Bite the bullet. You either reinvest your energy entirely into your girlfriend if you still believe that you two have a long-term future together, and stop your fraternising with what is obviously a romantic competitor for your attention, or you admit that you want to give up and go after this other girl. There's no gun to your head. Relationships end.

It would also do you good to learn the roles of serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin especially amongst the other neurotransmitters involved in human pairing. Love is not always feeling "in love"; you'll realise this as you get older.

I once ate 3 bars of dark chocolate because Al Pacino said "Love is highly over rated, biochemically no different than eating large amounts of chocolate.




The only thing I felt was a tummy ache.

>I still love her but not IN love, like before. My will is gone to tell the truth.

Ugh.

>I am the only stable thing in her life and her future looks not so bright right now.

Hmmm.

> She slightly has daddy issues... I mean she has a good relationship with him, but only sees him like 2 times a year for about a week.

Riiiiight.

>We hung once...

Huh.

>As of right now she is on a "break" with her incredibly jealous boyfriend.

Jesus.

>How can I approach this in a safe manner so I don't ruin any relationships?

Haha, wow.

If either one of them thinks as monogamy as a requirement, you don't. Even though you haven't really started anything with #2, I don't have to tell you that feelings are already there that you can't just choke off. Carrying on with her is bound to be a terrible decision, but sometimes it's not really a decision at all, is it?

You haven't been fair to #1, though. If you wind up breaking up with her, you owe it to her to tell her you haven't. Seriously, "daddy issues" because she doesn't go home that often? People be busy and shit. Growing up is hard to do. Honestly, I smell classism here. If you're in a relationship it's normal for them to come to you with their worries. She's not asking you to pay for shit, is she?

You've wedged yourself into a situation where all of your options suck. The best thing you can do is remember this for next time.

-Her parents were never married. She grew up traveling 10 hours on a good day to see him. This was since she was like 1. The only "life event" he was around for was her high school graduation dinner and that was on accident.
-Also worries and situations are to different things. She deals with her problems in unhealthy ways that I have tried dealing with but ultimately difficult to overcome. Also yes it has gotten to the point where I have frequently paid bills for her.

-That's still not really daddy issues. In that situation it would make perfect sense if she never went to see him.

-Well, shit. My bad. Should've said something about it, though. If you're trying that hard and shit's still fucked up, maybe it's legit too much for you.

Of course, that still doesn't make Girl #2 a very good decision. I think you're interested in her more as an escape.

Guys I am back. I broke up with Girl #1 and been pretty happy since. The bad news is I am still seeing Girl #2.

We have hooked up... a lot. It's gotten to the point where I stay up thinking about her. She talks about having me stay at her place for a night all the time. She wishes she could be around me more. The thing that bothers me is that she is still in constant contact with this "boyfriend," I don't know if I am putting my heart here just so she can get back at him or actually genuinely has feelings for me as well.

Had this experience myself before. She just using you to piss of her boyfriend move on before it becomes a embarrassing mess.
