If all you have done is sent texts to her (and nothing else ??) how do you feel you have cheated, or have the texts been of a very explicit sexual nature, and you are feeling guilty about them?

The 'spark' can be great but can also cloud your judgement, as you will, and by the sounds of it, have started to compare new girl to your GF. Thats dangerous as you will get yourself in to the situation of stating to hate little niggling things about her

The whole blocking your phone thing was a bad idea too, all you had to do was send a text to new girl and explain why she shouldn't text you, till you text her. You have all these things going through your head and starting to assume too much, Try to realise that she may not be answering the phone simply cos she doesn't want to talk atm, and by keep hounding her is only going to wind her up even more, but she will want to know you are concerned about her, so try not to overkill it

The main thing now is, when you do speak to her, be honest and open and explain everything, how you have been feeling, ask her what she is feeling, and if the other girl situation is nothing more than you say then tell her you just needed to talk to someone and she happened to be there at the time

And be carefull if you are going to text her instead, it is easier to express things better when you write things down, but texts can also be a double edged sword. Read back what you text b4 you send it, its so easy to send shitty texts in the heat of the moment, but once you hit that send button, you will kick yourself, trust me i know from bitter experiance

The thing is though, and you might not want to think about this, but, if its not working, its not working, and you may have to weigh up the pro's and con's and work out if you are just running around after her, only to get back in the ring for round 2

When i first got my house with my ex, from day one it never worked, and it took 2 years for us to fight, bitch and ignore each other b4 we finally called it a day. It went on longer than it should have, which meant we started to resent each other and as i said, the slightest little things would niggle us, and would be used for the basis of a petty arguement

I really feel for you Darth, cos i have been in your shoes, if you really feel its worth saving, then go for it hell for leather, but, and its a big but, you really need to be honest for both of you, and try to work out where you think it will end up. Its pointless going round and round in circles and prolonging the enevitable at the end of the day

Good luck to you mate, i hope it works out, which ever way you both decide to go, and yes you should talk to your friends, but talking to us here on FH is also good because will get more of an impatial (sp) reply than your friends might give you

Drove round where she normally goes and I cant see her car. Im going to give her some space and stay at a mates for the rest of the weeeknd.

Its over IMO.

I know it's been said a lot that you shouldn't focus on the negative, but I also know that it's easier said than done.

And I know we're all just people on the internet you don't know who live miles away but I think I speak for all of us who have replied in this thread when I say it is not over unless you allow it to be.

These things are difficult to get through and most of the time you have to play it by ear. However you do have some excellent advice from us to get you started. But it's all for nothing if you don't take it, right now you're just reacting to the situation filled with emotion, we all have the advantage of advising you based on past experience and from a neutral stance. So take our advice and especially the FH babes as they are women and understand the unnatural code that makes up the female mind. :)

It's not over yet mate, if she's feeling hurt she must love you.

In my experience you should leave her alone, just leave her alone for a few days. She knows you have tried to ring her so she won't be hurt feeling that you aren't bothered.

Going your mates is a good idea, you can't force her to talk she will only talk when shes ready and then she will call you.

Always do the opposite of what you think you should do.

If you think call her, don't.
If you think find her, don't.
If you think shout at her, don't.
If you think talk to her mates, don't.

Anyways, since day one we moved in, its not been great. I feel I am always getting told off for leaving lids off this, not putting XYZ back to here and there. Little petty shitty things. Added to that, I dont have sex any more and for 4 months of this building up I had literally had enough.

This bit is more important than the texting in my opinion - once she calms down you need to talk to her about this stuff.

The texting thing will blow over but you need to resolve these underlying problems otherwise it will make you bitter and resentfull towards your partner and you will probably fairly inevitably feel the urge to stray.

Good luck - best to be completely honest but try to remain calm and I hope you work things out.

What you need to do is this -

go to a garden centre, where they keep those stone garden ornaments. Find the biggest one you can, of a badger. Leave it outside the front door, looking in. Preferably with a faintly mounful expression.

She will then be unable to deny your feelings, and all will be sorted.

Oh and by the way, her taking the phone? Bitch move and if it was the 50s, she'd earden a slapping for it.

She's been a bitch here too.

In my experience girls don't like desperate. Let her come back in her own time, if at all. Behaving any other way makes you guilty when in fact all you had was a mental dalliance,but you didn't act on it and thats what matters.

Take it on the chin. If a bit of abuse from her mates is the worst that happens, you'll have gotten off lightly. What else can you do? I think you need to apologise to the other girl as well (when its safe :)); its not her fault she'll be getting all this shit.

When things have calmed down you do need to discuss the underlying problems though.

Sound like you're atleast headed towards being sorted though Darth! Atleast she's come home and now, hopefully, you can talk and move forward.

Show her this thread.

That'll solve it.

'cause nothing says "i care" like a thread telling your deepest relationship issues for total strangers :D

Well I don't know about you Darth but I'd be pretty pissed off that she looked through your phone in the first place.

We sat down yesterday for a good 2 hours yesterday and talked things through. We have aired a lot of our hidden issues and I feel better.

She still doesnt believe much what I say but thats the mistrust she has in me at the moment and Its going to take time to get the back

Well, its not over yet but its a start

Thanks for all your kind words and support.

Glad you are talking it through. If its the real deal, its worth biting the bullet and working for it. The real deal is very rare and special.

Hmm - she seems terribly insecure about this stuff - o well - guess it might take a while for her to calm down.

Wouldn't you be? If i thought my husband was cheating I know that I would take his phone, and ram it up his arse.

She has the right to be insecure tbh like what Russell has said, but its a two way thing a relationship. I know what I did was wrong and even when things arent right then its still not right.

I do think its over tbh, she will never trust me again

Well, I am now at my mates, looks like ill be here for a couple of nights.

She came home from the Stables, said I havent been telling thr truth, said shes been thinking and its all shite. I told her I couldnt tell her any more as I dont have anything else to tell her! I think one of her mad hockey mates has been filling her head with shite.

Well, it looks like its over I am afraid.

Shite, my own fault I know but hey!
