention. What did you guys do together? Whatever it was, you need to get her back into that state of mind by doing those things again. The key is to take it slowly, if you rush it you will be inadvertently disrespecting her.

Show her affection by doing little thing for no apparent reason and NOT making a big deal out of it. Simple things like giving her a kiss on her cheek, taking her hand to lead her across the street, give her a complement that wouldn't usually be noticed. Don't pour these things on but take it easy like a DJ normally does.

Be James Bond in the romance department. Take her out on a date, you don't necessarily need to drop a bundle to do it either. What you need to do is take time to plan something nice. Anyone can buy a dozen roses or make a dinner reservation at a 5 star restaurant. It takes someone with creativity to find the perfect route to a cute little town and where to have a perfect picnic in an out of the way spot that you can call your "special spot" because the nearby playground has the same type of tire swings that she loved to play on while she was a little girl.
Get my drift? ;)

Be a DJ, be in control, steer your relationship back on track. Keep a positive attitude and methodically show her why she should be your GF.

I just breezed through this thread so forgive me if this advice was already given... and I'm no expert on LTRs... it's time you confronted her, voiced your concerns, and made it clear to her you're giving some thought to breaking up. Do it nicely, but MANLY... not like "I dunno things don't seem to be going good do you want to maybe take some time off?"... do it like "I'm concerned about this trust issue and I'm not willing to continue this relationship if we can't do something about it. You have two choices and I'm not going to stick around forever if you can't make up your mind."

And I remember David DeAngelo saying something about C/F and such if used correctly can revive a relationship... although he also admits he's not a LTR expert.

And I just read Fransisco's post while previewing mine and that seems promising too... I dunno you're call good luck!

Yeah Dude, you definatly need to walk away clean. Make her think thats what you wanna do. Start having fun, doing exactly what you wanna do, I know you want her, but believe me you gotta do this. It's really your only chance to keep her, and even then it's not much of a chance.

Don't be logical. Don't be sad, at least not on the outside, and especially around her. Get some new clothes, trade that car up...

Stand her up if you get the chance. No...Really.

I know 3 years is too long to toss it all away, but women don't look at it that way.

Sorry, I know it sucks, I got the t-shirt...

My take is this..when a romance of 3 years is dying down..and a woman is initiating the break up (women HATE being alone!!!!!)

Chances are..she has another guy already lined up..and is seeking independence so she can date said guy..

I agree with the guys above..next HER before she does it to you..

I hate to tell ya, but.. stick a fork in it. It's done. End it before she does, that way you walk away with your dignity.


I'm in a good mood tonight, so I dug up an old DD Newsletter that I feel would helpful in your situation.


Excerpt:


IF THINGS GET BAD, BREAK UP FIRST

Now I'm going to REALLY stick my neck out.

This one is going to make the little baby
hairs stand up on the backs of necks of women
all over the world...

If you find yourself in one of these bad
situations that I mentioned above, and you
sense that the woman in your life is about to
leave, then BREAK UP WITH HER FIRST.

DO IT.

Don't hesitate.

Cut the line.

Hit the road.

No matter what your emotions tell you to
do, you have to end it FIRST.

If you want to have ANY chance of having
things work out in the LONG RUN, then you
need to TAKE CONTROL of the situation, and
BREAK UP WITH HER.

From this position, you will then be able
to see things more clearly, and she will be
about 100 times more likely to want to work
things out with you.

If you REALLY want to increase your chances
of having things work out, then you should
also start dating other women as well.

But let's not talk too much about that,
because I'm already in the danger zone here.

If you take the time to think about it,
you'll realize that breaking up with her
FIRST is the best possible thing you can do.

As you've heard me say quite a few times,
it's important to give a woman the GIFT of
MISSING YOU.

Never is it more important than in one of
THESE situations.

I know, this is a damn hard thing to do
when you're in the heat of the moment... but
if you don't do it, you'll probably wind up
with her leaving... and you feeling that
lame POWERLESS feeling that I described
earlier.

OK, so to wrap, let me talk about one
more thing...

As I mentioned before, the REAL thing that
causes women to LEAVE comes down to the man in
her life not understanding ATTRACTION and how
to make her FEEL IT for him.

And, as I mentioned, no woman is EVER going
to TELL this to you.

