You're wrapped around her finger and don't even know it OP. The bad joke that everybody gets but you.

What you want to do is ask her if she has a hotter, younger, less fucked in the head sister

Soooo, I'll try to keep it brief but it'll probably turn out long AF
I help run a FB Singles group which encompasses 4 counties (UK). During lockdowns I used to run a regular Friday Night Zoom party for members. In January this Polish girl joined the group, started joining the Zooms and every week (normally because she'd had some wine) she couldn't figure out how to join, so she she'd message me.
From there we started talking more and more, until it became private WhatsApp video calls, messages daily etc.
Eventually we arranged to meet up for real (we live 54 miles apart and she doesn't drive). She invited me to hers for Easter Sunday champagne breakfast. As soon as she opened the front door I thought "wow!" We hit it off immediately, it was just like a continuation of the Zooms, messages etc.
From there we started seeing each other every couple of weeks, then every weekend once she felt comfortable to introduce me to her 5 Yr old son.
In June, we decide to do the FB official thing. We have a fair few mutual friends (from the FB group) and they all say we match perfectly. We get on like a house on fire, i really fall in love with her, she the same with me, I get on great with her son (who tells me he loves me too)...all going amazing, planned futures together, moving in, having a baby...you get the idea.
Fast forward to the Bank Holiday Monday at the end of August...she texts me out the blue saying can we just be friends!
Naturally I'm devastated, she doesn't want to talk, just says she's realised she is not in the right place to be in a relationship etc...all through texts...i ask for my belongings back that are at hers, each time I ask she makes an excuse why she can't give them to a mutual friend or whatever... whole week goes by and its her Sons 6th birthday.
She thanks me for his gift I sent, her texts completely change and for a whole week it's darling this, darling that, i need to sort my head out, I miss you etc.
Another week passes...suddenly the texts are cold, one line, no kisses... Eventually I tell her (rather than ask as before) that I'm collecting my belongings, I drive over that evening and collect from her next door Neighbour and our mutual friend.
Go forward another week and it's my birthday, i receive a card from her, a pop up card with photos on it she took and exploding confetti. I also get a text from her at 1am on my birthday saying she wanted to be the first to give birthday wishes.
Go forward now to last weekend...
Friday evening I go to her town to meet some friends (that she knows) for a drink at the pub. One of them posts a photo of us all on FB...she sees it, posts a photo of her around her neighbour (our mutual friend) with a sarky comment...i end up storming round and saying that we need that face to face talk.
We go back to her house, talk until 4am...she tells me a number of times that she's in love with me but still doesn't want a relationship.
All that while we are getting off with each other, then sleep together and I eventually leave at 11am the next day. Mindfuck!!
I should point out that she is mid 30s, I'm mid 40s so we're not exactly teenagers but I really don't know what to make of it all. Known each other for 10 months, dated since April...lets just hope that last weekend doesn't end up in her becoming pregnant as that'll be the real twist
Thoughts wise people of NeoGaf???
I know some will say forget about her etc...easier said than done as I do still really love her
You're both too old for this shit. Do you want something stable or just to fool around. Make a decision and go for it. Have her choose. If you can't be on the same page you need to cut her out

She's 30 yrs old. That's ancient in crazy Polish chick years. He probably wants to hit the 18 - 20 mark if he wants one that's gonna last him for a while

Fucking hell.
So true.
For what it's worth OP, was with a Polish woman for 12 years. Best years of my life. Well apart from the Dutch and Sicilian.
Gave me a blow-job first time I met her. *warning*. Thought WTF? Turns out she had a BF, had to confront him.
Regret nothing.

So this girl appears from a... Facebook group in January that you're interested in. Decide to meet in person in April, she has a 5 y/o kid and you all hit it off, start planning futures together with babies two months later in June? And then you're surprised she's pumping the brakes another 2 months later?
Where's the kid's dad? Either way, you're both too old for this bullshit. Bail out now while you're ahead.

