I really appreciate your advice. It is really hard to just move one. I have been through alot of crap in my life and he showed me more and better things in life. I know he is confused and I know he wants to come home but he is scared-but i am willing to let him deal with his issues and ready for him to come home when he is. I know I should move on but i am done at this point. It took me 5 yrs to want to be with another person and then i found him. He has also been through alot and i know we are good for each other but i think he needs to realize it. I need to give him time to miss me but its hard b/c i need to see him- i am very greatly depressed and things are not getting any better for me. He is not saying he is not coming home but he is also not giving me false hopes-in my heart and mind i feel he will be home . I dont know what else to do-i know he loves me-he is a great person-what do i do? i cant just move on-

LadyGoodman answered Wednesday November 2 2005, 12:08 am: If you really do feel that he loves you, it's perfectly okay to give him time regardless of what other people tell you, but if weeks turn into months, and then months turn into a year... I really do suggest that leaving it behind would be for the better. Waiting for someone is an incredibly kind, selfless gesture and is the best way to show one's love, but waiting too long can cross the line of self respect, and then you can't enjoy that love because you are so unhappy. Take this time that you have without him to try to learn to be happy without him...that way if and when he does come back, you will be able to enjoy his love and your life that much more. Keep in contact with him, and try not to bring up the subject too much. The more you pressure him, the longer it will take for him to make a decision. I hope I helped!
