Why is it so hard for a man to just accept a female for who she is.
I spent 2 or so months talkin to a bloke from this site, we met after he traveled over 4000k's to meet me.

We got along fantastically in the first 3 months. He only told me once after about a month and a half, that he loved me. I was shocked to hear it from ANY man without some form of question to prompt an answer.

What I don't understand is why the fark, they say they accept you then want to change you to suit them... I am a very strong single mum and I have ways to do things, as I always have. He wants to come along and change things back to the 1500's instead of livin in the 21st century!

He fell in love with me.... Then as I was told, "Fell out of love with me" ... Yet he still expected me to stick around... Keepin me farkin danglin like a a gutted and torn 16 year old. He seemed to get enjoyment from not ending us but still havin me waitin for him.

I ended it cause he was hurtin me soo much... I couldn't function properly... I found out a day after we broke up that he was on here 3 weeks before hand. I have a photo of the dates off of his profile...

I always thought if you loved someone, you didn't need a bit on the side, or you went onto single DATING sites, or IGNORED the one you CLAIM to have LOVED.... It got to the point of 3-4 hours a week ONLY!!

So glad it's over!! I am healin up just good now! I just couldn't handle the SELFISHNESS from him anymore...

After 14 years I thought I was ready for a REAL relationship.... Obvoiusly, he wasn't! He can play with his own heart now... All he likes.
peace

At least you found out before either of you relocated. That doesn't help how you're feeling now I know.

Personally the second he said he'd fallen out of love with me I'd have stopped contact, but then I'm stubborn and proud.

I hope the next guy you meet treats you how you deserve to be treated :)

Thanks NaB... I did stop contact with him as soon as I heard him say that.. I am gettin over it but for him to continue to leave me hangin... THAT is just wrong

I sure as hell wouldn't do that to anyone.

Amazing how selfish men / BOYS can be. I am head strong person but I WILL NOT tollerate crap like that ... frustrated

i think its healthy to just be ourselves, what others do, they do and we can only watch with interest.
I love you is a load of crap, if someone can't take responsibility for being themselves and harbor expectations then your better off on your own and just move on hatpin, anyway welcome back...

Thanks Rob... doh Good to be back... After another BAD experience. There is a LOT more to this, as there is in any break up...

It's very hard to talk through something when they just SHUT DOWN and don't communicate at all.

Ahh well. Helloooooooooo CS!!!heart beating hug

Yeah confused Makes ya wonder huh Nature..

I just don't get why they can't say something... Ya know... "I'm havin a few problems with US".... That'd be a bloody good start...

I would notice that he would STOP doin things. I used to get a cuppa in the mornings.. Then it stopped!! WTF for? I don't know.

The intimacy just stopped... WTF for.. I don't know.

All kinds of affection just stopped... WTF for?

No matter how many times I asked... He just fobbed me off. Ignored me, changed the subject. Oh, He LOVED to play "DEAF".. many times. Yet I caught him out all the time. Especially when his phone rang and he JUMPED UP and raced to it. I didn't even hear it and I have MOTHER HEARING!!! I saw all of this EVENTUALLY, but he just shut down.

So much for the good, bad and the ugly days... He saw all 3 then he walked out on me. Maybe he got caught too many times and knew he couldn't actually get away with it anymore.

I don't know. He never talked about it... "Expected TOO MUCH OF ME"..he even had the STUPID notion to say "I was LAZY"!!! Hmm Single mum of 14 years, Yeah! I'm LAZY... That's why the house was lived in, food was cooked, bills were paid, the house moved itself when I decided to have a change of scenery!!!! I still can't find those bloody cleanin Faeries though!!

Oh well... His loss of a good woman!!

As I will say... Ce la vie mon ami !! HA HA You still don't even know what YOU want in life.peace

I know what you mean singledadoftwo. It makes it hard to decide if we are prepared to give your all... I did... I got kicked in the guts AGAIN!!!

I know some men are very REAL but the majority AREN'T.

I can't say much more then that cause I am so gobsmacked that an older man would do that to me. He had it all but chose to throw it away after nearly 6 months .. Who knows anymore...

I don't know I am wondering if its all worth it,laugh then I meet some one who seems real and knows what they want,then wham,no sorry,not my cup of tea any more,but if you still want to stay friends.:don't be upset,doesn't matter how old you are it still hurts and you beat yourself up trying to work out what the f---- did I do wrong.the answer is always NOTHING,
But I just stay strong and continue on my journey and each time do things just a little differently.live and learn.

Thanks Nature.hug

I know I did nothing wrong... He is the one that had issues then SHUT DOWN and didn't talk about them... HIS LOSS.. broken heart

I am quite happy to start talkin to new people.

How hard is it to continue to love someone after your in their arms?... Obviously he thinks it's too hard to be REAL and FAIR and STRONG. Then again... Can't teach an ol dog new tricks!!

Sorry to hear that Sel ... but HuN its not just the blokes pulling this caper, you already know this ...

People burning others emotions seems to go hand in hand with meeting people off the internet, its like everyone is always waiting for the next best thing ...

Chin up old friend, you'll bounce up, there has to be something better for you ahead ... and Sel ... when I have I ever steered you wrong ??

There are some lovely guys around, there still needs to be the right emotional as well as physical connection though.

Thanks PrOwLeR...

Nice to see a familiar face..

I know it goes on in both sides of relationships... And Yes! It does seem like they are waiting for the next best thing... That is the overall feeling I get with him now. *^%$#!*... very mad I was just 'something' until the next best thing came along...

I am bouncin back!!! boogie I'll just become a bigger b!tch then I was to compensate for bigger @$$hol3s out there... I can go either way if they want.

Yeah I know PrOwLeR... Just a case of "He didn't mind and I didn't matter"... He stopped talkin and I was goin out with a bloke that never texed, never rang, Never replied and never talked.. I had to ask about the job he applied for.. 2 days after cause he never answered his phone for me to find out... "Oh! I thought you already knew"... Me > "You don't talk to me anymore so how could I know?"...

Great communication skills!! I don't know how his first wife of 17 years could stand his arrogance.

Sorry to here Hatpin but you know what the saying is you can spend minutes hours days weeks or even months over analysing a situation trying to put the pieces together justifying what could've would've happened or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fark on which sounds like you have..

Good luck in your quest.peace
