Ok I can definitely do that.

I tend to keep my relationship matters to myself. I have two friends who I can talk to about things and they give pretty good insight.

Thanks again for the advice.

It makes sense. Tough to hear but I understand.

Also, another reason I was confused was because he had been drinking and was talking in circles so I was getting bits and pieces of the story. I think this really played a part in the communication breakdown. I clearly know the difference in how he talks when he’s sober.

I think I’m trying to find a balance on how to handle situations because I’ve had a history of running. We can agree to disagree but again dealing with him in this capacity is still fairly new for me. I just want things to be fair and balanced.

Thank you! I really appreciate it.

You are absolutely right. I take the idea of marriage and children very seriously. I never want to go into anything that doesn’t align with my spirit (been there done that). I’ve learned a lot about myself this year and my mindset has changed a lot. What my mother thinks does weigh on me because she’s my mother. We’re not as connected as we could be because I don’t believe she understands me. I’ve educated myself (Masters Degree), have my own company, homeowner, and these are things I’ve done independently. My mother did not accomplish these things but she’s been married for 35 years. So it’s hard for us to relate. Instead of asking me “how’s the business going?” Or “how’s the new home?” It’s always questions and comments related to relationships.

Thanks for listening!

Thank you!

I will say it’s been tough. I had to hear a lot of what I didn’t do. I know what I did and my intentions were pure. I knew deep in my heart it was best to end it.  He clearly didn’t see any of his wrongdoings. He got upset because I explained to him that he didn’t have to get himself fired.

He has has a lot of growing up to do. Pushing the age of 34 with 2 children and no stability doesn’t sound promising. I will continue to take care of myself and keep striving for greatness.

Thanks for all responses!

Thanks for the responses!

I think I’ve done my fair share and it’s best that I move on. I have too much going for myself to allow myself to get stuck in a situation like this especially when it’s repeated itself. He’s shown me that being responsible is not a priority of his and I can’t make him see it.

Mark, I read over what I wrote and if it was my friend I would tell her to let it go and move on.

Thank you!
