writes:Has it ever happened to you that in a relationship something in a moment you can pinpoint, makes you realize that you have seen the light and your feelings towards the other person change? I'll elaborate a little:in my last relationship, i was completely and madly in love with the guy until the day, while we were on a break, he said he wanted to get back togetehr, had sex, then said he wasn't so sure about that. In that moment, I realized it was all about the sex, n my feelings changed in that one moment.in my present relationship, my bf n i were talking about the future n he said he can't promise me anything because he doesn't know what the future holds, and put a lot of 'ifs' and 'buts' into our being married someday. I dunno...I think i realized that he knows this isn't going anywhere for him n can't tell me that. And I think my feelings for him have changed. I still do love him, but it's not the same anymore. Has anyone else experienced something like this? What would you do?

 I feel like you, you can hold to the relationship and help it evolving but he is not thinking about u longterm, I went for dinner with a good looking charming boy and told me he had friends to have sex with and that if I wanted to go out with him should go tobed with him that day(2nd date) I refused and felt like crying I never felt illusioned about him again not even now when he tries to get my interest back, another time I felt like drowning when my ex said we rather didn't exchange crhistmas presents as maybe we would drop but insited on having sex despite I told him I wanted to know him better be4 engaging sexual relationships, men talk to much sometimegood luck honey have a look around and go on have a try if u want but hold on your wills and u'll get it all sometimelove

I understand what you're saying,and I think you're right - it is like a domino effect...wow, thanks for helping me see that clearly, coz that makes a lot more sense. It's also a tricky situation, because I believe that he loves me, but knows he's not going to be with me in the future.
Thanks though, your insight was very helpful, Mel. xx

 Hmm Cd is correct (to a certain extent). It really depends on if it's a trivial thing this is over or HUGE life differences. And, I can pretty much bet it's not that he said just one thing you didn't like...it's been a couple of things. You may not have realized it until that one other thing was said. Make any sense?? It's sorta like a domino effect. But, you need to follow your gut instincts, if you're sensing he's not 100% devoted to you and your relationship..your probably right.
I do have an example to share with you about if one thing was said could it change your mind about a person. It changed my view about this guy..but I didn't let it stop our relationship. BUT, I wasn't dating him or anything when this was said ..okay here it goes:
He said to me that when men and women check out members of the opposite sex we are imagining them naked. I absolutely didn't agree with his thinking..but, knowing that's what he was thinking when a cute girl walked by..kinda made me stop and think.
Good Luck. Hope that was helpful.

Don't you think it could be that in a moment of complete clarity I saw things for what they really were instead of being illusioned by emotions and feelings? Is that possible?

 I think if one comment can change your mind so quickly then it's not a very strong relationship. Sorry.
