This thread has gone funnier by the day. First it was a 'good bye' thank you from geg1992 and everyone is trying to comfort him and encourage him not to end it for a lady who abandons him at his darkest time. Now thread has morphed into one about love/romance counselling or 'all you want to know above love', LOL. But I am truly glad geg1992 is alive and well. Give yourself some time, my friend. It is not worth it to die for someone who dumps you at your most helpless point.
Don't believe in true love? Sure. There are plenty bad relationship out there. Can't blame anybody to lose faith in modern love. But there are always different opinions based on different experiences and backgrounds. Tell me about it. I was someone who suffered from anxiety and panic disorder, which started when I was young. So when I was in university, I met a beautiful and caring young lady. She was an angel of a person. She was being courted by the student body president, a powerfully gifted student leader. Me, I worked as a custodian part-time after school hours. I had nothing, no wealthy family behind me, no great look then. She told me years later that I looked like a 'bamboo' at 5'10" weighing only 130 lbs. LOL. I am glad we don't have to do a gladiator fight to win the beauty.
We talked well as school friends and I invited her to jog each morning before class. We talked about our challenges in life. I told her I was that close to be admitted in a nut house before, with anxiety and panic disorder that had kept me house bound for a while before heading to college. I told her I like her but I wasn't sure about my health and that the other guy is gifted and strong. I just told her the truth about myself and let her make an informed decision on her bf. You know what, she chose me, against all odds. We married while in college. Now years later, we are still happily married with grown children & grandchildren. I still hug her and kiss her daily to say goodbye to work and embrace her when I come home. Every phone call during the day starts with 'I love you babe'. She has bad chronic asthma and worse, severe bronchiectasis struggling to breathe. She is only breathing 50% of oxygen a normal person breathes. She cannot work with that poor health. She also gain lots of weigh because of her slow metabolism. But she is forever beautiful to me and I will love and care for her until her last breath. She has done the same for me during the darkest time in my mental struggle and during my tinnitus 'hell'. I don't know if this is true love. But it is good enough for me.
@Martin, you have a great wife. Don't second guess her and her unwavering support for you.
@geg1992, don't give up on life and on love. This is a big world and all sorts of people and experiences out there. There are always 2 sides of the story. To each its own. Lets learn to respect the diversity of experiences and opinions.
