  1. Just found out this story tonight from a guy friend : He was married to this woman for around 6 years. Although they had a tumultous relationship, he loved her dearly but she didn't appreciate him. He eventually dumped her last year. In the last year, he started dating around, finding himself, having a good time. He is now in a loving, happy 4-month relationship. Just a few nights ago, his ex called him. She wants him back. She has been crying on the phone, talking about how much she loves him, how horrible her mistake has been and has learned over the past year that he is the most awesome one. He is currently confused. Why do people do this to themselves?
  2. For some reason, in my eyes, this is more depressing than romantic or hopeful. They have missed so many vital years together....and only now, do they get together at 73. Could it be the fear of dying alone that got them together? What does this say about the state of relationships and why people stay in dead end, horrible relationships? The fear of being alone or dying alone is extremely strong and motivating. It can lead people to be in very unhappy marriages until they die.
  3. The story of my paternal grandparents : They were teen sweethearts. However, my grandfather came from a very rich family, while she came from a family who was also rich but not rich enough to be married off to my grandfather's family. My grandfather spent his entire 20s in America, studying law and business. When he came back, he married a woman who was considered " acceptable " by his family and they even had a son together. However, during WWII, the Japanese killed his wife when they wreaked havoc during the occupation of the capital city. He was a widower at the age of 35-something. He took care of his son ( my uncle ), worked hard at business and his law practice but still felt utterly lonely and thought about his teen sweetheart ( my grandmother ). So, he started writing letters to her family, to try and find her. It took around a year to finally get her address ( as we believe now, her family was trying to protect her from getting her heart broken again ). Anyway, they had their " first " date when they finally reconnected and they married within a few months. They were together for a very long time, had 5 children ( my dad, his three brothers and his sister ) and the love ended when my grandfather died. My grandmother outlived him for another 20 years and never remarried, always wearing black and referring to him as if he was still alive ( and was just away on a business trip ). It's a very bittersweet story....
  4. I think all these stories are exceptions...and not the rule. They are very rare indeed. I have a feeling that if my ex and I ever broke up ( since we are hitting the rocks with this new long distance situation ), we would get back, stronger than ever, bc our relationship is pretty intense. The relationship has to be intense in the first place in order for the thoughts of reconciliation to come back, that no other woman or man can topple the memories.
  5. I wonder how..... 1) When I asked you, " Are you lying to yourself about wanting to be with me in the future ? ".....why didn't you just take the chance to tell me the truth and exit gracefully? 2) How can you be so unsure about your own future and career at your age? 3) How can you be so immature and want to hang out with those people who are in their 30s and still want to hang out at the park, drinking beer, and going to their cafe jobs and not have any sort of ambition? 4) How did we become so different in a matter of a few months? 5) Do you know that it is ME who will eventually break up with you...and you will come running back to me...because I know you so well?
  6. I think that it's ONLY manipulation if you set an ultimatum ( and then expect him to chase after you ). However, if you left with every purpose and intent of ending things with him, forgetting about him, moving on because he clearly couldn't give you what you needed ( that is good for both him and you ), then I say, it's NOT manipulation. You were simply acting to save your dignity, pride and sanity.
