I have a rather unusual girlfriend problem. I doubt anyone will have shared an experience like this.

 

I came out of a long term relationship (4 years) around a year ago. Screwed around for a while because I could and then finally snapped out of that stupidity and met a wonderful girl through friends. We hit it off and started dating almost immediately.

 

My ex has been on the scene a bit lately. I haven’t had any contact myself but heard on the grapevine that she wants another shot with me. My girlfriend is furious at this, no matter how much I protest the feeling is not mutual she just wont accept. I am so far over my ex that it’s not funny.

 

Now I have really deep feelings for my girlfriend and I wanted to express them too her. We were out at a karaoke night a few weeks ago and I thought I would sing her a song. I got up singing ‘The Most Beautiful Girl in the World’ by Prince. I sang the song. Looking into the crowd at my girlfriend and singing directly to her. I thought it went pretty good.

 

Song finishes, get a bit of a cheer from the crowd, and then my ex jumps up on stage and gives me a kiss, crowd goes wild. Ok, WTF, I push her away and start looking for my girlfriend. She is already gone.

 

Now apparently, according to friends because I wont speak to her, my ex thought I was singing to her because she was in exactly the same line of sight just a little further back. She thought I was singing to her to say I wanted her back. Misunderstanding? Yeah ok, I can deal with that. Not really sure I believe her but I really couldn’t care less what she thinks and why she did it.

 

The problem is that my girlfriend wont have a bar of it. She says I humiliated her publically, and she’s not even sure that I really don’t want my ex back. She has broken up with me and refuses to take my calls or talk to me.

 

So I open myself to all the experience here. What can I do? How can I save this relationship?

 

I have written a letter. I have had friends speak to her. I have sent her flowers. I have given her time, it’s been nearly 3 weeks. Besides hiring a billboard declaring my love for her I have tried all I know. What am I missing?

I'll tell you what you're missing. A believable story, that's what.

Sorry? What are you trying to imply?

This situation seems made up.

I wish it was.

MarkMac... this situation sucks.

And I don't really have any advice to offer you. If she won't take your calls, then there really is no way in.

Give her a little more time, hopefully she'll come around, or at least talk to you.

 

What I think we can all take from this is that karaoke is NEVER a good idea!

 

Good luck!
