Hey Gents,
It has been a while since I posted here
I'm in a tricky situation with my current girlfriend. We've been together around 2 years and it has been actually quite good (funnily enough - went with option B that Chase advised on this a while back and stay with her despite the high risk factor viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7860&p=37038#p37038 ). Lately, I've been having second thoughts about if I actually want to go through the next steps (e.g. living together) and have been postponing it as I feel there is more to experience in life before I commit 'for life' (or well marriage) .. And this is where the irony begins
Last year she went on a weekend holiday with one of her best male friends (who is a single casanova wannabe cough) - I took it quite lightly as it was quite early in our relationship and was prearranged blabla.. I did make it clear that I don't think its very cool, but didn't say much else. This year, however, there is round #2 and again she's going with the same guy abroad for a weekend holiday. I acted out a lot more this time as it irritated me quite a bit and made me .. jealous? After some talking I did bury it and was promised this is for the last time and will never happen again... Until I found out that they will actually be sharing a bed there and now I'm running with a shovel in my head
Logically, I'm still pretty confident nothing would happen, but emotionally it feels like she's playing with fire and my nerves. This also would be a perfect 'excuse' to end things and be done with my dilemma about future commitment... And I do feel I'm starting to lose grip on things (e.g. starting to be needy/angry/weak - something I was not 2 years ago..).
I guess the aim of this thread is to get some 3rd party opinions on things? Am I overreacting ? Or is this just ridicilous ? And finally, if I decide not to end it (as I do love her, don't get me wrong ... plus my weak mentality at the moment) - how the hell do I get back on my high horse of manhood?
