I read what you wrote Sterling and it sucks. Now i'm no expert on any of these things, except to say that from reading many a similar thing before it doesn't look good. Refer to my topic about the DJ Bible, i believe it may be just what you need. Here's the link
DJ BibleIt layman terms it would be like this:
Don't go by a womans WORDS, but by her ACTIONS.
She's an attention whore, spilling her emotional crap onto you while prob banging this Paul dude. She's having her cake and eating it at the same time. You wonder why she won't cut contact? Cause you give her the attention that she craves. Knowing that you "love" her is feeding her ego.
"She's playing games because her mentality isnt all there and shes just immature.What I did was over the edge but I've just been mentality beat and not myslef because of all of her mess and problems. Then im the one that has changed or been there for her..its stupid."You said it yourself, your gut tells you things that dont sit right. You've been on and off with this girl for 3 years, you have feelings for her, and it drags you down the fact that she isn't making forward progress when the two of you are/were a couple. Ok, a question..........could you walk away from this girl today, cutting all contact with her and get on with your life? Be honest here. If not then you have to look closer. You can't change another person, they have to want to change for themselves. Your description of her as being "not all there" i can understand. The dangerous thing is when you try to "rescue" her from such a state.
It's known as "Captain Save A Ho". Now i'm not saying your girl is a ho, but you are sacrificing your own happiness and wellbeing by going saviour on her ass. You are hurt by her facebook antics, by adding this Paul and rubbing it in your face. What's happening here is she is seeing you get jealous, needy and insecure. You know yourself that she's playing games. You want her to admit she's lied, but what will this give you?
My advice would be to take time out and ask yourself questions about what it is you want from life. Remember, no girl is "special". There are millions of women out there, don't get caught up on "The One". Your girl aint respecting you, but you aren't respecting yourself either by putting up with crap.
Bully is right in that if she is doing things it's cause you messed up somewhere along the road. Flowers at work every now and then? Dinner dates? Hmm sounds like she lost her attraction to you at some point. Her saying she wants some time to herself is basically saying you're in her face. This Paul may take drugs and be a loser, but he's doing something right for your girl to be "talking" to him. The fact is she aint talking to him, she's drinking his DNA. A harse truth. She won't admit this to you. When she's asked if you have seen someone else or are, this may seem like a normal thing right? It isn't. I've experienced this for myself. The same comment. The reality is that she's been taking it up the ass from Paul for awhile now. You are her emotional tampon. Do yourself a favour, cut contact with her, and move on.
3 years later and is it worth it? By the time you have tortured yourself with the whys? hows? what ifs? you could have found a girl who is "normal". Do it for yourself. In 10 years time, don't look back on your life and regret holding onto a broken relationship that required more effort than was neccasary. There's a time and a season for everything, not all things are "meant" to be.
