Well....
I guess that is that. What a bittersweet day.
My smiley faced Peter wasn't so happy I guess. I don't think either of us were completely happy. So, we are no longer together. :(
I guess I just couldn't give him what he wanted to be happy....
We are two very different people, and I guess it is pretty important to find someone you have a lot in common with. We really did give it a try, for 6 months. We even talked about marriage, had colors picked out., and started making our lists of invites.
I guess I felt like oftentimes we just thought of everything so differently. We had different ideas of how to live the gospel, different ways we liked to pass the time (we tried each others interests but that just didn't pan out...), different ways of expressing love and affection....for some reason all these differences just made it so that we had a hard time gelling in some ways...
What I am grateful for is that he showed me what a real man does :) In other words, despite me throwing up many walls, he came at me full force and didn't let anything or anyone stop him lol.....I am grateful that he tried so hard and that he had such noble goals to get married and have a family (which are my goals too) instead of just messing around and flirting with everything that walks. He made me see the light a bit, and I'm not going to mess with any guys that aren't serious about that anymore.
I'm grateful that he was so kind to me in many ways. He did all he could to make the relationship work. He changed a lot of things about himself that were making it hard for me at least...
He is pretty solid. Good guy. Sweet and strong at the same time. I hope he can find someone who he is happy with in the future.
Good luck Petey <3
i love how you can already point out and see all the good that came from it and not just think of it as a waste of time. cuz of course it wasn't :) love you!
ReplyDeleteI think it's sometimes harder to gel with someone who does have a lot in common with you. He sounds like a great guy and that you guys did enjoy your time together. It's always nice to have people like that in your life, even if it is for just a little bit
ReplyDeleteps- the "he did all he could to make the relationship work" part, make sure you look for that in the next guy. That kind of attitude carries on, even through marriage.
