(Editor’s Observe, this letter was written earlier than Doc’s loss of life in August, 2020 however nonetheless related as Doc’s rules are timeless).
Hey Doc,
I’ve been relationship Kelly for shut to 6 months now and our relationship total has been actually good. Kelly is a decent-looking woman and she or he is an ideal 10 in persona and she or he’s a enjoyable, attentive, loving girlfriend. I’ve dated many, many ladies and this one has been by far the nicest. She listens to the whole lot I say and if I’ve an issue, she tries to assist me with it. I couldn’t start to inform you all of the small and massive issues she does for me.
Anyway, on to my ridiculous drawback. Although Kelly is a superb girlfriend and on paper our relationship is flawless, I discover myself usually different girls and even flirting with outdated girlfriends. I haven’t cheated on her, however I do really feel unhealthy about my fixed ideas of messing round with different ladies. Kelly is most undoubtedly marriage materials. I’ve at all times mentioned to myself that after I discover the appropriate woman I’m going to calm down. Now right here I’m 24 years outdated, I meet the appropriate woman and all of my theories and beliefs exit the window! Generally I discover that I need to break up with Kelly as a result of I really feel that I haven’t dated round sufficient. Mockingly, I at all times thought it was dumb of men to need to idiot round continuously. I favored having only one woman and needed to be devoted till the top. Now I really feel like I haven’t been round sufficient, if you’ll.
I’m at a loss for what my subsequent step must be. I don’t know if I want to simply develop up and stick with Kelly, or break up together with her and go on my method. Breaking apart together with her would destroy her, as a result of this woman completely adores me. I’ve by no means seen anybody love somebody like she loves me. Please give me some teaching and thanks in your time.
Ulmar – who doesn’t need to blow a great factor
Have you ever checked out Doc’s newest FREE video: DO WOMEN PREFER A MUSCULAR OR LEAN BODY – OR DOES IT EVEN MATTER? (REMEMBER, THE NEXT VIDEO COMES OUT ON 3/19/2023 – WHAT DO YOU DO IF SHE’S PULLING AWAY?)
Hello Ulmar,
It’s an actual signal of your maturity that you simply acknowledge that whilst you have a lady who shouldn’t be textbook stunning, you’re interested in her anyway. And it’s additionally a tribute to you that you simply’re sensible sufficient to comprehend that it’s what’s on the within that lasts. As a result of once you’ve been with a girl for a very long time what’s on the surface – her seems to be – will go. And it’s nice that you simply’re sensible sufficient to comprehend that Kelly actually has IT — the IT that basically issues. Congratulations to you, pal.
One thing else in your letter struck me. You employ the phrase “good” to explain Kelly. What number of guys can describe their girlfriends or wives as being good? Give it some thought, my good friend. Besides, she listens to no matter it’s a must to say. Now take into consideration all the excessive upkeep you’ll must do with these “10s” on the market in the event you do resolve to eliminate Kelly. Some girls who seems to be like Megan Fox couldn’t care much less about what you say. It’s all about HER, HER, HER. And it at all times can be.
To you Psych majors, you’re at all times going to stroll down the road, or watch a film, or open {a magazine} and see stunningly attractive girls. However you’re solely making your self really feel depressing, Ulmar, in the event you torture your self over them since you’re enjoying what I name the “comparability sport.” In different phrases, out of your notion they’re 10s and your girlfriend isn’t. And in the event you maintain enjoying it and you ultimately succumb to your individual misgivings, you’ll find yourself blowing it with this good woman.
Sure, you’re at all times going to note a better-looking woman than you may have such as you’ll at all times discover fancier vehicles than yours on the freeway. However you don’t have any thought what’s happening between that Stunning Woman’s ears. You recognize nothing concerning the scars and baggage she’s dragging round. And right here’s one other factor. What makes you suppose you’ll be happy with a 10? Then take into consideration the truth that you may have a lady you say is flawless, and the way useful that’s.
It’s okay if all of your theories and beliefs have gone out the window. “Know thyself,” goes the outdated adage, and that’s crucial factor. At the least you already know that you’ve got a great woman even in case you are interested in others. So that is what it’s a must to ask your self: in the event you have been 28 or 30 or 32, would you continue to have these ideas? Perhaps you probably did meet Kelly once you have been too younger. Perhaps you’re proper about your self, and also you haven’t gotten round sufficient. Perhaps you’re not likely able to calm down. However not less than you’re trying inside your self, you’re considering deeply about this, and also you haven’t cheated on Kelly. Like the nice Physician Freud as soon as mentioned, “You may need dedicated the sin of infidelity in your thoughts, however not less than you didn’t exit and do something about it.”
And it’s a must to additionally ask your self this: what are the percentages that once you lastly resolve that you simply need to be a person and never a boy anymore and calm down, that you will discover one other nice woman? The reality is that in the event you eliminate Kelly, you may not discover anybody practically nearly as good as her. Then you definitely’ll be evaluating all of the beauties you’re going out with to Kelly, and guess what? They’re by no means going to match her.
So right here you’ve bought a lady with an “A” persona, an “A” Curiosity Stage, an “A” angle, and also you need to eliminate her. Earlier than you do something, my son, you’d higher deeply search your soul.
Bear in mind, guys: you’re at all times going to see girls who’re hotter than the one you may have.
