doublej Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Question for anyone... Currently in a long term relationship with a girl that I care about alot but I can now see that a future isn't going to work for us and I do not see myself marrying her. At this time she still acts as if she isn't aware of any long term probs. We've been together for over a year and living together for the past 7 months and renewed a lease in May to further complicate things. i do really care about this girl, but it simply is not going to work. She is overly emotional/sensitive which will make things even more dramatic and that is one of the reasons for my decision to end this portion of our relationship. Any ideas about the best way to go about this or similiar stories would be appreciated... Thanks J. Link to post Share on other sites
StartingAgain Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 A year long relationship and living together for seven of those isn't a long term relationship. It's a short one. You are rather vague about why you think this isn't going to work out. The single reason you state sounds pretty much typical young female behavior filtered through a young, inexperinced male's perception. Having said this, realise that this is not a long term relationship and the two of you are not married. You should just end it. Someone is going to have to keep the apartment or pay the penalty for breaking the lease. Since you want out, that someone must be you, not her. Next time, don't jump into living with a woman you've known a mere three months. Link to post Share on other sites

genie Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I guess you would have to give us examples of overly emotional/sensitive. Unless you feel that couldn't be worked on, she is probably this way because of her past. I want to wish you luck finding a woman that isn't emotinal and sensitive. If they're not, it's usually because they don't give a crap. Link to post Share on other sites
blackchina Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Why do you feel that the relationship is not going to work out? Have you communicated those feelings to her. Anything good requires work do you feel like she is not worth the work anymore? Link to post Share on other sites

If your reasons are legitiment, I'm sure she'll understand. Realize that she will be hurt but better sooner than later. Link to post Share on other sites
