i am new to this place and in fact this is my first post. i would like t hear your view below and pls feel free to comment.
I had steady gf A for 2.5 years. Recently i met this gal N. We went out a few times. We talked and shared views on relationship. N knows that i am attached. Thru the conversation, N noted that i wanted a perfect gf with all the criteria tha i mentioned to her.
N and myself went out a few more times. N started to behave exactly wat a perfect gf that i am looking for. In no time, i had started to like her. But however i am still with A. At that time, A notice that i had changed in my style and she suspected. But A action annoyed me alot and we started to quarrel. i was feedup with him and called for a stop to our relationship. We separeted. Not long after, i officially come together with N. Later i discovered that N was a liar. She wanted money and play with my feelings. I was sad. But there is really nothing that i can do. So for one month, i am single. Did not go back to A or started another relationship. Coz i know that it will not be fair.
A started to call me. She approached my friends, my brother and my parents. She even arrange for a counselling session for us. I attended. From all her action, i told myself stop fooling around. She is a nice gal and i should treat her better. So i came back to her. But when we are together for two weeks, she wanted to break up. She told me that she cannot forget what i had done on her. To leave her for another woman. A keeps on saying if N is not a liar, she will lost this relationship forever. I understand that. But i was confussed. Why during then she never think of such a issues? If she cannot forgive, why still asking me to come back to her and do so many things? Can you pls advice.t hanks

Too much mental equation, causing you to make poor judgements and decisions for your love and relationship.
Regarding the dream-girl, you ought to know better that a perfect girl lies in the eyes of the beholder, and not in an idealogy state.
You can probably only find the prefect relationship from the inperfect partners. It's great to have personal standard and in fact, I would encourage you to have one; however, in reality, we will usually fall back a little on our ideal standard regardless of how strict we are with ourselves.
Cupid's arrows have no known defense and even Zeus is not spared from the God of Love. How the soul and the mind sees things, are way two different sources. If this experience cannot allow you to learn this lesson, you could be 'losing' more than you ought to.
Generally what happens to A is similar; she probably still loves you, however the bitterness temporary overcome her and cause her to rake the past and seal doom into the relationship. The conflicts between the heart and mind, with one side saying 'I love him' and the other saying 'He's a jerk.'
P.S: You made your choice, you lived with them. What you learn from your mistake will benefit your future relationship for what's not yours, will never be. Express love through the heart, not the mind: You can't tell yourself to treat her better just because you 'think' she is a nice girl - you will come to realise in the future that it wouldn't work this way.

Cheers
