So I'm pretty sure I've made a terrible mistake.

So I met a girl about 5 months ago and we started dating. We got really serious real fast and it hasn't been sunshine and rainbows even in the beginning we already had some issues mainly with her insecurities. She still talked to her ex-boyfriend that would text her and ask for naked pictures and she still had feelings for him and got mad at me when I would get uncomfortable about her texting him all the time when we're out on dates and stuff.

That was a long painful process that I dealt with for the first two months and even read the same thing happening to people on this very same forum while it was going on. But she finally got better and moved on with all of that mess but still part of me has had a deep mistrust towards her now after in the beginning she said we need to be honest with each other and I have been and finding out months after we've been dating about the lies she told me the whole time which was incredibly hypocritical.

The issue I have is that I allowed myself to be blinded by the thought of loneliness and not finding another girl to love me so I put all my chips into this relationship and I'm pretty sure I've lost pretty much everything. I moved out of my parents house(I'm 22) with her recently only after five months of dating which is early as hell and now I find myself going insane. It's not the normal stuff I've read about with just little issues like hygiene or living habits but her personality.

She's been starting to control me and guilt tripping me into doing everything. I work a full time job and she wanted a stupid little dog to keep her company at home but accepts no responsibility for the thing. I'm always walking it and picking up it's crap after work when I'm tired even though she has the whole day. I've told her this and she gets whiny like a toddler. But I'm always taking the garbage out and lately she's been lazy and doesn't even do the laundry when I do the dishes every night despite hardly using any of the dishes. She works a full time job too but still feels like I'm doing every chore. I have spoke my mind to her and we get mad at each other and the next day I'll still be in a bad mood and she'll be all happy and nice to me.

I can't go on my computer at night without her throwing a fit that I never spend time with her when most of the time she just wants me to watch stupid shows on netflix with her all the time. But I do that more then get alone time on my computer. But now that I have these serious thoughts of ending it. I've put myself in a bind since I moved in with her and everything. So I'm really just asking what everyone really thinks what I should do or if I'm just being selfish or what.

So... why are you with her?
Because you don't want to be alone?

You're getting taken advantage of and you pretty clearly know it.
My advice would be to break it off. Do you even love her, or are you just with her to be with someone?

I would break it off, work on your self esteem, date some people, don't get serious so quickly and certainly don't let yourself get taken for a ride.

Also, I really like this site for dating advice, you might find something useful on here: http://www.doctornerdlove.com/

Drop her like a ton of red-hot bricks.

Deadly serious.

If you can, kick her out of the flat (get a male flatmate, maybe one of your buddies, if yo need to split the rent). If the flat is in her name, find somewhere else to live (or go back to your parents) and let her deal with it (hey, she could invite her ex to move in, if she loves him so much). If you're unfortunate enough to be joint tenants, speak to your landord about bringing the end of contract forward.

Whatever you do, get out of there. You're being used and taken for a fool, and relationships like that aren't worth having anything to do with.

Also, don't make the mistake of thinking your girlfriend will change in time. She won't, and don't let her guilt-trip you into giving her "one more chance". Be single and happy, and choose your next girlfriend more wisely.

She's a user and is playing the victim card constantly.

A relationship is two people. Not a servant and a master. You're unhappy all the time. That isn't the way a relationship is supposed to be. Trust me. You deserve better and you know it isn't normal to live this way.

Get rid of her. Find a way to kick her out of the house or get out. She wants drama and attention. I've seen it time and time again. She's got a dog and and ex for that if she wants it so bad.

You'll find someone. I know it. I was in the same spot as you a few years back. The thing is, once I stopped caring and focused on being me (which was hard, very, very, VERY, hard) after all the thing I went through, just letting go, things got better. I took my mind off of those things. I focused on learning, working out everyday, etc. I met the guy of my dreams and we've been together since. I don't have to work in this relationship, but that I mean cater to his every whim. We both give as equally as we take. We're happy. We're genuinely happy to see each other.

Dump her and get her out of your life. Focus on you. You deserve to feel better. Don't rush things. Take a day at a time. Do what you love and that person will find you.

Leave her. Nothing more needs saying. (I didn't read everything, if you left her already, good). I'm sure you can find someone else. Believe in yourself.

