be true to you own feelings

Quote From: jeckyl51

Well, I am in love with a 38 year old woman and she says she is in love with me.  I don't doubt her commitment as she is a sincere and honest person.  She does not have one problem.  She has never been married and does not have experience in dating.  She was shy growing up and probably a little self conscious.  She is now heavy and has not dated in some time.  She appreciated the fact that her weight is not a problem with me and thinks we are a good fit.  She tells me that see just wants to be sure.  She wants me to help her lose weight then she wants to date other guys to be sure we are right for each other.  My problem is I really love her.  Am I blinded by love?  Am I an idiot?  Should I invest the time to see if she will gain this experience and decide to be with me?  Is there something wrong with her thinking?  Is there something wrong with my thinking?  I'm confused.

I think you are a great person by already being patient with her and looking at her inner beauty and not her weight.  I think you should be more clear with her, tell her that if you are not what she is looking for, or if she is using you just as a stepping stone, then that she lets you free and you can focus your energy in somebody that thinks you are also worth it.

 

Success....

It is not your job to help her lose wight because it is a lifestyle choice and something she has to want and achieve for herself.  You can be supportive, however. What I don't understand is why she needs to date someone else in order to be sure about you? When I said tha,t did it make any sense to you? Probably not.  Just because you love someone does not mean you have to settle for whatever the person you love is dishing out.  Love does not mean settling for nonsense.  Perhaps if you think thatt her dating others to validate you  is ok, you should do some serious self-reflecting and figure out why  your esteem is that low.
