He Hurts Me, But I Keep Coming Back.

Posted by Site Admin at 10:49 AM on April 17, 2009

            Have you ever met that one person who you seem to never be able to forget? Do you constantly go back to them no matter what they do to you, and they seem to have this iron grip on your love? Well here are some things that I recommend. Sometimes, a good solution to this problem seems to be impossible to find but it isn't. The only solution to this situation that is impossible to find is the 'perfect' solution. So don't lose hope.

           

            Here is one of the most common scenarios. "We normally talk about hanging out and 'doing stuff we both know we want to do.' Occasionally we talk about other things like each other's day or other normal every day topics but it always seems to include things about 'us'. Sometimes he brings up the topic of getting together and stuff like that." You and the guy started off with an unforgettable moment. You skipped some of the small talk and started off the friendship with a BANG. A few days later things seem to be moving opposite ways between you guys. You wonder what is going on and why he hasn't replied. You notice he is ignoring texts. You begin to be hurt and wonder what you could have done. You think of how amazing that first moment you shared together was. A few days later, he texts you and your spirits soar. You feel happier than you have been in a very long time. You may feel stupid for thinking that something so amazing could have actually gone down the drain. You begin talking again and he brings up all of the feelings and "good times'. The crush you had on the guy comes back in full force and then, a few days later, you guys quit talking again. You begin to wonder what has happened. You ask yourself, "What have I done?" This cycle seems to repeat itself multiple times and you begin to feel that he is playing with your emotions. What do you do?

 

 

      Well lets start by analyzing the situation. Ask yourself a few questions.

 

1.      What does he normally talk to me about when we start talking?

2.      When does he stop talking to me? After he gets what he was asking for? After it has been a while and he hasn't gotten what he is asking for?

3.      How did our friendship start? Under what circumstances?

4.      Did we ever talk about getting together? Did it actually happen?

5.      What kind of a guy is he? Is he a ladies man who always seems to be flirting with girls or a kind loving guy to every girl he meets.?

 

             Ok, so in this situation, you need to sort things out and do it fast. Talking to the guy in all seriousness could be one option, but you need to keep in mind that if he wants something from you, he is going to do what he needs to to get it. That includes lying. So make sure that if you do go and talk to him, that you make sure to play s many games with him to catch him in any kind of lie. When a lie is exposed, you have your answer. He is in it to 'get it.'

            Now, assuming that he is in it to get it, this guy does not seem to be on the careful side of things. He knows he can get what he wants from you because he knows you like him and want to be with him. He gives you tastes of 'the good times' in order to keep the crush going. He knows that if he loses that crush, that he will no longer be able to get what he wants. He might even go as far as saying that you two should get together and make it official. You will notice, that that will not happen. He knows that if he dates you 'officially', he will not be able to get what he wants from other victims such as yourself. Now, you may ask why I use the term victim. Here is why: you are a victim of the game that guys tend to know how to play a little too well. Guys tend to know just how to get what they want and many times, it's by playing with your feelings.

            Here is what I suggest doing in this situation; decide whether it's worth it. Are you happy that he is playing with your feelings? Do you want him to continue playing with your feelings so that he can use you? Do you like being this guy's toy? Now, if you don't, then you need to take the appropriate action. You need to talk to him straight up but don't let him get in your head. He will be trying his best to keep you wanting him. You need to sort everything out. Tell it like it is. Then end it. You need to cut the ties with this guy. Block his number or ignore him. Give him the cold shoulder. It might seem really cruel to do this, but think of what he has done to you. You need to realize that this guy is only there for the stuff he gets from you. Whether its just because you make him happy when he needs to be, or because he has other, more sensual goals in mind. And don't underestimate him. What I mean by that is this; don't think that just because he is trying really had to keep you, telling you all these things, and being such a sweetheart, that he actually wants you. A guy who is truly out to get it, will do what ever he needs to. Sweet talking is one of the most common and most effective ways of reaching that goal.

            One thing you need to look out for the most, is lying. At times he might seem to be ignoring you, but then later in the day he texts you. What has he been doing? Well just keep in mind that often times, guys like that wont reply periodically. Why? Because they are doing what they want to do with you, with someone else. Guys who are out to get some normally have more than one girl in their grasp. Do not let yourself be a part of his horrendous practices.

            Please, as you go about removing this guy from your life, remember why you're doing what you're doing. At times it will be hard. You will want him. He is your weakness. But just remember, you do not want to be used. You, as a woman, are deserving of only the best of the best. Remember that you are better than him. Do not let yourself sink down to his level and give in. stand up, and be strong.

This reminds me of my exboyfriend. We dated back in high school and he cheated on me with his exgirlfriend, broke up with me and got back with her. Throughout time, we became the best of friends.. because we're a lot alike. We were best friends for two years. He went into the Air Force and was in Turkey for almost a year until he got a month of leave and came home. He had a girlfriend and broke up with her.... unfortunately, I was stupid enough to take him back as my boyfriend. It was probably the "happiest" time of my life. Until he left. He promised me he'd be back to me in three months... low and behold, right when he got back to Turkey him and his ex started hanging out the whole time... half a month after he went back, he broke up with me... and two days later he was back with his girlfriend. He completely deleted me outta his life and I haven't talked to him since. So much for him being my "best friend"

Eve stole a rib, got adam kicked out of the garden of eden, and ruined the whole human race.
Quit your bitchin, hoes. You deserve every bit of it.

I've also heard this called love addiction. You are addicted to this boy which is why you keep going back. The best way to over come this is to find another boy that will treat you the way a boyfriend is supposed to treat you. You will find your prince one day. Don't forget it.