Thanks for all of the advice and I've already made the plans to move back in my parents house again and canceling the lease early which earns a fee but better than being stuck in this hole of depression she has caused me.

The final straw was when she kept giving me shit because to her I work with a really pretty girl at work, but that's my fault apparently. But yet I caught her the other day texting her ex-boyfriend yet again which I thought we were passed but I'm done being played for a god damn tool. I don't need to give my heart out to someone early again and somehow in the back of my head I knew this was bad from the start.

I really am tired of all it and I always said to myself that I would never let anyone control me and change the way I am but I did just that with her. I allowed myself to be manipulated by her and controlled like a pet. She even treated sex like she was doing some huge favor to me which didn't make me feel good at all. Lately she's tried to have sex with me but makes it sound like I'm desperate for sex and that she is doing a service to me. I literally walked out of the room and told her good night after that and went on my computer.

I'm not going to let her control me with sex anymore or anything like that again. It's been placed on too high of a pedestal because it really isn't the best part of a relationship.

I should've listened a long time ago and left because she's already made it clear she doesn't care at all about my feelings. I was never this depressed when I was single but yet she's made me so depressed that I always am unmotivated at work and home lately. I've messed up my finances because of her and pretty much dug myself into a hole by being blinded by the prospect of having a good relationship with her.

I've made a big mess for myself over nothing and I will try and get my life back on track on my own.

Dude

NO girl, NONE, is ever worth that.

Save your pride, that's more important, dump her.

Better to move back in with your parents. I know that is rough but the situation you are in seems soul crushing and unbearable. The sex can't be that good.

You have a job which will giv eyou something to do. As far as meeting people, you are better off searching to find a person who is good for you instead of staying with someone who is obviously not.

It's not a failure to move back in with your parents (temporarily). They're your support base and this is a learning experience for you. Think of it as a set back from getting to something better.

Dump her ass and move on. Relationships are a two way street and she is not doing her part. Learn from this and carry on.

One thing I can assure you of is that it never gets any better. The sooner you jump ship the sooner you'll feel better.

I read the entire thing, however...

"So I met a girl about 5 months ago and we started dating. We got really serious real fast and it hasn't been sunshine and rainbows even in the beginning we already had some issues mainly with her insecurities. She still talked to her ex-boyfriend that would text her and ask for naked pictures and she still had feelings for him and got mad at me when I would get uncomfortable about her texting him all the time when we're out on dates and stuff."

This never stops. Also she has a parasitic personality and you have become an enabler.
The trust can't be regained with people like her and it will only get harder. You can and WILL find another girl if you want to.

I think you should leave. You sound miserable, and no one is worth all of that crap. You will find love one day with another. It would be best to move back in with your parents, and do not worry about it, it is not a failure. You should really get out of that relationship, it will get worse and worse.

Well it's finally done and over with and I won't lie, it does hurt that its over and my heart is in a lot of pain but I know its for the best. She'd rather just confide all her feelings to her ex-boyfriend after I gave it one last serious chance by being calm and respectful when I told her how I felt about it and she proceeded to yell and cuss me out.

Now I just need to fix everything else in my life and start packing up my stuff to move back in with my parents. I'm very depressed right now and I'm furious at the same time but at this very moment as I type this I can't express any emotion at all. She doesn't care about me at all and doesn't obviously love me considering she just picked the dog over me as well pretty much.

I loved her a lot and I allowed her to manipulate me for so long and being honest with her resulted me a lot of the time in apologizing to her when I shouldn't have been doing that at all. Thanks again everyone for your advice and reading what I had to say. It means a lot that I was able to come to a website I love a lot and talk to fellow gamers that even though none of you know me personally still show some genuine care and give me the best advice you have to give.

I really appreciate all of you that took time out of your day to help me out. Thank you.

Well, for better or worse, (I say it's always better), the entire uncertainty has ended and now you know where you stand, and what you can work with so you can get on with your life knowing what you're coming from.

I'll just point out that, note I'm not assumuing anything, just general not-asked-for advice kind of thing, don't go looking for another relationship too soon; when the next one rolls around you will want to be in that relationship because you want to be with the girl, not because you want/feel the need to be in a relationship.
