I'm back. Guess what? I'm not a complete mess! Sorry to disappoint Bluegreen and SIH. :)

 

As expected, he said he loves me and misses me but that he still doesn't know what will happen in the future. I asked him if he was willing to do therapy and he said maybe (which probably means no). I told him I can't put my life on hold for him and that I'm not willing to give up on getting married and having a family. He was sad but he agreed that I shouldn't put my life on hold.

 

I'm not going on the trip (luckily he can get his money back..I'm relieved about that). I didn't tell him to never call me again but he knows I'm serious about what I want and I think he'll respect that.

 

We ended on a positive note. We do love each other very much but we just don't want the same things. I'm very glad I went, and I'm EXTREMELY glad I was mentally prepared before I did. I'm glad this didn't happen before now.

 

I really am ok. I'm still seeing that other guy but I'm having some doubts about him. I'm not sure if I feel a spark.

 

Moral of the story - don't break NC until you know you'll be ok no matter what.

Gee golly I bet you are just heartbroken over disappointing :rolleyes: me.

But that's as much as am gonna say whatever your opinion is of me is your own choice.

And thank the ever good Lord I was never the kind of person that wilted as flower if someone disliked me but am still "glad for you".

 

Anyway back to the post ...

I've been on these boards for quite awhile. I've seen stories like yours 1000 times, and it always usually pretty copied and pasted advice that I and many others give. With your situation, I think you handled it incredibly maturely that many others just simply wouldnt do. For that, you have my respect.

 

It's hard to REALLY know what you want. People might say they do, but many of them dont. Its refreshing to see someone like yourself know EXACTLY what she wants and will take nothing less. I like that. Many of times, I would say "The meeting is to feed the ego and he wants to make sure you still care. It wont end up well and really accomplish nothing. Stay NC." With this, you gave it enough time, your emotions were very clear, and it didnt hurt to do what you did (at least not as much as it would months ago)

 

I think you handled it amazingly. I dont say that or really see that on here a lot. Keep moving forward.

It sounds like you didnt hear anything new from the meeting, but if you didnt go you may have wondered and analyzed things or regretted it. Glad you are feeling ok

I'm so glad you're all right, Kali. I knew you would be. I'm happy that you don't settle for less than what you want. You've inspired me to do and LIVE that way too!
