So here's the story, my girl left me after 13 months of head over heals in love. We said the forevers and never leave yous but she left me about 2 months ago and I found out she has a new boyfriend 2 weeks after breaking up with me. She always said that I was so nice and I know I never disrespected her. We never fought. She always said I was such a good man, sweet and caring for her. To tell the truth I was really in love with this girl but she left me. I'm still kinda weird it all. We talked like 3 times and all I could say was like"how could you leave me? " type stuff.

She turned cold on me and couldn't say anything substantial. Bunch of lies about how she needs to be on her own. But it took her 2 weeks to get a new guy?. So the last time she talked to me she said I was smart, funny, and good to her but she just didn't love me. She kept all my shit , especially the record/ journal I wrote her about our relationship. 12 pages of regret in my opinion. She also said that this new guy was already having problems that she wouldn't have had with me. At the end of our conversation I said "if you ever loved me you would leave me alone". She said she cared about me and didn't wanna stop talking. I know this guy will never be as good as I was to her but why does she settle for less?

So my question is how do I read this?
She cares about me and says I'm a good guy but I'm not Boyfriend material?

Why did she leave me for a complete asshole?
Will she ever realize how good I was to her? Especially with this new jerk off Boyfriend?
Do women really want a good man? Or are they happy leaving us behind wile the try to change the bad boys?

Please just don't read over this and not reply. Anything will help.
Thank you in advance.

It sucks, but it sounds like she doesn't want to hurt you by telling you she needs time apart. This is an easy way of letting you down without coming out and saying-i met someone else. Girls are crazy. Believe me. A lot of girls talk how they want someone to treat them right, but when they do, they take advantage of them and end up leaving them for someone that treats them like shit. Its usually the younger girls that are this way. I just turned 29 and I finally am ready for a nice guy. Not a loser that likes to party and cuss me and cheat on me. My advice-don't call her, don't answer her calls, don't go see her. See how crazy she gets once she thinks you don't want anything to do with HER anymore. Just give it a couple days, you will see.

She will kiss enough frogs to realize she let go of a real prince. I was married for 10 years to someone that treated me like crap. The past two boyfriends I've had since then have treated me like a Queen. I never took them for granted and will always remember how well they treated me compared to the other creeps I've come in contact with.

Remember that you two are young also. You both probably need to date around. You will find someone who appreciates you 100%. You deserve that respect & appreciation.

This sounds exactly like me and my ex except we both decided to end the relationship due to not seen each other as much! And now he's with a girl who will never love him like I did and is only using him! But we remain the best of friends although some times he can be a bit off with me! But seriously girls love guys who treat them nice its just sometimes are feelings over power the fact that the other guy would treat us way better! But me personally I've never dated an asshole I'm very lucky all my guys have been lovely and I still talk to them all maybe it depends on the girl to so

Wow dude that's rough. Okay first off it sounds like you gave more of yourself emotionally than she did basically you didn't protect your heart. With that being said she didn't protect your heart either. Sounds to me maybe it was all too much for her and she got in over her head. Same thing happen to me except my relationship was much shorter but I still cared for her a lot and she kinda took it all for granted and left me to figure things out about her life then that whole weekend was trying to get me back. So she probably does regret it and isn't ready to directly ask for you back so she's trying to fill the void with another guy who will not remind her of you and is giving hints that she's sorry. My opinion don't buy it unless your for sure that she's in it for the long haul. But also try to be forgiving that doesn't mean you have to take her back but don't completely shut her out either

Ah yes. The good old Nice guy finishes last routine. I'm sorry to hear it, man. But given what you've said, you've -definitely- taken a wrong turn and ended up in the "friend zone". The real deal is, that you ARE a nice guy. You're probably the "nicest" guy she's ever met and been with. However, you must keep in mind that nice guys are -BORING- guys. (Trust me, been there, done that. ) Nice guys will always treasure her, always be there for her, treat her right, always tell her how much he loves her, et cetera, et cetera. Women always -say- they want a nice guy, but when they get one, they get bored of him because he's always there always confessing, never doing anything spontaneous which is why she gets bored and dumps him. She moves on to this new guy who is more "exciting" and whatever. That's why your ex-girl still calls YOU to tell YOU how she feels about this OTHER guy. She loves you as a friend and she's treating you as such. She's actually enjoying being with this other guy (keyword: D-R-A-M-A) Women put themselves through that kind of "hurt" because they like the bad boy attitude and I dunno, maybe they think it's fun (They get a kick out of thinking they can "fix" a "bad boy", also) Ultimately, women don't want nice guys because they're boring and they don't want Bad boys because they realize sooner or later that they can't fix them, what they really want (and listen well) is a sensitive jerk. That's right, an in between guy. If you can manage to change yourself just a -tad- to be that, then they'll be elated to be your girl. Spontaneous, charming, caring, tough, mysterious (don't share your thoughts with her all the time IE: 12 page journal entry = no no) It might be hard to believe, but take it from an ex-nice guy. Nice guys are TOO nice and they always end up in the "friend zone" because they're really boring, clingy, and aren't mysterious at all. Remember it for it shall do you great good, my friend.

Question Asker I don't think you have me quite right, I'm a nice guy but I can have fun too. I wasn't like that dude that was always sensitive and crying and shit, more like that guy that was hammered walking home at 3 am. I understand where your coming from. Yea she was prob bored but I didn't deserve any of this shit with way I treated her. Her new boyfriend won't be anymore "interesting" then me. Nice guys do finish last. But I'm not exactly the nicest guy. Thanks for your comment. Appreciate it - 3 months ago

Is it possible that it could work?
Evolution86 asked 5 hours ago

Yes, definitely

No, it's just too difficult

Only if they trust each other fully

Yes, but they need to see each other every weekend

No, because people can lie and cheat no matter the circumstances
