OK, this is going to sound rather strange, but please bear with me. I ,a woman in her early twenties have been in an on/off relationship with a man in his late forties for a few months now. I sometimes love him to bits, and sometimes am rather wary of him. The relationship is in any case going nowhere because he is still in love with his ex girlfriend, who lives back in the US(I am British, he is American but we both live in Britain).
Anyway, I had given us up as a bad job, and wrote as such to my journal on Thursday evening. The next morning, i switched my phone on only to find he had left me a message, and must have called at THE EXACT TIME that I was writing my journal.(my phone was off on Thurs evening). My question-does anyone believe that , just possibly there is an explanation beyond sheer coincidence?(ie some kind of spiritual link?) sounds nuts I know, but still.....?lol
I believe that there are signs from the universe all of the time, we just fail to observe them. If you feel that this is a sign than it may be. I suggest, though, that it is your inner wisdom speaking to you. This appears to be the most important sign that you are ignoring. You have stated that you love him to bits but there are times when you are wary of him. This wariness is your inner wisdom warning you of what is to come if you continue down the path you are going. This man is still in love with someone. It is my experience that when they are like this there is nothing you can do to penetrate that block. He is keeping you at bay for whatever reason. You see he is in love with an illusion. He has glorified this person and isn't going to see what a wonderful opportunity he has with you. It's the pedistal syndrome. I'm sure he cares about you too, but he's stuck. If it were me I'd put him on the backburner. I'm not saying you should cut off all ties. I'm just saying I'd keep open to other opportunities that came your way. He's already told you he's in love with someone else. He certainly can't get angry with you if you were to become involved with other people. It wouldn't be fair of him to think you should be monogamous with him while he is in love with someone else. There are some questions that come to my mind like, what is he doing in Britain? Is he living there permanently or is this a temporary situation? If his living arrangement is a permanent one and he is so in love with this woman, then why is it that he hasn't married her? If this is the case it could be that he has commitment issues. He's using his geographical location to keep him from committing to her and he is using her to keep from committing to you. If it is a temporary situation then this could all be a sweet little distraction for him while he is waiting to go home to be with his true love. If this is the case I would not waste my time on someone who had so little respect for me and my feelings. Think about it, he is so in love with this person yet he thinks it's ok to string you along? This sounds like a man that will rationalize having affairs with people during a permanent arrangement like marriage. Just a thought. I brought these ideas up as food for thought. None of them could apply. There could be all kinds of reasons he is involved with you while being in love with someone else that are totally different from my scenarios. I'm just saying that you should be cautious. Listen to your inner voice. You know in your heart what is best for you. You don't need any signs just listen to yourself.
Namaste,
