Giving her space and time is hard to do

New member
She's 37 and I'm 29. I broke of the relationship a few months back because I didn't know if I had what it would take to be with her and her 7 yr old daughter for the rest of my life. Being away from them made me homesick and miss them miserably. I wanted my "snuggle buddies" back. This woman made me realize that a family is what I really want.
When I finally came back around to step up to the plate so to speak it was too late in her mind. She was devastated that I left her and her kid once that she didn't want to take the chance of going through that again. By the time I let my walls down she had put hers up.
She's been extrmeley overwhelmed by the fact that I propsed to her, told her I could get that house she's always wanted and start a family of our own. I even got her daughter a little ring of her own because my gf always said that if any man where to marry her he get the family too. So when she saw that I got a little ring for her daughter she couldn't stop crying because no one had ever done that.
The last time I saw her her kid told me that "I sleep my mom at night because she crys in her sleep when you are not here" That ripped my heart apart. This past week I layed it all on the line to her. I told her I will give her the space and time she needs and when she's ready to have me back in her and her kid's life it will be forever.
I love her enough to respect her wishes. I haven't been calling or going to her place unannounced beacuse I want her to realize I'm good for my word. It's by far the hardest thing I have to do. She did leave me a promissing messege this weekend that she and her daughter miss me a lot, she thinks about me all the time and she will think about everything that I offered her. She also said that no man has been so willing to accept both her and her daughter and she knows that no one like me will come around again. All she asked is that I give her time and space so she can focus on her and her kid
All I know is that we get through this nothing else should be an issue. I only live 20 min away from them but seems like half a world. Just want get back to the days where I can listen to her daughter read to me then read her a bedtime story to put her to sleep.
Would like to hear from some of the ladies on here. Specially starfish, you always have something worthwhile to say.
 
Well, I'm not a woman but I hope everything goes well. Accepting a woman and her child is a very noble thing to do. There is not many men out there willing to accept a "ready made" family. My sister found one of those men and she has been extremely happy for the last five years. Just give it time SD and if it was meant to be, it will happen. Patience is a virtue!

Side note: My wife and I dated for few months then we broke up and hated each other for two years. We wound up dating again for six years then got married and have been for 15 years. Things happen for a reason.

Love is like a butterfly....set it free......if it comes back...it's yours....If it doesn't....it never was. Kind of sappy I know but it makes a lot of sense!

You are right

Good things come to those who wait! Keeping occupied is the thing to do IMO. You never know what you have until it is gone. That goes for her too!
Good luck and if you need to talk, pm me!
 
I too, am a single mom, and I have a 7 year old daughter and I would have cried too if a man had bought me and my daughter both a ring....

You sound like a really sweet guy and she'd be crazy to let you go.... it's hard to find guys that will genuinely care about a woman AND her "package deal" and really mean it......

Much appreciated and I'm sure you will here from me. Another thing is that I know the ex-husband/father and he's a good guy. In fact he approves of me being around his daughter. he's even told her that she could be missing out if she doesn't get back together. but the last thing she need is all her friends asking her why this and why that.
 
I agree with everyone who posted above.. She is probably scared of getting hurt.. Give her time and keep doing what you are doing.

A ring for her little girl..You are too cool:D
