Thread: Sigh

Sigh...... It sucks when a relationship begins to fail. No matter how hard you try it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Was in a terrible 17 year marriage and finally I built up enough to where it was suicide or ask for a divorce. I got divorced and found what I believed to be my soulmate. That kind of exciting love. She moved in and shes been here over a year and it has been wonderful up until today I got the " I need some alone time" speech. We fought etc but in my heart I know it's the end. Maybe love can't conquer all. Sorry to vent here but I needed to or I would just burst into tears.

I'm sorry to hear that man!

I will say some times a little alone time can brighten the path! My new fiancé and I spent some alone time (about a month and a half to two) and it was the BEST thing we could have done! That's not saying they all are like that but show her you care you want this and if it's meant to be it meant to be and if not the path will be brightened to better and happier places, people and things! Stay strong and it will always work out for the best and the way it was meant to be!!

Dude. That sucks for ya.
I was married, divorced, had a live in for quite a while, watched that go to hell, lived alone and finally am very happily married (and getting older)
I dont know what to say to you other than i hope you can find the happiness that i have within or without this or any relationship you have going forward.
I sincerely wish you the best
keep yer chin up bud

Trying. Not succeeding but trying

Well pard, I hope it works out the way you want it to.

Been down that road a few times. Ain't a pleasant trip.

Hang in there.

It's probably best to both go to a counselor and discuss what's going on.

I'd recommend a book that will be helpful to you whichever way this comes out:

The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle.

Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear that mate.
It sure is sad when one have to face the reality of a broken relationship.
I've been down that road myself a couple times, and do feel your pain.
Only one thing to do though, go about doing what needs doing and looking forward to even greener pastures!

Better for it to go bad now rather than 17 yrs from now. Take your time, there is no rush you have to live your life. God bless, forgive her and go on.

If you were a woman you would probably have a bunch of close friends to act as a support group for you to help you get through this. If this is really getting to you and you don't have a support group like that seek out a professional to at least listen to you vent about this. I'm afraid this forum isn't the best place to do this unfortunately.

Good luck.

+1 with ace. Counseling is never a bad thing. Even if things don't work out the way you want them too, a counselor can clear the way, so you can see the path. Hang in there friend, we've all been there and it sucks!
