well, your reply was most refreshing. if i were your fiancé, i would be truly overwhelmed with your love.
you said that she is going through a lot right now, with her discovery of her sickness and her volunteer job. is that why she hardly spends time with you? there could be something else. but then again, knowing about the endo thing could really devastate a woman. believe me, i know what my cousin's girlfriend went through. eventhough adoption is still possible, but, we women know what it is to have truly our own child. i am gussing this is what your girlfriend is going through right now, knowing that shemay not have her own kids.
i really hope i am wrong and that there is maybe yet another problem she is facing which you have to find out. the best thing to do right now is to let her breath for a while. but do not fade away from her. i know you cannot do that, anyway. i can sense your deep love for her. but sometimes, especially when a woman faces a personal crisis, she wants to face it alone. yes, you it is true that when you are married or engaged already, you become one. but a woman has some problems that she has to handle by herself. this makes her stronger.
give her space, tony. she may be experiencing a different kind of "joy" with other people around her in her work. but that doesn't mean her feelings for you have abated even just a little.
well... i've said a handful... tellme what you think and feel free to disagree with me.
