Eddie Gonzales Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Now, I've known this girl a while now. She and I were good friends while she was with her ex. Three months ago they broke up. We made a deal that I would help her find someone new. During this time, she was still hooking up with her ex at least a couple of times a month. But in some way, somehow, things started developing between me and her and two weeks ago we started dating. This girl has started calling me once a day, texting me, she even called me when she was drunk yesterday. However, my huge problem is the fact that she openly told me she's going to see her ex tonight a few days ago. And I know they'll have sex. He lives right opposite of her, while I live two hours away. Any advice? I've really fallen for her this past month and even though I agreed that we should take things slow as it's only been two weeks, I have a huuuuuuge issue with her hooking up with her ex even though we're not exclusive yet. Any advice on what I should do? Link to post Share on other sites
CryForNoOne Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I was in a very similar situation a couple months ago. Here's the thread. http://www.loveshack.org/forums/romantic/dating/634995-new-love-interest-got-back-together-ex Same deal. She lived almost across the street from her ex and I was almost an hour away. It won't work. She wants her cake and to eat it too. Even if she drops him for good and you become exclusive, how can you ever trust her? It's almost guaranteed she will be doing the same exact thing to you in a year or two - sleeping with you while flirting with a new guy... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BarbedFenceRider Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Ewww. I guess, you could just be friends, but I wouldn't keep taking her out. You are just a meal ticket and fun time guy. F-that. I wouldn't even shake her hand! You don't know what was last on it...Fist bump. She is in the party girl mode. Which is fine, but not for you. Look elsewhere. Best of luck.

d0nnivain Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 All you can do is put your cards on the table. Tell her that you like her but you can't date her if she's going to continue sleeping with her EX. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Cookiesandough Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Any advice on what I should do? Back away slowly. I'll create a diversion so you can make a run for it, but I can't see this ending well 3 Link to post Share on other sites
kendahke Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Location location location. It really is a factor when it comes to convenience and what someone doesn't feel they need to go without. Right now, you live 2 hours away. Dude lives across the hall practically. What do you honestly think she's going to do given your proximity? Any advice on what I should do? Rein in your feelings. She's nowhere near being emotionally or physically done with her ex. At best, you are a rebound or worse, her emotional tampon. Find someone closer to where you live. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
PegNosePete Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Any advice? Yes, don't date girls who are sleeping with other people. 6 Link to post Share on other sites
smackie9 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 She's broken.....she isn't relationship material at this time in her life. Dating her isn't going to change anything. She's still hooked on her ex, and only wants FWB. She doesn't want anything serious and most certainly not with you either. it's a losing battle and all the showering her with niceties will not make this happen for you. You are wasting your time. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
smackie9 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yes, don't date girls who are sleeping with other people. This^^^^ it's a no brainer this is a deal breaker. Link to post Share on other sites
PegNosePete Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 It is too early to claim any exclusivity, so isn't me telling her that too fast? Absolutely not. Telling her she can't sleep with her ex would be too fast. Telling her that YOU don't want to date someone who is sleeping with another guy, is totally normal, and sensible. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Michelle ma Belle Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I know but problem is we just started, it's new and I agreed that we should take it slow. It is too early to claim any exclusivity, so isn't me telling her that too fast? I reeeeeally don't want to **** this up As far as I can see, you've already f*cked this up You made the decision to sleep with and fall for someone whose actions clearly tell you that she's not over her ex. I'm not sure you what more you can expect from her and this 'thing' you have with her. You still want to make it work with someone like her? Then put it all on the table like d0nnivain said and see what she says. That's about all you can do right now. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
kendahke Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I know but But nothing. This is all in your head and not necessarily being born out in hers, especially if she's still having sex with her ex. problem is we just started, it's new and I agreed that we should take it slow. It is too early to claim any exclusivity, so isn't me telling her that too fast? Yes. It is too fast and the timing isn't right because she's not emotionally free and clear to be 100% with you. You're happy with scraps and crumbs? Because that's what you're going to be trying to make a full-on meal out of. She is only 3 months out of that relationship which means they may reconcile and you're more in love with the fantasy of her that you're conjuring 2 hours away from her and not who she actually is: someone who isn't over her ex yet. She's telling you what she thinks you need to hear in order to be her back up plan, but if she was 100% in with you, she wouldn't step foot near him. You haven't invested much of anything into this outside of imagination, whereas she's got a tangible investment with her ex and it really looks like she's not about giving up on her investment. I reeeeeally don't want to **** this up She's done it for you. It's **** up already--it was going in with a messy woman who still has unfinished business with her ex--to the point where she's still having sex with him. And no, she doesn't have to give him up for you because you and she aren't exclusive---but if you did bring that talk to her, you most likely will get pushback from her because she's not ready to be with you. That much is clear through who she is having sex with. She needs to be done and through the processing of this relationship first before she can be of any good to you. Stop accepting crumbs or the beta mindset of "waaaaa!!! I'll never get anyone if I don't get her!!!" Dealing with her will surely block a more suitable woman from even casting a thought in your direction because you are acting like "that" guy, and it's not a cute look. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Any advice on what I should do? This is how I see it, she's having sex with the ex still why in the world would you consider such a woman? What I don't get is why educated man like yourself would stood lower than this so of woman. She's cheating on you if you let her but she's going back to the ex even if you two have sex. Seconds is that what you really want from her. I would pass on her in a heartbeat. Why not just keep her as a buddy friend and just don't spend your money on her. She has her sex partner, your just something on the side for her. Tell me that's not that you want to do really? Link to post Share on other sites

