Just because this situation requires laughter.

"If you blow chunks and she comes back, she's yours. But if you spew and she bolts, then it was never meant to be."
 
Sorry to hear that Eli. But after reading that list I think you are better off to be quite honest. Good luck. :duff
 
I have mixed feelings. I am very sad because I wanted to marry this woman, and she wanted to have kids. We loved eachother a lot.

Sadly I found out that love isn't everything.

Having said that, I will miss her but we had a pretty ugly fight tonight. I said some pretty mean things I won't be able to take back.

I said I wanted to end it because...

1. She wants me to sell my stuff and constantly puts it down and calls it crap.

2. She hates my cats and wants me to get rid of them, yet they have been a part of my life for 18 years.

3. She constantly makes lists for me of what I should do.

4. I always feel like I am taking her and treating her out.

5. She doesn't get along with any of my friends.

6. She constantly scolds me.

Yet I feel awful losing her... why?

Maybe she never did love me. She wanted this perfect guy.... honestly I got fed up being this guy she wanted so I said I wanted to end the relationship.

I hope I made the right decision. Nobody should have to change for anyone.

Like a buddy once said... a ton of times okay...

Women are _____'ed so _____ them!

Obvisously you were attracted to her for the wrong reasons instead of the right ones. As you can see by your list, she has very little in common with you. How could you even think about marrying someone who hates most of what you love? I'm betting she was very sexy and good in bed. :lol

Not all women are alike. Look for more than what you see and you'll find someone meant for you. Sorry you were hurt. :(
 
You dodged a bullet there, buddy. Most guys don't realize that the woman they're with is a psycho until AFTER they get married. And now you're one of the free! Enjoy it! :joy
 
Sorry to hear that Eli. But after reading that list I think you are better off to be quite honest. Good luck. :duff

Yep, agree with moon totally. There are good ones, and there are bad ones... she sounded toward the bad end of the spectrum with what you were saying.

... and nobody should f with your collection on your animals.

Well, in her defence I became very ugly towards the end.

Being a full-time film student and being stressed out enough with that as it is (heavy case load that never seems to end), you would think that the person who is with you would add to your life and take away from that stress. Rather than adding to it.

We started out as the perfect couple. Then she found out I had Maxims and that was where her confidence and trust started to fade with us. Apparently looking at fully, yet provocatively, and scantily clad dressed woman is cheating. In her mind, it's cheating on a mental level. So you're not truly faithful to your lover. I remember her going on a rampage ripping up my collection. I was like, they are fantasy only. You're my fantasy come reality. These women are just some girls on paper that live thousands of miles away. I have no intention of tracking them down.

I never got that since I have never been known to cheat on anyone. I am as innocent as they come.

1. Not a stalker.

2. I am a student. Too poor to stalk Maxim girls.

So right off the bat there was absurdity in the relationship and how she viewed certain things.

She would always ask questions that would provoke fights or arguments. Would you dump me if a prettier girl came along and asked you out?

If I got fat would you still love me. Then it got worse, and went to some scary stuff I choose not to share with this forum out of respect to the then relationship. Mostly towards the ex.

And anytime I was near the end of a semester like the first one of the year... she called me up and said we're done because apparently I had some stupid website with a chick (again fully dressed) on it, and she was like how can I trust you? She dumped me, but would take me back the same day. But it really f'ed with my head that day. I couldn't get anything accomplished. Who does that, really? And then the negative BS started to build up. That happened during the midst of a heavy project and exam time. Lets just say I lost a lot of muscle and weight during that time due to stress, lack of sleep, and diet. Thankfully I gained back a lot of that muscle in the following semester.

Lets just say I became an uglier person because of the relationship. I started cursing and yelling at her. I didn't like where I was heading. All I know is I am better without her, because I was starting to get scared with how angry I would get. Nobody should ever get you to that state, but man... the nagging just never stopped. It came at the worst times.

So yes, I would say she also did better by getting rid of me.. we both played a factor in the breakup. As much as we loved eachother, we knew how to press eachother's buttons.

I never want to become that abusive tool that we hear so often about, and wonder why these women stick with them.

Sounds like she has self-esteem issues. Alot of women see those girls in Maxim and other magazines and think they should look like that or they can't be happy or make a man happy. But if she didn't like your cats, friends or toys, well there's more to it than just that. You'll be okay. Plenty of fish in the sea!
 
I'm quite happy for you Eli. Some people take a decade or two to find they aren't compatible, and that's sad. Breakups can help define who you really are what you're really looking for. The time you had together was peppered with the good and the bad. It's good that you could both be honest enough with each other to find out sooner rather than later. I think it's worked out well for both of you.
 
I know it sounds hard but you've made the right choice.
I dated a girl once that asked me the same questions. Do I look fat? Well compared to those starved out supermodels yeah you are fat, but I like it.

Would you brake up with me if a prettier woman walked by? What you want to brake up with make, I better call kiera knightly then and tell her I'm still aviable.

She would laugh and know I like her just the way she is. We broke up though because I felt although she was great she wasn't the one.

Good luck man and just do fun stuff with your friends and most importalty date other girls asap. There are more great fish in the sea you know.
 
anybody who really loves you or cares about you wants you to be happy.
Obviously she was more concerned about herself than you, your happiness and your relationship.

Go find a new girl(s) and enjoy yourself and don't look back .... :monkey1
 
I'm sorry to hear about it Eli, but it looks like you made the right decision. It always sucks to break up, even if it is not working out at all... but i have no doubt in my mind that you will get over her sooner than you think.
 
You made the right decision James, you and this girl were not right for eachother. She kept trying to change you when she should have accepted you for who you are from the beginning. It's a very good thing you got to know her first and didn't get married, it would've sucked for all this to occur after making that kind of commitment. I don't understand why some women seem to put up a front and act like they are okay with certain things, then when they get comfortable with you all of a sudden they have a problem with it. Lame. :D
 
Reading through this thread it sounds like you were in a terrible relationship even from the start. You'll have the chance to meet someone now that will make you realize how bad you had it and you'll never look back on this girl again. I say congrats.
 
Sorry to hear that Eli. But after reading that list I think you are better off to be quite honest. Good luck. :duff

Depends on what you want in life I guess, I've been single for 2 years and I'm pretty miserable as far as that aspect of my life goes, but Sideshow and Hot Toys are happy as ^^^^ from it because I've been filling the void with collectibles :lol
 
Eli,sorry to hear that buddy. I dated a girl for 5 years, I was sure she was the one, but I adapted and changed so much to be what she wanted that I forgot who I was. She didn't like my Dad, ( who gets along with everyone) and strained my relationship with him. One day out of the blue , I had decided enough was enough. I met my wife two years later and only dated for 9 months before we tied the knot and couldn't be happier! Hang in there, you're young! Mrs. Eli 26 is out there, now go find her, I'm sure she's at Moose game! If you need to vent PM me!
 
I'm sorry you had to Man up to her. On the bright side there are more women than men in the world. Of course a lot of those women are burnt away in the sex industry, but I'm sure you'll be fine.
 
I think I have to agree with most everyone on the board here. Doesn't sound like you guys had much in common and if you are think of a life long committment thats important. I don't think its necessary for her to like ALL your friends or be happy with your maginzines but theres a level of maturity that comes with a relationship that leads into marriage. (It doesn't sound like she's there yet.) Besides you want to find someone who will have same interests as you. That will go the long haul. Sorry for the break up tho. :)
