Taking a break (up) from TK :(

TLC1983

Well I'm sure no one remembers but I have posted before about how my BF and I were having problems. He has depression, anxiety, and anger issues, and may be bipolar (not sure yet). He was just starting to go to therapy and after standing by him and keeping our family together (our son is 14 mos) this whole time, he left me. I really thought the therapy would lead to an engagment when the time was right but I guess he decided that our relationship was the problem. Now that he left me he has expressed how he is just realizing how deep his problems go. I tried to explain to him many times that it was his emotional issues making it hard to deal with family life, not the other way around, but he didn't want to believe it. So I will be taking a break from TK until I am actually engaged... to someone else... someday. I look forward to getting my life together again and meeting someone who appreciates me. It may be hard to stay away since this is one of the only sites not blocked on my work computer (ha ha) but goodbye for now and good luck to all you other ladies!

Thanks DS but I think I really do need a break. I work around engaged couples and between that and this website I got way too carried away thinking about the future and not focusing on the problems in the present. I think a mental health break is necessary! Maybe I'll be back before I'm engaged again but not for a while.

Breakups suck, but sometimes they're the best thing that can happen to you.

I'm sorry about your breakup, but sometimes it's for the best. I hope your ex gets the help and treatment he needs to eventually be a good father to your son. And I hope you find the person who is right for you and can make you and your family a priority.

If you chose to stay, you would have such a great support system from these women!

But you are in my prayers and I hope that you get through this time as smoothly as possible.

So sorry to hear about the break-up, I know that it is especially hard with a child.  My exH and I split up while working out a dissolution when my son was about the same age.  It was rough, if you ever want some advice or just a sounding board you can always post here, or send me a PM, just post a *Dwest* ygpm message becasue I never check it!

That being said, I think that if you feel a break from the getting engaged scene is needed then it is probably what is best for you, only you know how you feel about everything.  But, if you ever want to come back, no matter if you are single, dating, engaged...whatever you are always welcome! 

Good Luck to you!
