RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

“I like you but I don’t think I can deal with this anymore. I really don’t like talking to people and I can’t commit. I’m sorry. I’m not going to break up with you, I just don’t like talking. I like you, but you wear me out.”

But then he still says he loves me and that I’m the only one for him and that no one can take me away from him? i don’t get it?

he hurts me all the time, it’s like the song tainted love says “Sometimes I feel I've got to

Run away I've got to

Get away

From the pain you drive into the heart of me

The love we share

Seems to go nowhere

And I've lost my light

For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night” and “i love you though you hurt me so”

he wants you to break up with him so he doesn't feel bad.

he says he needs me and all that stuff, that i’m the only one who can help him, but he’s sick of talking to me, so that latter part is obviously a lie. maybe he just thought he did. he says i’m such a good person but he doesn’t even like spending time with me anymore even though he says he likes me.

he doesn’t want me to leave him and also i need to help him because he’s suffering. he’s always suffering and he needs me. it hurts. he hurts me. his behavior and his situation, but i like him a lot.

Dude needs to make up his mind. But more than that, I think this is something you should leave for your own sanity.

If he doesn’t know what he wants, then a relationship is not what he needs right now. He needs to fix whatever is going on with himself and then he can worry about bringing someone else in.

I wouldn’t ever feel comfortable bringing someone into my life if I didn’t know what I wanted, relationship-wise. That seems disrespectful to practically waste someone else’s time who may have an idea of what they want and are going for it. Whereas this guy isn’t sure whether he wants you to stay or go. That’s not cool. That leaves you in a position like you’re feeling now, unsure about whether tomorrow will be the same or if he’ll wake up and decide this is it. You want to be confident of where you stand with someone you’re romantically involved with, not constantly questioning your position.
