Please help - How do I turn my life around from them?
After 3 yrs he took me to Venice and proposed. Heaven. The only strange thing was that he didnt like me spending the nights at his house except saturdays or half term holidays. I saw him nearly every night and we were always together. His family and mine were happy or us. He told me quite early on that he would like to work abroad at some point. I spent most of my time trying to find a job abroad so we could go together. My only stipulation was he try and go to an english speaking country as this gave me a good chance of finding a job as well as I wanted him to have his dream. After 5 or 6 years, I mentioned isnt it about time we started thinking about living tgether? He said that he was scared of living together so I agreed how about we try
me staying more than 1 night a week t start off with as we are together all the time on holidays and it has never been a problem. He agreed but it never happened. After 6 years like this my family and his started to say he was using me as we did everything couples do except live together. They constantly questioned me about where we were going, if we had a future etc. They semed to blame me where it was his decision to not have us move in. I told him to please talk to them as I was under so much pressure from everybody. Last year I lost my job unfairly and was considering legal action. I was in such a mess and told him he could do better than me as I was a nothing and a nobody (I was very depressed) After 5 weeks I found another job but found out he had secretely asked another girl out. He said he was so sorry,it was becuase I said he could do better. We stayed together, I said we need to move this relationship up as engaged now for 4 years and still no
improvement on living together. I decided to get out from the pressure of my parents and buy my own home. He agreed and helped me with the deposit saying we would have our own place (even though he already lives alone) so he could live with me. During this his pal, became ill with Cancer - he dealt with this by cutting himself off from me saying he was going through a terrible time and his job was possibly being cut too. I said should we have a break so he could deal with the situation, he said he couldnt handle any external pressure namely me as I was asking him when I coud stay the night (getting angry in the process as he didnt undertsand why I felt used for sex) After two months of not seeing him properly, I asked him what was going on and he said everytime he saw me he gets stressed out. I have stood by him through two fatal accidents, his workload, his ups and downs etc and was finally at breaking point. I found out that a younger girl (20 yrs
younger) had asked him out and he was seeing her. she told me to get lost he was with her now!!
She text me lots of vindictive messages and he did not stop it. He said he was at his lowest when he met her and wants us to get back together. the house I bought went through when he was with her. I am on my own now doing it up, his work found out about them and sacked him. He has now had to move away for work. Is this my fault and how do I get us back together.
When I asked him why he did this, he said because I told him I would be leaving after another year if things didn?t change a bit, also he was at his lowest point in life because of his pal dying. He told me he only got engaged to me to keep me until somebody better came along. After 6 months we started talking again and he said he didnt mean anything he said. have now found out he is seeing somebody abroad; I saw their photo on face book. I confronted him and he has just said he doesnt want to hurt me.
Now though, he is with this other woman moving on. The girl he cheated on me with has moved onto her next target without a care in the world. I am left holding the bag all on my own. She broke us up like a tornado and has now left a path of destruction. How do I get my life on track, I have not many pals and am very alone. I see her everywhere happy and smiling whereas I have just lost the bset thing I ever had and I cant cope with the loss. Her ex told me she is destructive. She breaks up families and moves on. Now my guy and I are in different countries and moving on. How do I move on to? I just cant take this.

Wow! Sorry about your pain. There are times in someones life where they need to move on… This is one of those times. Don’t focus so much on your past… put more stock in your future. Look forward to new beginnings, better love and a stronger life.
There are men out there that have more love and compassion to offer then this man you were with. Men are a fickle creature, I know I’m one of them, we tend to have our life and our companion. I have been through hell and back twice before I met the woman I should have found 10 years ago.
Take 2 years to heal yourself before attempting to find another man. Find a man who is open, honest, and committed to YOU. Save marriage for 3 years. You will find those things that drive you crazy in that relationship. If they are things you can live with and not change, then marry.
A person will only change themselves if they want to. It can not be forced by someone else. That is where most relationships fail. Dishonesty is another. Just remember never to hold back anything. Slowly get to know someone through dating leaving everything open and honest. If this person finds that your flaws are live able, you find a stronger relationship.
Think of the cheating as a loyalty test, he went and betrayed you for another woman, he had a choice, so did she, and he picked her.
Sound to me like you tried very hard to make a non starter relationship work. This guy has deep issues with commitment. There was probably nothing you could have done to turn him.
Live on. Look for a genuine loving partner, one who will marry you. Don’t continue to bang your head against the wall ! Start over, life is good.
Good God, lady, why didn’t you run as far as you could from this guy four years ago? Turn around, walk away, screw everyone else and what they think, and get on with your life. You’ve already wasted far too much time on this clown. If he turned his back on you once with someone else, don’t think for a moment that he won’t do it again…after you marry him.
Walk away. Now.
