Dear Tee,
I’m glad to hear that you are a bit better and that even in that hard moment of your life, you still make something positive out of it. That is really beautiful ๐ผ
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Yes, I’m watching some of the videos on YouTube about that concept and it makes perfect sense. I am trying to find peace with myself and the past.</p>
Tee, the example with your husband really resonates with me. It used to be that one of my dates mentioned to me that he feels like my father. He said that he has kids and doesn’t want to be seen as a protector or carer of my needs. I wanted the love I missed from my father. I do not regret loosing him as he had terrible anger issues and also too ,modern’ for me.
He also complained about his ex wife taking his washing machine after divorce so not a great prospect ๐
I still believe that our man should be like a real father figure (protector and provider) and being needy is human. Maybe some men like that? Maybe if we do not go overboard with our emotions, it is something to cherish and not to eliminate?
I’m hoping to meet someone who is not afraid of those emotions but sometimes I’m the one running ๐ I realised that I can’t handle emotionally the constant chats on WhatsApp or on the phone. Why is that? I feel overwhelmed if there is too much exchange as well. Maybe it is the introvert in me and nothing to do with the childhood?
Tee, you gave me hope for better tomorrow. I’m glad that we could share our life experiences and help each other one way or the other.
You reminded me about that TV program called ,90 days fiancรฉ’ where people need to decide to marry very quickly as their visa expires after 90 days. They live in different countries.
Your love story is very inspiring too. To be honest, I admire your patience as being in a long distance relationship is very hard.
How did you make it work? Did you struggle with any cultural or religious differences?
Also would it be too much to ask you which countries are you both from?
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Last Sunday one of the priests told me a very interesting thing. He said that sometimes the place you are used to is not the place you belong. This might be a sign.</p>
Anyways, Tee your kindness and support have been a source of comfort during this difficult time and I cannot thank you enough. ๐
Your willing to listen, offer a kind word & emphasise with my emotions have helped me feel less alone and more understood and I feel very grateful ๐
Warm greetings and take care!
Dafne
