The end of my longest LTR (1year) makes me feel like writing here.
I think I was 21 the first time I realised there was something wrong. But I didn't know what it was.
I dated several women from my 18, good looking & wanted women. But I had never been able to work it into a relationship/or to keep the relationship rolling. After a few weeks women left me.
I remember going to the library reading "Man are from Mars, women of Venus". (lol)
The hard lesson came at 22. I dated a girl of 28. The "relationship" (when I know look at it it wasn't a relationship) lasted almost 4 months, my longest relationship ever at that time.
I learned the hard way the consequences of AFCism, some errors I made:
-she was my world/life
-couldn't walk away
-identifing with her
-the sex was so good, I lost all logic
-needy
...
The consequences were predictible: better to have a bad boyfriend than no boyfriend. When she finally met somebody less AFC than me, she cheated on me with him & dumped me the hard way. I felt into a pseudo-depression lasting 2months, thought I lost it all. Then I rehabed, I met new girls, but wasn't interesting in dating: I was disgusted by what happened to me.
Something wasn't right. There was something wrong about this place. Were all women like this? What do they want? What did I do to deserver this?
Short after the "depression" I found out about DYD. This were the first steps into seduction. Closely followed by Badboy & other seduction websites that gave me ammo to go to war.
I became aware of what women wants in terms of seduction. I became:
-confident
-not needy
-social
-desired by other women
-busy
...
I met more women than before, but still I didn't want to date. Then I met my current ex-girlfriend and I forced myself to date her. The LTR would last 1 year.
The first months were incredibly: with my new weapons of mass seduction I was able to keep her attracted to me! Incredible, this stuff works I thought!
After 2months we went on a 10days trip. When we came back I couldn't use my newly acquired seduction skills anymore: it was an act! She became aware that it was an act, and I lost my attractiveness. The AFC in me awoke and she dumped me during month 3.
Luckily I came across sosuave at that time, spinned some plates & she came back to me.
Be a man says Pook. And he's right. I didn't understand what he meant the first time I read it, but now I do. I was an actor: an AFC in the role of a man. In the meanwhile it was already month 10 of the LTR, longest ever. I finally found out what had been wrong during all those years: it was me. They weren't the problem: I was. I had been suffering from a severe disease during several years: I thought that an LTR would bring me true & everlasting happiness. Walt Disney had been lying to me during all this years.
I finally understood what I personally need to become happy:
Absolute freedom to do what I want, whenever I want and without having to justify to anybody. This could include: travel, workout, sleep, wake up,... I needed to quit my job & start my own business. I need to study, to emprove myself as a person, but also intellectually, i need to acquire new skills.
I need more time. My girlfriend couldn't give me the time I wanted. She wants to be number 1. I have more important things right now. So we ended the LTR 3 weeks ago. No hard feeling, no hard words. She will be 27 next week. Life is hard for everybody.
