    Hi guys! Such a long time ago I logged in here but I'm here and still struggling but that's not the point in this thread actually.

    As I've mentioned a long time ago, I have a girlfriend. We are quite young, 16 years old and soon I'm 17. We've been together for 1 year and 1 month. The first months we were madly in love, atleast I was. She was in love too but now as passionate as me. She could've look at a TV show instead of talking to me and that hurt me for days. I was the bitch and she was controlling me sorta say. It continued like this for months.

    Now here I am. I'm not in love with her as before, now I'm control-free and she still loves me and I do to. At least I think so. She's beautiful, cute, funny, smart, kind hearted and she were once my perfect girl I imagined but that has gone now. We kiss from time to time and only kiss, no making out and she have boundaries that I'm not allowed to break. I can't make out properly with the tongue and stuff, I get irritated sometimes and we sometimes argue. She hates when I play games because I spend much of my time on that. One thing guys, games have been a huge impact in my life. Thanks to it I can speak and write English very decent and it has protected me when my mom and dad fights. It's my own world and she doesn't sometimes understand that, or she forgets. I don't know.

    I will keep playing games. But yes, she hates when I game. but here's the thing. I have a friend who is a girl, she's cute and asian(which I'm not but my ethniticy is from the asian part of the world) and beautiful, she has the same twisted humour as me, she loves games like me. Recently we've been talking a lot more, she's travled recently and I kinda miss her to be honest.
    I can't sometimes stop thinking about her, and sometimes I even look at a picture of her.
    She's just perfect also. I like her ALOT, and I think if we keep like talking and seeing, I think it will escalate my liking to being in love with her.

    My current relationship is bit of tough because mine is not public. If it is her parents will just be mad as hell, when I say mad i mean mad as WAAAY OVER THE TOP. She's from a culture like that, but since I'm a boy I do not have the same problem. We've managed to keep our secret relationship but telling our friends of course. We've been talking that if we are going to marry each other it will me atleast in 6-7 years when we graduate from university. To be honest that is a long time and I think eventuelly in the road we will argue and things will be ugly.
    People these days asks me If I'm in a relationship with her and I must deny for our safety, it has been to much exposed and it's risky. Her brother is freaking scary too.
    Tell me, is a secret relationship always going to be secret untill we can eventuelly get married in like 6 years or more? My opionion in this is that those relationships are risky, dangerous and relationships cannot be secret forever because someone will do a mistake and we will be caught. It's a town and everyone knows each other. too damn risky. Plus we're too young anyway..

    So yeah, I don't know what to do. I think I still love her or is it me just caring too much?
    She have everything but no one is perfect. She annoys me and stuff but everyone does too of course. Ughh.. Love is so overrated sometimes..


    It'll be hard if I decide to break up because I care too much. She's such an angel but in this one I seem to be the devil :( I want more, I crave more but she can't do it. And I don't wanna change her also so... yeah.

    And the other girl who I like adore, I think she likes me but I question myself sometimes if she really does. If she doesn't it's okay I guess, I will probably get depressed but.. That's how it is getting rejected. Anyway.. It's so hard to like write everything in here but if you have questions just ask :)

    So should I go all-in on my secret girlfriend which is very riskful and so forth or should I break up because It will be better for our own good and for me. She deserves someone better than me I guess, she deserves to be happy. And btw, the other girl, I haven't kissed or anything but it's clearly we have chemistry and really likes each other. That's what I can see but yeah.

    What should I do my friends? I know this isn't something to talk about in here maybe but I do not knnow where else to turn to except here. Sorry for the long text but this will help me tremendously if you actually reply!

    Thanks in advance! :D

    That was interesting to read, I don't know the situation in detail, so from the information given it seems you and your current girlfriend are just not comfortable with each other if she has the problem accepting your gaming etc.. but it's rare to find a person that loves you equally as you love them, and the fact that you have to keep it a secret, the chance of it all working out seems slim in my eyes, but every individual situation is different anyway.

    I can't tell you what you should do from the other side of a computer screen, that's up to your personal judgement but to me it seems like your current relationship is a 'toxic' relationship where it progressively gets slightly worse after the first few honeymoon months.
    I'd go for the other girl because we're young and might aswell take risks, for the better. Also it's amazing to have a girl to share "twisted humor" with.

    But yeah overall it seems in your current relationship you seem to both be uncomfortable with each other and the things you do, and the other girl may very well be worth going for.
    Gook luck on whatever you do!

    Hi Phantom! Thanks for the reply! Truly appreciate it!

