It seemed like she couldn't wait any longer. I was reading your story, and I truly felt the love you had for this girl, except I kept waiting for you to mention how exactly you were going to make living next or with each other possible, but you never did. I know you said she was the one who was going to make the move, but what were you sacrificing is where I am trying to go with this. Know what I mean? This is where I felt uncertain in your story, And maybe, just maybe, she felt the same way and maybe she couldn't take it anymore?
Again, forgive me for assuming anything, I don't mean too and I am pressed for time but you did ask for a females point of view and that was the first thing that popped into my head, so I gave you my point of view. I apologize in advance if I assumed anything wrongly.
stratamaster78 said:The worst part is for some reason all of our mutual Facebook friends continue to talk to her and be friends with her while they have coincidentally given me the cold shoulder? I did nothing wrong and everyone has seemingly shunned me. Two of them I knew years before even she did. I pm'd them last night just as an innocent 'hello how are you guys doing' and got no response from them even though I can see they read it. But today they had time to talk in length with her??
The only thing I can think of, and honestly, I'm probably wrong about this, but maybe they know she's cheating on you and they can't face you? But that's messed up that they can talk to her no problem. That is very messed up. I would like to know why they aren't talking to you either. If you ever find out, let us know, keep us updated. Did you ever just think to come out right and ask any of your friends, why?
With the sacrificing/moving situation both parties have to be willing right? So I'll use that as my setup to answer you about this part. It's complicated though. I admit she's in a tough spot. She lives with her father and is his caretaker because he is blind and she also has a live in roommate that helps with rent and taking care of her father. The roommate was only going to be there temporarily though and move back out this past Dec/Jan. So one of my 1st suggestions was that I would move to NYC to live with her and that I understand that her and her father are kind of a 'package deal' and that I'm fine with that. At first she was contemplating that but then said she didn't think we should try that because if I had trouble getting a job for too long her Father would not like me and there would be problems because of past Boyfriends who lived with her and were unemployed 'bums' that mooched off her. So she's assuming the worst there and comparing me unfairly to past boyfriends there.
Now as for me I have also been a caretaker. But my situation has been doubly tough because my Mom got Cancer 4 1/2 years ago and even after beating it became basically disabled and on oxygen. My Dad also in that same time became disabled himself because of back problems and neuropathy. So I had to take a sabbatical from working the last 4 years to take care of them both full time. They had so many daytime Doctors appointments and needs that there was no time in the day for me to be able to work. I even tried a night shift job for 5 months and it was about to make my body shutdown only getting 4 hours sleep a day trying to juggle all these things. She knew all of this well ahead of time. That I was at my parents not working a 'job' but taking care of them. Then my Mom finally succumbed to her sickness on Aug 31st and passed away. I didn't even have time to properly grieve yet before she flew down here to spend a week with me in Sept. But I put on a brave face and tried to show her a good time and the week here was great. I wanted her to like Alabama so she would move here since me moving to New York was nixed earlier.
Then 3 weeks later in Oct. while she's in New York professing her Love for me and how she can't stand us being apart my Father has a psychological breakdown over my Mom's death and has to be put in a Psych ward for a week. He was hallucinating at talking to people who were not there and falling down and hurting himself and keeping me up all night for days until I could get him admitted. When he was released I had to get him into some follow up programs to make sure he was going to get back to normal. Yet also I was in the process of updating my resume and searching for possible jobs now that I only had to look after him and also get my career back on track to afford her moving down here with her Dad. I even emailed her my new resume so she could see I was making an effort to get things in motion in spite of ALL the other major crap life had been throwing my way.
That was also right when she mysteriously went 180 cold on me and quit talking to me as much. When I brought up her moving here she said she didn't think she could just take her Father to go live with 2 men he didn't know at all. Keep in my I met her Dad when I visited New York. He was very sweet and asked to feel my face (again he's blind) and he hugged me. But she continuously announces on social media how she's ready to leave New York. So she's going to have to go somewhere? Her dad will be with her too. When she posted on Facebook 3 weeks ago that she had narrowed her choices to California or Texas with Alabama not being listed I went into NC and blocked her.
She built up some kind of resentment towards me because in her eyes she was working and taking care of a blind father but I was ONLY taking care of a disabled father but NOT working but yet ignoring the fact I WAS looking for work.
So yeah I was willing to make sacrifices. I was willing to do whatever it took for all 4 of us to live together here in Alabama, or New York, or anywhere else in the United States. But she formed whatever opinions she formed and froze me out and gave up on me......if she really even loved me in the first place. I just still don't know what happened. I would have sacrificed whatever I needed to to be with her.
Oh and a final point. She wasn't doing the things required to move out of NYC then or now. She kept saying she was saving for a car yet she buys $60 brand new PS4 video games right and left and eats out at restaurants/bars and gets drinks and goes to concerts, and ski trips, and club dances. If you want to SAVE for a CAR. You cut your expenses. You buy $10-15 used video games, you cook food at home instead of eating out. You grab a bottle from a liquor store and make drinks at home instead of buying shots or drinks at bars, you don't go to concerts and ski trips etc etc. She lives in one of the most expensive cities in America and lives it up every day and night blowing her money. So I would ask her if I could.....where is SHE sacrificing to move?
As for the friends. With two of my closest friends it turned out to just be a miscommunication. They said they had just not had a chance to sit down and reply to my PM yet and they didn't know what all the woman had done to me lately even though they sensed something was up. I talked with them both a few nights ago on the phone for an hour. They are a married couple and they told me they felt she was using me and that they had my back 1st and foremost and that any interaction they had with her was politeness. They told me I should stay away from her and move on like most here have.
As for the Texas 'friend' I still don't know what's up there. I tried texting him and he didn't reply. I PM'd him on Facebook and he said he phone was off until Friday. I said well how about let's skype? Then he said his headset's microphone is broke and he has to get a replacement......yet he's one of the biggest 'online' gamers I know. Something still feels shady there like he's avoiding me because he knows I'm going to ask him what the deal was with her going there and staying with him 2 weeks ago.
