Hey,
This is my first post.
I need some advice, some objective and decent advice. Any opinions are welcome. I have no one I can talk to about this, so am turning to random people on the web.
I'll state from the start that I do love this girl, and often I wonder if we'll stay together forever. We've got amazing chemistry, and I really enjoy her company. I've spent a decade trying to be Don Juan, now I want a more stable boring life. All my family and friends seem to be hoping we stay together, and she's workmates with my friends - that's how I met her - so I can't discuss this with anyone really.
I have been with my girlfriend for almost 8 months now. She has just recently moved into my apartment. She regularly and openly talks about us getting married in the future, buying a place together and having kids.
Don't get me wrong: These are also my goals, as boring as they sound. I'm 31and she's 29. Life's swell.....or so I keep telling myself. It's just that I keep coming back to the feeling that she's a little bit devious - and she may be playing me.
Let me summarise quickly:
She's attractive- a cute little blonde with a tight body.
She shags like a pornstar.
She acts all blonde and girly girl, but she's a real guys girl- very down to earth, doesn't have many close girlfriends, but plenty of guy friends.
Every guy I know thinks she's a great chick, but my girlfriends don't seem to get on with her as well.
She has about 300 friends on facebook - but the truth is - she really doesn't have that many good friends at all - as evidenced by the dreadful turnout at her birthday drinks - it was almost all my friends.
What I mean is - my close friends are old school - people i've been kicking around with 10 years + .... hers are a random collection of ex-workmates.
Her best friend - who she's now at war with for moving out of their place and into mine - is truely a low-life *****. An ex-workmate she's known for 2 years - who is borderline alcoholic, single, 36, and picking up and shagging anyone and everyone. She has little moral fibre or self respect.
She doesn't have a great family life - it's really only ever been her and her Mom - and her Mom has been through several men - she had at least 3 father figures growing up - and now her Mom - her only family, is jaded, alone and depressed.
My girlfriend was with an ex boyfriend for 7 years and bought an apartment with him - from age 19 to 26. She dumped him, and has lived the single life for 3 years. They still own the apartment together and rent it out. They've been in the "process" of splitting the apartment ever since i've known her...but nothing has really happened.
She had one relationship in that time - but the guy "treated her like ****". Basically, they were workmates, he refused to tell anyone they were together because of his "career", and never said he loved her. So eventually, she cheated on him, and blames him for it. Turns out he was shagging some of her other workmates anyway.
She then proceeded to start shagging that guy's friend - his ex-flatmate - who lived with him while they were together. This came out and caused massive problems for her and all their friends. She lost some friends.
She has been very open with me about all of this, perhaps too open, sometimes I feel that I know too much.
Here's some major moments for us:
First 2 months were magic.
After 3 months she flipped out on me badly one day - tears, door slamming, crying she said "I don't even really want to be with you". I walked out of her place - we made up later that night. She said I needed to put more effort into our relationship.
After 4 months, she left me hanging at her place while she got ready to go for dinner, I was bored for about an hour. She was in the shower - I grabbed her iPhone to surf the web, which she'd let me do a few times before - but found myself scoping her text messages. No excuses - it was wrong on my part - but she dangled that carrot right in front of me. I found some loving romantic texts from some dude telling her how special she was, and how she deserved so much better. These were written the day we'd had that fight a month before. She'd deleted the whole conversation - but kept his loving texts. I dumped her. Didn't tell her what i'd seen. Just dumped her.
She talked me around and we got back together - we really do get on very well - she was telling me how good we are together. She explained that it was nothing - basically it didn't happen - lied about those texts which I had read. Said it was just a friend. We lasted a week and I dumped her a second time - for good this time! She had been arranging to meet this same guy for a coffee on a Saturday afternoon when she was due to meet up with me. How do I know? Went into her iPhone of course when she was in the toilet. He couldn't meet up with her that day.
She then has a mini breakdown begging for me to get back with her, saying it was nothing. Eventually I got her to admit that it was a guy from work - same company different office. A married dude with 2 kids. She said he asked her out on a date - they kissed - then he confessed he was married. That was it apparently. She says they strangely became good friends after that.....
I gave her a chance and we got back together....
Then, about a month ago, she somehow left her iPhone at my place after staying the night....took everything else but left that....oops! I was able to read all her texts, access her facebook and gmail. I read everything.
The guy she'd shagged after her ex, his old flatmate and friend, her old shag buddy, was writing to see how she was going with me....? And to see if she wanted to meet up for a drink? Her response was very keen to meet him, and quite flirty. Then he said he'd call her....I could read his mind - he was scoping her to see if she was "available" - she claims it wasn't like that at all - they're just good frinds.
I went crazy......she claimed innocence.....says he's just a friend - and i'm nuts going through her stuff! She says that if she does meet him - she'll bring me along.
Now I'm living with her! It is great.....but I just get these thoughts some time that i'm a *****, and she's doing me over, and i'm letting her. I'm going nuts here....
