Today, my boyfriend of 17 months, the first guy to tell me he loves me, the guy I lost my virginity to, the only guy whose parents I've met, told me we should stop 'hooking up' because it's weird that I was telling everyone we were a couple and it was ruining his chances of finding a girlfriend.

hi, i'm the girl who wrote this originally (i've since got an account so changed my name- maybe some people won't believe that but whatever) and i just want to say in response to some people that it was VERY clear on both sides that we were a couple, we were not friends with privileges.. also i am not a stalker, i just wanted to specify exactly how long we'd been together because it emphasises just how shitty what he did was.. like someone else said, a year doesn't really explain that fully. maybe he was using me for sex and i was practise, but i'm not as young or naive as some people here seem to think... this isn't my first relationship, but it was my first really serious one hence meeting parents, having sex etc etc.. i thought what i felt towards him was mutual, and i think if many of you had known us as a couple you would be very surprised about what has happened, most people were always commenting on how much he seemed to adore me. right now i have no idea what his motivations were, but everytime i speak to him i want to stab him.. so im refraining from speaking to him or seeking an explanation at the minute SO thanks to everyone who's been supportive, **** knows what his problem is but im getting over it seeing as he's been such a dick to me, and i just posted him this link, so any extra abuse toward him would be welcome.. ha

What an asshole. You're better off without him. Good luck on that girlfriend search, buddy.

I'm really confused as to why "Meeting the parents" is a thing we're supposedly only supposed to do when in a "relationship". Like, really. I beleive shit happens because we're such a fractured society like this. we're so...ugh. I can't even describe it. I want you all to do an excercize and ask yourselves honestly of all your friends how many of them are you on first-name basis with their parents (as in them calling you by yours ;p)-- probably not many of you because people try to compartmentalize their lives nowadays. Either for the sake of avoiding awkwardness or damage control Introducing your dates to your family (whatever level) should be common interaction. People in your life know whom this person is. ANYONE, really. ANd it's not even so important on that basis, but it also sends a message to the person: "hey, maybe you should think about stick around a while. I actually give a shit about you as a person (all around) and wish to envelope you in my life." Surely, this can happen at the honeymoon level I mean, I've introduced exes and dates to my friends, family-- and for both of those reasons. But things happen...feelings change...people talk too much--listen too little or talk too little. And differently...most of you haven't learned this, I assume since I assume most of you have lots of dating experience but not a lot of relationship experience. And I'm sorry, but I've been in situations where gals over-react and embellish things, because they were hurt and wanted sympathy. When you're a guy, there is this sort of area where people assume the worst or the ambiguous, and really, guys have confusions and fragility of the heart too. We all forget that. If this situation was reversed, many of us would be automatically questioning if the guy actually was in a relationship or just mis-took some words or actions on the part of someone he was dating--but not necessarily in a monogamous relationship with.
