Losing control?
Ladies, be careful who you hand over the reins to....
What would you tell him?
OK...a guy I know since childhood has a girlfriend. He hasn't propsed yet, but he has bought the ring. The problem is that he has realized (after almost two years) that he loves her, but isn't in love with her. Even bigger than that: he thinks he still has feelings for his ex, who, by his own admission, wasn't good for him at all. I've tried telling him to let her go, since she is more committed to the relationship than he is. He won't, though, because he knows that she's a good woman. I've tried to point out how he's really not being fair to her, since he knows that he doesn't feel the same as she does, and he is hiding where his true feelings really lie. Still, no luck. What would you tell him?
Stop, Look, Listen
It seems to me that one of the biggest problems that people have in relationships is starting one that isn't healthy to begin with. Take a minute and think about what it is that you want, and what it is that you're looking for. In other words, STOP before you go too far. I also think people should LOOK at what's presented to them. Sometimes, people go ahead with a relationship when there is already some negative writing on the wall. There are some things that you have to take at face value when it's right in front of your face. Third: LISTEN to that voice that tells you to slow down. If something doesn't feel right, don't go forward until you can address your feelings.
