- Well, I think you know the answers.. at least it seems like
- you do. I have a bad feeling, that this will not work whatsoever.
- Basically, you need to let go, let her know that you do love her, but
- let her make her own decision. If you pressure her too much, she will
- pull away from you. That is not what you want to happen. LDR's are
- very hard, I was in one for a year and a half.... the last 6 months
- were the worse.. I felt lonely and wanted very much to be with my SO.
- It worked out, now he lives with me, so they can work.. but like you
- mentioned, we had a light at the end that we could see. Her ex, is
- also a big problem. They were married... they have a lot of past memories,
- and their relationship, no matter how bad it was, was more serious than
- yours is with her. That's something that is in her mind. Plus, does
- she really love you? I mean, not telling her family about you? That
- sounds kinda weird... if she's so happy with you, she would want her family
- to know that, right? I personally think it's a no win situation... and
- I'd try to pull yourself away from it, and find a healthy relationship
- for yourself!
-
- Just my opinions... doesn't mean it's right!
