  • Your ex has been in contact. They say they miss you and want you. BUT… they can’t be with you due to their circumstances. What’s going on?
    Pretty writes, “Hi Susan, thank you for your videos! You have been my life saver lately! My ex-bf and I dated only for 2 months but we had a very strong connection. He broke up with me because his parents wanted to choose a girl for him who belonged to their community (It's an Indian thing). He is engaged but still texts/calls me to say he thinks about me and loves me. I can't move on. :(“

    I feel like when people talk about boundaries, what's usually explicit is the logistical aspects of keeping a boundary. "Don't have them waste your time. Don't give them the time of day..." Yes, there's truth here, but even more is the emotional aspect of keeping boundaries. I like what you said, Susan. "They don't have a right..." Somebody being a leech of our emotional energy and hopefulness is more toxic and stinging than however many hours, days, months...they end up gobbling up as they lead us on.

    Men who marry, to women they do not love, because of cultural norms often have no qualms about cheating on their spouses, so he may be bothering her for years to come. Your advice to the woman is spot-on. This man has little respect for her, and he is willing to hurt her by continuing to contact her. He has even less respect for his future spouse, and sadly she is marrying him for cultural norm reasons, too.

    Am 100% sure he's prepping her to be the side piece.She should go no contact and find someone who appreciates her. Don't fall for his emotional drama and victim playing, he is getting his community's approval and probably a hefty sum as dowry.
    Also, the sad part is there is a chance he knew this from the beginning. Indian men date outside their community and future fake knowing very well it wouldn't end up in marriage and they don't care.

      I 100% agree with you. If he's already made the decision that he's going to marry this other woman there's no reason for him to be bothering Priti. Let that woman live her life. If she continues to engage him she's going to find herself in a painful love triangle as his secret side piece. The way he strings her along shows he has high narcissistic traits. She has to go no contact fast. And she needs to actually block his number and other forms of social media to heal. If he really loves her he will break off the engagement and find his way to her. That will never happen though, so she really needs to cut the cord

    I'm Indian. & I would like to say for the international audience, arranged marriage is no longer an 'Indian thing' as an obligation in urban Indian context. Its a Choice. Even some parents are wary of having to choose for their kids, in case things go wrong.
    This guy wants to have his cake & eat it too. He's giving excuses for not having to marry someone he already has (so he thinks) as a sidechick even before he's married. It's a boyfriend thing, really.

    I held on way too long to a girl I knew would never work out. She would have followed me to the ends of this Earth. I really did love her companionship, although I still knew she wasn’t the one for me. I was definitely toxic for her…. I broke her heart after years of going back and forth. In hindsight I should have let her go years earlier, so she could have found someone right for her. I wasted too much of her life and for that… I do feel guilt, shame and regret.

We were together then he decided I wasn't the one for him and now I am trying to move on. But's being so toxic by calling me the devil and calling me fat. I've never seen this side of him. It's becoming so abusive and we don't even talk anymore. He attacks everything I do. It's so terrible. But I thank you for your video because you validated his behavior as toxic, selfish, and not loving. I pray he finally understands and leaves me permanently alone. Especially since he might have a new girlfriend or fiance'. I want them to be happy and leave me alone. He's being so cruel. I want to move forward.

    I have one girl who is below my expectations in all means. But I would have give her a chance hopeing she was valueable for a relationship. Turns out she is an aviodant and "not ready for anything serious" 😅 Now she does not want to explore if we have a chance with each other and at the same time "deeply hurt" when I dare to have a date with someone after she rejected me. She is a coworker and tells everyone that I am someone who hurts her...
    To be honest this behaviour is so unattractive to me. She is like a child in a grown up women's body. Not attractive at all.

    An ass by any other name is still an ass. Culture or no culture. If he's an adult, he makes a choice and stands by it. Maybe I'm looking at this a little differently but I think the many men in this situation might try to have their cake and eat it too. It's up to the woman to set the boundaries and cut them off if they cross the lines of being a decent human being. We all love the ego rub of having someone tell us they love us and want to be with us, but at what price? Some circumstances only require a straight up, "Never contact me again" but this I think needs that combined with a block. And don't look back. Unless this man is 19 or under he will likely not change or "un-ass" himself.

    What of he broke up twice both because he wasn't happy with his life, he said he doesn't have room for a relationship, but he loves you and always very attracted to you. 2nd time broke up I did NC for 3+ months, he tried writing to me time to time to apologise, giving me all.compliments, but kept asking for friendship. When I finally stopped ignoring him, he came to pick his stuff but ended up talking a lot about his personal issues, we ended up sleeping together & he told me he always loves me.
    Now it's getting very confusing, we met the 2nd time to talk, he insisted he doesn't want a relationship but he cares about me, he was suffering when I ignored him for few months, he said every morning the first thing he did was checking my Instagram.
    I dunno what's the next step, we both have strong chemistry & he even swear he will not see other girl. I told him when we have feelings it won't be a pure friendship, yet non of us is looking to be FWB. I dunno what's this, I was moving on but he seemed couldn't. He also said relationship needs lots of compromise he can't give that much time.

    Susan, how much of this is most women wanting the top tier men? How much of this that most women want the high status, "emotionally unavailable", most sought after men? There is a TON OF nice, highly reciprocal, sensitive, and emotionally available men, that women seem to reject whole sale. They can give her what she wants - but she doesn't want it from him. She want's it from the guy that can't, or won't, give it to her. I have seen this over and over again through out my life time. There is a lot of new and fascinating science/research about the dark triad (psychopathy, narcissism, machiavellianism), and that the men that possess these traits have more flexibility in the sexual market place (in other words, get chosen more often by women). What is your take on this? Does modern society have anything to do with this? Peace out from northern Europe :)
