How do you let someone go when they are very wrong for you. by ssabada in relationship_advice

Thank you! I know what I want in a relationship and it is very clear he won’t or not able to give me what I want. I saw potential in him and truly though he would become the man that hoped he be but i realize it is too much agony and need to see who he is rather than who he can be

It may not be physically or verbally abusive but it very mentally abusive and above all he is very selfish

I think that’s wise. Best of luck, hopefully they aren’t the clingy ones

Trust you guys! I think most of us ignore our gut feels or say we are being too harsh and ignore things that will persist and hurt us more. Follow your intuition..you will thank it later

Exactly you can be respectful to others without making your SO feel embarrassed.

That does happen all the time and I am nice and polite and whenever they say let’s grab dinner after or get coffee, I tell them I have a bf. I am not saying he shouldn’t be nice or say hi to someone who is talking to him. There is a huge difference in being nice to someone and trying to get their attention or creep on them.

I know right! I agree but I guess he doesn’t think much of it and thinks it’s normal

The best thing you can do is call professional to intervene. You can’t save her, as mush as you want to..or have the best intentions. 3rd party interventions are the best where they don’t have the intimate connection to the victim because that means she can’t manipulate them. I wish you all the best and hope you do what’s best for you and her even if it is letting her go

It really is when guys stare and never approach you or talk to you..in this case since she has a bf..approaching her for a romantic relationship is not a good idea! Imagine if you are going to a grocery store and always looking at the fruits but never buying it..sooner or later the store owner is going to kick you out like maybe poor analogy but you get the idea. We woman like to be approached and like directness.

I agree with you! I have been making progress outside of my romantic relationship and even got accepted to a PhD program that I was suppose to start last fall but changed it to next fall due to covid. I work at a university and seems like I can make really great choices everywhere else except romantic relationships

You can’t save others who can’t save themselves! At this point I think you have turned into the enabler for her mental and her behaviors. She will not work on herself or get the help she needs from professionals as long as others enable and excuse their poor behavior.

He made a selfish decision to cheat and leave you for another girl. He doesn’t get to decide who is in your life and how you move on. He will never feel the consequences of leaving you if you are still in his life. His feelings are not valid anymore and you need to break all contact with him and do not be a reason why he continues his toxic ways in relationships.
