You need "Constant communication"- hells nah, id be out

Posted by andstrollbotCan you please explain what you mean by that. Thanks π
I'm like that online

Posted by SilvuhYeah, that seems to be it. I even said if he didn't want a relationship then we could be friends. But he doesn't want that either. Said he doesn't see me as a friend. I really don't know what he wants. I've given him every possible exit strategy but he keeps wanting us to in a relationship. A relationship that he's putting very little effort in. I can't deal with the half-assedness of it all. I'm an all or nothing person. I have a Scorpio moon π His is in Libra. A sign I've had troubles with in the past due to wishy-washyness. Ugh.
Stupid.
He wants the best of both worlds but this ain't Hannah Montana
Good for you OP.

Welcome back WC. I see people only ever come back when things are going wrong.

Posted by brandypWhere did you get THAT from? I said consistency, not constant communication. I do have a life after all.

You're a better person than me than bc who has that kind if time, OP sounds too insecure and kind of high maintanence. >.

Posted by andstrollbotOh ok. Thanks. I get it. I've said he should tell me if/when he needs a break because I get it, I get overwhelmed too.Taking a break is not an issue for me. I just need to be in the know because it's easy to think that you're being ignored or that they've lost interestPosted by WaterCupI get bored with communication always.Posted by andstrollbotCan you please explain what you mean by that.

Posted by Geminigal123Yeah. Should have, could have, would have. Can't change all of that now. I guess I'll ignore him next time he contacts me.Posted by WaterCupPosted by tizianiHey Tiz π

LOL, it's not like that. I decided to check in here yesterday out of boredom. I'm here now so why not play a little violin for myself while at it? π
What's your take on this, Tiz? Should I give this guy a boot? I'm tired!
You should have booted him the time he found out you had sent him a message using his psychic powers.

All of this drama has occurred before you even met him. Do you really think thats a good way to start a relationship when you do finally meet? Do you think hed really change after meeting him? No, I don't think he'd give up his bad habits. Especially the cheating....
I think it's time to move on.

Posted by WaterCupTell him you can't be friends right now and block him. Sometimes that's the only way to get your point across.Posted by pinkbird03

You're right. I've given up already. I just wish he'd stop guilt-tripping me when I stop talking to him. I want him to go away at this point.

Posted by Redoctober2000Lolest! I'm so sad...NOT!
HE'S NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU AND YOU ARE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM!!!!
You have not even met yet!!!!
Are you kidding me!!!
You live in separate countries and not one of you has attempted to meet up and make the relationship "real" instead of "online"?!!!!
So I suggest you keep it moving...
The Taurus does not want you. He just sees you as a possession. Give him time in his new relationship and you will become a distant memory... "out of sight is out of mind"...

Posted by RiverLeeI had the same mentality you have before. But these things sometimes happen & catch you off guard. I'm a testament to that π Never again! It's way too much work.
I don't understand how people get so wrapped up in online relationships to begin with. I could never take one serious, to me they sound like pretend pseudo relationships. Too many hugely important elements are missing that are necessary in a relationship. You can't see each other face to face, no affection, no sex, no activities done together, can't see how they interact with other people, can't see how they are with friends and family or be involved in their actual life. And you're supposed to pass up real life people who you actually see and who you could do those things with and stay loyal to someone you just exchange emails with? Pfffttttt Nope. Couldn't do it.

I think I'll just ghost him. Talking leads to more talking in this case. I hope I'm strong enough to ignore him when he makes his next charity round, talking to me π I'm so done.
Thanks for the replies guys πclick to expand

Posted by Redoctober2000Dude, I get you! I really do. And I also see how I might have encouraged this by continuing to respond to his messages. Well, I've seen the light.Posted by WaterCupPosted by Redoctober2000Lolest! I'm so sad...NOT!

I've given him that option, but he came back with a new story, saying that relationship is over. So don't make it sound like I'm hounding him when he's the one refusing to let go.
Btw, a relationship is only defined by those in it. We called it a relationship because it was a relationships to us despite the distance.
Anyway, I hope the out of sight out of mind comes soon π Because I'm a champ of that myself π But I can't do it while he keeps popping in, SEE? *in my best mafia voice*
He can't enter a brick wall can heβ? YOU let him in!!! PERIOD!!
If you deleted and BLOCKED all his numbers AND permanently kept it moving there's no way he could get to you!!
Also you say it's a "relationship" but how can it be when he has your permission to "date others"?!! Smh!!
This whole thing is a joke.. You've only wasted 9 months. Keep it moving so you don't waste any more!!!

Posted by aquanibVery true. Well, the meeting up part was/is not an issue for me. I'm not in a hurry. I was fine with how things were because I was still "studying" him. Now I'm not sure if I even want to meet him anymore. I just want it over & done with before it gets any more toxic. Unstable relationships are like crack to my system π I see this one becoming addictive if it continues. I'm trying to break the pattern of drama though. I think he loves the come here, go away cycle because he does things to provoke me & then laughs, saying I'm so funny when I'm angry. He likes it. It's not so funny for me though & it makes me mad that he thinks it's all laughs & gags. One thing for sure, I will escalate until it's not so hilarious anymore. He definitely won't be laughing then! I don't want it to reach that point though. Hence I'll save myself the headache & just go my merry way.
I read the financial issues bit, but 9 months is 9 months. If there's a plan to meet up, it for sure can be done in less time, finances notwithstanding. You can earn for a return plane ticket and a week in some hotel in 9 months.
Take the lack of this as a sign of his commitment.

