    thats great, there are lots of single men out there. dont break up families. especially if there are kids involved, on earth we might think its great etc, but we cannot lie to GOD, he knows everything and no matter how much we pray we will get punsihed for wrong doing....

      Ashana, you have not a clue what you are talking about. He had been separated from his wife for seven years before I met him and living apart in his own house in a different town. His daughter is grown. I didn't break up any family. And, get over yourself and casting stones and the God b.s. It doesn't watch and has nothing to do with this story or my experience. Get over your judgmental self.

      Well, considering he lived apart from her and already physically left, I thought it was different. I believed him when he said that it was long over, but I know now that this is not true. I loved him very much, and I do think he loved me, but in the end, it was too much. He couldn't move on. I have to just let this go and allow myself a break for my part. I will never go towards another married man, regardless of circumstances again. Ever.

    I am really really sad that this man was able to cheat you of the relationship you clearly definesd with him. He gave you to believe HE wanted everything you wanted =- only to withdraw at a later date because it got in the way of his real agenda. . . Mmmmmm. Sounds like you had a lucky escape, despite the fact that it was heart-breaking and disillusioning for you.

    There ARE good men in the world Rose, and one of those will be the right man for ou. I have no doubt he will be VERY happy to find you - as you will be to find him. (BTW, I wouldn't give any possible consideration to Vegassquire if I were you!! ROFL!!)

      As long as you don't have a relationship with them, it works out fine. I don't know, Enna. I think I have lost my mind. I went out to an open mic and did a social experiment comedy routine telling the truth of what happened to me. It wasn't funny for most of it, but a few punch lines were okay. It was angry and rageful. And, I hate that I let him do that to me. Part of it felt great to just speak out the truth , and I wonder why I feel shame because I spoke outloud what he did to me. But, the other part feels petty despite the fact it was all true. I am going to stop now. I can't keep up this anger (it is more hurt, deep hurt, then anger anyway). But, I have been putting it on myself. Blaming myself. If only I was more loving, pressured him less, gave him more time. But, he had a year to move on the divorce and it was just one long procrastination process of why he couldn't because he had to wait to explain it to her in tiny bits and pieces. It was insane. And, I should have left sooner. It was so confusing, I thought we were so close. More the fact that it makes me question my entire experience then the end that makes it so tough. I have been invalidated by men forever. He did tell me I wasn't wrong, but I still feel like it is my fault (I know it isn't). I am not letting that drive me, but this backlashing has got to stop. So, I'm going to do it right now. I spoke up about what was done to me and my rage, and it is not how I want to handle myself anymore. Self forgiveness allowed for being reactive, duly noted it is pointless and petty, and I stop now. I just was so invalidated by him, I had to hear myself say it out loud to a room full of people to hear how ludicrous it was that I think it is my fault.

    You screwed up and feel in love ... expected more then he was ever willing to give, right? Yet it is his fault?

    Damn man, nobody wants to take personal responsibility anymore.

      Ah. No.

      I told him from the beginning that I was not going to continue to the relationship if he was going to marry, and we could end it right then. He said he was. Said he was going to do it anyway, said he planned on doing it before he met me. He knew I wanted a committed partnership and he acted for the majority of the time like he wanted a future with me. Talked about sharing our kids grandchildren. He knew I had ZERO interest in being a Geisha, and I left because he LIED to me. Not because I didn't take personal responsibility. I TOOK responsibility by leaving and holding to MY word when I realized he was just buying time. I was his best friend, favorite person, loved me to pieces....all that b.s. Then, during a month of being really ill, he left me at my worst. Why? Because his feelings were hurt because I blew around him talking about his wife and finances and more backtrack divorce b.s. Yeah. I hold to my word, don't allow myself to be played with, have to call him out on his deceptions and manipulations before he admits what he was doing, and then I'm not taking personal responsibility? Give me a break, jerk.

      Rose, ignore this Vegassquire dipstick. ANYone who knows you and your story knows how above-board, honest and scrupulous you are in your relationships. You are transparent, genuine and are very clear about what you seek and what you need. You were cheated by this man to whom you gave your heart - full stop.

      The fact that Vegassquire thinks the man in question was not at fault and that you were says a GREAT deal about Vegassquire and nothing at all about you!!

      VS, you are a misogynistic idiot who obviously does not read back stories. As you inflict your judgment on Rose, so I inflict my judgment on you. Not nice, is it??
