Had a pretty steady relationship over email and phone for about 2 months. With plans of visiting each other, all pretty certain. She would call me the next evening, so as a stupid little puppy, waiting for his masters voice, I stayed home all nite, never to hear anything. I wrote her (her phone doesn't work half the time) and I got a note back claiming she was very sick with fever and had to call the paramedics. They gave her some injections, but she didn't tell me what for. So I wrote her: "What's wrong, I'm worried, etc." Nothing.... But I found her on another site, being there last nite till 23:30 and today again in the afternoon. Doesn't sound so sick to me. Again an e-mail asking for an explanation; after all, if you're sick with a fever, the last what you think of or can do, is looking for someone on the net. Her answer was not that satisfactory, to say the least.
Might be a long time till I trust a woman again. Cost me quite some money and time, which I could have wasted anytime and on anyone. The hell with "monogamy". Most women wouldn't recognize an honest guy if they tripped over them.
Please don't place all women in the same category as one who treated you poorly. We all have our histories, both good and bad where relationships are concerned......and we all have our tragic stories of broken hearts. Look at it more as an experience rather than a mistake and try to learn from it. Trust your own judgement.....perhaps there were little warning signs from the beginning that you chose to ignore for the sake of a possible true connection with her? As far as the money goes.....can you really put a dollar amount or limit on what you would invest in a relationship? Time is something you can never regain, and I am assuming this was a very recent turn of events judging from your obvious anger? Perhaps with a little time to cool down and rethink your current standing.....you will realize that she is only one bad apple in the barrel.
You know I always wonder what is so hard that men cant understand a woman I mean if you would just for a second sit down and talk to her and get to know all of her (And not think of whats under her cloths) like some men do you might start to understand them more then you do now.
is this person in question the 70 year old, the russian, or another acquaintance of urs which have havent had the wonderful opportunity to hear about yet?
Nope, this is a Russian who lives in Germany and conciders herself to be German, because of her heritage and last (family) German name. Although her family has lived in Russia for centuries... In the time of Catherina the Great, many Germans were "imported", but at the time of Stalin they were all send to far away places like Kamchatka.
"Cost me quite some money and time, which I could have wasted anytime and on anyone." your words says volumes. you appear a reasonable man so i say it straight... never ever is their guarantees in things like this.
"But I found her on another site, being there last nite till 23:30 and today again in the afternoon. Doesn't sound so sick to me."again your words... I know woman who are actually more active when sick or feeling "under the weather"and being on the internet is a distraction. At a dating site does not require keen wits or being healthy., In fact, boredom is probably the number one answer most are here.
I feel for you and somewhat envy you at the same time, to be that trusting and vunerable, that 2 months of online connection and you are so hurt and irate. you lucky man to still wear your heart on your sleeve, I do not think I could ever be like that again too many attacks on my heart from mean deceitful money hungry women. another point on this item even employers place new hires on 90 probationary periods before giving the keys to the janitors closet.. and despite what these others say relationships are work and the older we becoem the more work that is involved...
as for who understand women, I think that vow of "till death do us part" was explicitly for this problem..cause to totally understand one woman takes a lifetime and it really does not matter how many models before you have had.
suck it up and move on and goodluck in your search for a that LTR non-monogamous relationship, if its out there, it will be online
Don't know why men spend so much time trying to understand us, when the simple solution would be just to let us be "Women"...
and then they want to blame us because they have put so much effort into trying to understand us....just to find it was a lost cause!!
Why don't you just worry about being a "man" and let us worry about being a "woman"...we want the same things as you do...we just go about it differently...that's why we're called "women" and you are specified as "men"...
I'm afraid I don't get it. What is there about women that's so difficult to understand? Can anyone provide specific things that they're having trouble understanding? Maybe we can help shed some light on the subject if you all weren't so vague.
Thanks (I think?). You seem to be an astute student of life. But I don't chase women. It's more the other way round. Personally I don't understand it: I think I'm ugly; big ears, bald, what's there to love? Still I'm picky: she has to have a brain; I just can't see myself with a woman I have to explain everything to. Not a teacher. What does LTR mean? I do believe in monogamous relationships. Matter of fact: I don't think it's possible to sustain an other kind of relation in the long run. After 4 marriages I think I've got some "seniority" about this.
