Question - (19 February 2016) 5 Answers - (Newest, 20 February 2016)
A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Why does my lover push and pull? I am actually quite fed up with it. After 5 years, I don't want to be ignored and sent minimal three word texts. Have told him as much. I would much rather be told if he needed his space, didn't want to message. Not dealing with this BS push and pull behavior. If he wants to stay away, then he should just stay away. I don't appreciate such games and surely at 40, this is not needed.

I am just exhausted with this behavior- and always wondering what's going on. Should I just walk now and stop contact?

olderthandirt agony auntYou are correct @ 40 pushing or pulling on things is too much effort. Why waste time and energy pushing or pulling on anything just relax life is short pushing on stuff is hard work then pulling on it is way over the line. Ya'll going to wear yourselves out before you turn 50 so Stop!

Honeypie agony auntHe can't "play" the push/pull if you don't play along.

My guess is.. the guy is married? So you are NOT the top priority.

You make this ALL his decision, why?

If you are sick of it, CUT the cord! Why is it up to HIM alone to decide that this doesn't work for you any more?

Make a choice. Either suck it up or make it stop.
