I Cant Let Go Of Reason And Logic


bluegirl

Recommended Posts

reason tells me not to do something that will hurt me or make me feel bad

and i do this with everything in life

if my goal is to be happy, how can i self inflict something that causes pain

i feel like i am doing just that

and it makes no sense

part of me wants to end it now before it gets worse

i am having trouble trying to find the words to explain my situation

because it is seemingly a contradiction

i was happy before

i am happier now, but at the same time sad

and the former seems more conveniant but i cannot choose it

can anyone relate?

or give me some advice, before i end up pushing him away because of my doubts

I understand exactly what you are saying. You know that someone or something is bad for you, but you want/need them anyway. They fill some void in your life, and that makes you happy. It's a catch 22, that doesn't really have an out that we are looking for.

It's very hard to let go of something/one who for one reason or another greatly effects. For lack of a better example, it's like drugs. People know drugs are bad, but they like the way they feel. If you stop, you lose that feeling, but you are better off.

It's a hard call to make, you gotta do what works for you, and hopefully that is best option out there.

If you are happier now than before, but sad at the same time, could it just be the normal highs and lows of a relationship? Or the sadness that comes anytime we give someone that power over ourselves, and then have to deal with whatever crap they lay out on the table? Because all that is normal and ok, as long as he can take whatever he gives. Maybe you don't want to deal with it because of a fear of commitment?

I don't know, I don't know or expect the details, just hazarding a guess.

i agree with tasty.... it seems like ur happy with ur life and ur relationship now... but there are always those things that may make it hard to be in a relationship... u always seemed to be one that didnt like commitment, and got bored easily... but now that uve finally found someone who actually makes u happy and makes u want to commit, i think ur scared of actually doing so b/c possibly in the long run u might change ur mind again.... at that point ull have already been committed for however long, thus making it even harder to end things.

what i think u need to do is thouroughly evaluate ur situation... why u feel these things for him.. what factors come into play here... distance? cuz both of u are away at school? distance always seems to make things difficult :( but... if u can overlook all those obstacles and still want to be with him, then go for it girl. dont be afraid of it... .dont live for the future and base ur decisions on what MIGHT happen in the future and how ur feelings MIGHT change later on... cuz if ur happy with what u have NOW, then theres no reason for u to not have it. thats the way i always go about things... i mean... in past relationships i never said.... well im young... i dont wanna be in a relationship... i just went with my feelings and i was always happy... now, im kinda takin things as they come. no livin for tomorrow... no thinkin bout the past.. im living for now. and i think u need to try and do the same. cuz it makes things easier... call me naive call me whatever u want.. but i see no reason stressin things that havent even happened yet or MIGHT happen... if ur happy now, then do wut u need to do to keep urself that way. if u 2 are happy with each other, then dont worry about inevitably breaking up... or eventually getting tired of him... if we all went about relationships that way, everyone would be lonely!

Theres a famous latin expression, which translated means " That Which Nourishes Me Also Destroys me..." I think it relates perfectly to your situation...
