smackie9 Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Good lord no wonder she's keeping you around. You are her gravy train. You handle her problems/responsibilities, and now she has freedom to go and play. In other words she's using you, and keeping you on the hook by giving you good chemistry and sex. You have shining knight syndrome. Stop rescuing women. 3
mark clemson Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 I'm sure it's obvious that I am very conflicted... I snipped your full quote, but this does sound very push-pull-ish and somewhat manipulative. Don't be shocked if after your talk and starting to pull away from her she's suddenly very into you again. IF that happens, it will probably feel great, but it sounds like you are (wisely) trying to keep your eye on the bigger picture. Think doing so is the right way to go. If you're looking for real commitment, especially given what you're apparently bringing to the table, think you need to explore in some depth with her if that's something she can actually do at this point in her life. Be wary of any love bombing done as a band aid fix to keep you around.
FMW Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 We have had so many great times together, I'm afraid she doesn't realize how good she has it. It can be really hard when we give our all to a relationship and are "all in" to understand why the other person doesn't feel the same but sadly it happens. Save that love and commitment for someone who is capable of happily returning it in equal measure.