Well him lying to you, there's no trust there. But that's not surprising given you haven't met each other in person. If you don't plan to meet then yes, give it the boot.click to expand


Posted by Redoctober2000LOL. TBH, I don't think I'm ready to be in a "real" relationship with someone I have to see on a daily basis or I'd be with someone right now π Reason why I started up with him in the 1st place. I knew he lived faraway (same continent). I was looking for a "pen-pal" so to speak. But things got a little complicated π I guess I'm now curious to see where this will lead, if anywhere. Either way I'll be fine. I'm not in a hurry to meet up with him (or anyone else for that matter). I do enjoy his company though. Hence I now wanna ditch the frills & be platonic like we were in the beginning because I do enjoy talking to him (when it happens). Does that make sense? I'm not stuck. He was/is a good friend. He sure sucks as a "BF" though because my expectations tend to be "up there". Not that I was asking for much either, IMO. Shrugs.
MOVE ON OP!!!
Until he makes plans to meet you in person OP you are wasting your precious time!!!?!!
There ae other people out there down the road from where you live. Go out and meet them!!!
Just MOVE ON!!!

How's life? Any hunk in the picture? π

Posted by Redoctober2000Do you have to know someone in real life to consider them a friend? I don't. I speak to another girl I haven't met & we call each other friends. Welcome to this century! π Anyway, IDK, but maybe I'm not explaining myself well enough. But me & this guy were friends, in the internet sense. We talked about each others' day, etc... before things got muddied up by feelings. There's a lot that happened in the 9 months we've known each other- good & bad. I'm human, I can't be talking to someone this long without considering them...something. Like, I'm not even broken hearted overthis whole thing. I guess with internet dating you learn to adjust your feelings according to the situation. All I know is that I've not been acting like my real self here. I've been cutting him a lot of slack because at the end of the day I know it's not real. He could be telling me one thing & doing another, I'm not there to verify anything he says. So I've been taking his word with a grain of salt....& sometimes a headache tablet π
OP, you are delusional!! What "friend" you haven't even met in person so how can you view him as a friend and 2) why come on here to waste our time?!! Smh!

Posted by justagirlWonderful! Congrats on the job thing. Well done. Surely things will also fall into place in the relationship front, for you. Relationships are just so...ugh. I was also with a crab a while back. It wasn't as bad as I imagined it would be. I'm starting to believe that astrology is trash lol. Because I get along better with incompatible signs.Posted by WaterCupLife is good, got a promotion at work.. was dating a crabbie for just under a year but that ended in June.Posted by justagirlLOL, IKR.

Anyway, things were going very well in the beginning. We talked daily & for hours at a time. But some time in December, one month into our "situationship", I noticed that he wasn't as chatty as before. I felt like he was pulling away or whatever. This bothered me because I was curious about what brought this sudden change. I thought that maybe he was losing interest, so I asked him if he wanted to break-up. I don't beat around the bush, especially about things that concern my time & my feelings. He said no he didn't wanna break-p. But didn't explain why the communication was tapering off. So I let it slide, assuming that he was just "settling in".
Months following that, we had even worse communication problems. Him taking as long as a couple of hours to respond to an email, unlike before. Now this one is a big issue for me. It upsets me. I get angry lol. I brought up this issue with him & he seemed to get it, only to ignore me for 3 hours on Skype. I became irate. I sent him a message telling him that this was not going to work because I require consistent communication or no communication at all. I broke up with him on the spot. He quickly replied with some excuse, saying he forgot to sign-out of the App. Meaning, he wasn't online in those 3 hours blah blah blah. Funny how quick he responded for someone that wasn't online though! He must be psychic! Nonetheless, I forgave him.
In April he did it again. This time I didn't bother talking to him, I simply deleted Skpe. A week passed, he noticed I didn't respond to his Skype messages, so he gave me a call. I couldn't speak to him at the time, so I sent him an email, telling him that I was at work, etc. In email we talked about the Skype issue & why I deleted, etc. He said that hurt him & he broke up with me. That was the 19th of April. May rolled-by. It was his birthday. I didn't wish him one. I moved on. But some time towards the end of May I received an email from him simply saying that he misses me. No apologies. Nada. We kinda continued where we left off & never really talked about the break-up afterwards. Happily ever after, right? Fat chance! The communication issues continued soon after the "re-connection". This time I asked him if there was anybody else that he was talking to, another female. He said no. Of course I wasn't buying it, so I kept asking himthe same question in 101 ways until he finally admitted that there was someone. I then said I'd leave him alone to explore the relationship with the other person, since IMO, it stands more chance because they're in close proximity, etc. He said no I shouldn't break-up with him because he considers that relationship a fling blah blah blah. I broke it off anyway.
