I'm So much better than she is...... so why did he choose her?

UPDATE:
I posted this thread over a year ago but recently people have been commenting so I thought I would give you all an update.
Said boy left his girlfriend for me and we were together for only two weeks before he had slept with someone else (listens out for a chorus of I told you so's) He left me for her and I spent a long time feeling very hurt and betrayed. A year on I am very over him, still see him most days but feel nothing anymore because I know I am a better person than him.
I am seeing a new guy, on the same course (stupid i know) but we are taking things very slowly and so far everything is great. I'm a very happy girly now.
.........................................................................................................................................................

1.

Girl starts university, single, happy and looking forward to having an amazing time

2.

Girl starts to talk to guy in her class, she doesn't feel attracted to him because she swears he said he was gay.

3.

Girl and boy spend three whole days together, having fun and just generally being great friends

4.

guy mentions he has a girlfriend, girl thinks what??? I could swear he was gay, this makes his behaviour kind of inappropriate (complements, touching and being generally flirty)

5.

Girl and boy go out dancing....Just as friends. Boy gets very drunk and falls asleep on girl’s bed. Girl thinks...."meh, we are just friends, I’ll let him stay"

6.

both wake up in the middle of the night because it's cold and hug to get warmer, then a kiss, then naked, then hands everywhere!!

7.

girl stops before it gets too far because she knows he has a girlfriend. GIRL IS SINGLE AND HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG!!

8.

in the morning girlfriend rings guy whist we are still in bed....naked! Girlfriend is shouting down the phone to guy, he explains to me they don't have a very good relationship.

9.

Over the week Girl and Guy end up in bed together about 5 more times, no sex but a lot of nakedness. All the while Girl listens to guy about how bad his relationship is

10.

Girl and Guy have an argument because girl wants to know if guy will leave his girlfriend, he says he is in love with girl but doesn’t want to end it with girlfriend.....so Girl puts a stop to it!

11.

Guy and girlfriend have a massive argument and Girlfriend tells him it's over.

12.

Girl and guy sleep together....Girl realises she is falling for him too, and since he is now single !!!

13.

Girlfriend moves in to a university 10 minutes down the road, guy goes to help her to move in, Girl doesn't like this so tells guy how much she likes him and no matter what he chose to do she would always be there as a friend

14.

OMG this post is taking far too long......sorry guys, will shorten it

15.

Basically Guy and girlfriend stay together, Girl cries a lot, but then promises to stay friends with the guy because he asked her to and he...."doesn't know if I’d be able to stay here without you around"



So last night he brings his girlfriend along to the fancy dress night at the union. I go along too because we share the same group of friends. He never says a single word to me all night and looks so grumpy and down, this is a polar opposite to the happy party animal that he is when he is with me. I tried to be nice to his girlfriend by complementing her shoes (they were so nice) and making general small talk, she replies by either ignoring me or only one word replies. With all of our other friends she is running around hugging them, dancing and talking to them.......So why not me??? she knows nothing about me and her guy!
I needed to borrow the guys flat keys because I had accidently locked mine in his room, he refused, wouldn't look at me in the eye, said only two words .......all the time she had her hand gripped round his wrist. so he has now gone from promising to be friends no matter what......to ignoring me. WHY???

Maybe, just maybe, I'm only throwing conjecture into the air here, a mere assumption, grope in the dark, if you like -- you're not better than her!

^^:yy:^^

And maybe he prefers his girlfriend because she isn't the type of girl that would try and break up a relationship? The sort of girl that would sleep naked and grope a guy who she knows has got a girlfriend and is going through problems? The sort of girlfriend who isn't an arrogant, assumptive git, thinking she knows his girlfriend despite having only seen her once at a party where she seemed fine with everyone but you? Perhaps you're the problem and not her?

That said, he's twice the ****** that you are.

I dunno, maybe he wanted abit of cheap, easy fun and that was you. He's in a relationship with her and that's why he prefers her to you. Tough luck.
Oh and you look like that girl from gossip girl, lucky you.

Agreed.

Someone who is willing to do what you do with someone who is in a relationship is not girlfriend material.

Reply 10

You were mad to get naked with him while he had a girlfriend. Are you crazy? Also, no wonder she completely blanked you - did you really expect her to be hugging you when you essentially tried to steal her boyfriend?

There have been other occasions when we met......that was just the most recent example, i was trying to keep the post short ish!!

yeah thanks! but surely the basic isuue in a relationship is do they make you happy?
he's grumpy with her...... happy with me, you can see why i'm confused about why he chose her.

(To summarise, I have no sympathy. And you're not better than her).

Well, all you have is his word that he was unhappy with her. He's trying to get into bed with you, n'est ce pas? He's not going to be going on about how much he loves her!

I'm sorry, what?

1. The girlfriend either does know about you, or suspects something, hence she is wary of you.

2. Guy isn't worth your time anyway if he's willing to kiss/get naked/whatever else with another girl whilst in a relationship. (Yes, you HAD done something wrong by participating in this with a 'taken' man :p:) Could you trust him to not do that to you?

3. Cut him loose, you need to look out for number one and him guilting you into 'sticking around' for his having cake and eating it antics isn't fair on you.

You can still be friends with your mutual friends, just don't let him guilt you into being his dependable bit on the side or whatever. Treat him civily, but no more :smile:
