Love help: Hello.. - Help.com

Hello..

I know this is long but PLEASE take time to read..
I’ve been with my girlfriend for nearly 18 months.. she has a daughter who is now 4 , I love her too just as much as my girlfriend..everything was great until a couple of months ago when we started bickering over little things.. she saying she felt that I doubt that I love her when I really do. Also, at the same time, an old friend of hers appears at the same time and then, this friend, wanted them to “get married” for charity and for me to give my girlfriend “away” .. (like a father of the bride). I agreed at the time but a few days later, changed my mind and said no. Also, this friend constantly posted pics up on my girls Facebook wall of silly things and silly posts like “love u ,xxxxx”.. etc. etc… Then on a night out with my girl, we bump into her friend and she pulls me aside when my girl is gone to the toilet and tells me I’m driving my girl away by “doubting” my girl loving me. I tell her friend I love my girlfriend and to mind her own business.. What’s going on here?? Is her friend trying to stir trouble up??
Then, a few weeks later, My girlfriend says she wants a break, as she said her head is “wrecked”… her father ain’t well, work was giving her trouble.. and she was having trouble with her best friend who she lives with along with her daughter.. we don’t meet up for two weeks, then she tells me she went to the doctor and is prescribed prozac..do doctors prescribe prozac as easily?? She wasn’t herself at all when we met up after the two weeks , completely down and out compared to her bubbly, happy self.. I tell her I love her and will wait for her.. She says she loves me but not to wait as I’ll torture myself as it could take months she said.. Also, myself, my girlfriend and daughter are meant to go on holidays in a month… What do I do??? I REALLY don’t want to lose her as I’m CRAZY about her and really do love her! PLEASE HELP!!

in my 195 yrs, i realize it’s too late for me
couple months ago, i had a guy visit with me, would tell people he was
with his gf. Than all of a sudden he didn’t call, I noticed i was the one
who seemed to call after not talking for couple days. So i stopped
it’s been over a month. When i saw him he asked sis i lose his #,
He could have called me, but didn’t; told him i assumed he dumped
Years ago, tghere was no closure, no call saying it’s over
they just stopped calling. i know when you assume something
but he could have called me sometime in the past month & half

Sorry, let her know how much you really love h

I told her when we last met that I’m in this for the long haul and that I’m mad about her and her daughter, but like I said, she simply wasn’t herself, couldn’t even look me in the eye,I’m heartbroken here.. :(

This woman isn’t ready for a relationship. But, yes, doctors will prescribe Prozac at the drop of a hat.

Yes, this “friend” is driving a wedge between the two of you. And who knows? Maybe she has romantic designs on your girlfriend!

Tell you what I’d do: I’d tell her that since she didn’t seem interested in continuing the relationship, she wasn’t going to be seeing or hearing from you any more. If that doesn’t jolt her out of her apathy, nothing will. And if she doesn’t respond, drop her.

There’s really nothing else you can do! Don’t torture yourself! This woman doesn’t know what she wants. Yes, you will torture yourself if you keep pining after her.

My advice: drop this one and find a woman who DOES know what she wants. You’ve wasted enough time on this girl!

Hopefully she will, I love her sooo much but she don’t want me to wait for her as I’ll “torture” myself, her words, not mine.. Would u think her friend played a part in breaking us up??
And also, would u know if ya went to the doctor syaing ya were feeling down, would the doctor prescribe prozas straight away as it may be very strong??

But why did she pull me along for as long if she wasn’t ready for a relationship?? We talked about moving in together as well after 2 years!

Yeah, I was thinking this “friend” is bad news all along, she obviously is but my girlfriend can’t see that.. :(

I know, that dropping her thought did cross my mind but I don’t know if I’m ready to.. should I wait 2 weeks and see do the Prozac work? As she said they may work in 2 weeks or also could take months?

I really miss her.. and I just wannna be with her.. :(

John, I think she’s giving you the brush off. There may be more than meets the eye with this “old friend.”

I think you should cut off contact with her. If she contacts you, in the meantime, tell her that you feel she doesn’t want you any more, so you have disappeared from her life.

You cannot make someone love you . . . you can only allow yourself to be loved!

In answer to your first question, I think you were a kind of emotional crutch for her. Now she has this “friend” and she doesn’t need you any more.

Perhaps there’s a reason that the child’s father is not living with her . . . a very good reason!

I am cutting contact now alright.. but she is depressed.. I need to talk to her mother maybe and she how she really is? Would that be a good or bad move??

I know, but I really fell for this girl… she was/is my first proper love..

The child’s father ain’t worth talking about.. as soon as he found out he was gonna be a father.. he denied all responsibilities.. and basically cut himself from their lives.. a coward ya might say!!
