Hi

after 13 years in a relationship to a man who doesn't want to get married, but promised to buy a house and to rest lives together.. Changed his mind moved out brought a house and still wants a relationship... I said the relatioshipis over, it was based on a lie, and he is very selfish for what he did.

I just want to be friends.. Now he calls and tell me he misses me and love me... I know he is in denial and doesn't have a girlfriend.. He only wants me, but I say you can't have your cake and it it too.. I want a comittment and I realize he don't.. So what kind of person who still loves me but doesn't want to share their life with me? He still wants to keep the realtionship going in separate houses, even though I say no you hurt and lie to me. Sincerly

Not A Stupid Woman

Good for you for standing your ground! It's hard to stand strong in situations like these, but sometimes we can surprise ourselves with our own strength. I'd say that it is probably best for you to cut off contact with him for a while. Give him a chance to breathe on his own (whether he likes it or not). After he has a bit of time to get over you, he may be ready for something that is just a friendship, but, as any would say, these things take time. If you keep talking to him though, you give him false hope. It's in your best interest to cut off the contact with him, at least for the time being. I wish you the best of luck and I hope everything works out. Stay strong!
