This message is in reply to Marylo message.
Hello Marylo!
sorry I'm just now getting back to you - been kind of busy etc
anyways I want to thank you for your nice message to me and
for your good advice
for some reason I seem to cry sometimes when I'm with my
new boyfriend
The following are the reasons:
1)because I'm afraid I'm going to lose him.
2)because I'm getting older and I'm 13 years
older then him.
3)because although we spend lots of time together - practically
live together but I feel we are very limited as to what we
do together since he is afraid to spend any money so we
can have a little bit of fun - and I was crying about this
again tonight - I almost gave him an altimatum but I'm afraid
it didn't work - tonight I tryed to get him to take me out to
eat and then for couple drinks (he might not of directly said "no"
but the answer was "no" anyways)
4) I tell him I love him very much as I want to have fun with him.
nothing I say seems to work
it does hurt that he won't take me out and he could well afford to
spend a little on entertainment
5) I get pretty depressed about this allot of times. I want
him to take me out on dates - doesn't have to be all the time
but even twice a month if not once a week
6) he will do things with me - just so they are free
we took a very nice walk together one lovely evening
but most entertainment does cost at least a little
I try to tell him that I'm not picky - he doesn't have to spend
much money on me (on us) to make me happy.
I know other women would probably not tollerate this at all.
matter fact as soon as I saw this pattern I should have took a
stand but I failed to do this
7) I also cry because although he says he loves me - it took him
around about 4 months (this being the 5th month of our relationship)
to tell me he loved me and I sort of pryed it out of him somewhat
telling him that if he really didn't love me I just couldn't stand it
any longer - that I really wanted to find a man that could love me
and that I need him to love me
but I'm not sure I'm convinced he loves me - he is loving and
affectionate - he provides me the loving kind of needs but I'm always
the one who initiates the love making
I get depressed and I'm just not sure what I should do.
Sometimes I feel that I just couldn't stand the heartbreak
if me and him split up.
I find myself frustrated with my life. I've been unhappy with my
circumstances of my life for years I might as well say.
I did manage to escape this boring area I live in for a year
and a half - I've lived in this town for 27 years
minus the 1.5 years 2003-2004 I managed to live in another state
but didn't have much fun there either - not the exciting life
I thought I was moving to.
but then me and my son we had some good times there
in the other state
it was a relief to get out of here for awhile but I needed to
come back here as I was worried about my elderly mother and
it's a good thing I did since my dear mom passed away July
this year - I had a few very nice visits with my sweetheart of
a mother before she died. She is still missed very much.
I just feel like my life is passing me by. I'm not living
where I want to live and I'm not having the kind of fun I
would love to be having.
why is it I just can't be happy with my boyfriend - I mean
I've never really had a boyfriend like this before - I was
married twice and I had no boyfriends hardly at all until I
was in my mid 40's
and all those poor people devastated by that terrible
hurricane - lots of people died as a result - lots of people
hurt and still suffering
so what reason do I have to be depressed yet I feel
depressed
is it really all that bad to want more out of life then
you have - to wish for more quality of life - more
really neat, fun experiences especially with this man
I love so much and I'm so afraid of losing him
tonight I'm trying to convince myself that the other wonderful things
about our relationship (the loving attention, the holding, kissing & cuddling,
the beautiful love making and all the talking we do together - we are like
best friends & best lovers combined)
so I try to convince myself that all the loving attention (mentioned
above) is more fun/wonderful then all the dates we could go on
yet I still find myself wanting and wishing we could have lots
of fun together or at least a little fun - as far as doing things
together - like going out for coffee or couple drinks (even just sodas)
or some other activity
I mean he won't even take me out for a cup of coffee.
it's very difficult to understand him though I try very hard
I try very hard to accept things the way they are - the way they
might always be - even when he get a good paying job in the near
future hopefully after he finishes his schooling most probably
this Dec.
plus I look at his culture and try understanding that way
so any advice anyone can give me will be very helpful
Sincerely,
#40885