    She says that I don't care about your gaming but she hates it and stuff but yeah. And as said I the first months I was crazy in love and gave all my attention to her but now it's nothing and I just don care. We've kinda switched rolls here. But yes it is slim for me too, it's a long way and it is quite dangerous.

    I'm trying so hard not to be that guy that breaks up but i don't know. I remember saying to her don't ever leave me and now look what happened haha.

    But the other girl is amazing. I couldn't sleep today and my mind were on her and my relationship too... But I don't know how to even break up, what do I say and stuff.

    Thanks for the reply again Phantom!

    Ps: yes her humor and her personlity is great, i freaking love it. We have a chemistry sorta say, regarding the other girl.

    Hey Rob,

    How many hours a day do you play games? Try trading in just one hour a day for a date with your girlfriend. Go on a walk, a bike ride, to the movies, out to eat, swim, picnic, etc. This will tremendously help your relationship.

    Do not break up with your current girlfriend for the other girl. You want the other girl because you're human. Relationships thrive on the same drug that our porn addiction thrives on, dopamine. The reason you feel like things have gone downhill in the relationship is because you guys have been together for a year. Over time, the amount of dopamine that is released decreases as you repeat actions. I bet the first kiss you had with your girlfriend completely rocked your world. Now that you've been with your girlfriend for a year, you've probably shared hundreds of kisses. The hundredth kiss is not going to give you as much pleasure as the first kiss.

    You're so interested in the new girl because she's new. More dopamine is released because you haven't done things with her hundreds of times. But trust me if you were to go out with her after a year all of that excitement will be gone. Just as the excitement is gone now in your current relationship.

    If you've already dated this girl for a year, it would be best to work out the struggles in the relationship. That's what truly builds love. It's overcoming the obstacles in order to devote yourself to someone else.

    About the secrecy part, I am not sure how to deal with it. If you lived in America, I would say tell the parents. But I know that foreign countries are often very strict about relationships and dating. Just do what feels safest for you guys. On the bright side, I don't think that you will have to keep it secret for 6 years until you're done with university, but it will still take time.

    Good luck,

    Dragonslayer

    Thanks for the reply!

    I play atleast 2 hours,I have a channel where I livestream so sometimes it could extend.
    And yes some hours could help but bro, it's never one hour because when will go out it will take 1 hour to go there, wait a bit, then we'll take our walk it will take 2 hours and maybe even more. So it's a huge chunk of time. But we're actually meeting up tomorrow.

    You have a good point and explaination there. And yes correct, my first kiss was like "wooow". Thing is we do kiss but not a lot mate, she's like an "angel" she doesn't want much of that but I do. I seriously asked well when are we going deeper something like toungue kissing and she said after we get married. So atleast in 7 years. I try to ignore the feeling of wanting to but sometimes I just want to because we do almost nothing but talking and talking. I'm a guy and I have needs, you guys know that.

    You have a good point there tho... Thing is I'm young and I wanna get others attention and stuff.
    But let me explain, the 6 first months I was crazy in love and I wrote texts that were sooo long and I got almost a half of it and nothing more. She kinda didn't give me the same amount of love and it hurt me. Right now she demands more from me because simply I'm tired of giving the same amount of love over and over again. I began too strong with her and not normal so that one thing I've learned.

    The secrecy part, it would explain it if I told you she were a muslim girl but not with the clothes and thingy. She's normal but she has her boundaries. I live in a town where everyone knows each other and if we get caught it's bad for me but most of all her because she's the girl. Her parents would be mad as hell.
    And she's got a brother also, now I don't know if he's going to beat me up or not so yeah.
    The safest thing to do is break up for our safety.

    Hm.. I don't know actually with that part Dragonslayer. The fact that we must keep it secret is to protect us and many is suspecting now. I worked a math tutor and 14 years old girls that I didn't know even asked me if I was together with her, 2 girls lol. And one of my friend did a big mistake just busting our asses to some of our friends that wasn't suppose to know. Our town is kind of gossipy sorta say.
    What I mean, If this happends over a year what will happend next year, and then next year?

    I hope you can reply to this since you have a good point with the dopamine part and I want to see the answer :p

    Thanks!

    I'd be interested to know if you're from another religion or don't believe in God?

    also, I agree with Dragonslayer that if you've been with the girl for a year, it would be a shame to not work things out. I feel like she deserves that from you. On the other hand, it sounds like it's a pretty tricky situation that was at least initially fuelled by the excitement of that all too cliche 'forbidden love'.

