    Hi, im new to this and wish I wasnt having to write this but am so tired of carrying around whats like a weight and need some advice. Im with my partner for nine years about 5 years ago I went travelling for a year and we said we try and stay together however while i was away he started seeing someone else I found out and we split up when I returned we got back in touch and said we give it another go and we both worked really hard at it and things improved and I felt like we were really getting stronger and then about 3years ago I went on girly holiday with my friends and one night for the sheer fun of it we went to see a well known fortune teller in the town one of my friends is all into that and the rest said we'd go along for the term. Anyhow I was only there for about a minutes but taking it too seriously and she comes out and says that the man im with now is not the man for me and that i must keep an eye on him in the year 2013 and that i could stay with him for my life if i choose but he wouldnt make me that happy. Oh my god !!! I never believed in fortune telers but I just cannot forget what she told me, and now this worry that things are going to go wrong in a few years is really weighting me down im so worried because we are both really happy but always at the back of my mind is this. And lately I even started to have vivid dreams of him leaving me, cheating on me and the next day im just so drained. how can i let go, i tried telling myself that i cant belive what she says but i feel like i do believe it, why - i dont know. ive never told anyone what she said. but need others opinions on how to handle this better, I can imagine what id be like in 2012 and 2013 , terrifed, worried jealous - i dont want to turn into that person. ?? oh help

    Fortune tellers and the like take hints from you and prey on your expectations. Forget about it (now sure how to do that though).

    Relax OP. No one out there can really tell the future, if they could then there would be many many rich phsycics out there.

    Most important OP is that you clearly dont feel terribly secure in the realationship if you let something like this shake you so badly, your dreams are telling you this. I think you have to work on that aspect of your realationship, or else think hard about if thats the person you want to be with.

    Your dreams are easy to explain; the flat LIES that the fortune teller has told you are preying on your mind - maybe that and the fact that when you were on a "break" he was with someone else - these thing combine and you have intense dreams about said subject.

    Personally I'd put as much stock in what a fortune teller told me as I would in the starsigns in newspapers.. none what so ever. Do you really think this person could honestly see the future? would they not be a bit richer knowing what was yet to come? theyre a bunch of charlatans. Don't let something a spastic like that told you, ruin what on the face of it seems to be a happy relationship.

    Many times peoples ungrounded fears ruin a good thing - don't let it happen to you.

    I went to a 'renouned' fortuneteller a few years back with a friend who was desperate to go to see her. She told me that I would have two boys, both of whom would be really sporty, that I would marry a man I already knew, etc etc. I did marry a man I already knew ( was going out with him at the time) but had two girls. But if I DID have boys I would have thought she was brilliant. And she wasn't. It was rubbish. Are you going to let what I believe is complete rubbish affect your future? What she said is preying on doubts you already had, work on the doubts- not the prediction!

    an ex of mine went to a fortune teller in her early 20's and was told she would never have kids. Horrible thing to tell any girl and over time it mushroomed in her head until she was convinced it was true.

    In the end no matter how much reassurance I gave her it started affecting our relationship resulting in her pushing and pushing for an early marraige, her logic being if we then couldn't have kids we could at least adopt.

    In the end the whole thing just put us under too much pressure and we broke up. So in a way it was a self fufilling prophecy.

    Fortune tellers apart from being a total waste of money can also be nasty as hell. It's no skin off their nose to tell you a pack of lies, but it can cause untold damage. As I said umpteen times to my ex, if someone in the pub were to say the same to you you'd tell them where to go.

    Why should someone with a crystal ball and a cheesy shawl be given anymore creedence?

    These people are charlatans and con artists.

    There is a reason Irish pchysics live have "for entertainment purposes only" plastered all over their literature.

    Cop on and stop taking your relationship advice from these idiots.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 726 ✭✭✭Mr. Frost


    People should stay away from these sideshows. Only you know what's best for you, not some 'psychic'. Listen to your gut, never wrong! ;)

    Although I believe people can tell somethings, I don't think these are the people ripping others off and giving them rubbish 'advice'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 208 ✭✭Poloman


    Ok I'm going to be blunt here.

    You are the one who went travelling so you broke the relationship to begin with. He did no harm in seeing another girl as you made the choice to be away from him. You are lucky to get back with him. From a mans perspective its hard to think what you would be up to on your travels.

    You actually paid to hear your fortune told? You are actually believeing this? Please dont listen to some half wit making you cross their hand with some silver....

    I'm really sorry but if my missus actually had your thoughts about fortune tellers I would run a mile.

    Actually how would you feel if your boyf broke up with you because some fella on the street told him that pears make great fruits and scorn the number 11 on the turn of the tide on 2011? Its rubbish

    My girlfriend's sister went to a fortune teller, told her she'd have two kids and marry a wonderful guy. Two years later she got a rare form of cancer and died quite suddenly, without either marrying or having children.

    Fortune tellers are lying con artists of the lowest sort. Don't put a bit of faith in what they say.

    OP, I once went to a fortune teller who was very freakishly insightful to my life at the time. She made some future predictions. Some of these came true and some didn't. The ones that came true were those where I made decisions based on what she said, the ones that didn't were where I chose differently.

    Fortune tellers can never be correct about the future because only you are in control of your destiny. You as a human being have freedom of will and choice. If she tells you something is going to happen down the line but you decide instead now to walk out in from of a bus then you are not automatically going to cheat death.

    All fortune tellers are fake. They use cold reading to feed you back things that seem to make them appear "psycic".

    Trust me. Its ALL bull****, she probably picked up on something while mentioning love from your body language that made her say it ;)

    NOONE can predicet the future. Do not listen too a single word of the claptrap you were told. You are exactly the sort of victim that these assholes look for. When you left her room, she pocketed your money and thought to herself "Sukka...hahaha!"

    Its all nonsense. YOu cannot talk to the dead, you cannot predict the future and nobosy knows what you are feeling deep inside except you. Dont let her invade your mind. Youre being unfair to you and causing yourself distress that shouldnt be there. Sort your relationship out with him and in your own head.

    Dont fall for the quackery and lies. I promise you that its all nonsense. Its just catching onto something thats already there in your mind. If it were a true power, then we could have all avoided situations that tore us asunder.

    about 3years ago I went on girly holiday with my friends and one night for the sheer fun of it we went to see a well known fortune teller in the town one of my friends is all into that and the rest said we'd go along for the term. Anyhow I was only there for about a minutes but taking it too seriously and she comes out and says that the man im with now is not the man for me and that i must keep an eye on him in the year 2013 and that i could stay with him for my life if i choose but he wouldnt make me that happy.



    Ask yourself why the "fortune teller" isn't busy making millions on the stock market and willing the euro millions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,752 ✭✭✭markesmith


    I used to go out with a girl who went to fortune tellers, "as a bit of fun". Apparently it's quite a popular pasttime among people who lack fundamental intelligence.

    First of all, punctuation is your friend.

    I was given a reading with a psychic as a birthday present. Among the things she told me were:

    My baby will be fine (I'm not pregnant and don't have kids)
    There was a man whose name began with J wanting to say him (I know nobody who has died with a first name of J)
    A younger brother who'd died wanted to say hi (I'm the youngest, and there was no miscarriages or anything after me)
    I was seriously hurt in the past by a man I loved and was in a relationship with (not true at all).

    And so on. They say broad, general things that could apply to anyone. They watch your facial expressions and body language to see what you respond to. Ignore it, it's rubbish.
