Breaking-up

[Edwin]

I inadvertently lied on an earlier post. I said my wife and I will shortly have been married 43 years, but it will be 42 years. We were married August 31st 1968.

I had many girlfriends before we got married. I usually got me feelings hurt and ended it. But Carol and I didn't go together long enough nor were we with each other long enough for me to get my feelings hurt, so now it is almost 42 years. I usually ended it over hurt feelings as I was very sensitive. Two girls dumped me in the process. One wrote me a letter and told me that her father did not approve of me. The other was a girl that I admired, but I had no idea that she liked me. She wrote me this letter telling me that she couldn't live without me and she was very much in love with me. She couldn't wait to hug and kiss me, and she called me all kinds of sweet names. It was a shock because I didn't even know she liked me even though we attended the same church and saw each other often. Before I had a chance to see her I got another letter from her telling me that her father did not approve, and so she guessed it was all over with. I had two fathers who didn't like me. The one was the pastor of that church, and the funny thing is that a few years later my wife and I pastored that church for a few years, and he said something to me that told me that he still didn't like me. He and his daughter are now both dead, which is sad. They were our friends too and a lot of their relatives were our friends.

Breaking up is painful. If only you are not ready for a commitment then better not to involve in a relationship. It really make you sick

Yes, breaking up is painful, and time will heal.
