Love help: Why me… what is wrong with me? - Help.com

Why me…

what is wrong with me? I was married at the age of 25 and just weeks after my 5 month anniversary, my wife went on an outing with her friends and cheated on me. When she came back from her trip she said that she didn’t love me anymore so I moved out. I wasn’t until 2 months later I found out she cheated on me. I waiting almost a year before I dated again, and I found a woman that seemed so perfect for me… then 4 days ago, without any warning, she tells me that she loves me and I am everything she looks for in a man/relationship but she was confused and couldn’t go on seeing me but we’ve been together for 10 months. It’s killing me, what the hell is wrong with me… I’ve always been outgoing, fun, openminded, what is it I have to do. I try so hard to make my partner happy and without any warning they drop the bomb on me. If there is something wrong why don’t people talk to me about it? Why does it scare me so much? Why does it hurt so much? I don’t expect any answers but I need to get this out… I just am so confused.

Relationships aren’t always secure. I doubt there is anything wrong with you. Perhaps you should look at yourself a little more and do what feels right for you. Don’t give yourself to everyone. You should try to find a balance of making your partner happy and making yourself happy. Don’t forget, the only person who will be with you for your entire life, is you.

Do not leave yourself too open and vulnerable to women. Sometimes they like it when a man is a little tough and rough. A lot of ******* (I am one, a lesbian, also) take men for granted and when they get bored they just dump him to the side. Maybe you’re letting too much of yourself out. You have to make for some mystery so there is still something they don’t know about you but they can find out when you’ve hit the 25 year anniversary mark. Maybe you should find someone a little below your expectations that will ADORE you and yearn for you. Instead on people out of your league. Or- *******

i hope your feeling a little bit better today. =) i think that, well it takes two to make a relationship work and not just one person, even if you do all the right things. maybe in your previous marriage, it didnt work out because she wasnt “all” there, and it had nothing to do with you. and this relationship your in now, get out before its too deep. you dont want to be in a relationship where your dragged along for the time being while she is confused and trying to figure her emotions and whatnot. Im not implying that you should never be in a relationship with this woman, but simply stating let her be until she “settles” down and is content and ready to take on love and continue on with the relationship, because if you dont it only leaves you in a “turmoil” of confusion and troubles. i hope all works out and if they dont and you still feel its you, ask them =) let us know what happens next =)

The key is to realize that they are not ready for you.

Define the woman you desire to be with, then become the kind of man that would attract that kind of woman. Develop yourself. Your communication, your wisdom, your financial understandings, your talents, gifts, handshake, your written communication, your dress code and then watch out. :)

I agree with mystrategicadvisor. When I met my husband, neither of us was looking for a boyfriend/girlfriend, let alone spouse. He said he was working on himself, trying to learn how to love people. Meanwhile, I was in my corner trying not to get into another bad relationship. We decided right away we weren’t playing games with each other. A lot of it is meeting the right person, and a lot of it is being the right person. Don’t give away the whole store right away. Good luck.
