Ashamed of girlfriend?

Too true. I broke up with my girlfriend (and indeed best friend) of 5 years about 6/7 months ago and it's still tough but I promise it does get better after time. There will be relapses of sadness, but know that if you make an effort to meet new people, do new things, behave more like you did before you met her, that your life will improve. PM if you ever feel low. Good luck sir.

I'm expecting a lot of people to say I'm a crap boyfriend and so on but just listen out (or, well, read...) and then make up your mind.

I've been with my girlfriend on-and-off for about a year and a half now although for the past 6 months or so we've been much closer and I feel we both matured so it's working out better. For a while we didn't want to tell anyone until it got a bit more serious because it would be stupid if we were to end it soon after. In any case, after a month or so we told our close friends about it (school friends from school we used to go to but I moved to another for college). And I'm happy they know because we hang out a lot and it would be weird if they didn't however I don't really want to tell people at my new college or post it on Facebook or whatever else.

It's a bit hypocritical because it was more me that wanted to tell our friends but I just cared for close friends to know and apart from that want to keep my relationships private from people I don't know that long at new college or wherever else. I don't know if my girlfriend minds a lot but she said she wanted for both of us to say we were going on out on Facebook and "make it official" which I understand but I just can't see why we need to shout about it to everyone we have added. I have a few people I don't know that well on it and same for her and I don't really care for them to know. In my opinion it's a more private thing where only close friends know but not random people you know for a bit.

I don't know if it makes sense why I don't wanna but at times I feel like maybe I'm somehow ashamed of her and that's why I don't.

Its kinda sad how Facebook has now become the mediator that declares relationships "official"

This.

Furthermore, it's amusing when people update their Facebook the moment they're in a relationship and the minute they are single again.

Sad, so sad.

Thanks for your support mate .
If i could +rep you a thousand times i would.
