Hey guys,
Been a member here helping others out with they relationships but now I do need help from you...
After 2 years with my girlfriend, she dumped me 2 days ago after ignoring me for 8 days. The 9th day before she ignored me, she told me she loved me, she wanted to live with me, get kids in a near future, marry me, etc...
Unfortunately, i've discovered with time that my GF/ex has a mental disorder that "f*cks up" with her feelings. She always have doubts and "downs". After 2 years, she dumped me ON THE PHONE! Telling me she doesn't know if she loved me anymore...
There are phases to a relationship:
Phase 1. Passionate love
Phase 2. Real love
Phase 1. Passionate love is loving for sex, for good looking, for intelligence, for what the other has and how he/she gives you attention & affection. This is an automated process in your brain! (stays 1 year to 3 years MAX)
Phase 2. Reduction of feelings, reduction of libido, acceptation of the "wrongs" and "goods" of the loved one, less attention, less affection, unconditional love basically. (If you happen to reach this phase, you can succeed to stay with that person for a dozen years easily)
To pass from phase 1 to 2, you have to accept everything. You will have doubts that you don't love the other one anymore. But if you quit that person, it's at that time that you'll see that you really loved him/her! So you must ask yourself some questions like: "would i cry for him/her", "do i still want to take care of him/her", "are you 100% honest with him/her", "is complicity always there", etc.
The problem with my gf/ex was that she wasn't able to make the transition from phase 1 to phase 2. And with her mental disorder called "bipolarity", it's even harder!
I know what I want. I want a girl that knows what she wants, that knows that will be able to make the transition from 1 to 2, that will be mature, intelligent and great in bed (so hard these days!).
I still love my gf/ex, but I know i'll be more happy without her. Because with all her doubts and her "bipolarity", it will just keep going and she would dump me every 3-4 months. I am pissed of that, it breaks my heart every single time...
Basically, I just want some tips to forget her after all the fakeness and bad things she's done to me. Should I drink? Should I f*ck with an other women? Should I... etc
Thank you guys,
From a broken hearted MPUA "Relationships" member :/

P.S. i still love her, but i dont want to even try to get back with her, because she would break my heart dozen of times...
Don't blame her for the bipolar disorder. Many smart and successful people have this disorder and yet are in successful relationship.
The second phase you mentioned is a phase where she has to decide to bond with your activities if you have any. It is at this phase where she will imprint part of your signature sexual and spiritually. Which means, she'll follow you and do things with you. If you say, I'm going to the moon tomorrow, she'll go with you without pause or dive deepsea, she'll go with you without hesitation. In this phase, DO NOT invite her to come. Rather wait until she asked to be invited. But sometimes we fear pushing them hard out of their comfortable boundaries and play it safe with what she likes the most activities wise. No contact works only for awhile, but it really works most effectively during the beginning of the relationship like in the 3 to 6 months period, because then it pushes her to want to be included in your life rather than a separate life she's comfy with. Re-shaping her life to yours is your conquest because you WILL ALWAYS way ahead on your own life so this distance is the natural attraction that WILL NEVER END. No need to continually and artificially next her. If you let it slide to 2 years, she's already set in her ways towards you that she isn't willing to invest time in your hobbies or your aspiration anymore. What happens next is that, a month or so later after you make up and a few fuck fests later, she will become bored of you and realize why she left you.
