Yes, this is related in some ways to my post about my girl. However, not in the sense that I cannot let her go. She has since been very cool with me and wants to make things work- I am sort of in limbo myself. I love her and will stay with her as long as she can be happier. She is sad and dosen't know why and frankley I cannot make her happy- that is for her to do. As hard as it would be I have accepted that most likely this will not work out- too much water under the bridge and maybe we'll drown. The financial part of it is tough right now and I can deal with that too. She wants us to get another apartment this month, which I will go along with and in the meantime save money just in case. I am covering my ass this time. I have laid it out on the table with her, I will do what she needs but things have to change for the better....I cannot be with someone who is sad all the time and faking what happiness I see. As for the sexual aspect, she says she is done with the "other" guy and that she realized we are more important-DUh! Anyway, she was raped when she was young and I am thinking that I am stepping on some of her repressed feelings about those sorts of things. She said today that she hates herself and feels trapped...not very healthy for a 23 year old girl. She said she dosen't know who she is. These are all signs that I need to be out of the picture for awhile-like you guys have been saying. Perhaps when she gets upset she is laying the feelings and blame on me and the real cause is something entirely differant. This stuff gets so complex that it boggles my mind. I am going to do my best to act indifferant without being a jerk- I need to give her some privacy and space. I need to figure myself out too.

Thank you for PERFECTLY clearing up allot of what I have been thinking. I copy and pasted what you said so I can refer to it. The thing about jelousy is what I have been trying to figure out- that is why I have been so wanting her the past week....now I feel better knowing I am not crazy!
To Vinylgroover:
You are also right about allot of what you said- she did move on emotionally as well as physically...she is in the process of fixing that but time will tell and I am not a gambling man but I would bet we end up not working. Most people are not as into making it work as I am. I am oldfashioned in that respect. Anyway, thanks for your words.
