Question - (17 June 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 17 June 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've been seeing a guy for 6 months. To begin with he showed interest and we've been getting on great. We love each others company. The problem is the time and my family, we're from different backgrounds. He does shifts at work, I got 2 jobs and finding time is hard. The week before last has been very stressful for both of us. My family now know of him and we're putting alot of pressure on me, therefore I leaned on him, then in the same week his mother and step father have decided to divorce. We had a chat and he said that he can't give me the time I deserve at this moment as he has too many other comittments. He also said he needs time out and see how things go. He said he still wants to see me. The decision was left with me. Then he said that if I meet someone else he'd understand??? and that he wants me to be happy. I've been going on about marriage because I'm 28, but he's 3 years younger than me. He also says that he doesn't feel the same way about anyone else as he does about me. It's been a few days since the chat, I feel that he's distanced himself more. He doesn't reply to my messages quickly enough. Am I wasting my time?

Danielepew agony auntYes, you are wasting your time, but, more important, you are agonizing over something that won't take you anywhere. A girlfriend I had said that line to me, the "I would understand if you met someone else" thing, and, after what seemed an eternity in hell, I found out she had someone else.

Obviously you love him, but he does not love you. The sooner you get over him, the better.
