I would think that would be much more concerning than the OP's situation.

I should have ran then. Like one of my guys friends said: I'm his guinea pig for dating normal people..."good times" was his quote for that one, lol.

At 35 he is old enough to look at the above behavior and not dismiss it because of his raging hormones like a 20 year old guy would.
seriously??? you're a jerk. I didn't throw a tantrum. I don't throw tantrums. I got emotional...as in, I just cried. no cursing, no accusations, none of that...just cried and said I couldn't shake the feeling that he didn't want me. that's it. I didn't even raise my voice when I said that. Its the kind of break down I have once every 5 years or so. good grief...

I've forgiven him for his mistakes. I don't know if we'll make it past this one though so now I'm venting.
I get that you were hurt but you acted out because you wanted to, not because of pms.


I vaguely remember you saying that you two were at odds about living together before marriage and other values. It doesn't sound like you were on the same page, so he may have done you a favor. You're young and you'll pull through on the other side just fine - no matter how crappy the end is/was. Good luck.

yes I did...I was hurt about something else so it came out in me getting snappy about other things that weren't even issues. The rest of the time, I'm able to be rational. ah well..

we never talked about living together seriously..that was the only value we saw differently on but its not something that can't be compromised on. I was already pretty much living with him part time (stayed there all weekend). Honestly, after seeing what its like to live there part time, I'm starting to change my views, just a little bit.

Exactly. 35 is just hitting the sweet spot for dating unless he's in a place where people marry young.

I'm not sure that's the category I'd put you in based on this thread, but I'm sorry you were hurt.

5 months............................................ ., hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................................ ..,

He probably isn't the one wanting to ever participate in the "3 ring circus".

You'll find many men with this mindset these days.
