Hello DatingEra, some of you might remember me from the other site talking about this girl who was my gf but didn't give a damn about me and it was always coming with excuses to not see me. I saw that some of you were wondering what happened to that story on the first few pages of this thread, wich I appreciate.
I was talking about it right before the other site collapsed and since then, I decided to stop posting about it, because just as I said there once, I'm not that kind of person that shares personal stuff on the internet cuz' I have this paranoia that might end up being stalked and stuff, but since I don't have any friends to talk about it, I had to express all this messy feelings somewhere because I was feeling like going mental, plus you guys kindly took the time to help me with your advice too wich I also appreciate, so yeah, I think an update should be made about it. Apologies it took me this long to do so. Basically: I'm single again. She simply kept dissapearing for weeks and weeks, while ignoring my messages/calls only to randomly come back and say I'm sorry. I simply had enough of that shit and it seems she had it of her own too because she end up telling me that all of this proves that she simply is still not ready to carry with a serious relationship just yet. She was aware of all the mental damage she was causing me by acting and ignoring me like this and that supposedly she also was suffering of that too by ignoring me, but that she couldn't help it due to all the other stuff going on her life right now. She basically asked for some time off and that if I want, we can perhaps try things again sometime in the future when she can felt more mature to carry a serious relationship.
But ehhh, I think I just had enough and will move on. Because during the days where she was "dissapeared" and were still on the relationship, I accidentally discovered on fb that she actually had a graduation ceremony from college and she didn't even told me about it, much less invited me... I also discovered she kept going to local band concerts on her own, or probably with her friends while she kept ignoring me or coming with excuses to not go out with me. I discovered this stuff while casually scrolling through my facebook feed. The graduation pictures of her school suddenly appeared on my feed so no stalking was made whatsoever. Seriously, It's kinda creepy the amount of stuff you can accidentally discover of the people you have on your friend list just by scrolling through your fb feed, even stuff you don't actually want to know about. All of that makes me anxious too so that's why I'm going to take some time off from facebook and social media in general. But seriously, the amount of indifference with her was simply mindblowing.
I think the age difference between us made a big impact on our "relationship" She's 21, I'm 27. When I was 21, I certainly had a different point of view about life in general. At that time I literally wanted to eat the whole world by doing a million things at .once... While fucking it up in pretty much all of them and it seems she's currently going through that phase and still doesn't exactly know what she wants in life just yet. Too bad that due to that, her health has been compromised pretty badly, but there's nothing else I can do at this point but to respect her and wish her luck.
I've been feeling sad, yes, but kinda more relaxed too now that I don't compulsevely check the damn phone every 5 minutes to see if I received a message from her. Heck, there's been some days now where I don't even touch the phone during the whole day and it's been great! My anxiety levels have dropped considerably thanks to that. It's just nice to be free of uncertainty and dramas and I hope that once my feelings are settled out, I can carry on with my life and fix all the stuff I neglected during this time. I left tons of projects and people to the side due to this girl, my health included. It's my fault for gotten so hooked to her, but then again, she was my first gf in like, 5 years or so. Lesson learned for next time. I will also stay away of Tinder and all of that shit for a while in order to focus on myself first, because just by thinking of going into the dating game again, literally makes me sick right now. Dating is hard, guize. Sorry for the lenghty post. If you read it till this point, u awesome! Thanks!
