How do you deal with people/ your friends making fun of you for being in a relationship? Also, I need advice wether to stay with this girl or not/ do you feel bad by hurting girls too much?
Here's the situation: I'm a senior in high school, had a gf for almost a year. Our anniversary is in a couple of days. I broke up with her about 2.5 weeks ago, because I just wasn't really feeling it. She was pretty devastated. Anyways, I didn't go no contact, mainly because I go to a pretty small school and she's friends with my friends and we have a class together and whatnot.
Anyway, I started to miss her, and I reasoned out in my mind that I didn't need to hook up with other girls now, because I already told her we weren't gonna stay together once summer starts as she lives in another state, and thus i decided I wanted to be with her for the next 3 months. I took her back a couple of days ago. I'm doubtiny my decision (this is the pattern that I have noticed over the past half of a year- she goes home or away and I miss her alot, then she comes back and I sort of don't want to be with her).
So my friends and others began making fun of me, saying that I am such a relationship guy, I need to have a gf, ect. This is not really true; I ****ed other girls before her, have never had a long relationship before. A few of them today talked to me about it and were saying that I really jumped back into this too fast and I need an escape route out of the relationship. The only person who really pisses me off is one of the guys whose supposed to be my close friend, but hasn't really been acting like it for a while. The rest of the guys I just brush off and joke about it with them.
So, have any of you ever had to deal with people ripping on you for having a Gf, and how did you diffuse it? I feel like my reputation and respect is declining because I have a GF and I want to regain my frame.
On the topic of breaking up with her, if there was an easy way to do it, i would. However, I just put her through two weeks of hell, and I would really hate to put her through more. She was really good to me, and loves me alot. She knows I don't love her, but is okay with it. Have any of you ever stayed with a girl just because you didn't want to hurt her (I do enjoy her company though). She has insecurity problems (like most girls), used to have eating disorders/ cut herself a long time ago. I just feel really bad. I know most of you guys will say never get in a relationship until you've experienced life and are like 25.
I just really need some advice. Oh and on top of that I want to start lifting again and she just wants to hang out with me allllll day long and puts me off track.
