CallingAllAngels Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I don't know if this happens a lot, but since she met you when she was so young perhaps she feels like she missed out on dating around. Sorry this happened to you. Link to comment
pumpkinmoon Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I think it might be the age thing. For her, the years between 18-23 she was still developing, mentally and emotionally. Whereas at 25-30 you were more stable and settled and more unlikey to go through changes if that makes any sense. 18 is pretty young to get into a serious relationship and she may feel that in the 5 years she has spent with you, she hasn't got to do all the things that she wanted and has missed out as she has said.

sfits Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 thanks for your kind comments Link to comment
riley123 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Hey, I'm sorry this happened to you. And it's not that uncommon given her age, if that makes you feel any better (I doubt it). Anyway, I thought this post might help...the OP does a good job mapping out the common traits. As you can see, you are not alone. Link to comment

lady00 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I know I went through a lot of changes between ages 18 and 23...that is the time when most people really start to grow up and start to feel like adults. But I suppose that at the end of the day, knowing that it may be normal won't make you feel any better about the situation. I'm sorry you are going through this. Good luck. Link to comment
girl68 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah it does. She never got to "date". She never got to flirt. She did miss out on much. She may or may not realize that you were the best thing out there for her. But it's entirely possible that she might find something more her pace. Think about guys... they want to 'sow their wild oats' (so the saying goes anyways) and so if they never got the opportunity to flirt, date, have sex in or out of relationships more often than not he'll have the urge at one time or another to go out and experience this. This is how your ex feels. Unfortunately that's the risk one takes dating girls or guys that are really young (late teens early 20's) Link to comment
