Love or obsession?

Long story but im devastated by it.

I met this girl like a year and a half ago. She had a boyfriend in another country, and when she was living where I live, she was with me. I did everything for her, as she was the first girl to ever let me have a taste of what it was to be with someone. Time passed, we fought.. we didnt talk for a bit more than half a year and she left to live in another country again, with her boyfriend. She broke up and came back and called me. I told her we would take things slow. We ended up dating and she became my girlfriend. She always had alot of secrets and was very moody. I would do everything to try and make things better for here since she didnt like this country. I took her out to dates, went out shopping with her (i bought everything), I would be outside her house at 5am when she would need me and I couldnt go in since she didnt have the keys and her parentes locked the door. I did so many things for this girl. Then from one day to another, things went down the drain. She started acting weird. I thought well ok, its normal things can go wrong for a while. Things never got better and we ended up talking about it and she still loves her ex, but she said she didnt want to be with him, she wanted to be with me. So I thought ok, this can work. We started fighting most of the time, she started saying things and not doing them, ever. I got tired and talked to her about it and we ended up saying we were going to fix things together. 2 days later she calls me and starts shouting at how she didnt feel like my girlfriend, how things were wrong, how I said so many things and always fought and we decided to take a break. We have talked once or twice since, because she had clothes at my house… I did so much for this girl, sacrificed so much, spent so much money, spent so much time… Her car didnt work and we dont live very close but i picked her up and took her to school everyday for a month. I just dont know what to think. Shes been my first everything and im afraid that something will never happen again. I cant even imagine myself liking someone else. Today was supposed to be our 2 “official” months together… Im just really sad all the time, i dont know what to do.. im not going to call her or anything, I can’t.. I feel like she used me for my money and time and effort, she never gave anything back. I know I should get over her and not even care anymore, and this break thing is really just a “break up”, i can feel it. Im just devastated, sad, feeling down.. I said i loved her but now im not sure, since shes acted so wrong with me maybe its just an obsession and fear of being alone forever, since i was alone always before she came around.

I know its alot to read, but just typing helped me out a bit…

oh my god i thought you were some guy who i was going out with when reading the first lines of your post.. but you are definately not!

however, i think i was in the same position, but i was the girl. to me it sounds like you should move on. whether it was love or obsession, you should probably just remember it when it was good and leave it at that. you sound like you may be quite young, so you have your whole life ahead of you and you will definately find this again. i know this is easier said than done of course :)

ps. bit random but your post reminds me of a spanish song called Obsesion by Aventura, in case you want to hear your post in a song in espanol!

heheh i know that song, im 20 years old. Its just so many thoughts of is she with someone else, was she cheating on me, do i really deserve being mistreated this way.. All my friends tell me that I make them look bad when it comes to treating a girl, i mean i was there for EVERYTHING, I was the best friend, the boyfriend, I even took some parent rolls like taking her to the doctor, getting her clothes, taking her places cuz they didnt have money for any of that… I just feel so used, after so many things I did.. And it was so easy for her to say lets just be friends, I mean who wouldnt want a friend that would do so much for you? I did soooo much… It just hurts to think about her being so cold about everything and lying so much.. Im trying to move on, i started going to the gym, studying more for my tests and exams, hanging out with friends.. But shes everywhere.. every song i hear, everything i see.. I dont know what else to do.

I guess the only thing that is gonna make you feel better is time. At the moment you will be sad, but then you will probably get bored of being sad and pretend to be fine, and then one day (hopefully not too far away, but you can’t rush it) it will just come to you and you will think “ha i am totally over you!” and you actually will be fine. Just take it day by day.

I am a girl who falls head over heals for horrible boys and messes around the lovely ones. I know this makes me sound horrible but I can’t explain why I do this and I am working on it! Not all girls are like this!! Don’t stop being nice as you sound lovely and definately don’t deserve to be treated like that. However a relationship should be balanced, be careful people don’t take advantage of you being so nice.

ps… it is nice to think about some one else’s problems for a while not my own!

Where is a man like you when you need/want him?? Geez, you sound like a sweet guy who didnt deserve to be treated so coldly. Like anon said it will take time. Im not going to lie you are probably going to be scarred and have your walls up the next go round. Just dont let that stop you from finding someone who will treat you the same as you would them. You live and you learn. Now you will probably know the signs when to leave instead of letting it drag on this long.

Nice guys always finish last… Girls kind of lose respect for you when you do too much for them. It’s always good to be a gentleman but it’s not good for you or the girl if you spoil her. First love is always the hardest, I know I will never forget mine which kind of sucks. Its something I have to live with. Also, she’s mistreating you and you deserve to be treated better.

Been there done that. You are just being used and time to move on. Just hope you didn’t get scorched too bad on the money front.Face it for what it was. Accept that it is over. See it for what it was. Take from it what you have learned.FAST. Right it on a post-in and everytime you are lamenting it, read it.

post-it it is, thanks.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I want to tell you something and this is the truth!
I just read an article. It was about nice guys like you.
Yes, you would think that doing everything in the world for the girl would buy her love, but it doesn’t. She’ll just end up saying. “Look, you’re a nice guy, but lets just be friends.” I know it’s opposite of what you would think. Girls just aren’t attracted to guys who simply do everything for them.
I’ve made the mistake too. I had to read about it to understand it..it doesn’t work like in the movies. She took advantage of you man. I’d recommend reading some books about dating so that you have better luck in the future and get the right girl you deserve.
