On the other hand, she sounds like good wife material. Loyalty and love is going to matter way more to you someday than the little issues you named.

Yeah, but women can sense when their partner is getting distant. They will pour on the charm to change your mind for a while, and keep up appearances, while secretly looking for a new man that actually wants them on the down low. They’ll appear sweet and loyal all the way up to the moment they kick you to the curb for someone whom they feel appreciates them.

No, I didn't mean to give that impression. I am mature in many ways. Important ways. But I think that I really am kind of afraid of "growing up" and putting myself in a "box."


Yeah, that's what I meant in my more than necessary harsh post.

You're not ready for commitment yet.

She honestly sounds too good for you. Best to just cut her off now and let her find a guy who will appreciate having a good woman as a significant other.

You can than go and chase women like your ex, which had passion but obviously failed for a reason.

KIWF for starters. Do you not realize they making a living stealing your soul?

On a serious note, it sounds like you're ready to jump ship but are afraid that you might not find someone as suitable or even more suitable to your needs. It's only fair to her to tell her your feelings about her and maybe she changes some stuff to your liking where it'll push you over the fence to ring her up.

Good luck and waiting for the pics.

Look up the word loser in the dictionary. You should see your picture. If you don't contact the publisher and ask them to edit.

Dude, if she's feeding you, you will go back, and you will learn to like it. I've seen it, she'll screw around on you waaaaaaaay before you think about screwing around on her

This sounds like the kind of thing you are going to frick up.

You're going to break up with what sounds like a great girl that actually cares about you because you don't feel this mythical passion.

Here's whats going to happen: You're going to break up with her. She will be devastated but because she actually sounds like a good catch, she will find someone new and eventually make that dude a great wife.

You will date some sluts, find passion with a total nutjob that will eventually make you miserable...

And then pine for the girl that was actually a good person and good girlfriend for the rest of your life.

Good luck.



Hopefully OP takes this advice to heart, because this is literally his future.

Break up with her now before you break her heart worse. You’re not into her.



but I mean, am I not into her? I didn't say that I wasn't into her at all.

I feel like a abstraction, and vagueness of being "into someone" is a a part of my internal confusion. How do you measure how much you have to be into someone for it to be a good idea to stick it out and for it to be fulfilling long term? If you can't tell already, I overthink things.

I enjoy doing most things with her. We don't fight much, if at all. No serious fights anyway. I am pretty much certain that she'd be loyal to me until the end, and that is my solid opinion that has been formed after only 5 months. The sex if good enough, sometimes its great.

I know that love isn't like the movies, I know that expectations of big things in life are easily manipulated by what we get fed as "romance" , "love" or "satisfaction" in various forms of media. That's why I am trying to be as rational as possible. Somehow that brought me to this board asking you gents these questions.

the relationship is working.

he's stuck in the "is she too ugly for me" and "i think i'm still good looking enough for strange poon on the weekends" mindset.

If you're 31 you should know how hard this is to find.

Your lethargy and apathy towards the relationship will be your downfall.

If you don't change that, she will see it eventually and cut bait herself.

Which is exactly what my last relationship was, and it being in dichotomy with this following relationship, its been kind of a mind frick. But clearly that "passionate" relationship failed.

Scruffy is 31.

That sounds like his relationship.

And he is marrying her.

We have been dating for ~3 years at this point.

We were building slowly over that 1st year though.

She seems like she is emotionally mature and you are not.

Dont date her... or anything with her.
