year and a half started this new friendship with a girl that finds him attractive. at first i thought it was okay, but as time is progressing, i feel like my boundaries are being crossed, invites her to play in charity events and not me. i have talked to him about it calmly and upset, but he refuses to end the friendship. i'm tired of the bickering over the same issue. is it time to end it? >> he doesn't include her. it is one thing to have, you know, a friend, but it is another thing not to even try to include your partner. if i were her, i would start to get less attracted to the guy for the fact that he's making me play second fiddle in my own relationship. >> kind of cruel, to take your friend but leave you at home. that's cruel. >> and any one of these situations there is an obvious truth, which is she deserves more. there is also a slightly ugly truth if you want to explore it is that for her to ask the question, why is it right now he's choosing to spend his time with someone else. is there something that i'm not doing or not bringing when we go out? is there an energy i don't have? we have to -- i know, i know. >> or the guy is a jerk. >> it could be the guy is a

jerk. but the two aren't mutually exclusive. sometimes the truth is in the middle. he's being disrespectful, but i have this view in any relationship, if i can ask the question is there more i can to contribute, even if this guy is wrong, i bring more to the next guy the next time. >> should she break up with him, do you think? >> i think she needs to put more distance between them. she's should start going out with her friends. have a good time. >> her male friends. >> her male friends. >> i'm not getting into game playing, but least show you're out there having fun yourself. >> if someone started doing that to me -- >> in a minute. >> have more respect for yourself, honey. >> we have someone on the phone. and her name is katrina. hi, katrina. >> hi, guys. hi, matthew. i was dating an incredibly romantic guy. he introduced me to all his friends and family, and basically said i was the one. and then suddenly he sent me a text, he was a little scared,
2:36 am
needed some space, and told me how much he really liked me, just needed some time. so i was really calm, just replied okay. didn't want to scare him any more. and it's been a week and i haven't heard anything from him. and i don't know what to do because -- >> he sent you a text message? >> excuse me? >> he sent you a text message, did you say? >> yes. >> what did he say in the text message? >> he said i really like you, and it is a little scary, i need some space to figure out -- >> i would like to contest the idea that this is a romantic man or a gentleman. he didn't bother to call you. firstly, this is a man who said he's scared. for every ten guys that say they're scared and that's a reason they're backing away, one of them is telling the truth. even in that situation you are to bear in mind, do i want a guy with that much emotional baggage anyway? the other nine is the best
2:37 am
excuse in the world. it allows know walk away and get sympathy from you at the same time. it is magical. like a jedi mind trick that us guys play on you women is to say, i'm scared. i don't buy it. secondly, this guy, he's not a gentleman for you. and if i were you, i would be turned off. what this guy is showing you is how he reacts to discomfort. when he's not sure about something, when he's feeling uncomfortable, he took the selfish route of texting you, which is easy for him and not easy for you. is that someone you want in a relationship who has that kind of action in their behavior? i would say no. i would say he's given you ample time now to go and meet someone else and it is high time you start. >> unfortunately, matthew's taken. >> i know. thank you. >> you know what, this might help. if you settle for what you got, you deserve what you get. >> that's right. >> you got the power to change your life. is that good, matthew? >> that's lovely. >> it is pithy.
