Dear Mike,

Yeah, I can understand that living in a studio apartment and doing everything together would cause your ex-girlfriend to feel smothered.

Now that you no longer live together it’s probably best to be friendly with her, but to move on. Analyze your relationship; figure out what was good and what was bad about you with her, her as a partner for you, and you in a relationship. Learn from your past and take those valuable lessons with you into your future relationships.

Sincerely,

Suzanne White Montiel

No matter HOW HARD IT IS, you MUST stop TALKING to her for at LEAST a month (unless she contacts you first).

Do NOT text her, do NOT call her, do NOT email her, and do NOT facebook her. Just relax, and do you. Even if you are DYING to contact her, SHE doesn’t need to know it.

GIVE her time to MISS you. If you’re always CONTACTING her, she will get ANNOYED, which is the OPPOSITE of what you want. So you must give her some space. Give her some air, and let HER contact YOU! If she doesn’t contact you within a MONTH, it’s ok then to leave a post on her FB wall or something, just to remind her that you’re around. But DON’T take it FURTHER unless SHE does.

ALSO, take this time to REFLECT. Take this time to THINK. Take this time to focus on YOURSELF, and see if you even still WANT her in a month. Focus on work, talk to other girls, enjoy your life. Be happy with YOURSELF. If you do all that, you may come to realize you don’t even NEED this girl as much as u thought you did.

I had a situation recently where a girl who was ALL OVER ME, suddenly stopped talkin to me because her feelings got too strong. I wondered if that was true, if there were other reasons, if we could just try one more time, etc. But then, I just suddenly REALIZED, I don’t NEED her in my life. I just WANTED her in my life. I was fine BEFORE her, I’ll be fine WITHOUT her. So, if this is what she wants, let her be HAPPY. If she REGRETS it, oh well. She HAD the chance to make a better decision. If she chooses WRONG, so be it. All you can do, is let things play out, and maybe she’ll realize she wants you back after all. But even if she DOESN’T, you’ll be FINE by then.

Too often we get our self image through other people’s eyes. You have to get your own self image independent of anyone else. You need to feel good about yourself which clearly you don’t. You describe yourself as clingy and needy.

Women are attracted to strong self confident men. You need to go out and get a good job and accomplish some goals to as to be able to feel good about yourself. You need to be self supporting with your own place. Then you are ready for a relationship. Go out an do it. The more you keep nagging the girlfriend the more you are going to piss her off. In fact don’t call her at all, let her call you. Get busy on my advice and I promise that it will go better for you.

You are sappy, clingy, etc. because you are immature. You have precious little experience as an adult and it’s clear that you’ve invested far too little of that short time discovering who you are, what matters to you in this short lifetime, and how to love yourself for who you are. You are not with her because you love her. You love her because you think you need a life raft to cling to in the stormy waters of life… proof positive that you are still a kid.

Leave her. Move in on your own. Travel. Work. Fend for yourself. Have all the sex you want (safely), but do not under any circumstances have a serious relationship. Learn who you are and learn to love yourself and what’s truly important to you. This process will take you until you are at least 30 and probably longer. Then and only then will you be ready for anything that remotely resembles a mature loving relationship. Until then, it’s immature love at best.

Immature love says, “I love you because I need you.”

Mature love says, “I need you because I love you.”

That may seem like a small difference, but it’s actually the most profound difference imaginable.
