Just to end the story really - I went down to Uni to grab the rest of my stuff and move out properly on saturday. Sunday night - tuesday I was meant to be seeing the ex to get all my stuff and hang out for abit. She calls on saturday night to say she"s picked up an extra shift at work for the monday so can now only see me on tuesday. I said that isn"t OK with me and that I"ll see her sunday night for a few hours then head home as I didn"t want to hang around until tuesday in a town with none of my friends in as theyd all moved home. She refused this and got really childish so I told her I"d knock on her door sunday night for my stuff, if she wanted her mum to give it to me then that would be fine by me. She called me back an hour later to apologise for how she"d acted and to ask if we could see each other for a few hours on sunday, I accepted as I did want to see her and have a nice goodbye and perhaps abit of honesty and closure.
I went there tonight, picked her up from work and we went to hers so she could change - she"d text me during the day saying how she"d love to "go for food and then snuggle" so that"s what we did. Until she out of the blue tells me she wants to goto bed early as she"s had a few late nights (4am"ers as she"s been calling me around 3.30am each time) and is shattered. I"m puzzled as she"s been saying she loves me so much etc etc over dinner. She"s kissing me and staring at me over dinner and is talking about how much she loves me which had me kinda ready to spend the night there for some good break up sex and then head home. We get to hers around 8.20pm and she says she wants me to go at 9pm so she can have a quick chat with her mum and then goto bed. I got abit pissed as I"d wanted to see her for longer but let it go. She was now really reluctant to kiss me and would only hug etc for brief periods and eventually was standing by the door at 8.55pm to usher me out. She walked me to my car and we said our goodbyes, she asked if she could come and see me for a few days later in the month as she can"t stand not seeing me and I said I"d think about it as we"d have to arrange the dates soon.
On my journey home I realised she"d got a text during dinner from one of her main friends who she"s been going to the pub with every night for the past 4 nights and then I started to wonder if maybe thats why she all of a sudden wanted such an early night and that she was so inclined to get me out of the house so she could get ready and go out. I very much doubt it was so she could have another man over due to how she is atm and that from reading her phone (stealthly I may add!) she didn"t have any signs of that on there. I text her on my way home and basically outlined what I suspected and how I"d be really pissed if the last time we saw each other she cut it short just so she could go to the pub with her friends like she does every other night. I got home around 1.15am, logged onto facebook and saw she"d posted on a mutual friends wall around 12.30am so I"m assuming I was right and she did go out as she had claimed she wanted to be in bed by 9.30pm.
So there we go, my apologies for not taking your advice and I like to think I"ll learn from this and be less easy going and a bit less of a door mat in my next relationship. But that"s how this story ends I guess. I understand I allowed her to act like this by being so submissive during the relationship, but I thought she"d have more genuine affection and care to enjoy our last night togeather. Ahh well, there we go!
Well as I said before which you obviously didnt fully pick up on is that you need to take control. You did it in the beginning and it got you results, do what you want not what she wants, its your life now not hers, shes moving out of your life and you"re trying to move on asap, when you did that she quickly reacted to your alphaness (pro!) and you got your way.. it wasnt until you gave in, picked her up and took her out to eat where you allowed her to be lovey dovey (her back in control) where you began to lose..
she lead you on to make herself feel better, you should learn to recognize this, she wasnt doing it necessarily because she has feelings for you but because she feels bad about the situation and does it to make herself feel better about what shes doing (i had an ex like this, actually talked about it few months later and she told me, plus i kind of saw it after not seeing her for awhile, it makes sense). to further reinforce this fact, she dropped you like a bad habit as soon as somethign better came along that night (aka your plans changed really fast and she went out to see another guy, it was obvious even before you said anything about a text during dinner)
she"s textbook so far.. very easy to read. you need to stop letting her make the moves, get your shit and move on.. how many times we need to tell you this you"re not listening, you had it at first then you let your feelings/dick get in the way and you ended up feeling hurt and out the door by 9pm.. then you do btch move and complain to her via texts which further puts her in more control and knowing she"s got you by the balls..
you got your shit right? you have no more reason to see her, no you dont schedule more dates, its over you"re not #1 anymore, youre #2, she only wants you in her life to make herself feel better havent you ever heard that? my ex dicked the shit out of me, fucked me over hardcore yet everytime we hang out she always says im like ehr best friend and wishes i"d be her friend, its a guilt thing and the way i look at it is if she can friend me then she"ll feel better about what she did to me, so i would point this idea out to you and why she"s trying to "keep" you in her life so she feels better..
you take charge, you got your shit, you"re going to be with your friends on tuesday and never see her again, dont talk to her if at all dont initiate contact with her if you cant handle not talking to her.. dont let her take control you take control, dont do her any favors, dont take her to dinner, dont drive her around etc.. im only saying this cause i doubt you"ll just up and drop her so in the idea that you dont up and drop her, dont do anythign for her, make her do the work.. if she doesnt then theres your proof that she doesnt value you as much as you value her..
good luck man i hope you can stick to not seeing her and finding a girl that will show you there are girls that want your attention and want to treat you nicely.. this girl doesnt know what she wants which is why she"s leading you on while going after other guys.. play by your rules, your desires and you"ll be good to go. i was in your shoes, i followed my ex like a puppy when she gave me the attention, she only further lead me on (yea well we did have sex so i got further than you everytime lmao) but in the end i was always #2 cause yes she would cut plans short to suddenly dissapear, it was nothing new just me being beta and not manning up.. but you learn after putting yourself through it enough, and when you take charge it only makes them chase more.
Now granted the end of the story didn"t really go fantastically. I"d guess that you reverted back to your normal self (and why wouldn"t you, you just started standing up for yourself, it takes time) and that"s why the lovey dovey shit at dinner turned into "you gotta get out by 9pm." At that point, you shoulda probably said, "actually I think I"m gonna head out now," packed up your shit and left. But one step at a time.
I actually have a funny story, its short but when I was around 17 I had an ex girlfriend (gf at the time) that I actually pulled this on, we were fighting at her house, I had just taken her to sarasota for the day and we had lunch at the columbia, rented waverunners and then came back, she was bitchign about somethin and said get the fuck out of my house, i said okay fine cya (exact words) and walked out the door..
5 minutes down the road her sister called me "hey uhh exgf wanted me to call you and ask you to come back, you should have heard her when you walked out the door she said omg sister (leaving names out) im so sad. why exgf? because i told him to leave and he actually left now im even more sad..
that quote/instance taught me a lot about mindfucking.
