ORIGINAL: DMFParadox What finally got things right again? Make demands. Ask her to prove herself to you; after all, that's what she wants anyway, she wants to validate herself in her eyes. But the way to do it is subtle: first, it has to be possible for her to do, and not too insane; second, it has to be something that takes a while. "Get a job" is a good example, if she doesn't have one; "Get a better job" if she does. "Get into school," or anything that smacks of self-improvement. If you make that your condition, then two things might happen: one, she doesn't do it, and you have a complete justification for ignoring any emails that don't start with "I got a job." Or two, she definitely does do it... and at that point, no matter how different you are, it may be worth considering taking her back. Anyone willing to make a major life change for you, no matter how incompatable they may be at first, is a treasure not to be dismissed casually; and obviously she's on the path to better things, so you should ride along. If things still aren't working, make more demands and stick by your guns. WHAT??? Isn't that just playing with someones mind for the sake of it? Why would you want to control someones life if you have absolutely no interest in them?? If the OP did this (which i don't think he would but i may be way off!) she might do everything he asks and build her life around him and for what - just so he can have a little fun??!! OMG!!!! I honestly cannot believe you would suggest such a thing. I think that anyone willing to do this - just because they can - is irresponsible and are really just trying to massage their ego.
