I've been a dick to my girlfriend. I'm doing the same thing I've been doing in all my relationships - I'm being paranoid, needy and always thinking that the worst things will happen.
When it comes to relationships I constantly "fish" for compliments. I guess I need the validation, due to my insecurities.
Every girl I've been with have grown bored with me. They think im the most sexy thing thing ever, and so mysterious and interesting. Fast-forward 2-3 months and they are ready to throw me out. It just gets worse and worse, because my negative-generalizations keep getting reinforced by this behavior.
I'm actually not needy. I don't want or need to see her everyday, but I feel that any women I am with will betray me. Any moment of the day is another day she could go out and cheat - And from my perspective any female friend I have had, have always fell for the bullshit. I don't denie that I haven't met or been with alot of women or have had that many female friends, but I have been so disappointed in women in the age range of 18-28. The contempt for their shallowness eats me up like an old man.
I simply think so little of the women I am with. I trust them, yet I don't. I know it has nothing to do with them, but it's me. It's my ego that won't get bruised. I am afraid she will be other guys laughing behind my back.
I feel entitled when she doesn't want to see me, or have sex. I'm a decent person, but I have these horrible hang ups with women. I don't think this way (I think) due to wanting to control or be better. It's just fear. It's just fear of loss. The irony is that, everything might be fine, but I am creating real life problems, because they are only in my head.
My ego is so massive in this area. If I am not the best guy. If I am not the most handsome, the most strong, the most interesting, the smartest, then someone else will sweep her up her feet, and because she loves new, interesting, mysterious, getting the best she can, and because I am not longer interesting because she knows me, I told her my feelings and thoughts - She has not as much incentive or adrenaline infusing experiences with me, as some new guy. She will most likely settle for a stable guy in 10-15 years from now.
