axman463 Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Any Insight? I was dating a very nice woman for 8 months. She and I really hit it off and had a great time. She started bringing up marriage 3-4 months in, which made me feel a little pressure. She also came from a wealthier family which made it hard as well. I wasn't sure how to approach her letting her know that I may not be able to provide that lifestyle. It made me go into my "cave" and I really wasn't able to come back out. This also made me work hard and I started putting work first to try to achieve a greater level of success. She called me out of the blue and said this wasn't working for her. We got together and I told her how I was feeling and felt about her. It was emotional but loving. I waited a couple more weeks and called again just to follow my heart. She denied the attempt. It has been another 2 weeks and I have not contacted her. I am giving respect where it is due. How long should I wait and how do I attempt getting her back?
lemonlegs Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Sorry to hear about that. Sounds like it was your distant behaviour that provoked the break up. If you've tried once and she wasn't interested at all, I'd leave it alone... at least for a while. Months. What did she say when breaking up with you? Did she say there was a possibility for a relationship in the future?
Author axman463 Posted May 31, 2011 Author Posted May 31, 2011 We talked and she stated "You have your baby....meaning the company I started" and I don't want to take that away from you. I felt that I needed to work harder to get her things she had as a child. We have a great deal of respect for one another and her best friend said I love you two together, please make this work. I have worked my tail off the last 2 months on myself, made changes where needed, and want to be fair not approaching her "the same". I think I am just going to keep working on myself until I feel complete again??