    I see, thanks for the reply! Well I still don't know what I'm going to do. As said, we are meeting tomorrow and I'll see what happends. I'll try things out, I'll let it be for some weeks and see if it's still the same. But yeah forbidden love indeed, that's the thing. I can't take her out for restaurants, café's, lunch, dinner, hiking, riding bycicle. I can only walk with her and even then we have to be super cautious to not be seen. It's bit of annoying sometimes and eventuelly some day we will get caught and it will not end well.

    So you guys are separated by distance? Or why does it take an hour to meet up with her? Perhaps you could call her for an hour or skype everyday, and actually meet up at least once a week. I know it's a struggle not to do more with your girlfriend. I've been in the same exact situation, and I'm sure most of us here have. In my own experience, I was greedy and didn't wait. I stole my girlfriend's virginity when she was not ready to. This caused a huge problem in our relationship that has taken almost a year to sort out and help her emotionally. Trust me when I say that waiting has fewer consequences than rushing in. Just wait until she is ready. You guys will be able to share something magical.

    I feel you with wanting to get other's attention. I broke up with many girlfriends because I wanted to get other's attention. I always think I would have been better off working through the relationship. I also understand that it can be difficult to feel as if you're not getting the same amount of love back in a relationship. It's best to just talk about it and work through the issues. Things will get better.

    With the secrecy, I wouldn't worry about the brother. That is a brother's job. He is supposed to be the protector of his sister. I doubt he would beat you up as long as you show that you truly respect her. With the parents I'm not sure. I know when I was younger I would often keep relationships secret too because my parents (my mom in particular) would be mad. She would always find out though. However, she never made me break up with the girl or anything. She was always more mad that she found out from someone else rather than me. I think her parents would be less mad if they found out from you guys than if they found out from someone. Definitely look at the situation though. Remember I can't fully access your situation because of cultural differences. I know that Muslims take sex as a very serious thing, but every individual is different. What do you truly think would happen if her parents found out?

    thedisputeoffappiness I believe I didn't answer ur post about my belief, well you can say that I'm agnostic. But she's muslim aswell as my parents are. I'm born and raised in scandinavia. I'm not the religious guy :)

    Sertobe, good point. In this case who. And If I don't get the other girl I'll probably get sad and get back in my deppression cycle but I got our from my first relationship (Which lasted 20 days more or less and she was the one who broke up)

    Dragonslayer, yes. We live in the same town like 10 min from each other but if we have to meet we need to go somewhere near the forest which will take a while. I get your point bro... hmm thing is, I don't know If I really wanna skype with her. And the losing virginity part is not important for me, I will wait and I want to I guess. She wants to wait aswell. I don't really care about that but it that she have many boundaries and I cannot do really physical thing other then kissing, hugging and holding hands. You know how "young" kids are about exploring stuff, kinda same here about me. So short point, we will never ever have sex until marriage, IF we get married which will take a long while.

    Uh I see, well. Yes the brother may only talk and maybe get mad. And in our culture I cannot and will not tell my parents yet at this age because things will get a bit messy. Since I'm the guy I will not get as much as problem as the girl will. Her parents will be mad as hell, maybe even go far that she will knock on our doors. Probably will haha, her mother is scary. And they will tell her to break up so she will and I don't know if she will have a "underground" relationship with me but she will be more watched and controlled like FBI watches over a suspect, get it? So about telling our parents is a no no.

    The only one in a family that knows is my family which is my sister. I talked and she said " Do whatever you feel and what I think is that you should break up because you're going to get attentions from girls but you wont be able to do something back and you're too young." Her words was kinda like that.

    I dont know if I alreay wrote this but, she texted me that I miss you and stuff and it got awkward for me and I felt guilt because I didn't know if I really miss her back. The other girl is on vacation and the day after she went I missed her instead. And mine kinda feels old and repetative. She wants things from me that I did in the past when I had a lot of free time on my hands, but that was then I gave her all my attention. She kinda ignored some and took and gave a little back and now I'm just tired.

    And about meeting about, we're doing that tomorrow. So we will go out and it will take 30 minutes to go there near the forest. After that I'll have to wait for her maybe a long time and then the whole walking takes about 2-3 hours.

    But yes, that's what I mean with our relationship being dangerous because you never know what they will do. :) Thanks for the reply Dragonslayer and everyone else! :)

    Thoughts on this?

    Dude you have a girlfriend in a muslim community?? Good work pulling that off. And you are 16. Good work at that too. And this is you when you PMO. Man, you will be a future player. I suggest you leave both girls cause I am pretty sure you can ask anyone literally anyone to be your girlfriend...

    Great advice. You actually hooked me up with some tidbits too thanks. :)

    Sometimes reassurance is just what we need.
