robert432 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 I was with my girlfriend for around 5 years, but we were friends for 10. I had a child with another woman before dating my girlfriend (we were friends then, apparently she liked me back then). Long story short, the mother of my child left me for another guy in another country, and I became a single dad. My girlfriend helped me raise my child. Somewhere along the lines, we became a couple. We moved in together after a year. 3 years ago, she asked me if I ever saw myself married to her. I didn't know the answer, so I never proposed. It was never brought up again. 1 and a half years ago, she got into a minor car accident. 3 months after the accident, she left me. She told me I wasn't her "one", and that I must feel the same way because I never proposed. She just moved out and stopped talking to me or my daughter (whom she helped raise all those years). She told me to leave her alone, so I did. To be honest, I wasn't hurt by her leaving. Today I found out that she's engaged to another guy. It just hit me like a ton of bricks. I wasn't unhappy when she left, so why am I unhappy now? I still don't know how I truly feel about her, but I'm just incredibly sad/hurt/jealous she's getting married to another man.
Jasper123 Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 It's a common one that happens to alot of us, I've had it. It's easy to say move on, she's now engaged, but it hurts, time does heal and you will forget about her. Just remember your a great guy and you will find someone better for YOU than her. It may take time, but it WILL happen. This may give you some solace: 9 Sad Love Quotes to Get You Through Heartbreak | LifeDaily
Nicoleiia Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 Its the typical male situation. You don't want her until somebody else wants her. Now she's more "valuable" than before. But no need to fret. After a while, you won't care and life will go on for both of you. 1
Philosoraptor Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 It's nothing but jealousy. If you weren't sure you wanted to marry her and didn't feel anything when she left, then you didn't lose anything. She had a right to move on and she apparently found someone who wanted that kind of commitment to her. All you can do is wish her well and continue on the path in life you feel will bring you happiness. 1
