Hey guys what's up
I need a pua perspective. I'm always the guy getting dumped. I've been in 3 LTRs, but always get dumped around the 1 year mark.
The reasons the girls give me vary from "the feeling has gone" "I dont love you" "we are not made for eachother" and stuff like that. But this is of course backwards rationalization. Even if we weren't right for eachother (which is especially true for 2 out of the 3), I would like to be the one who decides that.
I'm not overly jealous, I think I act normal around women and in relationships, but i guess I am a pleaser. I like to see my girl happy. So I guess there is something happening after many months of me and her, that makes her want to leave me. I must be something in my personality. And the time has come to fix it.
It comes down to this probably: i'm deeper into the relationship than she is. But I don't know how it happens, because in the beginning it's the opposite. They want me. But somewhere along the way, our roles change and I (and my happiness) become too much dependent on them.
I tried to ask my ex's themselves, but all i get is the rationalization, not the thing that really happened (Sidenote: of course we weren't made for eachother, because there is no such thing). So that's why I ask you guys. I'd like to get insights from guys who were dumped before, but also guys who never get dumped (I know you're out there!) so rather than finding the problem, I can focus on the solution. Also I wouldn't focus on the relationship details individuallistically, because it's a clear pattern in my life.
I have no trouble with game, girls are attracted to me and when dating a really great girl, i try to keep off a relationship as long as possible, but some girls are just too great and after a while I give in. And then a year later I am the one in the gutter! It's very ironic, but this is how it goes everytime.
So there's the problem.. I've been thinking a lot about posting this, because i also would like to be able to be myself in a relationship, not act different just so i don't get dumped. But I guess after getting dumped 3 times in a row, I can say that this is not working for me. So i need to change something.
Concrete questions:
- How to not give yourself 100% in a relationship? (I think that maybe this is the problem)
- How to keep her longing for you?
- Generally how to not get dumped.
Cheers

This is code speak for "I think I can do better than you"
Do you work? What industry are you in? Are you in a decent/stable career? These will make a big difference to women.
However, I get the feeling that you simply aren't fun enough, or enough of a challenge for them. Yoou're probably right - you probably invest too much and then the women get bored/feel unsatisfied.

Put yourself first.

Don't give her everything she wants.
No matter how much you love pizza, you'll get sick of it if you have too much
Also....put yourself first.

Be interesting, fun, and a challenge.
Also, put your wants and needs first. Her's can come in a close second.
