[QUOTE=Bruce's_Mom]It is I think time to move on...This is just a bit hard for me. For the past three years of this relationship I have held out a lot of hope, because I genuinely love this person. For the past three years I have forgiven him for: abandoning me when I need him most, for breaking up with me at nearly every significant time in my life (day of law school graduation, my birthday, numerous other times), for putting me behind every other person and thing in his life, for refusing to accept responsibility for himself, for thinking about no one but himself (except for maybe mommy), for taking advantage of me financially, for putting me down, etc. QUOTE]
First off let me say...It feels kind of weird to be commenting when I have never spoken to you but your post really touched me because my friend went thru something like this...but she married the guy, and sadly it has not changed for her. But what really made me want to comment was you saying that he has broken up with you at nearly every significant time in your life. You think maybe that he has broken up with you then because he knows he can not be the man you need...he KNOWS you want him there at the "big" days...but he also knows that he is not able to be free of his mom. maybe he thinks breaking up with you is easier than disappointing you with his no-shows. And I am by no means justifying what he has done, personally I think he needs to grow a spine..but hey that is just me! Deep down you know what is right for you..and you will do what you need to do, in the end. My thoughts and prayers are with you..keep your chin up, everything happens for a reason.
