ponchsox Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 History: *Dated a single mom with a 6 year old * She lives an hour away *She's a tax accountant and often works 7 days * I drove to her house which is 100 miles round trip every week * She was getting stressed and after her son got a bad progress report she called me and said she had to end it because "I was getting the crumbs and she had to focus on her son" Did I do all I can? She did tell me after the breakup she may have blown her future and if she couldn't make it with me, she couldn't make it with anyone.
Grumpybutfun Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 ponchsox: Yes, you did all you can do. She is in a stressful life and it sounds like she believes that she can't focus on you and her child. I am not sure how involved you are with her...love, infatuation, dating lightly, but regardless, she sounds like she is overwhelmed and feels you are getting the shaft. Best to know now whether something has a future in it, than stick around for a long time and come to the same conclusion. I hope you find someone who is at the same place in their life as you are. I am starting to understand from reading here and talking to men out in the real world how difficult this is. Best, Grumps

Best, Grumps We dated for 1.5 years and I love her, so it was very difficult for me to walk away. I understand why she did what she did.
