I'm in love with a woman that is engaged

15 years ago

I'm a young man. A little over a year ago i started a new job. On my first day i met this very beautiful young woman. Well i found out that she had a boyfriend and they had been dating on and off for 3 years. So i pretty much gave up. Well we got to know each other from talking at work all the time. Towards the end of Jan into Feb they had some problems. They was still together though. Well one day at work she got my phone number from another person. We started textng while we was at work and when she went home to this guy. Well they broke up. After about two weeks i asked her to come over and hang out with me and some friends. She did. Nothing happened we just hung out. But soon after. She went back to him cuz he promised to change. Well then over the next 3 months we would text and flirt constantly. In this time he asked her to marry him. She accepted. But she still flirted big time with me. Once again they had some troubles. Everyone at work could see there was something there and kept telling me to make a move. Well one day we was getting ready to go home. We started having one of our tickle fites we'd always get into. Well she won. She got me pinned on the ground crying. When she finally let me up. I grabbed her and took her behind a wall. Pinned her against the wall tickeled her and then i kissed her. Then the next nite she came and hung out with me again. At the end of the nite i walked her to her car. We got in and started to talk. We ended up kissing again and not as friends. The next day they broke up. After a week we started dating. We had so much fun together. We went out for a lil over a month. We both fell in love with each other. But her parents would poke and prod at her to go back to him. She couldn't take her parents doing that so she went back. For the next 3 months i would go see her at work everyday since we worked at different places now. She would still touch me the way she did, The way she looked at me she could tell me i love you with her eyes. We would still kiss every so often. She even said she loved me quite a few times. One day bout a month and a half ago they got in a fite and he said it was either me or him. She chose him. We went bout 3 weeks without sayin a word. Then one day i sent her a message and she replied. Now for the past month we've been talking daily and we'll see each other bout 2-3 times a week. IN this time she has kissed me and she has told me that she loves me but not as much as him. She tells me that about everyday she thinks she'd rather be with me than him. I had found out so much about her in the begining that i realized she is more than i had ever dreamed of. She is PERFECT!!! Shes the woman i wanna spend my life with. She tells me that she thinks that sometimes too. I just don't know what to do anymore. My life isn't the same without her. What can i do to get her back? Any advice?

Actually she is not perfect in every way. There is a glaring red flag that you are choosing to pretend does not exist.

She has a glaring lack of integrity. And honor.

Imagine that you are engaged to the love of your life. And imagine that the two of you are planning your wedding, and your life together. Only to find out that your bride to be is playing all sorts of games with a guy she works with. And hanging out at his place when you thought she was somewhere else.

Not any guys idea of perfect.

On the other hand, if you sit and wait for awhile even after she's married, I imagine you will hear from her. You have helped to create this situation where she will always wonder if she made the right choice. When married life is less than she imagined it to be, I imagine she will call you.

And if you win her, and real life creeps in with houses to clean, food to buy and prepare, and dishes to wash, and laundry up to her knees...will you begin to wonder if she is playing games with some new guy at work? Because real life has a way of creeping in and surprising us with its responsibilities and stuff everyone has to do, that is not what any of us realized we were signing up for when those wedding bells rang.

The perfect woman (or man) is someone who behaves in a way that shows they are worthy of trust, and that they are people of integrity and honor, even during the hard times.

If she cheats, and is less than trustworthy in the good times ( and I would call being engaged to be married the good and fun times) what can you expect with such a person during the hard times, or simply boring days of life????????

Maybe she really has chosen the wrong guy to marry. Instead of fooling around with you, (while engaged to another man) she should have the integrity to end the engagement, and take some time to get really clear on what she is doing and why.

I am absolutely in agreement with Bnicebkind. She has said it all--well, almost. She did not comment on your integrity and honor.

Thanks Shadow. T. Johnson & P. Black seem to be moving into some great looking iris (IMO) ~~~ seems that hybridizers hit a stride. Maybe it's their move to Oregon that did it! I had the front tree removed and some clay while they were at it. So I'm happily digging that area and what does a shovelful of soil bring up but a gopher! Shocked me, and the cat! She chased him/her up the street. Hoped I'd seen the last of those critters. Now I don't feel so bad about not ordering this year. And maybe I've disrupted the tunnel to the side bed where they so happily ate my new ones 2 years ago. Along with every non-daffodil bulb!

Ladies may I join you in this discussion? I am a young healthy looking 62. And today is my first visit here after looking up adrenaline I sure understand better now That's what I have going on MY NATURE'S PACE MAKER.working. Adrenaline After a stay in icu heart recently everyone finally agreed i am mot crazy.it was.my heart. The docs installed is a device catch my heart acting badly is a heart tracker like halter monitor. Under my chest muscles on top of my heart. I can cause it record what just happened.. iam write with excitment because your stories are all so familiar. These stories for me begin after mitral valve repair. 7 years ago. Basic problem ..unless the doc sees the heart behaving badly they deny the problem. All this time we never could catch it Last doc said bluntly if we dont see it didnt happen. You must to er Well recent at 230 am it woke me up, just as you have described. I went directly to the er They caught the serious thing! Arrithemia and more then two days in icu. Now meds have slowed my heart from 70 to 52 while docs decide what to do. Last night I realized I was having an adreilin rush. The same rush I went to a neurologist for help. Over a year and half. Often it also affect my skin. Goose bumps crawling feeling all day long! Well have I got news for him.I was not crazy about that either. my gp I visited last month just to say. I know you don't know what is wrong but I still got it. Knows too I sat in neros office two months ago ,,,same thing. I said dr i just want you know ME when I end up in er..and i need you. well it was er straight to icu. Home now with electrical issues. Last last night meds have my average at 52 bpm.it woke me. 2 3 am. I use my tricks to get back to sleep.as soon as felt sleep coming on the stomach feeling spread. It woke me up heart pounding.sweat .out of breath!!! Happened several times . then checked average heart rate on my Garmin. 48. Average 48 so i was probably lower. Maybe 45! My natural pace maker kicked in every time sleep lowered bpm and I was short on air. Natural pace maker? Adrenaline can't wait to see what was recorded on my device Thank you body! Now I think i know what as going on for long time hidden from doc view. Electric shock adrenaline style

