You have dated someone who sends you many love messages. Yearns for you? You respond. Then they dump you in a cold and harsh way. Was it ever Love or just lies as you provided Material help. Just Using? Then they still love you, just dont want you? Perhaps just keeping the financial lines open? Not nice to feel used but worse they persist in sending love. Insult to Injury? Were the months of love letters just convenient lies? Probably. But why go on lying? Maybe as they cannot face their duplicity? The fact that they are just users?
Being Jewish does no excuse using a lady as a doormat. His use of Exotic cultural and quasi religious arguments just confirms his nature as a Control Freak. You are far better off without him.
Hope nobody minds but I wanted to share this poem by WENDY COPE. Sums up so much....?
DEFINING THE PROBLEM
I can't forgive you. Even if I could, You wouldn't pardon me for seeing through you. And yet I cannot cure myself of love For what I thought you were before I knew you.
For me the hardest part of Betrayal was realising that the person I loved, and thought I knew so well, was in fact somebody I obviously did not know. A stranger. Totally destroyed my belief in others for a very long time. The sordid reality behind so many lies was crushing.
Very true. Thanks. Someone who needs to be possessive, even of your past, is deeply insecure. Maybe I have the 'Love them enough and they will be OK' idea. Very silly when you look at it objectively. You Give and Give in, and slowly cease to be you. Guess I didn't want to face that.... Thanks again.
I just, for a brief time, considered it? A sort of grand gesture? But you cannot and should not try to airbrush away your past. Thanks to all for so many wise comments.
Like many I have photos of my Exes... Even 2 Wedding Albums? Lol My new GF says I should burn them. Why keep pics of people who have hurt you? They are not on display! Should I destroy them?
Sounds like this man is a Control Freak? Must be very insecure. Taking him back 6 times after he cheated on you is 5 times too many. Dump him and find a man that respects you and shares your values. A lovely lady like you should not be bullied. Noone should be!
I left a rose on my wifes pillow every so often. Left poems or Love notes in her bag, to find at work. Cooked candelit meals....as a surprise... When she cheated she said it was all boring? And the Venice holiday for our Anniversary? I put the tickets in her card? At the time she cried happily. Later it was a smelly dump! Women eh??????
A lovely thread. For me 10 days ago. Have to wait now for a week. God I miss her! Amazed that so many beautiful women on the Forum are unkissed for so long.
Bring back Mistletoe! A kiss is for Life, not just Christmas ...?
