you answered your own question...you love her

It's out of your hands, she is no longer with you.\n\nDon't dwell on the past as it only sets limitations for your future.

If you still love her?  I don't think what happened could stop you from loving her assuming you did in the 1st place.\n\nIf you do love her you should stand by her.  She will need you now more than ever.  In any case be supportive.  The bastard that did that to her should be sent to prison so he can experience some "treatment" from the big boys himself!!!

well you have to build a new history with her.  past behavior best predicts future behavior.  if she doesn't cheat on you for a month then she probably won't cheat on you next month.  anyway the point is take it one day at a time and i'm sure you can learn to trust her again.

Well, if she won't leave her crazy girlfriend then its because she needs some help herself. OR okay, she can be scared that her g/f will try and kill herself (again). Bottom line, that girl is controling your friends life and its a very bad situation. Tell your friend to seek professional advice on how to get out of that relationship. She is being emotionally abused and needs to get out ASAP. Tell your girlfriend to call a hotline, get advice on how to leave and then just be there for her during the transition and so forth. IF your friend refuses to try harder and at least another month goes by then yes, move on. It may be very hard but at this rate its not fair to you. Good luck!

only you can tell for certain if you really love her. but if you think you're capable of giving up everything you know and believe in just to be with this chick, i think she got you.  \n\nshould you ask her to stay? it's worth a try. better do it than waste a lot of time regretting it.

better question is "what are you thinking, hanging out with a PSYCHO EX GIRLFRIEND."\n\nYou've done the hard part by dumping her  - now move on.

According to the law, you have to keep her till she is 18. You are her guardian, and she has no choice in the matter. The law says she has to stick with you.

You are a very strong and kind person and I wish you all the best of luck with your gf.\nMy friend is a manic depressive and her partner has been with her for 5 years now. He loves her to bits but at times has felt like he was making himself ill aswell. He learned that he had to put his own wellbeing first sometimes, so that he was able to give her the best he could. At one stage though, he did try to reason with her, by telling her that he had 'stood by her all this time' and she still wasn't getting any better. At this point, she ended it, blaming him for the way she was (she had been depressed from a young age) and evidently got worse. When speaking to her, she felt that he was only with her in the hope that she would get better. This was an awful pressure on her because she knew (as well as he did) that there was every chance that things could get worse and she may never improve.\nSo, I simply give you this advise, take care of yourself and satisfy your needs and ambitions. If she pushes you away, don't retaliate with any blame or make her feel that she owes you something for your time spent with her. Simply allow this to be the oppurtunity where you get some time for yourself. Meet with friends, take up a hobby, whatever. Most importantly, don't make her feel that you are leaving her, always be contactable and tell her where your going and when you will be back. Simpy let her accept and know that you are always there for her but also for yourself.\nPlease also understand that she may or may not improve. If you can't see a future with her if things don't improve, then maybe you should rethink your situation. \nMy friend is improving (and happily living with her partner) and is now working. She is a lovely person and I admire her strentgh. \n\nI wish you all the best of luck,\n\nHappy Birthday for Monday!!\nxx

First of all you don't LET her do anything. She is an adult and will make her own decision. \nIf you are so worried, offer to stay there with her or ask her to stay with a friend. Or ask her to deal with your place just for the 2 weeks. \nIf something happens, then you shouldn't be with her anyways.

Personally, I think that you need to realize your self-worth. You deserve more than she is apparently willing to give you. It sounds like you are in prison and she is the warden. I understand that she had problems before, but it is not fair to make other people pay for it. You can take situations in life one of two ways...either bitter or better. Sounds to me like she has taken the bitter road. But it sounds like you have taken the better road, and if you two are not on the same page it won't work. You really need to (and I am too) pray for her, because she apparently has issues that she needs to deal with. I think for now you should move on with your life. Maybe when she realizes what she has lost due to not being able to let go of the past, then maybe she will change her tune. There is nothing to say she isn't the one for you, but it certainly doesn't sound like she is the one for you right now. But God can work on her and turn her into the person you need her to be. If not, I know God will send you the right one, and she will treat you like a King and give you more love than your heart can receive. I pray for your situation. Sorry so lengthy! God Bless!

Hello there!\nIt must have been hard to have found that out about your girlfriend after being together for 5 months. I must take medication regularly, and I had the same problem with letting people know I took it. You should feel honored that she shared that information with you. It is so hard to even tell anyone that you have a problem, let alone someone so close to you. She is basically taking an anti-depressant, which regulate the level of serotonin in her brain. A mental illness is a disease, like diabetes or hypertension. In order to control our mental illness, we take medication. Just as someone with diabetes must have insulin. When we don't take our meds, it can cause a recurrence of our symptoms--which often includes suicidal thoughts. If you really care about her, you could try and learn about her illness. Be there to support her. People are often inclined to selfish thoughts, thinking how bad they will feel and withdrawing from the very person that needs us. Everyone has some thing or another that we must "deal" with in a relationship. I have had many relationships when the person I was with could not handle the fact I had a problem. I dont' let it run my life and am very loving and responsible. I am sure people will tell you "horror stories" about their illnesses, and these do occur. You did become her boyfriend for a reason right? Focus on her positive qualities and support her. If you feel like you could not handle it, then the best thing to do is to leave the relationship. Good luck to you!

One year!  She's not your girlfriend anymore.  She's probably avoiding you.  Didn't you ask this question yesterday?  Give it up man.\n\nhttp://www.despair.com/persistence.html

You must have seen something good in her for you to have stayed with her as long as you did. Maybe you can acknowledge that she's a good person and that you value the positive part of your past relationship. Then be straightforward, but kind, and say what you said here. She might become emotional and dramatic, but you stay calm, affirm her where you can, but keep it short and then leave. \n\nGood luck!

i would leave her if she can't keep to you for five years then what if you get married how do you know she wont do it in the future or right now. You never realize how much you like something till its gone but for her i think she is just gone

Hey John!\nShe should be no more your girl friend or something like that.\nHowever, she needs proper mental, physical and psychalogical treatment, it should be continued to recover her.
