Is timing really that important in a relationship?

Posted

It depends. Generally speaking, if someone really, and I mean really wants to be with you they will be. The worse the "timing", the lower you are on their priority list.

 

When someone says "I love you, but the timing is wrong" then what they are really saying is that "you are so low on my emotional priority list that I simply can't see bumping you up a few notches in order to make the timing right. I have too much above you that I simply can't and won't make room for you in."

 

It sounds like you are in a really horrible situation - maybe hanging on to someone who can't give you what you need emotionally? Are you having sex with him while he's keeping you at an emotional distance? You've been broken up with this guy for over a year, but I can't help wondering if you are still trying to push for reconciliation, and he is treating you really badly. Your posts are always so sad sounding. :(

Brilliant. God knows I needed to hear that. So true.

I think timing can be crucial in a relationship. But it can make for a really good excuse, too.

well, i guess your right. I broke up with him and he just doesn't want me around....not even as a friend. I have asked him why can't we just be normal friends and he says normal? i am not going to be like that with you for a long time....i wonder why...

Is it really that hard to figure out? If you just broke up with the guy and he doesn't want you around, its probably because he still cares for you and wants to be away from you because you hurt him and he needs to get over you.

No kidding. I hate excuses, but in all fairness, I have used them to wiggle out of things, too.

Some people can't handle being "just friends" after a relationship ends.

 

....i wonder why...

 

Because either it's too painful for him, and why should he feel that pain everytime you both see or talk to eachother? It's not going to DO any good to be friends when one feels hurt and like crap. That's too negative. And also, he may not have an interest in friendship at all as it's over.
