A Question To The "Involved" Men Of The Board...

If your very serious girlfriend was casually chatting with a few male friends online every now and then(one of them being almost ten years younger than her, and in a very serious relationship themselves)would you feel threatened by it? Would you accuse her of being unfaithful? Would you basically come out and call her a whore? Would you be willing to lose this person whom you claim to love more than life itself over this situation? Would you get angry and constantly throw in her face that you yourself don't talk to anyone online but said person? Tell me, please, am I really in the wrong here? Because I sit here feeling like absolute shit, feeling utterly useless, feeling that I honestly did something wrong, seconds away from losing the love of my life, and I do not know what to do.

Sounds like he has major insecurity issues. I don't see that you have done anything wrong at all. Don't blame yourself for someone else's problems.
 
Oh, and I forgot to mention that just a few months ago, he went to a party, got drunk, and made out with another girl. Then, I obviously got angry, in a roundabout way did the same thing, and he called me the home wrecker.

Okay, I read a bit more and saw this, and I gotta say that if he's treating you like this then it isn't a healthy relationship. If he is blaming you for any and all problems, I think you should think about whether you should be staying with him.

EDIT: I continued reading and read that you have broken up with him. I think you made the right choice, and I hope you find someone who loves you for who you are and treats you with all the awesomeness you deserve.

And may that man be named MadBaggins. And lo, will we revel in the telling of their tales of love and adventure on the high seas.
 
Yes I read it, I just thought the break up was still nebulous from that post. There's a process people go through of getting to the precipice of the break up to see what it feels like peering over the edge and then flinging themselves backwards and starting again. Eventually you jump but not always the first time.
 
Wow. I didn't expect so many responses. As much as I wasn't coming here so that any one of you could direct me on what to do, you've all been a big help. I just needed an outsiders opinion, and it looks like I got it. lol.

Oh yes, the relationship is over. Done. Kaput. I will not waste one more second of my time on a selfish, immature, clingy little brat that is so blinded by his own mistakes that he can't see 2 feet in front of himself. "Love of my life"? I must have been high...

Anyone interested in a 26-year old Trekkie that can cook, clean, and loves sports? lol!
I'm kidding, but I'm not...
 
Yes, yes and...eh, I suppose. I love e-sports. Huge SC2 casting fan.

In all seriousness, good for you. I may hate being single, but I rather be single then be in a bad relationship, and I hope you will feel the same thing.

GOOD.

I'm glad for you. Now go out and do something he was shitty about, like talking to peoples online :D
 
I'm not a man, but I can add something, at least.

If you're only talking to them as friends, seriously, and nothing more... and he called you a whore because of it, he is nuts. I would understand him if you were overly flirty with them or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case...?

I'm a jealous person and I can't say I wouldn't be jealous if my boyfriend had a bunch of female friends hanging around/or talking to him online all the time... but I admit I am nuts and way too jealous about small things.

If he called you a whore, especially if you didn't do anything..... wow, what a jerk.

I'm a couple years too old for you, but I have to ask, what kind of sports? My ex wife and I arranged our Sundays around Patriots football. This is something I will miss this fall.
 
Once again, thank you all for your advice, it's been much appreciated.
Well, people of the TrekBBS. It's been real, it's been fun, and yes, it's been real fun.
I regret to inform you all that my time has come. Thanks for the laughs and the arguments, I've had a blast...But sometimes the pain is just too real, you know?
I wash my hands of this weirdness....

The kind of weirdness the TrekBBS provides doesn't wash off.
 
Gem, you're leaving the boards? Ah, I must have missed something.

Sorry to see you go...