Wow. Way to not even know what the heck happened in the Bible. It's called, GOD took a rib from Adam, who belongs to God since God made him. So God made Eve out of the rib. He told Adam not to eat the fruit but he did anyway, and he didn't even stop Eve from eating it. It's his own damn fault he got kicked out. So did Eve. Also, what was his part of the curse? To work the ground? How many men do you see "working the ground" nowaydays huh? Don't you dare talk about us "hoes" deserving it. You are responsible for you. You cannot blame your problems on Adam.

i will be honest with this post . What do i do when i have dated this guy for almost four years, everything was going right until i started getting jealous. and the past three years its gotten totally extreme. i couldnt stand gettin jealous. one night he came over and we were watching tv and he got mad i guess bcuz he didnt wanna watch wat i was watching. so he grabbed the contoller and hit me in the face. i was so upset i kicked him out and i called my brother to come see me. so i ended up getting so drnk bcuz i was very mad and ended up cheating on him with another guy. i dont even remember half that night. its been almost a year and a half and i have apologized to him more then once everyday. he told me he forgave me but everyday its like he has tried to get me back by doing stuff with other girls and telling me about it. i feel horrible all the time about doing that to him. he has no sympathy for how sorry i am. i think if he says he forgave me he should act it. but i have been trying to get over him and get him back for months,. i come to the conclusion i dont want anyone else. i have tried seein other guys but i just end it cuz i cant get him off my mind. he also does that i want you and wanna date you but you have to do this and that and i have to be able to take girls out on dates and to movies, and i am like if you wanna be with me why do that with other girls? i guess its that whole playing games thing. what it comes down to is i dont wanna be with anyone else but how do i work things out or what should i do.

okay honestly there are honest guys here. Not everyone here is looking just to get with a girl and leave her. If he is playing with you. You should play with him.It is a game . Dont blame someone for you loss. Men are made different from women so we have some urges that need to be satisfied. Its not our fault .... Its just a hormonal problem. Some women have it too :P but hey you dont see up complaining. But first make sure he likes you. Do a background check if you have to :P. Hope this helps

wow. this is one of those things, when you read it, it seems like it was written specifically to you, but i actually have feelings for him, which doesn't happen often for me, so it's kind of hard to take this advice :/
But ya for me, he flirts, and asks for favors then gets a girlfriend and stops talking to me completely then breaks up with her and starts asking for favors again.

YOU apologized to HIM? He should have been grovelling at your feet after pulling something like that! He sounds like a huge scumbag who deserves nothing from you but for you to spit in his face (or press assault charges). What a useless asshole. Don't have anything to do with him. You may think he's the only one for you, but there are lots and lots of fish in the sea, and almost ANY of them would have to be better than him! Cut him loose! On the subject of jealousy: severe jealousy is the hallmark of a lack of trust and self-esteem. If you love yourself first, and if you have faith in your partner and his feelings for you, there's no need for jealousy. If that extreme jealousy is there it indicates there's something wrong with the relationship. My advice: Take some time off from dating to devote to yourself. Get out, meet new people, take up new hobbies, learn new things, spend time with friends, join groups, volunteer, develop yourself. Forget him, and forget trying to replace him. You don't need someone else to complete you. Be strong. You are an independent human being.

I know this article is written for females. But this sounds exactly like what a girl is doing to me at the moment.. So im guessing it can work the other way around aswell?

This is sooo true and it happens so often. I know a guy who is just like this and he has tried to do this to me. I stayed single for 3 years thinking that he would finally realize how he felt about me and he would want to be with me. Well, I finally moved on and guess what - it was then that he finally realized what he wanted. He realized that he had hurt me and once he actually lost me to another person, he finally told me what I had waited 3 years to hear from him. Needless to say - he didn't get the best of me. I will always love this guy because at one point we were supposed to have a child together so we will always have that connection with each other - but he no longer rules my life and I'm not affraid to move on and be happy with out him. If there is ever going to be a way for him and I to get back together - it would take a miracle and planets aligning just right - and even then he would have to prove himself more then any man in the history of men has ever had to prove themselves to a woman before - and it would still be a question in my mind at that point. Mainly - I know this guy and I know that he won't fight that hard, but I will always have a special place in my heart for him due to our history and he has taught me that I deserve more.

I know where you are coming from but I have had it worse. I am 52 years of age and have never had a boyfriend and have never been on a date except a blind date where I was the last resort due to the fact the girlfriend ditched the guy when she found out he couldn't have kids. I have two kids, who I love dearly, who were really from one night stands that lasted 13+ years. I was recently seeing someone who told me he only wanted a fun relationship and not commitment but when I didn't show or backed away he got mad like it was a real relationship. Talk about head games.

I have only been dealing with guys like this since i have started talking to boys. I get so caught up in the love of the attention that I lose myself. I wait with my phone in my pocket to see if he texts me. I have worked it out so that I am available when he can text me. He only texts me when he is at work. I know he has someone for real, I feel terrible about it but there's something about him that keeps bringing me back for more.

This reminds me of my ex boyfriend too. He said all the right words, about how he loves, that I mean the world to him, that he can't live without me, that he wants to marry me and start a family with me. We were engaged and then after a while, he dumped me and replaced me after a MONTH. He put me on ignore for 3 months, then when I was trying to pull myself together....he came back...told me that he still loves me...I'm still in love with him so I gave in...One day, he snapped at me and told me that he said all those things just to get what he wanted. He never really loved me. FML,
