Dear April,
Thank you for the reply.
I am heartbroken wondering why he moved on so fast despite the fact that I did so much for him. He once told me that no woman will ever be able to withstand this 10 years relationship. And he thanked me for making him a better person; over the years, he learned to be more discipline and take things seriously in life.
In fact the time off period i suggested was aimed to make him more independent and ultimately be able to stand on his own feet. Because theoughout the 10 yrs, i was there for him in his downs of life, when his family abused him and when he needed money. But it comes a time when we were talking about marriage and that was why we took a time off.
He told me that he is now not dependent on me and at the same time the feelings and memories are gone with it. Which i still cannot accept.
People always say, woman’s loyalty is tested when the man has nothing. But sadly he cannot see that.
Being honest with my parents is hard because they like him. In fact he is the only man that i brought to my parents. And we are not wealthy so i am afraid i will disappoint them if i tell them i have been helping him financially. My mother is a seamstress for 30 yrs to support the family. My father is unable to work anymore.
April, we had a very simple and yet happy relationship this 10 yrs. We do not go out on expensive dates, no romantic dinner or getaway. We’d just stay home and talk, movies, cook and we were happy. I know it was genuine. I wonder if i will ever be able to move on from this.