Oh I fully agree with what you say, it all happened VERY quickly. She has already mentioned that, I've come to realise it NOW.
Her kids Dad is around. He pays his bills, has the kid every other weekend etc. I've met him a fair few times and get on with him, they keep a respectful relationship to make sure the kid doesn't get affected more than he should.
We are both too old for this, completely agree which is why it really knocked me when it all went wrong.
I am usually pretty good with sniffing out bullshit when it comes to women, which is why I am still believing that there is no one else involved in this instance.
I'm purposely letting her do the chasing now. I do have someone else I know very interested in me, funnily enough she is also Eastern European (Slovakian) but far less crazy
. That said, I don't feel the same way about her as I do my ex, see her more as a friend than potential lover. Just want to point out, I don't have a history of only dating women from Eastern Europe

Love is a bitch and will make a man do crazy things. Take it from another man that had his emotions played with. I do not recommend you trying to force or expect a serious relationship out of this. If she really does not want (or is serious about a real relationship with you) then it's really time you evaluate what you are looking for man. If you want this to get serious then y'all are on two different wavelengths and that opens the field up for emotional trauma.
You need to clearly state what you want from her and figure out what she really wants. You don't deserve to have your feelings played with bro. Have another serious talk and figure out where y'all both stand. I'm not saying to immediately drop her from the face of the earth, but you need to temper your expectations and realize that you deserve a person that will be straight with you.

Be honest and upfront.
Relationship or nothing, no contact til she has decided one way or the other.

Can't let being in love control you, certainly not at this stage of your life. Take 10 steps back and think pragmatically.

Either you're cool with an open relationship or GTFO mate. My guess is she's already been playing the field. What you choose to do is up to you.

if there's one thing i've learned is that people with different childhoods to you can have entirely flipped worldviews. You don't know what early life in Poland was like for a mid-30s woman, you yourself say all your ex GFs are poms. Learn more about why she seems to be flaky, ask her direct questions, ignore the platitudes and push for answers, if u really care at least... maybe she's got an overbearing parent telling her not to rush? an ex?
do both of you a favour and be straightforward, and inqusitive.
unless u don't care that much, in which case she's got 10 years on you in the 'find someone' race

In that case just sit back ten years until she hits the wall and finds out her sexual marketplace value is virtually non existent.

This post right there. From all that OP said, it really does sound exactly like that. It's happened to us all at one point, so the recommended course of action is to detach emotionally as quickly and directly as humanly possible (which is the hardest part), and try to get the most fun out of it sex-wise for the time being, as it won't last.This is straight forward, and it shocks me so many men still don't understand this. She's into another guy and is giving you a line. She wants you to not hate her (not because of you, women just don't like not being liked or people thinking ill of them), and she is basically lying to herself to assuage any guilt she should feel.
It's another guy. Period.
Just let her go. Or you could call her out on it and see how quickly the rage ramps up.
Also, OP, you should absolutely do the bolded. I don't think it will improve your situation with her, but it will make for the most interesting updates to this thread, so at least you can keep us entertained moving forward.

If there is this much drama and you are not in an official relationship, the drama will intensify when you are in one. I think you have to decide, is the drama and uncertainty worth it to you. If it is then keep seeing her, and if it isn't then end the relationship.
Also I would burn that pillow. no self respecting person has a relationship pillow.

There’s only one sensible way to deal with this if you genuinely want to be with her, treat her with cold detachment and hope that she loves the chase.
She’s playing games, one way or the other. So you’ll either find out that she’s not willing to put in the effort to convince you, or she’ll be into you more than ever.
But don’t let yourself get played.

I don’t know if this is cute or a little weird, haha. I think it’s the cushion thing that makes it a little odd…That's not far off!

I think you made this thread because you know the relationship is not healthy.....She is easy on the eyes, but hard on the head.
You have to stop letting her dictate as well, it is a mutual thing, you have to tell her, that we work together and talk to each other or there is nothing between us.

Won't lie OP but it sounds like to me you shouldn't invest any more emotions or mental energy into this relationship.

A. I am not going to read the oterh comments because there is no doubt we will share thoughts so I just want to put mine out there.
B. I think this thread has shown me, I am boring as fuck when it comes to drama in my life.
C. It sounds to me she wants to play the field more, and probably is, and felt guilty.

Thanks, that's what I'm doing. I only message her if she messages me, she lasted a day and a half and messaged me about her son remembering a story/fairytale I made up.
I'll keep leaving it and see what happens, I'm done with chasing her as much as I do care for and love her

If it was just for the photos I'd think yeah, whatever but...she was all over me, all the time. We have a lot of mutual friends who saw us together a lot and they were all stunned when she ended it...they couldn't understand saying she absolutely doted on you, was always draped over you etc

Just be sure that when she inevitably comes back, you must make her submit.
Like, have her give you analingus while she's juggling some water balloons.
