If you want to make him grovel, that means:
1. You are not over him. 2. Your want to assuage your own pain at his expense.
I'm not being mean. I've been there. Better to walk away and forget. The best *revenge* is leading a happy, rewarding life.

nobody is perfect. he behaves to you in this way likely because also you something do to him, something that perhaps hurt his feelings, unless is...

Honestly, if there is that much stress in a relationship and you are not married, it's best just to walk away. I mean it. Most of my relationships have had that type of drama in them. Now, I'm in one that is peaceful and respectful and honest. First time in my life and I'm 38. There's no comparison and there's no going back.

It's just not very *healthy* to want to make a man you love *grovel.*

I think u have to take into account his nationality, cultural background and religious beliefs. For example, an English man from my country would view matters of adultery, alcholic indulgences, and career (and many other subjects! i don't have time to mention) from a very different angle to that of a man from a middle eastern culture. Eastern man is very complex!!! in my experience, thats if you are a western woman like myself. This is just an oppinion, but i did take the time to study the culture. (religion was another separate and important issue for me.) before i actually decided to leave my own, familiar world! Sorry! but you did ask! So anyway, i have to say that i feel an English man( whereas he might be happy to talk things over with you, when relations got a bit sticky! if u'll pardon the pun! And meet you halfway and make compromises. But i really get the feeling that, as a direct result of an Eastern man's cultural upbringing. I may be wrong! but having studied this... I'm of the oppinion any man in general, from a Middle Eastern culture, would never ever grovel for any women. And i apologise, if this is not what you wanted to hear. I wish you luck in building a positive 'self image' and regaining your own, very important 'self esteem.' If it helps...in my lifetime i have been 'to hell and back', where men are concerned. My family, studies and religion have all helped me to 'find myself' in some way. That and the old cliche 'time is a great healer' Good luck and God bless.

That's a very strange relation you have...How old are you both? This guy comes here, tells everyone about his girlfriend's past, says he's looking for a new girlfriend... And you're still with him? How can you accept that?

Check out my post on this forum dated June 7 under the topic "I need some cheering up." It is filled with excellent advice for me when I was going through a similar situation. Let me know what you think of it.

Gemini_Beth ~ Someone just told me something yesterday that I had forgotten. We teach people how to treat us. Just teach him in some way how you expect to be treated. I'm not a big advocate of playing games ... as fun as that may be to see him squirm. You're better than that. Take the high road as they say. Peace Posts: 332 | Registered: Mar 2005

Yes i agree that its nice when you can end a relationship and also keep things civilised. Especially when there are children involved. You are lucky you met a nice English man! I met only the bad ones, when i was there. And you know i also believe that RaniaMe is right, when she says that you shouldn't just accept it when a man treats you badly. And i would add to that. Its your self value thats important. Respect yourself and others tend to do the same. But sadly, in general terms women are brought up and encouraged to put everyone else first. To think of everybody first, putting themselves last. Society in general terms in the west i found teaches women to feel guilty. If they don't comply with this unwritten rule! Do you read at all? books or magazine articles? I wish i had more time to do this now. But am always working, unfortunately. I have an idea, i'm gonna recommend a really good book for you to read now.... It will make you think AND if you are feeling depressed. This book you will find very, very helpful. You know why? its written especially for women, by a woman ok. Tittle: 'Empowering Women' By Louise L Hay. I.S.B.N. 0-340-71292-9. Its paperback The authoress, has had her books published in 25 countries, in 33 different languages. So its gotto be good yeah! I know there's many similar books too. Hey! you should now go on a journey of self discovery!

Not to sound rude but i dont think thats for me . I know who i am and what i want outta life . And in relationships i play the more dominate role . And i really don't think men like that to much in women . Even though most say they don't mind . But deep down there caveman instinks come to play .It happens to the best of them .lol . I guess i was kinda wishing Mody was the one .I've ben with him for a year and a half now . I guess things get to regular , to comfortable , to boring . Oh hell , wheres the oreo's .Anyhow thanx for the input .

Beth, just look for a guy more your age, someone who is already done with that teenage stuff (sorry Mody not that I know you personally ) who has a stable job, the right attitude to be in a sincere relationship with you - with all the good and the bad. Simply a man you can build a future with. And don't look around on the internet for a man from abroad I am sure you will find a nice American guy (I married one myself ) in your area if you are interested in. And maybe you should rethink your goals what you want out of your life. Don't forget you need also to find a decent man who will be a good and caring stepfather to your son. Good luck!

Yes, and it's so easy. You just have to give, and take, and if you feel yoo don't take absolutely anything, then ask openly for it, and if you still don't get it...then run!!!
It's curious that when i expose this kind of sane and healthy love i amb very criticised and told as a non romantic person.
I think it's quite the contrary.
Loosing respect for yourself for the sake of a theoretical love of another person it's not loving, it's another thing, not quite sure about the word to describe it.

Perhaps its called 'lulling urself into a false sense of security' and placing all of ur hopes and dreams on a thoeretical fantasy.

greeting from Greece
Hi nelos...a doormat is a small carpet, put on the ground outside the front door to your house. U then use it to clean your shoes on it, before u come into the house...So here its used as a metaphor.
Sorry they mean here...women should not bow down to men and let men clean their shoes on them!!! In other words they should not allow men to use them badly or treat them impolitely. I hope i have explained it ok. So u can understand it.

"Accept him as he is and love him".
Yeah, do it, but... ¿¿¿¿expect no respect??? absolutely not! REAL love is not only giving, is also taking something similar to what you give.
I think the respect does not have relation with that what you report "REAL lone is not only giving, is also taking something similar to what you give."!!!
because "give-take" is part of a ..."game" that is named love BUT ..in that ..game if you want to be REAL and GOOD .."player" you will be supposed to FORGET word "take"!!!
in REAL LOVE YOU only GIVE!
IF thinks they thus come and you ..."take" its OK!
IF is not ....also OK!
the situation ..."give-take" it reminds more ...trade or work and not ...love!

firstly, thank you for the explanation. at my opinion, ...me at least when I love a woman ...I become big, rich, soft, tender and beautiful Persian carpet ...not for cleaning shoes, BUT in order to I embrace chosen Lady of my heart!
it is bad in love to be ...selfish! that does not mean it will be not supposed to have you ...dignity!

If you love him or want to have a successfull relationship with anyone try to read the following book
Relationship rescue by Dr. Phil Mcgraw.
It changed my life, saved my relationship! Even thought its easy to blame the other party you are only responsible for your own behaviour and its best to start looking for what you do that causes him to react in this way. Best of luck to you. Read this book and let me know XX

Be careful of reading a book to fix your problems -- my ex thought it would be really cool to pick me up and throw me on the floor. He couldn't understand why I left, and sent this book to me on Forgiveness. I told him to go to hell and I never looked back. Never been happier-- traveling, and started a business. Why is Beth so hellbent on teaching him a lesson, that's really immature. If a man doesn't want you move on ... have some pride instead of getting even. Be the bigger person
