I've dated a lot of girls and up until recently I never thought I would get myself into any serious relationship.
I dated this girl for 4 months, and she was great, we got along on such a great intimate level just the 2 of us. Fireworks for both of us between the sex and cuddling and talking into each others faces, etc. But I knew our lives were different. To be blunt, she never got a degree, is in the service industry and doesn't have any promising future prospects, and for me, it's sort of the opposite. I was raised by a great family and my parents are still together, and to say her family is a bit effed up is an understatement.
It was a pressure on me to be honest with her after 4 months and say that I wasn't sure if I felt like we could get "serious" and go "long term". She was very much in LOVE with me from the start. So very quickly this devastates her and we break up.
During the month we were apart I started to profoundly miss her, and I realized I had some spark with her I've never had with anyone else, not even close. I asked to have her back and told her I loved her. She was reluctant at first, but we soon found ourselves happy and in love.
But she brought up that while we were apart she had hooked up with her ex boyfriend of like 5 years. And he's a REAL big shot moneybags guy, and according to her, while we were broken up he PROPOSED to her! But she told me she loved me and she wants to be with me.
Then one day, she called me and said shes leaving to go on vacation with some of her old firnds, including her ex-bf, and it was a last minute invite she;ll call me when she lands. I called her before she got on the plane and freaked out. She got mad that I freaked out and ignored me for 3 days. She called me when she got back and said she's still not over me breaking her heart, and she thinks I'm just gonna do it again, and she broke up with me.
So then I waited a couple weeks, and got in contact with her and told her I loved her and I want to be with her more than anything. Then she caved and told me she cheated on me with her ex. Said that (remember he's older, rich, powerful) he was offering her a job working for him, a job that's better than hers. That she might still love him.
I then as best as I could told her that what we have is real. she agreed. said she wanted me from the start. I said I can put the past behind us you give me a chance. Said I would commit to her. I want to so badly. She agreed. Then we spent the night together, trying not to be awkward, and for the most part it was good, and happy. But in the morning, she seemed so distraught, and said she was confused, and she needed a couple days to think.
I know the best medicine here is to wait right? not try and contact her? but I'd really like to know how to ease her mind about her future. how to tell her that an invite to love and business can't be the same invite. And even though I can't offer her a career, I can offer her true love. I say this to her, and she says it back. Ugh. what to do what to do. All I do is wait wait wait and think and it always comes back to "I want to be with HER"
