i love this girl, we have been in a relationship for a few years,

but she is very very lonely, and i am depressed, and everytime she asked from more from me its ok for a little while and then i get stressed out and i cant give anymore

i feel as though i should set her free so that she could be with someone with whom she doesnt feel lonely.

though when we spoke about breaking up she looked so sad,
yet she runs away to spend time with a man she has "deep inexplainable feelings for" and i call her and she is on a roller-coaster and she sounds very happy and i feel very depressed, and then she calls me back because she is worried even though i am fine, with a usual feeling of unhappyness.

i feel so jealous but also happy that she is having a good time.

i feel like edward scissor hands, like i should just go back up the mountain to be alone, and leave the girl to live her life even if she does love me

in the past this has happened and i make an extra effort to be more present with her, to talk more and to ask questions and it always ends with me feeling burnt out and then blowing up 'melting down' at some point. and i cant trust myself that this time it will be different, so i dont know what to do.

because on the one hand our love is very important to both of us, and on the other her happyness is very important to both of us,

and they dont seem to co-exist

So she's hanging out with another guy having fun, eh? Lemme give you an example of what happened to me just a couple months ago.

My ex wasn't happy, either. She was becoming lonely and depressed because of the way I never liked to socialize and how supposedly I was to blame for keeping her friends away. Well she finally starts going out more and...I start finding random things from other guys popping up in our place. She can never explain how they got there or who would have put them there. Anyway's, to make a long story short...she cheated on me twice with two different guys, but the second time she became pregnant...which is why she stopped coming home for about two weeks. I figured she got drunk and did it with her "best friend" after we had this huge fight on Christmas night. Funny how that fight was over one of MY female best friends that lives 2,500 miles away and whom I hadn't spoken with on the phone in over 3 years yet she goes out and does the nasty with HER best friend. Oh well. Her future plans are ruined.

Point being...if she's lonely now, it will not be very long before one of you will end it. Its better to let it go now and remember her for being a good person rather then seeing her as a filthy whore.....

Sorry. I'm still pretty bitter about that whole...thing.

not that it is any of my business, and it might not help the thread, but if you two were a couple, why did both of you have 'best friends' other than each other? I mean. Isn't that a clue you weren't long as a couple?

so you think there is no chance?

btw the issues isn't with who she's hanging out with, i don't really care so much.

i just want to know whether people think there is a reason to go on, because i am not really sure

and is being not really sure a reason in itself?

i am not sure because it seems to me like aspergers is a lifetime of being not really sure...

some threads take off, some fade away.

it is nothing to do with you, frequently. It is only the ebbs and flows of the chat board.

If she has "deep, unexplainable feelings" for this guy, that's a huge red flag.
If I were you, I'd leave.... now.

yes, i worry about that thing about "deep, unexplainable feelings" too

lets do a quick analysis:
anger?
sorrow?
joy?
love?

come on, how many more feelings are there...

shes giving you a hint, maybe even subconciously, who knows, but _any_ DEEP feelings of any kind, explainable or not, are, as cyanide sais, "a huge red flag".

OK, I have been a girl for a long time. If I were in a relationship with someone but they wern't giving me all I needed, and I found someone I liked a lot that gave me that piece of what I was missing, but not what the first guy had in other departments, well, then I would have a delimma.

So when I was with the first guy, I would be all sad, because I knew I was gonna leave him, but I still felt love for him. I would call and ask if he was OK and stuff, because the guilt was killing me that I had to go where he couldn't take me (social stuff). I would be all angst ridden that I was so shallow as to want all this other stuff when here was the great guy that wanted me to be happy. . .

OY!

either way, she is on the way out.

just sayin'

Objective response... she's already moving into a different place. That doesn't mean that you can't develop a relationship anew, but it will be different. That you don't seem to value yourself and your contributions highly may also play a part in the conflict between the two of you. That you're making the effort to compromise is good, but if you're not taking care of yourself then you are burning through what reserves you have in order to bridge the whole gap. She cares about you, but as I have learned in life... love is not always enough.

this is a very well weighted response. your right that i dont value my contributions and in turn they seem to vaporize so i end up not contributing in some ways. i#m taking care of myself though, making sure to spend a lot of time around friends who value me and who i value very dearly which i only have two of in this country so its a bit difficult and they are not in the same city but also using the phone as well
