Go wherever they'll give you a set of balls.

Good luck, Grasshopper.

as shitty as this feels now you've been given a really good gift.
you get your freedom and can do/see anyone/anything you please.
Stick around in Korea. Nothing is Happening in the west. If you go
home to some lame customer service job for 10 bucks an hour
for some girl you're really going to regret it later. But it already sounds like
you have no balls so good luck with everything.

LOL, OP. Is this the same girl you wrote about extensively way back when? The one you were so infatuated by, found so "delicious?" The one that met you at the airport? It's still the girl, eh? Well, you never listened to the advice back then, so do what you "need" to do. Girl addictions are tough to get over, but it'll make you a better man.

I can't believe this situation and you are letting her get away with it. I know you love her and love is blind but just coz Love is involved doesn't mean its right. Love is two sided. Do you not deserve to have a girl who feels for you , the way you feel for them.
You are allowing this plus a girl likes a guy who doesn't allow himself to be treated like a door mat.
Leave her!!

Alright folks thanks for the opinions on the girl.

Let's try to stay on topic here. Have any of you been faced with a similar situation and found it difficult to decide?

I'm sure a lot of you aren't first-timers in Korea.

If it involves a girl, then of course it will difficult for you to decide.

God gave men a *beep* and a brain, but not enough blood to run both at the same time.

Better start "thinking" and figure out what is best for you, and only you.

In your writing, it seems like you answered your own question. Go back home.

GirlyGirl is so right... what would you think of a female putting up with a guy doing the same thing? You'd tell her to kick him to the curb in an instant. I know more than one guy like that here in Korea that's serving as a lapdog for some Korean girl. Don't be that guy. Like others have said, might as well finish your contract and get the bonus money before going, so you have some time to decide, but either way, the girl's got to go. I know you said it's not the topic you originally sought advice for, but as long as you let her play you like a fool, it'll cloud all of your other decision-making.

And yes, my ID is mr. positive, but there's nothing positive about a girl like that, and the best thing you can do for her and yourself is to move on. It'll set you straight, and maybe she'll start to get a clue that it's not right to treat folks the way she does - or not.

She's just not that into you. Period.

I think every guy has been in a similar situation as you are now (the "I'm in love with her, but she doesn't love me back" thing, NOT the "letting her see other guys" thing btw). Only distance and time will solve that one, my friend, 'cause it doesn't look like you have the will to stay away. Go home or change cities/countries, get a new girl. One who won't castrate you.

She wants to go to Tunisia. I can think of roughly 10 places I'd rather visit in the world than North Africa. But since she's fluent in Arabic, it wouldn't be bad.

She's just playing on my emotions. Yesterday was 'my day', so she picked up stuff from the grocery store and made me a killer meal. After that we just laid in bed all day and talked. That's what I consider to be a perfect chilly Saturday night activity. She gave me a letter she wrote saying how her feelings for me are the same as they were last winter (we were in heaven last winter, perfect relationship). She keeps saying she is feeling more strongly for me, but after talking to the guy she's also seeing, she 'decided' last night that she likes him better, and that she won't see me any more.

You should know that with her, there are no absolutes. "Won't see you anymore" really means "See you next time momma needs big poppa to bring home the 삼겹살. For her, it's the sex and my undying devotion that keeps her coming back. For me, it's the sex and the attachment I feel for her. I would give her a kidney if she needed it.

Things can be great, or horrible. She told me last night (after much probing) that she actually would be pretty upset if I left for Canada.

I should write a book.


No, you should get a life you pathetic excuse for a man. Quite being a bitch and start taking charge of your life you loser!


No need to sugaecoat it for you bro. You're a grown man and you're sounding like a thirteen year old girl.


unbelievable!!!!!







Laughing

I meant everything I said though and if I ever came close to being what you are, I hope someone else would slap me upside the head.

OMG...I feel so sad for you, OP. This day and age, women wouldn't even put up with this kind of behaviour from men. Why would you accept this from a woman? She treats you like this because you LET her. If you enjoy this kind of rendezvous, then carry on. But it seems you're frustrated and hurt, please demand some respect or move on. Don't worry your time will come. There are good women out there.


agreed

I confess, I've played a boy or two sorta like that.

It wasn't on purpose. It was just that there was another guy whom I liked better, or was in love with, who didn't love me back. When things went south with him, I would lean on the nice guy who was in love with me, even though I didn't love him.

You should definitely dump her azz!

After that, go home and be reminded of how people treat you when they really do care about you.

Once you get home, take some time to clear your head, then you will be prepared to make decisions about your future.

Do the wedding in July, & come back to Korea in August / September. If you've been at your current job for over a year, they should give you a month off anyway.
