I have let my Long Distance Relationship girlfriend go to date other men. To find out if our love is strong enough to last the rest of our lives.

Although the timing is devestating, I can not control her timing and I don't want that control.

I do want her to know that I can let her go to find her answers because I love her that much.

Ten years ago she asked me if I was willing to wait ten years for her. I said yes.

Ten years later she wants to date other men and there is nothing I can do about it other than wait.

So I will wait

10 tears is a long time mike. I am proud of you bro. I think you are doing the right thing and although you may be devestated, feel free to mingle yourself and see if that holds true for you also. She may want to see if others may be right, maybe you should too. Kevin

Thanks brother. I found my answers five years ago when I questioned our love. I did find that our love is stronger.

Now she says to me: Maybe we should have done this years ago. To which I answered that's exactly what I did.

I know that I want to be with her for the rest of my life, I don't have any questions.

I believe she is scared because she understands that we are so close now and is maybe testing my patience. Or not

My friend to wait is putting your life on hold. Go about your life or you may find that you have lost more time than you wanted. There is someone out there for you that would never look any further than you....go find her my friend...it is the best way.

If a woman said she loved me and later wanted to date another. She would not love me enough for me to want her anymore. I would never know if she would want another again, at a later time. I would not live my life on a maybe when it comes to love. Best of luck!

I know I'll be fine, it's not me that I am concerned about.

Thanks

Thanks Len, I have walked on the wild side my whole life.

That walk got me where I am today (Disabled and in pain), and figuring the next step is the hardest step yet because of the love involved.

I am not afraid to say that I love her with my entire being. Not to the point of obsession but to the point of acceptance within myself.

I can't honestly say what your heart feels as I am not you....But please,just allow me to say that your heart is not one to be toyed nor tampered with and the thought of one such as you in pain,is unsettleing to me,I feel that she knows your sitting on the dock of the bay waiting,and if and only when it doesn't work ut will you be her main squeeze..........Regardless Mike I respect you as a person and therefore respect your dicissions...........hug

Mike i have to say that i couldnt not do that if i loved someone if they said they loved me and after 10 yrs wanted to date others i would have to walk away but thats just me.


I wish you the love you deserve and are in need of. You are a special man indeed and deserve a great woman in your life to return the love you give.

i really think that is too long of a wait... dating other people after that long is bad, and why that long of a wait in the first place, was there a really good reason... a lot can happen in ten years... do you see eachother regularly.... something just doesn't seem right... i think that you should bother know by now how you feel and what you want from eachother and with eachother.