2much4 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 If she had any real interest in you she certainly wouldn't tell you about having sex with her ex. Telling someone you're dating about the other people you're sleeping with isn't "taking it slow". It's a quite tasteless way to communicate you're not interested in anything serious. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
salparadise Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) If she had any real interest in you she certainly wouldn't tell you about having sex with her ex. Telling someone you're dating about the other people you're sleeping with isn't "taking it slow". It's a quite tasteless way to communicate you're not interested in anything serious. Exactly. It tells you precisely who she is. Not only does she think it's acceptable to be schtupping multiple guys at once, she tells you about it as if she has no clue whatsoever as to how it will make you feel. Bottom line... clueless to the extreme, or just does't give a sh*t, or more likely both. If you had the ability to not give a sh*t either then you might be able to enjoy the easy sex, but you're already attached and becoming invested. If you think it's painful and humiliating now, just wait 'til you're in even deeper. There's nothing but pain and humiliation in it for you. Even if you were to have a talk and she agreed to quit banging her ex, how much confidence would you have that she actually quit vs. just quit telling you about it... not to mention knowing what you know about her predilections. Do you think she's ever going to be monogamous with you for the right reason? Nope. You already the answer to that because she told you. Just curious... what's the situation with the ex-bf? Did she break up with him or did he break it off with her? Does he know she's banging you––does he care, or would he if he knew? I wonder what angle she's playing with him. The smart move would be to cut it off clean and quit talking to her, but I have a feeling that you're signing up for some intensive suffering don't have the wherewithal to do what you know is best for you.

spiderowl Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Just don't kiss or sleep with her. If she says anything, tell her you can't get physical with her while she is sleeping with someone else. You don't need to lay the law down, just withhold. You might as well anyway because what have you got to lose? This way, you are subtly demanding respect and setting the ground rules. If she really likes you, she will reconsider what she is doing. However, if she has been sleeping with her ex regularly, I can't see this changing unless she falls madly in love. It is always possible she will fall in love with you, but I think you would have to show you have self-respect and will only accept exclusivity from her. Link to post Share on other sites
Highndry Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 She sounds low quality, but if that's what you're after I don't see the harm in saying "hey, I like you but I'm not interested in sleeping with you while you're sleeping with somebody else. Let me know if things change, but in the meantime I'm out." Link to post Share on other sites
Author Eddie Gonzales Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hey guys So I just wanted to give you an update. I told her that I don't want to be with her if she's still hooking up with her ex and that it's either me or him. She promised me she'll stop seeing him and actually threw out the rest of his stuff from her apartment. She's visiting me on the weekend and genuinely keeps showing her interest by calling and texting every day. What do you guys think of this? Link to post Share on other sites
BlueIvy Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 As a woman, I feel she isn’t that into you. She wouldn’t have told you about her sleeping with her ex. She might have moved his stuff out but why didn’t she do it before if she was over him? At 3 months post break up, she still has feelings for him. I think you will probably be the rebound...

He lives close to her. You will be a fun rebound for her and she will be hooking up with her ex again. It's not gonna stop just like that. You will have trust issues with her that will greatly effect your relationship with her. Link to post Share on other sites
PhilHarper Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I echo the "don't get involved advice." Id also add if you've fallen for her you may want to get some space to clear your head. Let her clear her issues with her ex as well. Look elsewhere for a GF. Link to post Share on other sites