fallen for engaged woman..need advice

I told her how I feel about everything..that i liked her but cannot pursue her, but at the same time she is making a big mistake staying with someone who she's not totally committed to and isn't honest with.. I almost feel like telling her that since she was honest with me she needs to be honest with her fiance..because he doesnt know that we've hung out and she still admits to liking another guy..Although i know we probably wont be more than friends, he should know right? How can you admit to liking someone and still truly be committed to marrying another person..it just doesnt seem right..you can decide for yourself...but i would appreciate advice.. Again she contradicts herself after she wrote this: Dan, So this is a very tough situation. One part of me wants to break up with Dan and never look back. Get to know you more and if we ended up dating, great and if not then maybe I made a great friend. On the other hand I donÂt want to give up 7 years of my life and my best friend. What little time we spent together, I really did enjoy your company. And I would hate to miss out on getting to know you more. BUT you are right; you are a good-looking single guy and I am not a single girl. And even though I want to spend more time with you, I really need to work on my relationship with my fiancÃ©. Weather we get married, or wait awhile till we are ready...I did say yes to him. And I shouldnÂt run away as soon as it gets hard. But as a single good-looking guy you will have no problems finding someone else. I def donÂt want to hurt you, so the best thing for us is to go our separate ways. I did not want you to think I was leading you on, I wasn't. I do like you, but I have a commitment to another guy. And you make it hard to keep that commitment to him. I know it will just be easier for you to find someone else anyhow. You have plenty of girls looking at you, lol. And If Dan and I decide mutually that it isnÂt working out, then I hope its not to late to be your friend. Teaya P.S. I am sure you wont talk to me after this letter, but I just wanted to say thanks for everything.

Great for you, Always confused, you should change your name to "always wonderful", or "always a model for standing up for yourself". I agree with Emily, he has a nerve to say "i will always love you". See, he is manipulating you, trying to make you hang on with a thread to him, leaving you dangling, with that last statement. Its cruel. Throwing away a flippant "I love you" says a lot about his character. Makes you wonder if he says that to his fiance, does he know what it means. It reminds me of that Seinfeld episode, where the group goes up to a holidays house, to look at their friends baby, who turns out to be ugly. Elaine thought the doctor liked her, because he said she was "breathtaking", inflated her ego. Then he said the baby was "breathtaking", and she fell in a heap. The point is, the comment was flippant and the doctor probably said that to lots of people. Perhaps like the fiance cheater. Good luck to you, I look forward to your next posting entitled "In love with a wonderful man". Popi

Wow. Well put Bnice. I have little more to add. What was left out was added by Biwako. Excellent advice.

1. If she'll cheat on him with you, she'll cheat on you with someone else.

2. Sounds like she is very immature. Sounds like you are very immature. I think you should both really examine what you want from life.

Best of luck to you. I'm sure the emotional aspect of this is difficult for you, but try to seperate emotions from logic.

I agree with the above posters.

I also want to say,even if you get the girl,doesnt sound like her parents are ever going to let up on her about who they think she should be with,which isnt you.She couldnt stand up to their pressure once,you really think she'd be able to again???

"i realized she is more than i had ever dreamed of. She is PERFECT!!! Shes the woman i wanna spend my life with. "

Really?
Your dream is to spend your life with a woman who flirts with, tickles, and kisses other men?
Or is it a woman who says she's in love with and agrees to marry someone else.

She may be hot.
She may be funny.
She may be a great kisser, tickler and bedmate.
But she's NOT ready to be anybody's wife.

The other posters are right on target...

she has told me that she loves me but not as much as him.

Do you really want to spend the rest of your life with someone who loves you less than the other guy? Move on!

Anyone else bothered by these new posters on the forum, who post and run, never bothering to respond to their own posts????
rob333 (zone 7b)

not to quibble bnice, but would you respond after all this negative feedback? I can't help but wonder if he's in a corner licking his wounds and hiding out. What could he possibly say? I guess he could post, "You're right. Thanks for letting me know". But that's about it. Especially since he was probably looking for validation for his point?

I just envision him reading it and coming to his senses. Which is what I would hope this help we gave did. :)

I am always amazed about the people who tumble to a sensational sob story posted by someone to get a rise out of the board of advise givers.
It's the "text speak" that gives it all away!
rob333 (zone 7b)

so do you think it's totally made up and they do it.... only to get a rise out of posters? Amazing. What would they get in return? What happens if we ignore it?

P.S. I totally agree. It's why my answer was so short first time around....

It's a twisted sort of voyeurism. Get'em in a lather, watch them foam.

I'm in love with a woman that is engaged
