Love - Success Coach For Men Women Don't Lie - Men Don't Listen
That’s
what all the other love doctors would miss in this situation – the
importance of CHALLENGE.
Doc Love's Books:
Hey Doc, I’ve
been in a relationship with Jill for eight months now. In the fourth
month of our relationship I cheated on her with my ex-girlfriend. I
haven’t talked to my ex-girlfriend since. I felt guilty about it the
minute I did it and told Jill that I was unfaithful with a girl a week
after we met when we weren’t committed yet (obviously it was a lie).
This has caused a lot of problems in our relationship. I continued to
feel guilty about what I did, and just a couple of days ago I told Jill
that it was actually my ex-girlfriend I was unfaithful with. She
promptly asked me to get out and said she doesn’t want to be with me
anymore.
I used to follow “The System” when I was in college and it was a great
help with women, but I got overconfident and forgot the basics. When I
opened your book yesterday, I realized how much I should have kept
studying it. Doc, do you think that my relationship with this gem – Jill
-- is over because of my mistake? Do you think that even if it works out
she’s probably going to want to get back at me to make sure things are
“equal?” What about the chances that she’ll cheat on me?
I know that Jill’s Interest Level was off the charts at the beginning.
She begged me to move in with her and talked about having my kids and
getting married. Can my blunder drive Jill’s Interest Level from the 90s
to 49%? Should I bother trying to make it work? If so, how can I do it?
I know I’ve hit you with a ton of questions, but I would greatly
appreciate any responses that you can give me.
Josh - who messed up big-time
Hi Josh, You cheated with your ex? What were you
thinking? You’ve got a good, loving girl, and what do you go and do? You
allow your ego to lead you into breaking your contract with this girl.
And even worse, you did it with an ex! A double no-no.
To you Psych majors, you have to ask yourself this question: why am I
playing with fire? Why am I doing something dangerous like this when I
have such a good deal? Your situation reminds me of when Hugh Grant
cheated on the delicious Liz Hurley. A year and a half after he
committed his peccadillo, it was over. It took a little longer for Liz
to get rid of Hugh than for Jill to dump you, but that mistake finally
killed it.
Now let me tell all you guys something. I’m against any kind of fooling
around when you’re going with somebody. But if you do happen to cheat,
do you actually believe it’s going to up your girlfriend’s Interest
Level? And it’s not just guys who tempt fate -- women can be prone to
the same thing. And then you blurt out, “Don’t take this personally,
honey, but I got together with my ex behind your back. Please forgive me
and love me more!” If you have to tell somebody about what you did, tell
everyone else in the world, all 6 billion of them, but just don’t tell
Jill, for Pete’s sake.
So, your little indiscretion caused problems for you, Josh? Well,
there’s the understatement of the year! Feeling guilty shows you have a
conscience, though and that you’re not completely numb. At least when
you told Jill what you did you left out the gory details. I’m glad – you
did something right.
Then she asked you to beat it. Well, what else would you expect? Reverse
the situation. How would you feel if Jill confessed infidelity to you?
What would you tell her to do if the shoe was on the other foot?
It goes without saying that you should have stayed with “The System,”
man. I’ve told you guys again and again that you have to study it every
night for 10 minutes before you go to sleep unless you’re married. But
Josh, you got all full of yourself and decided to skip the basics.
There’s your ego running amok again. Or like my cousin Brother Love down
in Watts says, “It’s the ugly devil raising his head!”
Again, you Psych majors, this stuff has to be memorized, and you can’t
just walk away from it when you feel like you’re on top of things. But
in your favor, you realized that you should have kept studying. Like my
cousin General Love says, “There’s still hope in America!”
Now, let’s get on to the ultimate question. The truth is that yes, your
relationship with Jill is probably kaput. But I’ll do my best to save
it.
Of course she’s going to want to equal the score between you. It’s human
nature, Josh. You’re going to have to take a beating every time there’s
an argument – over anything. Whenever there’s a disagreement over
something as small as which restaurant to go to you’re going to hear
about the terrible thing you did with your ex. Like my cousin Fast Eddie
Love says, “This girl’s going to give the term ‘nagging’ new
significance!”
