Hey Doc,
Here’s the situation. A few months back I met Rosalee. She’d just gotten out of a 12-year marriage and had trust issues with men. She had a male best friend who lived with her, and she claimed it was strictly platonic. This guy works on offshore rigs here in Louisiana and is gone a good deal of the time.
At first the relationship was hard. Rosalee would never go on dates with me or even give me the time of day. The most I got were a few text messages and phone calls here and there. During this time, my father passed away and the only person there for me was Rosalee. While she had extreme trust issues, she told me that she liked me and made a trip out to my job just to see me. We spent some time together and got romantic. But she would always hide the fact that we were dating from the world. I noticed that when her platonic roommate would call her that she would dart off to another room or go outside to talk to him.
In any event, we carried on with our relationship until her roommate came back onshore. Everything halted for us and she began to go everywhere with him. She blew off our planned weekend together so she could vacation with him. She knew I was upset, and she called me to talk about it, but she went anyway.
When she returned, Rosalee seemed attached to me and wanted to be around me more often, just not in front of her roommate. It turned out that the roommate told her that he loved her more than just as a friend and wanted to be her boyfriend. She told me that this made her uncomfortable, but she still seemed to like him more than me. Eventually he went back offshore and she wanted to spend more time with me.
Rosalee always tells me that I am the one, her soul mate, and that we are meant to be together forever. She told me she was over her commitment issues and wanted us to be together, but she still hides our relationship from her friends and told her platonic roommate that I was only a friend as well.
Recently Rosalee said a family member broke her heart and that she felt numb, but she told me she loved me and that we were still an item. But she has not texted me or returned any of my text messages. I’m at a point where I don’t know if I want to be with this girl or not or if she’s worth the time wasted.
What should I do, and how should I go about doing it? The last time we talked Rosalee and I were in a relationship, but I can’t figure her out. Please help me.
