Raargant Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Just remember this: As a guy, you have no expiration date in terms of age. And even if you did, at early 20's, you have plenty of time. Just make sure you work hard (and just as importantly, work smart), and things will naturally work out in time. Really do wish you the best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raargant Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm not sure the risk of PTSD is necessarily a good idea, but of course, it is your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinicky Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Life 1 Me 0 So ends another chapter in my life. Just when you think things can't get any better....they crash right in front of you. Absolutely broke, no job, back w/ parents.....and dunno if she's pregnant or not. Can't live with her because she feels she is betraying her children's wishes and destroying her relationship w/ them by having one w/ me. Dude, I'm sorry to hear that. Does that mean that your engagement, and your relationship to boot, are done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrothum Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 She won't say one way or another. I know this isn't what she wanted. She said for now, our engagement is broken. I lost control and said some pretty mean things to her. But by rights, she should have expected it. This is the 5th time she's done this to me. Ask me to leave, then beg and promise and commit, asking me to come back. Over and over. Each time, I did it and trusted her, that she could deal with it all. When it's just me and her everything was great. But she lets herself get over-run with her life and her own mess. There's some saying like "If you aren't happy yourself, you can't be happy with another." I guess that is just what it boils down to. I did all I could and I loved her like no one could love another person. She did the same, in respect to the truth....just can't learn to handle it all.

Kinicky Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I can relate to that. And I can understand where you both are coming from. My advice, which may not always be sound, is to give some space. She's going through a very difficult time right now. If she IS pregnant, that is some heavy, heavy stress. On top of that, she has hormones going wack, and that makes women CRAZY. It sounds like she already has children, who are having difficulties with you entering the picture as mommy's husband - which is understandable, and a common thing for young children to struggle with. That is even MORE stress. And then add a wedding on top of that? She has somehow managed to take what most women believe to be some of the most stressful events in a woman's life, and stacked them up like waffles she is being forced to eat. If there is ANYTHING she can remove from that stack, she will. And from the looks of it, the only thing she has any control over is your engagement. Guess what catches the brunt? So my advice - let the engagement stay broken, for now. Love her, be strong for her, and be there when she needs you. And when she needs space - give that to her. You have a different role now. You are now protector, nurturer, and comforter. Even when she pushes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
