I’ll start.
We had great chemistry but different goals. She was religious and looking to marry and thought she could change me, a non-religious person who intends to remain unmarried and childless. I was up front about the lack of religion and the lack of desire for marriage. She was not up front about her intent to change me.
After two months of regular flings she told me we couldn’t see each other anymore, because she wanted someone to go to church with, it was my fault she was living a sinful life (totally), and she was cheating on me with another dude was a Christian.
She died…
Becoming a widower at 40 sucks.
Real sorry bro. I am getting married tomorrow morning so this is a particularly terrible thought right now for me. I hope things are better for you today
Well, I wish you the best in your endeavor.
Let me give you a little bit of advice. A relationship is work, you can’t expect things to just be without putting in the time to make it. Take pictures every chance you get. Record yourselves having dinner and a conversation. Make memories that will last. Take the vacation together and explore somewhere new. Don’t give up just because something is tough. Apologize when you are wrong. Don’t be an ass when you are right. Learn how to look at things from another person’s point of view. Invest in yourselves. Do something good for someone else without expecting credit. Be a better person not just for those who see you but for those who don’t.
Much love, brother/friend. I’m sorry about that. It’s one of my biggest fears.
It’s life… It’s also the reason why I try to live my life to the best of my abilities. I am trying to teach my stepson that you can not put off for tomorrow what should be today. You never know what could happen and where tomorrow will lead.