Instead, she's just going to LEAVE.

When I first started learning all of this
stuff about how to be successful with women and
dating, I had NO IDEA that I would wind up solving
the mystery of why women LEAVE men.

I was only looking for the answer to how to get
a woman in the first place... I never even thought
about KEEPING one once I got her...

But now I realize that this particular topic
usually winds up being the most important one,
because once you find that amazing woman, and
get something good going, you certainly don't want
to LOSE her.

And when you find yourself in the situation,
and you realize that the woman you have is about
to leave... you would basically do ANYTHING to
stop it.

Of course, at that point it's usually TOO
LATE to do anything... which sucks.

So one of the most important things you can do
RIGHT NOW in your life is to learn how and why
women feel ATTRACTION for some men... and how to
make women feel it for you.

This one looks pretty bad Frank. Have been on the receiving end of this myself.

Forget the 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' shyte.

If the relationship was sick before... her going away for two weeks without you is putting it down (with a 9mm round between the eyes).

Are you in contact with her by phone, sms, email, anything? If you start getting one word answers and brief conversations, I wouldn't even bother showing up at the airport. Wait till the day before she comes back and let her know you won't be there because something came up, her reaction will let you know where you stand.

As for your relationship... Hope for the best and expect the worst.

Hope you prove me wrong.

The more I revealed the situation the more I realized that the relationship soured my personality as much as anything else. This girl is still my best friend and when she was my best friend three years ago I think it was the happiest we were. Anyway, when she gets back I will slip her the LJBF line and see where it goes from there. I will tell her that I just need to be myself again and I really will act like myself more from now on than the sour al bundy LTR person I had become. You guys set me on track... cause even though I care about her and she knows it and she's a good girl the LJBF is enough to cut anybody's self-esteem down to size. ~Zappa

To me, if you're going to be in a 3 year relationship with anyone and you haven't proposed to her by the end of those 3 years, there must be something holding you back. I know if I were ever in a relationship that long, I'd feel I found my soulmate, otherwise 1 year is quite enough to figure out whether you're compatible.

She hasn't quite worked up to ending it just yet, but that's where it's headed. She's giving hints and more hints, and Zap, you've picked them up.

LJBF her. Then--effectively--cut contact. It will take 1+ years to get over a 3 yr relationship, so break contact for that time. Get your head clear, see others--basically, become a different person and then you can resume friendship, if you want.

Something I heard--breaking up requires a certain time for mourning--you're already beginning it (...it's been 3 years and it all ends so suddenly...) So set a date where you will quit mourning it and go out and start living again. It seems the subconscious will take whatever date you choose (if it's realistic) and accept it as a target and prepare accordingly.

I surprised at how many guys that would just give up on the relationship. It sounds as if he doesn't have anything to say about the relationship.

Has anyone thought about what would happen if Frank is making DJing mistakes and doesn't know it? If he gives up now he could be set out to the wolves as a AFC without knowing what to do differently next time.

I was a DJ and that's how I landed this chick in the first place. Using **** I learned from this site. After a year of being with her I stopped using this site and lost perspective and stopped using as many techniques because I thought girls in a relationship put so much in that they would try and keep it going. But I was wrong, I should've stuck to the techniques throughout the relationship such as not returning or picking up all phone calls and such. Not being a DJ has landed me in this predicament. But live and learn... Only time will tell I guess... ~Frank Zappa

When all you have, is what you HAD, Its time to let go. Life is short, move forward with or without her. The only possible way I can see you getting her back is to stand up and take charge of the situation. You have to be ready to move forward without her. Sometimes, when trying to hold onto a relationship, we try so hard to please and do everything right we stop being the man. I know, I've been there once upon a time. You have to walk away from her and don't bluff, but truly walk away like a man with pride and dignity. It won't be immediate but I guarantee if she ever really cared she will come chasing you. If not oh well, you have your pride and dignity. You walked away and life goes on. Use you DJ skills and she will be replaced with someone better.

I don't think you can just DJ yourself back into a relationship with someone who has known you, and been with you for so long. They know you and know the real you. Plus when you fel like crap and are so sad and down its hard to just start DJing. You have to pull yourself up and change your outlook. But first you have to get away from the one who is pulling you down.
