First I want to say im brand new to this site, and today just really hit me hard.
I could really use some advice.
I am 23 years old.
I guess here's the rundown. I dated this girl for almost a year. She was great at first and we had so much in common, people said we were perfect for eachother and i thought that she thought that too. She told me upfront what she believed and this was our biggest problem. She said she was a different religion than my own. Now for me, I don't care if someone believes something different than me. She did care.
Her parents didn't like me because i was a different religion and told me i was no good for there daughter. I did my very best to treat her right, respect her decisions and treat her like she was the most important person in the world to me. Months went by, we got more serious and soon she begged me to marry her. Now keep in mind that we spent pretty much every day together. Over and over again i would hear her ask me to buy a ring and marry her. I wanted to wait alittle bit, i was still early in my career, on my way to affording a house, and just wanted to go slower than she did. Right before a year, nothing got better, we fought all the time, telling me i had to convert religion to be accepted by her family and honestly, i felt like for her as well. Really sucked. But i was crazy about her and i wanted to. But after long nights of thinking about it, i decided not to.
Anyways, she broke up with me and i wish it didn't happen. Only two weeks went by and she already found another guy. She called me to tell her all about him like im gonna enjoy that. (Why do girls do that?)
Finally today, i agreed to meet with her to give her her things back she left at my house and when i went to meet her, she had her boyfriend in the car. Made me sick to my stomach. She grabbed her stuff and i drove off.
I don't get how someone claims to love you and want to marry you and then get over you that quickly.
Sorry i think i just wanted to spill what happened, i know i just need to move on, find someone who enjoys being with me instead of someone trying to change me, it's just really hard you know.
Thanks.
