kate and everyone waiting

Quote From: killerkate

Hey everyone,
I have been with my man for five and a half years. We have been living together for three of those years. The topic of marriage has come up previously, and recently it has been a huge topic for us.
He doesn't know what he wants. I have told him that I want to get married.
He has indicated that he is depressed and he thinks he isn't good enough for anyone, and especially not me. His family life is non-existant and he has no real positive relationship figure to look up to.
We just spent the last five hours talking about our relationship and both of us have cried because we love each other and we don't know if it will work. He doesn't want to marry right now, he's not sure if he ever will, to me, or to anyone.
He just left to stay at a friend's house because he needs time to think about us.

I am completely heartbroken.
Please help me.
i'm new to the message boards and I'm distressed at what I'm reading. Please take it from someone thats been around for a number of years,(24 yrs of marriage).Ladies where is your self  worth? I think anything over 2 years, you have other issues other than "not ready". Also depending  on a persons age, maturity has a lot to do with it. Kate, I'm sorry your going thru this terrible time, and by your words I'm sure you do truly love him, but sweety how much more are you willing to take? Ask yourself if you love him enough to never  get married? give up your dreams? put your life on hold? Would he do the same for you? Good Luck Ladies!

voice if experience

Quote From: queentween

It may be easy for you to lose weight, but its not easy for everyone. Unlike an alcolhol or drug addiction, a food addiction has to be dealt with in moderation- not complete cessation. It would be like a herion addict just having a little bit to get them through the day- when you are addicted to food, you STILL have to eat to live. If you are addicted to alcohol or drugs, you can remove yourself from situations that make it hard for you to keep clean- but try walking down any street in America and NOT finding a diner, Mc D's, BK, Dunkin D's, Starbucks.....

-Add onto that the fact that cheap food is starchy food- Veggies in America are more expensive than pasta, and cheap cuts of meat are fatty-

-Add onto that the fact that medical conditions and medications pack on the tonage- try having your thyroid out and wow that weight shows up fast!!

-Add onto that stress, insomnia, frustration---------

I agree, inevitably it is up to the individual to conquer this addiciton- but lets not criticize the only group in America who still allows themselves to be criticized without complaining about it and getting action! (Do you think Imus would be out of a job if he said something about fat girls who answered the telephone for minimum wage? Nope!)

I really must say, you speak as though you've walked  down that path. I've honestly said the same thing about food being an addiction  worse than alcohol or drugs. the addiction that you have to control. I speak from years of experience. I most defiantly can sympathize with anyone battling this monster. There is such an astigmatism that goes with being overweight. The hurt, embarrassment, fear, anger and loneliness. I wish all of those fighting this battle..good luck and please know that you are not alone..there are many  of us that have walked in your shoes, more than you know..
