I have a girl that lives with me and sleeps with me also. I think she might not be over her ex that dumped her. She used to go see him and it really bothered me. I told her it bothered me and we should stop sleeping together and ask her to read the website (Baggage Reclaim) about emotionally unavailable men and players. She said she started reading it and it was upseting her so she stopped reading it. Could it be that it upset her because the truth hurts or could it be for another reason.

Yes, it could be. What does she say?

She didn't say why it upset her and I am not going to ask. I have made up my mind that she is now in the sex only catagory and I will never give her a relationship. My gut instinct tells me not to invest myself emotionally so I intend to trust it.

 

I have known her for a long time and won't kick her out because I am not a mean person. She will have to leave on her own when she is ready.

 

I am just curious about what reasons she might have as to why it upsets her.

 

I know I used to tell women all the time I couldn't see them after I slept with them and they would just about line up to try to get back with me. So I understand how they want what they can't have. I really is kinda pathetic.

Very likely hit too close to home.

and you say your not a mean person. but your using her and other women for only sex.

if you dont want to come across as a mean person i suggest you let her know your intentions. and also... thats not pathetic... you cant help feeling what the heart wants. you just cant. and hopefully one day you will never know what that feels like.

Who knows why she was upset, something meant something to her, but it could have been anything. It may not be related to your concerns about her.

 

If you don't want to invest in her emotionally because of this - and I do think you should trust you instinct until you have new information - I think you ought to tell her. I also think you should let her know what you think the situation is. That tension is coming between you so why not bring it out into the open and see what she says?

 

I know that someone swearing they are not interested in their ex means little, but she may not be aware of your worries. Are you afraid of confronting her about this?

Yes you are. You jump to conclusions rather than ask her a question. You are not any more relationship material than (potentially) she is

 

In sex category rather than have a conversation over a stupid website :rolleyes: Seriously?

You people don't read very well do you. I did tell her it upset me that she was seeing her ex. I also told her we should stop sleeping together. She is the one that still wants sex and guess what folks? I am a man and I like sex. It is not like I didn't tell her what I thought. It is not my fault if she can't handle it.

Uh oh, here comes the hate mail...

You may not be able to help your feelings, but you can surely have the common sense not to act on them. Continuing to do something that you know is detrimental to yourself IS pathetic, regardless of your feelings.

 

Emotions don't have to rule you.

Now that the thread has been sucessfully derailed. Can anyone think of any reasons that would answer my original question.

 

Earlier I meant to say "It really is kinda pathetic" not "I really is kinda pathetic" But I must not have hit my t hard enough.

If she is not over her ex, and this makes you unhappy - why do you live with her?

 

The way you expressed your relationship:

 

I have a girl that lives with me and sleeps with me also.

 

is a little odd to me. What are YOUR feelings about her, besides disliking her evident attachment to her ex?

 

What is the nature of your relationship?

If she said the website upset her then it's too close to home.

Why are you assuming it's triggering the ex issue? She could have you in mind and be realising you're unavailable and this is going nowhere.

So, you live with her, have sex with her but you two are not a couple, not boyfriend/girlfriend..kind of friends with benefits. If that is the case, she can see her her ex anytime she wants. You're not committed to her? Do you see other women (aka sleep with other women other than her?) at the same time?

 

Wear a condom if sex is going to happen between you two again.

:laugh: One missing letter or word can totally change the meaning of a sentence..

 

OK, well she probably got upset reading the site because it's true. That she isn't over her ex..And, she may really like you too but knows you're not as into her (serious wise).
