loverboy1984 Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Disclaimer: dont laugh or judge. I was getting mixed signals and weird feelings from my girlfriend over the past few months so I decided to give a psychic a call. Yea i had talked to my girlfriend about my concerns but it wasnt going well with me. A couple psychics told me things are good and that shes a keeper. Yet two told me that it wont last. The last one told me she is talking to some other guy and juggling and that the reason she is moving is to be with another guy, and keeping me around to see which works out. Prior to these "predictions" I had asked my gf why she is moving and if there is someone else and she has told me no, that she is trying to move to a big city to have fun since we live in a small town and she wants to gain more experience and she wants to be with me and make it work. I dont know what to believe. I was told to end it and when I do she wont show much of a reaction and that will be the telling sign. But I dont want to be weird and do something like that and have her think Im crazy. Its hard to look at her now knowing someone has told me these things. What are your thoughts?
aussietigerwolf Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Hmm... If I found out that a guy dumped me because a psychic told him to then I would never even want to know the guy exsisted ever again. (best I can do without laughing or judging because really? Id do both) 6
KatZee Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 So basically you called up some psychic hotline. These bozo's had a 50/50 chance of making some half-a.ssed prediction. Half said she was cool, the other half said she's cheating. Don't get me wrong, I believe in psychics. I have my own personal one I've gone to a few times over the course of the past 5 years or so. However, I don't trust those psychic hotlines. Come on. They're there to take your money. That being said, you clearly don't trust this girl. The second you decided you needed to call up a psychic to gauge the status of your relationship was the second you should have been ending it with her. No trust, no relationship. 1
OwMyEyeball Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Psychics are an external validation for thoughts feelings we already hold. They're really good at reading people and drawing out their insecurities. It's self-fulfilling prophecy. You're told by someone that it's not going to work out. If you're easily swayed or influenced then you believe it. Your beliefs guide your behaviour. And if you believe "it ain't gonna work" then your behaviour will reflect that. Your partner will pick up on the changes and develop her own doubts. Or, if the relationship is already in trouble those doubts will just be magnified. Her behaviour will change. Your beliefs will feel validated and your behaviour will feed off hers. It turns into a negative feedback loop. Before long the relationship is broken. The psychic was right! That is unless there's some intimate communication that brings voice to these behaviours and doubts instead of relying on a one-off "analysis" by a complete stranger / scam artist. 1
mightycpa Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 dont laugh or judge Sorry. I can't help it. If the psychic didn't call you, then they're not really all that good. Better see another one. 3
amaysngrace Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 PM me and I'll answer all your questions for twenty bucks. 2
todreaminblue Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 my thoughts are that you got ripped......i actually had a premonition then of dollar signs floating in my head ...so yeah you got ripped....do not break up with someone because a clairvoyant told you so ....if you want to believe then do so but believe in it that you work on your relationship to make it better and stronger than before....the psychic read your doubt and hesitations that is all..doubts kill relationships you showed your weakness and the pyschic fed off it....... so when someone tells you to break up with someone go ....no thanks im fine my girl is fine our relationship is fine in fact i need to reconnect more with her than you so yeah going to go take her out right now spur of the moment....life and love is what you make it...not what someone else tells you to do .......what your post shows me is... you dont trust your gf you have doubt you spend time listening to other people not concentrating on working out what you actually feel and why because its easier to just listen and consider another and what they think you can be swayed quite easily by playing on your fears you arent being honest with you gf and are hiding how you really feel you need to reconnect with your gf and spend more time with her communicating your fears and doubts you need to concentrate on what is truly important to you or your relationship which is important to you will fail......thats my prediction......best wishes.....listen to you ...listen to her....go from there.....deb
Lernaean_Hydra Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 If you don't trust this girl you don't trust her, but don't lay the blame for your doubts on a psychic because you basically just shopped around until you found a one that agreed with you. I'm not going to laugh or judge you for going to a psychic but I am going to laugh and judge you for the way you went about it. I believe in that sort of thing but those with the true gift of sight are few and far between and rarely do they work for a 1-900 hotline.... 4
umirano Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 James Randi's offer has not been taken so far. This means no one was ready to show his actual super natural powers in order to collect 1 million dollars. What makes you think someone can actually know things in the way psychics claim to know things? Anyone can learn cold reading and come up with half way credible stories that resemble somewhat what 60% of the people experience at some point or another in their lives.
Author loverboy1984 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 Thank you for all your responses. I know I sounded silly and you are right. Its just crazy how 2 psychics told me she is talking to someone from her past and that her actions, such as wanting to move, responding late to your text, etc show that she is juggling and that i should walk away before its too late. Im gonna live my life but its hard to ignore this once you have heard it.
Westernbuddhist Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Yeah i wouldn't put too much emphasis on a psychic. But I would on your girls behaviour. If you find yourself emasculated, which is fairly common today, it is a sign to end things. But calculate how long it will take to replace her.
TigerLilly78 Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 My thoughts? I might laugh but you do not come across as the sharpest knife in the drawer. Have you always been influenced by such nonsense? You might want to examine the reason for your gullibility in letting this influence your social life. Not a healthy obsession for a well adjusted adult. Just a bit nasty there ha...? just cause you do not believe in such things doesn't mean others who do deserve to be belittled..moving on OP my experiences with these things are some are better then others I believe alot of them are simply reading cues and fishing for responses then they go from there. Thats not to say some are not pretty spot on I myself went to one once but she told me the total opposite of what really happened IE she said some "friends" were really great people and well when time came it def was not so.. Because of that situation I am now more skeptical and guarded when it comes to psychics. I also have a friend who is heavily into them and will listen to hers religiously so much so she actually broke up a relationship cause one told her she had to. Afterward she spent the next few years pining for him and letting the physic tell her things would work out some day all the while racking up more cash out of her each desperate visit.. In the end they never got back together morel of that story is don't be duped I guess.. We all want to have the quick answers when some times only time patients and communication is what really needed to make things work...

Psychics don't have the ability to see the future. What the good ones have is the ability to pick up on clues being verbally & non-verbally sent out by the person they are "reading." Something about what you said or did when you were with this psychic gave that person the impression you wanted to break up. The psychic only told you what you sub-consciously indicated you wanted to hear. 1
Taramere Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 What are your thoughts? Whenever I hear of people asking psychics for help in making potentially life changing decisions, I tend to think it's a sign that they're afraid to take full responsibility for making those decisions. Or afraid to rely on their instincts. Throughout your life you're going to be faced with dilemmas and difficult decisions. I'm not saying that in a "psychic" way - just pointing out the realities of life. Are you going to approach a psychic for help each time? My advice would be that you spend your money on something more worthwhile than a telephone psychic, and start developing a bit more confidence in your own instincts. 4
Eternal Sunshine Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I would say over 90% are liars and frauds.. That said, I have been talking to a lady for years who does readings for me for free. I have never made a decision based on her advice but often wished I had. Things eerily end up evolving as she says. I don't even give her any info besides the guy's first name for example. She nails down his personality right away. Just too much accuracy for it to all be a fluke. Plus she is not taking my money so she has nothing to gain from readings. I even tried offering so many times. Never took a cent.
KaliLove Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Just wondering...why do you feel the need to seek counseling from multiple psychics? Anyway..psychics aren't there with you in your relationship. Only you know if you should break up with your girlfriend or not. Don't listen to anything but your gut. 1
chimpanA-2-chimpanZ Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 PLEASE break up with her and explain why. She is not going to feel bad, because she discovered her ex is a ridiculous person who believes in psychics. More importantly, she's going to have the best breakup story ever. 1
