How do I keep her?

Category: Personal diary

Me and my girlfriend are going to be celebrating our 2 year anniversary this September...... and now I just really don't want to lose her. We had a rocky moment where she basicly said... "I want to be with you forever, but I'm afraid I'll never get to know how it is to be with someone else"

We both love each other sooo much, but I'm afraid she will end up cheating on me. We discussed the possibility of a trial separation but although she wants to date other guys she doesn't want me to date other girls because she doesn't want to lose me. Not to mention we both hated the idea of being apart.

I don't really know what to do about this. I want to marry this girl some day, but I don't want her to wonder the rest of her life if there is a guy out there better for her then me.

Any suggestions.... Please though..... anyone who doesn't care or intends to leave a rude comment should just disregard this.
Thanks

she wants to see how other guys would be towards her maybe her self esteem is low and she is trying to see if she could get someone else. But the thing is if she loves you she wouldnt want anyone else, I believe she just wants to have fun yet if something goes wrong have you on the rebound so she can be with someone. point is dude, you dont need someone who thinks they want other people, also I believe if she is talking about it then she has probably already cheated on you.

*From the perspective of someone who doesn't know you or her*
I agree with monkeyboy's whole lawn thing... If she is constantly wanting to see what other relationships would be like, there is a good sign that she wont be very faithful. Saying that she wants to see what other relationships are like, but doesn't want you too!?! *smacks forehead*

*sort of teetering over to knowing you perspective.*
I know how much you love her so it is not really going to solve your problem to say that you should break up with her... Just the fact that you were willing to do a trial seperation shows that you love her enough to let her do what makes her happy. (to me this is a terrible idea, but it is all i can think of) most likely even if you did the trial sepr, you wouldn't really date someone else. So... you know maybe you could kind of... idk let her date someone else while you are on reserve, so to speak, better have her do it this once when you know it... then later behind your back. (stupid idea... but again all I could think of)

Trying to be spend an eternity with someone is hard if there with someone else.
If she can't commit 100%, you may have to find someone who can. May not be the easiest thing to do, but as good ol' Will says "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs". If this is maybe abit too drastic, take Lunagetsuna's avice. That sounds good as well. Happy hunting.

I agree with prettyodd, this girl sounds as though she is only half in your relationship. Take her suggestion of separation, but date other girls because if she can't see that she is meant to be with you then she needs her eyes opened. Perhaps a break would be best for the two of you.

Seriously though...

She wants to date other chaps - But wants you to stay faithful?

Fuck that.

Holy crap. Sorry 'bout that. The liquor makes me ramble.

Well i guess you know what i'll say!

Leave her and never let her return to your life. She's trying to play you for a fool.

"The grass is always greener" and all that. If she wants to chew a different type of grass that's fine...but i wouldn't let her back on my lawn.
(So to speak)

um I don't want this to be like rude or anything but mike if she want to see other guys and won't let you see other girls, how do you think that would work in a marriage? That's all I'm saying, just think about that I mean, wouldn't it hurt like hell to see her with some other guy while she's your girlfriend or wife? seriously but if your okay with that then well go for it and good luck if your not then, you need to talk to her. wait yeah actually that is it you need to talk to her no matter what, find out what she wants you know, because she might not want the same thing you do, it's best to know beforehand

I usually try to stay out of things like this because I know absolutely nothing about your relationship besides this short little post, but I'm a little drunk and I feel like throwing my opinion out there anyway.
My first thought is that it sounds almost like a one sided relationship. If you're going to be fully devoted to this girl, then she should be fully devoted to you. If she's not, then I don't think she's worth your time. Or maybe she's just not ready for a relationship. And, again, that's just my first impression. I'm not trying to bash her.
I also think it's pretty ridiculous that she wants to date other guys but doesn't want you to date other girls.
A trial seperation might be good, but you have to understand that it could also mean the end of your relationship.
Either way, you'll figure out if she's ready for a full commitment, or if you're better off finding someone else.

..I've lost my train of thought.

I was madly, deepy in love with a girl for a couple of years who had more issues than The Beano... Long story short, she dumped me to go out and fuck other people even though we both APARENTLY loved eachother more than anything.

Naturally, little Niall went AWOL on drink, drugs, meaningless 1 night stands and broken-heartedness.

Eventually she realised the error of her ways and that as far as boyfriends go i was thee dogs bollocks.
nowadays, were back together and she has never loved me more and showers me with affection...

BUT

Once the the paper has been crumpled it cant be perfect again... i'll never forgive her for the things she done while leaving me and my emotional tempest as collateral damage, just so she could experience some different dicks.
We can never have the relatioship we had before.

SO

If you think your strong enough to endure the pain, jealousy, paranoia and bitterness, then the end result will have her undoubtedly being a better girlfriend AFTER she fucks up and learns from it.
But if you fancy retaining some level of pride and dignity like i didnt, then lay down the law man!

one more thing, love hurts it just takes ALOT of time and lonely nights to get through it.
Comment by TheDarkKnight: 2009-11-12
How do you keep her? Be real with her, tell her how you feel. The whole she doesn't want you to date other girls thing is really immature. Also be honest with yourself, don't allow love to blind you just to end up hurt. Alot of people say love and logic don't co-exist but I like to say Temper the Heart with the Brain.
