Chemda has a great point about Andrew not being very excited about anything in general. I know people similar to Andrew (a lot of people between the ages of 23-30 in particular), and they're always chasing the high of the experiences and feelings they had as a teenager. It's hard to "grow up" but that's basically what has to happen here in order for Andrew to be happy in any way. It's similar to saying "stop thinking so much." But that's exactly what he's doing. He's constantly analyzing. You'll need to work on yourself seriously for this to change, or take medication, or try to see if it happens organically with age.
Suggestion : take a two to three week vacation or break from your girlfriend. Think about how it feels when she's not around, and work on yourself and what you want. Be realistic. A list of pros and cons actually works during the break if you're able to step back. You may have to wait a few days for the initial withdrawal symptoms to go away, and then start reflecting. Sometimes couples take each other for granted and don't put enough work into making something good even better. You just drift apart. Breaks can be really useful, but you can't do it more than once or twice, especially if one person in the relationship IS sure of what they want. Eventually they'll get tired of the uncertainty. But a break can allow for reflection and sometimes it only makes you realize you miss the other person a lot, and that they're a great match for you. |

Thirteen,
You and Chemda make excellent points. I think when it comes down to it I think I need to learn how to enjoy, like, anything. And it's weird because I don't really look back on my childhood or high school or college very fondly. Everything has kind of been just whatever. Ceaseless ennui. But thanks for the nice words! I promise I'm cheerful in person. Andrew |

It's important that Andrew not do the good and right thing and break it off with his girlfriend. After all, the chances of him fucking a codependent therapist, (for FREE no less) are about nil.
On a more positive note, this is a shit existence. A shit existence in a terribly shitty world. If two people have to join forces, (albeit miserable and doomed) just to make it through each horrific day: so be it. Could be worse. Andrew could have kids and become BaJames. |

I have to admit I am shocked, yet not surprised to hear Andrew is still with the SAME chick be basically dismissed on MNIK so he could talk about his ex girlfriend. He didn't sound into her then & He still doesn't into her now. Seems very convenient (and normal, as in you are not the first or the last) to stay with someone you may not really be into because you are slightly depressed, unhappy, or even lazy (just speaking in general Andrew, sorry!). I agree with Thirteen, I have seen this frequently in my non-married 20-30 yo friends. I like to call it the mid-20 crisis cuz It sure as hell exists. Just like the post-30 crisis. It's normal but what you decide to do about your life and your choices going forward can make a big difference. Taking a break for reflection, maybe even a remote trip alone would help (just don't sleep 80% of the time lol). Great to hear you again Andrew!
