That's on you then bruh. No one can impose themselves into your life like that, unless you weren't speaking up and letting her know that she couldn't. I know plenty of men that have girls try that with them, and they shut it down quick. You didn't, so this is on you. But since she's your gf now, just accept that this is what it is...
Ultimately you're right on the bolded.
But, speaking from personal experience, if a woman is not a liar or a hoe or any of the other negative things we tend to think of when we think of (typically) young women, then we tend to form a soft spot for them. Good girls have a way of getting in your heart, as they should.
At some point, "wanting them to be happy" crosses over into that "sacrificing for a relationship" shyt you talked about. And I'm not speaking on "relationship relationship". As you said, even friendships require sacrifices, right? So....
After 3 months of spending time with your "friend" who isn't a liar, isn't ugly, and you occasionally have sex with... you're kinda by default in a relationship. Because she's decided at some point that your actions can / will affect her happiness, even if you didn't consent to it. And remember you have a soft spot for her now, so you (we) acquiesce so as not to hurt a woman we mostly thought of as a friend with benefits. Keep in mind, we genuinely care about this woman, but had no intention of being locked down.... buuuut...
...Then the "friendly obligations" become "relationship responsibilities". It doesn't matter if you told her "no" 11 times over the course of your "friendship", she's gonna take that one "yes" and ride that shyt till she gets what she wants. And
then we have to make the decision... "
Do I have to be an a$$hole and break my "friend's" heart and lose the friendship? I genuinely like this person and it's not really that bad... I guess I'll just ride it out and see where it goes."
And bam, we're in a relationship.
You
know that women know how to insidiously insert themselves into the life of a man if they're interested in him.
I, and other brehs, have found myself in many "relationships" just by choosing not to lose a "friend".
fukk.
