Ex girlfriend is giving me a shot. We were together for 2 years and then broke up last year. She never stopped talking to me. I want to marry her. But but but. She wants to go slow. We were living together. So hard to go slow. She sees me two times a week or so. Of course I want to see her every day.

Please help. How do I act. I know she's scared to jump back in.
How do you go slow?
Ladies. What would it mean to you.

When I first saw this thread I thought it was about getting a liver transplant. Was getting ready to report this thread to be moved.

Well, good luck in getting back with her.

Why does she want to go slow? Why did you two break up? Whatever the cause was, maybe she wants time to observe, to make sure it doesn't happen again.

You are living together but she sees you only 2 x a week?

This "relationship" sounds worse than a liver transplant

He said they were living together. Before the breakup, I take it. lol I had to double-check that.

No maybe I need to edit my post. We were living together last year but when we broke up I moved out and she moved into a new apartment. I did not cheat on her but I definitely did her wrong. I failed to take care of her and got lazy when I lost my job. I have a new job now and I'm getting back on my feet. I'm just looking for advice on how to go slow

Try going to marital relationship counseling together now ---to avoid and or deal with whatever went wrong last time.

If she's only willing or able to see you twice/week, you won't have any choice but to go slow, right? Give her time to get to know the new you. She wants to take her time to see if you really do get back on your feet and make a successful go of your life this time. That takes time.

What do you two do for dates? Is she being cautious about getting too close to you in the beginning stages (the re-beginning)?

Couples counseling, therapy, you know the works bro.

Good luck, but I suspect it's more than just losing a job and whatnot, and more about other issues within you that derailed it the first time.

I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of couples around the world that had to deal with the husband/boyfriend losing a job, but never broke up or had it derail the relationship.

Better make sure you are 1000% healthy of mind before pursuing this again, lest you go through the very same thing again and again with women.
