OP, any updates on this situation?


Yeah, OP cooked Thanksgiving dinner for them and they both took a nap in his room while OP cleaned up.

The worst thing you can do is tell her you don't like her hanging out with this guy. It will immediately backfire on you and she will either hang out with him more or just start to view you as deeply insecure and less of a man.


Why are there all these responses telling him NOT to tell her how he feels about this guy he feels is drivinv a wedge in the relationship? She obviously wants ro be with the OP or else they wouldnt be exclusively dating. One of the main keys to ANY successful relationship is communication. You tell each other about things that are bothersome before they escalate into an argument. How she reacts will also depend on your tone during the conversation. If you truly care about this girl and truly want things to make it long term then you need to put everythinv on the table. She might not even realize that what she is doing is upsetting you. And if she is truly wanting to be with you longterm she will do what she can to make sure she changes the way she acts around him. You cant just expect people to know how you are feeling if you dont let them know. If you are past high school, then you need to forget all this retarded alpha/beta bullshite and just act like a mature adult.

If you cant communicate openly then you arent ready for a serious relationship.

This.
This.
This.

Can we get this stickied so every dude with relationship questions can read it and cut down on some of the bullshite advice that gets posted here, most of which is hopefully facetious, but some of which I'm scared might just be serious.

If this happened then you need to leave.

Tell her your suspicions about him and that you don't like the way she acts around him.

If she thinks you are insecure or starts trying to "get back" then you need to leave.

Exactly. If you can't comminicate in a relationship, it's doomed, plain and simple.

Violin lessons, learning other languages? Don't mean to judge, but it seems like you are trying too hard.

Gotta care less. I know thats not as easy as it sounds. I can't think of a situation where I made more friends while trying. Seems like it usually just happens.

The OP = Freddy (Steve Martin) in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels; meanwhile, this professor dude who is antagonizing him is clearly Michael Caine. Alas, Freddy did play the game and accept the challenge of being the first to nail the female character.

I think everyone is just hoping the OP will come back and let everyone know he walked in on his girlfriend and Dr. Nature, PhD saving the environment by using body heat for warmth rather than turning on the heater.

I tried to give him
Good advice, from a female POV. If he decided to use it or not is up to him.

Regardless... He should expect to be getting a bill in the mail from me an Breesus soon. We were real in here.

But yeah...his GF and Mr. Tree Hugger are fricking. No doubt about it.

The best advice I was given as a young boy and it WORKED:

Pretend you don't care about her. She won't be able to resist.

I cannot do that now in my mid 30's, but obviously the self-adsorbed and insecure college female would certainly be dying to know why you do not care about anything she does.

I seriously never got why people would want to sit around and be with someone who makes them uncomfortable like this. Leave her arse or only talk to her for sex. If she means something to you, tell her what's on your mind. If they don't like it, it's not going to work. It's much more simple than people make it out to be.

They've been dating for 2 weeks and only known her for 8. The last thing you need to do is start trying to control who she hangs out with and what she does.
