She's treating me like a therapist instead of a girlfriend, and it seems our entire relationship revolves around me hugging a poor crying girl, cheering her up.

Instead of editing my former post, I feel it prudent to instead add to it with this additional post. Once again, I have no doubt that, once again, I will probably come off sounding like a complete ass.
I do think that you are entitled to the truth though, and based upon the above quote, you should realize that, if this truly is all there is to your relationship, or if this behavior makes up more that 50% of your relationship, then in reality, you do NOT have a "real relationship". This does NOT mean it cannot be salvaged, but that instead, if it indeed can be salvaged, you indeed have your work cut out for you. At this point, you need to evaluate how important this, "relationship", is to you. If I were you, I would also be asking her the same question, and based upon her answer, I would decide from there whether I wished to try to salvage the relationship.
For what its worth, these are my opinions. Having said that, you have to keep in mind that, no one is more responsible for your happiness than you.

Nachtus... Thanks for giving it to me straight. It's always good to look at an issue from all the viewpoints.

I want to keep this one though. Or, at least try to change the nature of our relationship before giving up. Even though we have our bad times, there's a lot of things in our relationship that I really like. Enough to stick through the rough parts, and attempt to fix the problems. Even when its difficult. And I have to go to the forums and ask for help.

I applaud your dedication and willingness to stick to it. I do hope you are able to fix the issues you are having. I also hope you are able to see if it is not going to work, so you aren't spending so much time trying to fix something that can't be fixed, if that is how things end up being. I have been married for 13 years, and I can tell you, if you can make it worth, it can most definitely be worth the trouble. I wish you the best, and hope you are no less successful than I have been. :D

That "insensitive jerk" part really wasn't necessary. Nor was the 'since you're a man, you have to be tough' part. By the way, I'm not a man. I'm intersexed, and I identify as a woman. But hey, you couldn't have known that. So i'm not mad.


Thank you for the quick reply, and thank you for your input.


An AS chick and an intersexed chick got together.

I bet there's an interesting story there.

I wish I was born a female, or male NT.
