How do you convince someone that they need to talk to a therapist or counselor?

Sorry to hear nate, but after reading what you opened this thread with, I'm not surprised. At least the ex had the conscience to reach out to you, since she couldn't bother to give you the respect to tell you herself. Frankly, it sounds like she was keeping you as an escape to get out to Australia, and would probably have dropped you at the end of the trip. Like you said, hopefully the ticket is refundable.

Unfortunately situations like this teach you things you can't really learn any other way. Sorry you had to go through it. But don't be too hard on yourself. If you really want to be in a relationshiop with someone, you have to trust them (and visa versa). This of course opens you up to being hurt when someone violates that trust. Just reflect back on some of the warning signs you think may have been there, and use that infomation to become wiser.

sorry im a bit late to this thread... i haven't been in D&R in a while...
i dunno where you are in Sydney exactly, but you are young. live it up!!! there are smoking girls that are a plenty in Sydney and think the yankee accents are cute... take the ferry from the Quay down to Manly or go to Bondai beach and chill out... you shouldn't be worrying about a girl 10k miles away who didn't have any respect for you, let alone for herself... if she doesn't have the courage to admit that she has a problem and need help, it isn't your job to have to convince her... cut the cord and live it up...
like i said in your first thread about Oz, if you ever need suggestions/recommendations on where to go, give me a shout... my wife is from oz and we have plenty of friends over there...
oh yea, and if you know you aren't the only one that was plowing her... do yourself a favor and get yourself tested... better to be safe than sorry...

I'm sorry and I'm not so sorry... Sorry that you had to go through all that junk but not sorry that you're in Sydney. Get off the damn internet and get out there and have fun, man! This is the best time of your life, go and enjoy it!

She doesn't have problems homie. She was feeling like a scum knuckle for cheating so she drank because you gave her attention. It's all about attention with those types. As soon as you ignore it they move on to the next one.
I'm glad you found out. You're young and you should be living it up.

I'm having a good time, I got a job at some community bowling club as a bartender haha. Going to go apply to starcity the big casino tomorrow maybe.
I'm more or less going to treat this as a "feet in the water" type trip, now I'm qualified for a bartending or gambling job, so the next time I come, I can get a job prior to arrival. Next time I come back, hell, I may have my degree and might decide to get my actual career going out here, who knows.
Thanks, man! I will shoot you a PM if I have any questions

haha, the breakup went fine. I was able to keep my cool, so she's returning my shit intact.
And nah, she's not coming out here, we haven't spoken since I broke up with her, which was over 3 weeks ago or something like that. I have no reason to talk to her.

So.. She returned my TV, thank god. But I emailed her today to ask if she could drop off my sweatshirt and the webcam my goddamn mother bought her so she could skype with me... and she started hassling me.
AND THEN told me she was going to be in Sydney in 9 fucking days. SHE IS INSANE.
She said "If you don't want to talk to me, I'll understand"
So I replied "I don't. Have a good time. Bye."
I told her to cancel her airline ticket nearly a month ago. Hopefully she doesn't expect the hotel I booked for us to still be waiting for her. But I would LOL if that were the case.
Just to make sure my point was made, here are a series of emails between
us.
Me: Hey could you bring back my green northface and that webcam to my house sometime within the next week.
Thanks
Her "Really?"
Me "Really."
Her "I'll be in Sydney in 9 days if you have a problem with me then, please tell me."
Me "I'm not hanging out with you here. That's final."
Her Basically a bunch of shit like ...really? Don't be a fuck bag Nate"
So many messages from me to make clear I didn't want her here"
Me "I do not know why you are coming out here, but do not try to contact me when you get here. "
"I couldn't possibly be any more clear. I told you you should cancel your ticket, it was obvious then that I had no intentions of spending time with you out here.
I have no responsibility towards you if you decide to come out here on your own. "
"This is not a joke. Do not contact me, we are entirely through. I told you not to come, this is your decision."
And then she was like "ok bye"
and hours later messaged me again (AFTER I HAD TOLD HER TO JUST KEEP THE SHIT BECAUSE I NO LONGER CARE)
"You probably should be less of a dick if you really want your stuff back. Just an idea..."
HOW DID I DATE SOMEONE SO INSANE?

Stop responding. Don't even read the e-mails, just delete them. Better yet, add her e-mail address to your spam filter so you aren't tempted to read/respond to them.

Write off the sweatshirt and the webcam, delete her from your contacts, and forget it. The drama she'll put you through over $100 worth of stuff is not worth it. Write it off on your taxes as a donation to the "crazy girl fund".

geez, sounds like a younger version of my crazy ex ![Loco](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/loco.gif)
Hopefully she has no way to find you once she gets there, if she does, I would advise you to not be there...

Yeah, I haven't responded to her since. She apparently couldn't get a refund for her ticket when I told her to try and do so. And I'm assuming, since she's such an idiot, that she is only coming because she would feel stupid not doing so, considering she was bragging to everyone about coming out here.
After all those emails in which I made clear I never want to talk to her again, she still tried to get the upper hand.
"AND by the way, I'm not expecting you to speak or want to speak to me when I get there. Did I ask you to? Have I been harassing you for the past month to talk to me? eh no, so please stop acting like I need you. I simply said that I will be in the same city as you for 2 weeks, If you have a problem or would like to speak to me, then clearly that would be the best time. This to me doesn't seem like I'm begging you, so stop with the pompous attitude. I'm not expecting anything from you and I'm making it as clear as possible right now.
Take care of yourself Nate. "
I didn't bother responding to that shit.
