Quote From: nomoreliesYou have quite a way with words...you should be a writer! I'm turning 24 in May, and he'll be 26 in Feb. We got drunk last night, the baby was at his biological fathers. We talked a lot and I'm still undecided. He really is a great guy most of the time, he treats me better than anyone ever has...but when I do find something out, it's always REALLY bad. He agrees that we should go to counselling...he wants to get himself figured out as well. I asked him AGAIN if he was gay (when he was drunk because I can get more out of him) and he said no but he's still curious. I don't think it's healthy for him to supress everything, and I sure as hell am not willing to experiment with him. I'm just not that kind of girl. He wanted me to be there if he ever tried anything, but I'm not comfortable with that, and he doesn't need me to hold his hand while he experiments. He said that Aiden (my son) and I are his life, and he understands that this is his fault and he screwed up big time. The thing that scares me the most is that no matter what the outcome is of all this...things will never be the same again. I don't know if I can trust him and that's no way for a relationship to work. This is our second go at it....maybe I should just leave and realize that it didn't work then, it's not working now, it'll never work in the future. I still feel that we are soulmates, we have an undeniable connection, and it's soooo hard to leave. I'm 3000 miles away from my friends and family, plus I would have the grief of telling Aiden's father that I'm moving home. I only moved out here in Oct....and being a good father he followed us. And now I might be moving back. I feel like a horrible person to do this to him. Thanks for all your advice, and I'm sorry to unload all my crap, but I needed to get it out
well, thank you for your compliment, first of all!
second, as i said before, i just feel for you so much. you both sound like cool people and i know how wonderful it is to have a soulmate and have someone who cares for you and your son. i know that your predicament is scary and upsetting to consider another move and all. and i know it's heartwrenching to think about leaving this man. i see how you defend him and he clearly has a very nice side to him. but girl, it's like you said, the bad stuff is REALLY bad. you have to decide what you are willing to put up with. is it worth it to have him in your life when you know all of the "bad stuff" exists? can you really continue a lasting relationship knowing that he might be gay, that he has lied and lied to you- possibly about the STD and who knows what else, and that he admits he wants to "experiment". which is fine if he does-- he really needs to figure out his sexuality-- but no, not with you by his side NOR with you sitting by and waiting for him to come home from the gay bar.
i just have this thing about needing to feel content and safe in my relationship, knowing that my husband is trustworthy and honest and doesn't have any secrets up his sleeve. you are young. just know that if you do decide that these are the things that you want for yourself too, it is very possible!! i was 30 when i met my husband. i waited and was patient for a looong time (it seemed). i don't believe in settling for anything but TOTALLY what you want and deserve. the guy i referred to who caused me stress, etc- well, i was crazy about him too. but ulitimately the bad stuff outweighed the good, and then i went on to meet my wonderful husband.
anyway. take care. and do keep in touch! (on here- haha)
