Well I have a girl friend, also in recovery, both of us over 6 months. We had only met once over the first 3 weeks of face time and amazing conversations!! On a whim, I decided to go visit, only be an hour away. We met the first night, had a wonderful time, a nap and dinner, I thought; then the next morning … I wake up to a text that she didn’t realize how broken she was, and wasn’t ready for my love, and didn’t think she could reciprocate that and I deserved better. However, all this was overwhelming, and something I am ready to work with through these types of situations in a relationship. She just needs time. Is what she tells me now. Its funny, that what she was afraid of happening to her, she did to me. I will be patient, because I really do like her and, want to grow with her, however, I don’t know the amount of time needed, but I’m not getting any younger. Not sure what I should do.
During all this, I conquered the urge to use or drink, and I still have a smile on my face . This is not the first time I have gone through this before so, I have a little bit of experience. I just love too hard , I guess. Can’t find a girl who is ready to be treated properly. It’s weird.
