I am in my 30's...I dated this women when we were young teenagers, we shared so many 1st's together, yes, everything, we went through so many tough things together.
After 5 years, I was young, and not ready to get married. She also did not approve of my "hobby" despite making 2x as much as her father. We broke up and moved on. She became a lawyer, I became a pro gambler. Luckily I was smart enough to buy some real estate. I have money now, but still use it to invest, gamble.
"It would not last" "It's gambling" etc... in any case years after we broke up we still kept in touch, but we never talked about each others love life, we just don't ask.
We talk almost every week. We can't be together, but we cannot be friends. It's just too hard to see each other with someone else. Anytime thou not related to relationships we are there for each other. It is really a weird "friendship/loveship"
The ball has always been in her court. She broke up with me. She loves me, but not as much as I love her. Her parents are really conservative and beat it in her head a husband has to be a provider, not just someone you love.
For me, it's only about Love.
So last night her boyfriend of 3 years proposed. She said yes. He works at a bank as a manager and makes a good salary, but a lot less than me, especially after taxes.
So I am crushed, I always thought we could eventually get back together. I just can't work at an office to please her conscience (or her parents).
I now have to seriously face the fact I will marry someone i will never love as much as her. It really hurts.
Tonight it's a bottle of scotch (single malt) and some chips. Maybe pizza.
I am wondering now if I made a mistake. If I should sacrifice my happiness just to be with her.
What do you think OOT?
Emo much? So you really think that your one and only true love just happened to be in the same geographical area as you when you went to high school, really???? Do you realize how statistically unlikely that is? There are billions of people in the world and it is highly improbable that you would meet your true love in a tiny subsection of the population.
Grow up and do not be so naive. Nutsinho, you should have gotten over her long ago, especially when she began ****ing other guys and had been dating someone steadily for 3 years. Your naivety at your age is shocking. To think that you could not love someone else as much as you love this person is very immature, and I feel like you are acting like a teenager. You have not met everyone, nor dated everyone in the world, you have not interacted with a significant part of the human population.
Good luck in the future Nutsinho, there are plenty of fish in the sea.
