Is Love really enough?

August 17th, 2009 at 05:07 pm

I am facing a pretty hard situation right now. The man I love, whom I know loves me, may not be the best person for me. I am not sure that I make him happy as we don't have the same intersts and I worry that he may be bored.

He did something disrespectful (not horrible like physical cheating, but that mental cheating that ticks some of us women off) and I had asked him not to do it, and he did it again recently. I couldn't go with him to do a fun activity that he enjoys because it is late at night and I have to get up early for work. He has asked me to do things with him (more dating things), but things are hard right now, our schedules are different, so we haven't really been able to spend couple time 2gether, even though we are living together. It is not like I don't want to, it is just that I work different hours than he has, plus cooking and cleaning, and I am worn out a lot on the weekends.

He is going through some really hard times and I feel like it would be not the best thing to just kick him out. I do care for him and I just wonder that maybe we aren't the best union. It is so hard because we have both never found someone who accepted each other and loves each other the way we do. How do you balance that with a severe lack of mutual interests?

Our relationship has been good, but it has also been filled with life hardships....he has had to take care of his sick parents and that has really stressed him out. so a majority of our relationship has been just trying to survive together and make it through these difficult financial times.

I am not sure what to do. Part of me feels like we should remain friends and put the romance part on hold. Not sure. Frown

    I would definitely talk to him about your feelings. It could be he's feeling the same way, but you won't know until you talk it through!

    Because I am a fellow idiot guy, can you please elaborate specifically what you mean by mental cheating?

    Well, you mentioned that the two of you are on different schedules and it's been hard on the both of you. So, if the hardship is situational and not something that's fundamentally broken, I think it's possible to be able to work this through.

    But again, I suppose that also depends on what you mean by "mental cheating"?
