Still Struggling – Any chance she might come back?

Discussion in 'Sex, Love & Relationships' started by richdeniro, Sep 11, 2018.

  1. Basically back at the beginning of January I met a slightly older woman and we kind of hit it off, I'm 38 by the way. Well to cut a long story short, I was seeing her quite intensely… I don't really know how to describe the relationship as we weren't boyfriend/girlfriend but it was a lot more than friends with benefits. She's 45, three kids and just divorced although she's still living with her ex-husband – they been separated for 18 months now, have separate rooms and the house is up for sale although taking forever to sell but they are also trying to make it easy on their kids.

    Anyway so the story is that from January to May we were seeing each other pretty intensely, almost every night and we even went away for Valentines Day and her birthday. When we weren't together it was whatsapp 24/7. Everything was going good but at the end of April she started saying things like she felt she was holding me back from meeting someone my own age and possibly having a family of my own, I told her to stop overthinking but she was adamant that we should take a break. So we went for three weeks in May without any contact, I got back in touch with her and we chatted a bit and she dropped the bombshell that she had started seeing someone. It hit me quite hard and I went a week feeling bad in all honesty and eventually messaged her a long winded message saying I wanted her to be happy and couldn't do the friend thing. I then blocked her and deleted her from FB. Kept her blocked for about a week before messaging her just before I went on holiday for a few days saying I had fallen for her, wanted to be with her, didn't care about the complications, baggage, etc, etc. It was all true.

    We then arranged to meet up when I got back and went for a meal and to the cinema at the beginning of June, I fully expected us to just be friends and she was going to let me down gently after having sent that message but in the cinema she held my hand and then afterwards we went back to mine. I thought we were back together. I asked her about the guy she had been seeing and she said it was over and nothing, was just a couple of dates. A couple of days later she was working in another part of town and her company put her up so I went to stay over at the hotel she had been put up in and we went out in the evening, the entire night she seemed really distracted and was on whatsapp a lot, almost every opportunity she had like when I went to the bar or the toilet. I called her up on it and she said it was nothing. We saw each other a few other times in June but it was constantly on my mind.

    I had also noticed that she wasn't messaging me anywhere as near as much as when we first got together and it sounds a bit stalkery but everytime I went on Whatsapp I could see she was online, I'd message her and even though she was online it would take sometimes an hour to respond and it felt like someone was more her priority. Throughout most of June it just felt like I was making all the effort to message her and it was a chore to her. She also kept going out with her friends on a Friday or Saturday night rather than see me. Then I noticed one time when she came over to mine and we were on the sofa watching tv but she then went on whatsapp, a few times she leaned forward so I wouldn't be able to see who she was messaging. I caught a glimpse of her whatsapp and there was 4 numbers there where she hadn't saved them as a contact so instead of a name you just see +4479 and then the rest of the number. I'm assuming now these were guys who had given her their numbers on nights out or something along those lines.

    This was massively bugging me so a few days after that I sent her a long message asking what was going on and if she was in an emotional relationship with someone else and she wrote back saying that she wasn't seeing anyone but in a roundabout way was keeping her options open – she's always maintained that long term she needs someone her own age and who also has kids. I didn't really know what to think and she said can we just keep things casual. I didn't really want to but kind of agreed but she kept coming up with excuses whereby she couldn't see me.

    We met up for a drink two month ago and spoke a bit about it and she asked if it were possible for us just to be friends. I told her I don't think I can and said I obviously want more, told her to sleep on it and the next night she sent me a message saying: “Rich sorry but gonna take a break I'm sorry don't worry I won't block you as we can still stay in touch x things are different in not feeling it anymore x sorry x”. I asked if there was someone else and she replied with “Of course I meet people when I go out I suppose i won't know what I'm looking for until it hits me”. The final message she sent read “I suppose I just need to fancy someone more please don't feel bad I know you have tried harder lately buts it's not enough sorry”.

    And that's it really, I didn't reply to that and haven't contacted her since – 60 days no contact today actually. She messaged me the night after ending it with ‘You ok?' and I didn't reply and two weeks after that tried to reach out if you can call it that by challenging me to a game of Words with Friends on Facebook, again I ignored and deleted her as a Facebook friend a few days after that. Going through a second break up with her in the space of a few months and it sucks a bit I suppose.

    I feel better than I did in the immediate couple of weeks after but am still struggling, I think about her all the time and wonder each day if today might be the day she gets back in touch but I think she has probably moved on now that it has been a couple of months, she is probably seeing someone else too.

  5. lol, bro, women do not say shit like "I do not want to hold you back!!" and mean it... Women have every intention of holding you back and getting what they came for, which means she was probably seeing this guy when she was seeing you and figured she liked the other guy more and now your just her fuckin' little hoe boy that she can call up when she feels like she needs a lil' hoe around.

  6. I read the entire thing. Phew. It took a while. But, the way I see it, she liked you in the beginning. You made her feel special. But then as time goes on she meets other people and trys things out with them. The problem here isn't her really. It's you. You have feelings for her but they aren't reciprocal. It's ok. She's being mature in the fact that she doesn't want to hold you back. She wants you to find someone that feels for you, the way you do for her. It sucks. And she wants to find someone that she has a deeper connection with. The sex may be great, but she wants more. But ignoring her messages most likely doesn't work in your favor. She obviously cares about you and you dissed her when she reached out. Now you wonder if she's gonna contact you again. She may not message you. You had your chance and ignored her.
    When I hear things like this, I think of the song by Queen, Find Me Somebody to Love.. But, because I don't think the song makes much sense. Finding somebody to love isn't hard. Finding somebody that you love and being loved back is the tough part finding. Good luck.
    But, all of what I wrote doesn't amount to a hill of beans if she's simply a hoe. But I'm not feeling that.
     
  7. At 38, you shouald be well past the "playing games with someone." Common sense my man. Just use common sense and not get pussy whooped. She played you. You were a tool and this is her MO.
    But I think that's to late here. Soooooo, let her go, move on, and dont make this mistake again. There's good people out there. Without baggage and drama.
     
  8. Being alone is easier man. Sometimes I just hit it and, quit it. If I get the opportunity. Solves the horndog problem. Other than that you don't need em. Unless they're friends.
     
  9. Run away fast and be glad you didn't get involved.
     
  10. You’re young man move on get a younger girl. Not worth the trouble even if me and my wife separated she knows I’m going to put the first 5-6 guys in the hospital. Not sure why but I would need to do this.
