Losing hope?

Question

Can anyone out there share an inspirational story of love? I'm so sick of hearing what dirtbags guys are and how it never works out! I'm losing hope. If there is anyone that survived huge obstacles and ended up with, well...a happy ending and actually got the person of their dreams, please share. I need some good news!!

Answer 1

I can tell you about my mother. She is from WV and was engaged to a guy about 12 years older than her (she was 16). He left for the war and a year later she met my daddy and married him. When John came back from war, he was so heart broken and he never married and never had any kids. Now, this man (my father) my mother married, turned into an alcoholic, abuser, and womanizer. My mother divorced him, although she had four kids, and I was two. We were raised on welfare. She never remarried because she didn't trust men. When I was 20, I joined the Army and my mother went to WV to visit her mother. While there, a man was walking down the road and said, "Hello Dorothy". Yes, it was John, the first man my mother was engaged to. A year later, they were married and have been married every since! They have now been happily married for 20 years. It amazes me that John waited for her all that time, and they actually finally got together.

Isn't that amazing?

Answer 2

okay...let me start at the beginning. I met my husband in may of 06, and was very carefull NOT to fall for him. i had had a lot of boys put me in the hospital over the years with their abusive ways and really didn't want to be caught up in another abusive realtionship with a guy i thought was ok. but instead of being drawn away by my distance, he tried harder. he showered me with love and affection, everyday all day. he would call me when he was going to work just to tell me that he hoped i would have a great day and that he really couldn't wait until our date that night. even if we wouldn't go out and do something he still made me feel like i was being spoiled. he went over and beyond the call of duty. he makes me feel like the most beautiful woman alive and like i should have never been not listened to or hurt. he comes home (he's in the army) in aug. for his R&R and when he talks to me on the phone from Baghdad, sometimes he cries b/c he misses me so much. i know that sounds kinda corney but i've never met a man that could make me feel the way he does, i've never met a man that can cry b/c im hurting, or actually care about what i have to say. i never thought i'd get married (i didn't want to and told all my friends so) but when i got with him i've never looked back. I'm truely happy now and can't wait to grow old with the man who made me whole. I love my Hubby!!!

Answer 3

Their are lots of great guys out there, it's where you look that counts. I have a great guy, he is far from perfect as am I. We work at our marriage everyday and neither of us will give up on our marriage. It has paid off and after over 36 years we don't have to work so hard because we listened to each other through the years and things run quite smooth now. Hang in there your guy is just around the corner.

Answer 4

All my life I have wanted to live in a small town. Marry a man whom I love endlessly and him feel the same about me. Own my own home. Have my kids be able to walk safely to school. And live a dull boring life.
I finally am getting that.
I have a very nice life. Most of the time. LOL
I just want to get married right now. He doesn't.

Answer 5

well, i dunno if my story would help or not. me and my fiance have been together for almost 2 and 1/2 years. this past week, he planned to take me out to Pittsburgh to see Nickelback as my late christmas gift. on the way to pick me up, his car broke down and wasn't able to get it fixed. i was really upset about it too, but how was he suppose to know that his car was gonna break down? that caused a whole giant uproar with my family. they think that he didn't really want to go and was just making excuses and that he treats me like **** and blah blah blah. they even insisted i leave him. this has happened more than once, but i've still stuck by him. i know i could find someone else if i wanted to, but i choose not to b/c i love him too much to leave him. it seems like i am the only one who has any faith left in him. he has it rough too. he's trying to get through school and trying to get out on his own and i admire him for that, especially with the way his parents treat him. as i said earlier, i dunno if my story helps at all, but if it does, i'm glad. don't lose hope or faith for that matter. don't live up to anyone else's standards except for your own. that's what i'm starting to realize

Answer 6

Hi! Don't lose hope. Never lose hope. I'll give you the short version of my story. When I was 21, I moved to another state to be with a guy, this guy lied about his age (by 15 years) and his name (I found out shortly before I left). I left him after 6 years, moved back home. Met a guy through a friend and decided to get married. We did, initally the guy said he wanted kids, then changed his mind. I found out I was pregnant, he asked me to get an abortion. I said, "NO". Then, after he lost his job, kept staying out til 4 in the morning nightly and making my life a living hell, I miscarried. I divorced him 2 years later. I was working at a mortgage company and certain people would go out after work, so I joined them a few times playing volleyball. I got drunk at this one place, injured my foot and told this one guy that I liked him. Yep, someone I worked with, BAD idea. So, after that the group from work went out a few more times and Eric and I hung out, he drove me home and we had some serious (drunken) talks. Seemed like he was connecting with me on an emotional level, but I found out from another work friend that he was sleeping with her friend (who was only 20). This guy was 35. He was using her for sex. So, I felt used, too. Then, this married mom from work, told me how sorry she felt for me. She asked me what I was looking for. So, she came to work with the name of her brother in laws friend and said, I could meet him if I wanted, but he didn't want kids, but was moving to AZ. I was actually toying about moving to AZ before ever hearing about this guy, so it would've been perfect had he wanted kids. So, I said that I would pass, because I wanted kids. So, a week later, she comes back up to me with this blue business card with some big long Polish last name on it and said this is another friend of her brother in law, never been married, owns his own home, is a CPA. Ok, so, I called, we went out...we got married, I don't have to work, and am 5 months pregnant with our first baby and I am in love (true love) with my hubby. So, don't lose hope. Just be confident in yourself and what you want and you will find it. :)
