I am deeply in love with a young lady. We have been together for 7 months now. We are both divorcees and this is the first time I have really been in love. I am 31 years old. I am sure she is the one for me but she is the type of person who questions everything. She was in denial of her feelings because of a past relationship. The young man got her pregnant and she had to abort the baby because the young man was found to be unfaithful. She regrets this decision but she already had 2 kids from her marriage. So I guess that played into the decision. She is now very much in love with me and she says she never thought she would be again. She says she wants to give me her whole heart but it's hard for her because of her past. It's like one minute she talks about our furture and wanting to get married to me eventually, the next she is unsure and moody, because she is afraid I will change. I do a lot for her financially as well as emotionally. I am always there for her. She says she is over her ex, this was 3 years ago, but I don't know. How do I make her realize I am there for her and really love her? I show her everyday. My actions and words are there. She is confusing me by her going back and forth and constant doubts. So now I feel like a wall is growing because now I want to protect my feelings. HEEEELPPPPP!!!!!!!!! I really love her and want this to work out. Ladies help me please.
if you've told her repeatedly, shown her repeatedly, then I don't know what more you can do to let her know that you're there for her. If you're her second relationship after 3 years, and the first didn't work out because trust...then clearly she's got issues with trust. Maybe all you can do is wait for her .....although.....and I'm no behavioral specialist ya know....but it could be that the way you guys are now, is the way she wants it so that she can have what she needs/wants from you and still have the protective covering around her life and heart....hmmmm
everyone is different in these types of sitches...and I personally...would wait...but not forever...not even for more than a few months really. If i've proven my trust to someone and they haven't released theirs to me after a good amount of time...then screw it (says onyx)...
Hmmm...
7 months isn't that long.
I think you are justified in saying that you are uncomfortable giving her financial support if you are unsure of her intentions. But I can see that she would need more than 7 months to get over her trust issues.
Up to you, though. As onyxelle says, I'm not sure if there is anything else that you can DO but wait -- I think the issue is more what you are willing to put up with. If you have no problem waiting, wait.
onyx and soz knows best ;-)
We do.
(Nice to have you aboard if I haven't said so already...)
Sounds like she has to have constant reassurance. I guess command professions of devotion can be romantic for a while--and then, it can get irritating.
Ask her if she wouldn't rather enjoy the relationship than talk about it.
Second time this week I've had to truck this out...
"Marry at haste, Repent at leisure"
If she's the one, she's not going anywhere...
Sounds like she could use some help from a professional counsellor, to help her sort things out generally in her life.
RE: HELP
Thanks guys. Glad to be aboard. I will keep yall posted on how things go. There is one thing I forgot to add. I am an up and coming recording artist. So I can see in a way why she would have an issue, BUT I do everything I can to reassure her. I just wish she would let me know what she wants.
what kind of artists do you record? pencil? watercolor? graphite? oils?
Just keep writing her songs dude. It's a good deal for both of you. Also, don't forget to thank her when you win a Grammy. Good luck!
I wrote her a song once she loved it. I send her poems once a week atleast. And flowers.
