Taking a two week break

Sophia I think u have handled this situation very graciously. I believe it demonstrates true love when u can give the other person what they really need. You put his needs ahead of yours. He needed and wanted this break, for whatever the reason. I believe in a relationship there is never a real 50/50. Sometimes one is more needy than the other. You r giving him what he wants and needs right now. You will know the outcome very soon.
I don’t think it’s easy to find and have real love. I’m 62 and I have had three men that I have been in love with. Treasure that love because it’s not always easy to find. Two weeks is just a drop in the bucket. I have so many friends that settled and live in a world of regret. Give him a chance. Maybe more folk should seriously reflect on serious decisions, instead of acting impulsively.

Well that’s one way to really limit your dating options.

wow Lisa!!! I agree that some men go through a mid life crisis and start going after young women, however I was married for 16 years to someone I met at school. we split 4 years ago and I CHOSE to go out with someone older (only 6 years) as I found men my age (36 at the time)still wanted to have children, or at least didn’t know if they did or not, and it was a definite no no for me having got 2 already! I don’t think you can write off every poor guy just because he happens to become single later in life!!!

I dont have any tips, except let the chips fall how they fall. HD wanted the break so he has to state how he feels, so focus on listening. Act with grace and remember you will be happy whatever the outcome. If he breaks it off, it will take a whole to recover. If he is vague about how to continue, you should seriously consider breaking up yourself. If he proposes, he is problably no longer on the fence. Take care

Dear Sofia,

I will be thinking about you today! :)
You are strong and you will handle the situation great!
Already you can be so proud of yourself! And I am very proud of you too!
You handled this in a very mature way, you didn’t cling on him, you realized that if he has not the same life goals, you can still fulfill them with someone else. Not everyone would have been able to realize that.

So tomorrow, no matter what will happen stay strong!
Either he^’ll say he’s not ready, and then you have to be prepared to walk away.
If he says that he is, there are several new conversations to have about how serious he is about having a family and getting married.

I hope everything turns out for the better, but it really is a hard situation!
I’ll be thinking about you and I know you can do it!
Keep us updated <3

I am wondering what happened here. That’s only the reason I came here today – you’re very strong lady

Hope you got what wanted/needed

I hope things went well Sofia, whether he told you he wanted to progress with you, or not. I hope you’ve been able to support yourself through this.

Please let us know what happened when you know as there’s support here, no matter what.

I love it! A build up of fake drama!

@L oh I doubt someone can fake this!

@Newbie yes it is like cliffhanger – I really wanna know the end – hoping for happing ending. ❤️

This is like watching the season finale of my favorite show and the cable goes out! What happened? Did they run off to Vegas and get married and she hasn’t had time to update us?????

I’m hoping the silence means things went her way! Fingers crossed she doesn’t need the forum anymore. If not and it’s a little to raw to log on here then I hope she finds all the happiness she deserves!

Any updates??

My feeling is it went horribly. It happens to me too – when I get bad news, I just can’t talk about it to anyone for a few days.
