Billy, you're making yourself look bad. Honestly, I've gotten the perspectives I've needed and if I'm being honest none of them are from you. Spend more time talking to people who care about what you think. And yes, Psychologist, but let me ask you what makes you more qualified than me to dispense advice on any subject? Have you studied psychology and graduated a year early because of intense studious behaviors only to be the youngest one in your program for a MASTERS degree with the second highest marks? What do you do for a living that makes you more qualified to dispense knowledge on this subject?
It may actually be something relevant, but my best guess is that its probably not.
You may be a great guy, this is something I don't know, but now it is unfortunately something I don't care to find out. I, honestly and sincerely, wish you and your girlfriend the best of luck with the child.
And Arbygil, I hadn't considered that, being viewed as a more father/friend type. What had happened in my last relationship is that she had needed the help and she didn't have anyone to turn to. I didn't necessarily feel obligated nor did I really jump at the chance to help, but I did anyway. That would make quite a bit of sense that feelings could dissipate, albeit more slowly, over a period of time if how she saw me started to change. One fact I didn't put out there is that she left me for a guy she knew for a month because he said she was his soulmate and proposed to her. That was two months before we actually broke up so, maybe the hopeful part of me, maybe there was conflict, but because her view of me changed she ultimately chose the other guy.
