How do you convince your girlfriend that a "Psychic" should not decide a relationship?

You make what you believe…In this case she believed that you guys weren’t going to last…now she’s making it happen.

I’m not really sure how you’d go about convincing such a person about their illogical folly. If your girlfriend is someone who is susceptible to the silly words a psychic says, well that’s just one of her characteristics I guess. It’s telling that she would choose to value the words of someone she doesn’t know and who was paid money to tell her words, over the words of her romantic partner who has known her for two years. Maybe this is really a good sign in disguise…

Sounds to me like there is something wrong with your relationship although you don’t see the problem. If nothing was wrong on her end she would not listen to some stranger tell her how her relationship will end. If a psychic told me anything negative about my husband that I didn’t already believe, I wouldn’t buy it for a second…. that’s what happens when a relationship is legit. She was hiding some feelings, doubts, etc. from you before she ever saw the psychic.

If I were you, I’d consider it a blessing. Easy way to get out of a relationship with a woman who believes in hocus pocus.

From the information in the question it almost sounds like you haven’t talked as openly and honestly as you could. It’s also my assumption that people that believe in psychics would also believe they can shape the future, maybe there is something in the relationship that you two could improve that would change the future outcome.

On a different note if you think her choices bother you to a certain degree maybe it would be a good time to prove the psychic correct and drop her. Difficult maybe but may be less difficult than future events that may come up.

If you feel that way and she does not.
She is not right for you.

Psychics are not good for the physici. As your example shows.
By going, all you did was allow someone to manipulate you both and possibly dammage a good thing.

The future is what you both make of it.

Take her on a hike to someplace where you can get a great view of the sunset.

Tell her you have been really worried, because she has been acting differently since the psychic told her we are only going to be good lovers and that is pretty good, huh

Ask her if she really believes the psychic can see deeper into the relationship, or whether we two, after two years, can see deeper into the relationship.

Are we going to trust our two years together and our own judgement, or are we going to trust somebody who hasn’t the foggiest clue what is really going on between us and is making everything up?

If she still goes with the psychic, you haven’t got a chance. She will always remember what the psychic said and it will act like a sliver in her finger.

Let’s hope reality will prevail.

I was going to say. “Run! You’re doomed!” until I read @PerryDolia ‘s reasonable advice. Give her one more chance. Then run. Does she worry about horoscopes too?

And be sure the doubt is actually there and that you’re not seeing a doubt where there isn’t one.

WOW!!!
All Great advice and all Great points to ponder! I Really thank you for it! The collective ROCKS!
Everyone each one of you have been a big help! THANK YOU! and if you have anything else I will be glad to read it! :o)))))

Go to the psychic and pay her to revise her reading.

that’s what you get for dating a crazy, dude… you reap what you sow my friend.

Tell her she is batshit crazy and she needs to wake up to reality. If she doesn’t listen, it might be time to move on.

What happens if you get married and some other quack tells her that if you have kids it will ruin your marriage/life and she starts believing that too? Or if she’s told that if she stays married that she’ll never be happy?

Is she worth the chance that a psychic could ruin your life together with a few words? If she is then you just gotta deal with it.

Personally, I could never be with someone that isn’t grounded in reality.

Everyone has doubts but if they are your own then you can get over them. If they are someone else’s then what the hell do you do?

Also, tell her to read this question.

Debunk psychics.

I would explain her why psychics are frauds.
The best they can do is cold reading (which anyone can learn easyly).

If you can’t convince her, maybe you should leave her…

From someone on both sides of the proverbial aisle on this…..

I have had readings in my life where I was told the same about a relationship and never paid attention. I did what I wanted to do. The idea of having a psychic tell you how a relationship will go is ridiculous. Why? Because any good psychic (not a fly by night person) will tell you, “This is what I see, but you ultimately can CHOOSE what you want, because only YOU have the power to carve your future…the future is not set in stone.” How do I know this? Because I have have studied spirituality for most of my life. No one knows…what the future holds because it is a hologram controlled only by YOU. A reading can give you possibilities and where things MAY end up, not the done deal…well, not always, anyway. And you need to go to someone who is reputable, not Madame Wanda who moonlights at the Misty Waters Cantina.

Once, I had an astrologer look at my chart and the person I was dating at the time. “Wow…this man is your SOULMATE…look his moon is aspecting your Venus and your moon is in his sun….” Blah.Blah.Blah. I knew that from an astrological standpoint (because I have studied it, too) that it looked good on paper. Well, that so-called “soulmate” betrayed me a level that was fairly heinous. It took me years to recover from that heartbreak. Even good stars do not make a good relationship because there is the sticky wicket called “karma” and that’s an entire essay in and of itself.

I say this to you to tell you this…if she really, really, really wants to make it work, she won’t care what a psychic, or a reader or a horse whisperer or the Oracle at Delphi or the man in the moon tells her…she will follow what SHE wants to do.

So, be careful that she is not using the psychic to find a way out to just leave you…that’s what I am getting at. You seem happy with the way things are. Is she also? Or was she already questioning the relationship? Be really honest with yourself.

You guys need to sit down and talk…..once again, a reading does NOT set the future in stone.

I wish you all good things.

Just curious. It’s been almost a year since your original post. If you are still online and read this, are the 2 of you still together?
