So what would you say if it were the opposite?
If I had too many friends, and she felt like she couldn't compete with all of them. She wonders 'What makes me different from them? Why don't you date them?' -- she says she doesn't want to tell me 'don't have any girl friends!', but unsure on how she compares to them.
It could be her not trusting me (every couple in her family is divorced and she know's it is coming for her) OR feeling no different from the rest of the girls I give my attention to. She said she doesn't feel significant because I have so many girl friends and I am unavailable most of the time. She even knows I'm dating other women! She knows I still have my OkCupid profile, which she deactivated hers.
She hates when I say her and I are friends. She doesn't want to be 'friends'.
She said "I can't fear that one day you'll just get up and leave. If you want to, then leave now." So Wednesday, I left.
I went a day without talking until she kept
text messaging, in a panic attack, not being able to breathe. Day after, she said she will never act like that in front of me again. Once, last week, TOTAL 3 days -- she thought I was dead...
Every week, I disconnect.
Again, I play this game too hard. Hell, she is the one setting up dates, and I suggest the activity.
I play this 'do not make her important' game too hard, to where I don't know when to stop.
She feels like one of these days, I am going to leave again and it be for good.
I do it every damn week -- how long do I have to continue? I keep playing this 'you're no good for me, you're worthless, and not important' game daily and she wants something 'stronger' and exclusive.
I enjoy your advice, thank you.
Yes, I have way too many friends that are pulling my arms and legs in every direction more than you can count to.
I am very emotionally unavailable to this woman.
She competes with many women who are dying for a chance, telling me to move on.
That's the problem.
I guess from all of that, you can understand that I do play this game correctly. The problem is she is scared about this, and fears that one day I'll get up and leave and she will have to go through suffering like she did with the other guy she knew for 9 months (he left without a word!). Then she met some random kid, and it didn't go too well, now she is dealing with sexual trauma. Friends hated her, kid called her terrible things, etc. That hurt her too.
So she had this terrible past, and now isn't giving me so much trust because she fears too much... And that's my problem. She isn't putting herself into this, and is constantly thinking I will leave, and isn't giving me much trust.
That's why I feel insignificant.
