Dear saggad:

I am glad you posted here. Regarding this girl, you wrote that she has tried to change you before, and is still trying. Can you describe how she is trying to change you, an example or two?

e.g. she tries to change my life style and change my main stuff which are important to me. for example she tries to make me dress in way that don’t fit to me. she tries to make me speaking as she want, watch stuff that she want and so on…
She tries to make me as a male that lives like other mens here in my town. reading books, reading articles, learning languages, watching animes and programming is so important to me and don’t like really body building! or try to speak like dinosaur to be a “man”. and I can’t find really a girl who like a man who is not like a typical man of my society…

Dear saggad:

Did you communicate to her that you don’t want to dress and speak the way she wants you to, watch programs she wants you to watch, that instead, you want to dress your way, speak your way, do what you want to do?

If you told her so, how did she respond?

I said them to her, and she started to become cold and don’t really respond to me…

Dear saggad:

In your original post you wrote: “I don’t know what to do now… or I should being alone again, and how I could change this?”- she is trying to change you and you communicated to her that you don’t want to change in the ways she wants you to change. But she did not listen to you, did not listen to you with empathy, did not stop trying to change you, correct?

This means that to be in a relationship with her takes for you to pay a very high price for it, to be someone you don’t want to be. It is too much of a price to pay. Let’s say you are hungry and the only loaf of bread you can buy in your town costs $1000. Let’s say you have that money. Will you buy that bread for that much money?

If you are starving, you will, if it is between buying this bread and dying of starvation, you will buy that bread, am I correct?

I hope you are not starving for a relationship, because the price she demands is too high.

Be true to yourself. Change those things about you that you want to change, that you evaluate as needing to be changed (not what she wants you to change because it suits her).

I understand you want to experience that first kiss, and I hope you do soon.

Do you think there is a point to communicate to her once again, very clearly, what you are not willing to change about yourself?

You can ask her if she would like it if a man demanded that she changes this or that about her as a price for a relationship with him, maybe it will make your distress on the matter more clear to her.

Thanks Anita for your help, I think now I have a better view about the problem and what I should do. You right, even if I need something, I should pay it in a proper cost… maybe this in this way I’m going will create a worse situation for me about a relationship. I will go to speak with her clear. and then I will decide about being with her.

Hi Saggad,

Firstly I would say well done for reaching out and having courage to share your situation here.

Your english is just fine.

I think that if you’re confused about which way to go with the girl, then it’s probably a sign that it’s not right for you. The thought of being lonely again would not be the right reason for staying with this girl.

You are still a very young man and have many, many years and opportunities ahead of you, although you may not feel this is true.

Concentrate on exploring the things in life that make you happy, you’ll meet more like minded people along the way and I’m sure that you’ll find a young lady that likes you for who you are and won’t try to change you.

I wish you good luck.

Kevin

I started this topic about 1 year ago when I was 22 years old.
Now I’m 23 years old.
I left that girl who was trying to change me and after her I started a new relationship with a girl who was about 12 years older than me but she really understood me and I felt really well with her. She was fine with everything that I was/am.
But the problem was our distance.
She was not in my town and even not in mu country.
I needed time for being able to go to her country but everything was pretty good and I was trying too hard for earning money and being able to join her, she decided to end the relationship because she felt that she should take serious steps and waiting for me was not good choice.
Everything was happened so quickly and… okay… I’m now in the same situation when I was 1 year ago.
Pretty alone (actually more alone) and I really don’t know how I can fix this issue.
I feel that I can’t find the right person in my city (because the culture, maybe, they don’t like to accepte someone like me as I am) and of course I really fear of being in relationship with someone who is in other country or city (because my last experience)

and I really don’t know what I should do…
I’m seeking ideas.
I really can’t be alone for my whole life of course and I don’t like to be in bad relationship (like that one in my city)

Well
to be honest
I feel that I’m trying to lie to me.
Of course there is a lot of opportunities for being in right relationship in my city, in my country and in the world.

But
My first relationship (which was with a 32 years old woman) was pretty awful. I was in relationship during 3 years with her and during those years I was only taking care of her problems and I’ve never touched her even. It was like… Idk even how I can put that relationship in the words.
I was 19-21 yeas old when I was with her and during that time I was dealing with a lot of problems with her life and her daughters. she was in problems all the time and when she didn’t have problems, she didn’t send message to me even. she left me suddenly over and over when she was in the good mood. but when she had a problem, she sent me a message and I was there to be with her and helping.
those 3 years was absolutely bad.
I loved her but I didn’t receive anything from her…
I don’t know why I was in that relationship… I knew that she only want me in her bad days and I didn’t have any meaning for her at all…
however
after that
I was so anxious. I felt that I should be in the right relationship and being able to love someone and enjoy the life with her (and not only being an helper and then a garbage)
So I started a relationship with that girl who was trying to change me.
I knew that she was not the right choice, she never could accept me as I am. But I felt the need so I decided to be with her.
And the result was even more awful. Everything was ruined in my heart and I lost my hope for good relationship.
So when we ended that foolish relationship.

Then I found a girl (who was about 35 years old) who was everything that I could imagine.
She understood me, she knew me and accepted me as I am.
She was trying to enjoy the life with me. She shared good moments with me (Which I never experienced before, I was supposed only for problems).
She read books with me in video chat and so on.
Everything was well but…
Our distance
She was from another country
I was working really hard (really! I was working for two company in the same time!) for being able to be with her.
She knew that
when I was under a really big pressure (and she knew it), the only thing that helped me doing those jobs was she. And I really didn’t imagine that I could lost her…
But someday
she suddenly said that she is going to end our relationship because she feel that she can’t wait… and she is older than me and blablabla (she knew that she was older thant me before of course, that was not good reason…)
soooooo
Now
I’m working so hard as I was.
but now
without any hope
and desire
and energy
and I don’t know what can I do
and I can’t take care of me well.
I work because it helps me to think less about all of this.

But I know this is not the right way.
I should start a relationship again and finding my motivations again.
But now
I REALLY fear of it.
and I don’t know with who I could be in good relationship.
And I’m pretty tired…
because I was in 3 relationship during 5 years and I had nothing… absolutely nothing.

Dear Saggad:

Welcome back to your own thread a year later. I am looking forward to read your two recent posts (and anything you may add to them) and reply when I am back to the computer, in about 14 hours from now. I hope other members reply to you as well.

Dear Saggad:

I am wondering, you’ve been working a lot, for two companies at the same time- how is it that you weren’t able to afford traveling to see this 35 year old? And why didn’t she travel to see you?

Also, the woman who tried to change the way you dress and talk and what you watch on TV or online.. did you try to change something about yourself so to accommodate her, for example, did you agree at any one point to wear this or that shirt or jacket so to please her?
