@Copa I guess I can picture that. I work with all white people and some of them are pretty “sheltered” I guess you could say. And when I pipe up with information about other cultures (related to work projects – for example the fact that people speak Arabic and French in Lebanon) they’re like “whoooooaaaaa how did you know that?”
And I’m like “Ummmmm because I don’t just hang out with other white people?”
I worked with this person who kept insisting that all Muslim people are really dark. So I told her “Actually, my best friend is Muslim and she’s blonde, blue-eyed and paler than I am.”
And she says, “Oh well then your friend must have converted or something.”
“No… she was born and raised Muslim. Because believe it or not there are countries in Europe with a majority Muslim population. And, GASP, some of those people are white.”
And then my colleague just looked at me like I was crazy.
Anyway, obviously that has nothing to do with dating. You just reminded me of how I’m sometimes really surprised by people’s ignorance.
Why the hell would anybody be confused about you living abroad? What is there to be confused about? Lol.
I will just reiterate that what he thinks Does. Not. Matter.
What matters is taking care of yourself. And seeing his love stories pop up in your news feed is obviously upsetting for you, so quit torturing yourself and give yourself the space you need to move on.
Yes. Please unfriend him. He is not your friend.
Watch out SpaceySteph… the internet police are coming for you!
I happen to think Fyodor is friggin’ awesome. Just for the record 🙂
Completely agree with Ron. Unless your boyfriend has specifically told you that he is planning a special proposal for you and just needs a bit of time, waiting around and not saying anything is just going to disappoint you even further.
If this guy actually wanted to marry you, he would be up front and honest about that. He would talk to you about marriage and talk to you about a future together. He would reassure you that he loves you and is looking forward to building a life together.
If he hasn’t done those things, do NOT sit around thinking he might surprise you if you just keep your mouth shut.
Omg yes, break up now. This is not a healthy mindset. If you’re at the point where you feel like you have to give him an ultimatum, and he can’t even talk to you about a timeline or where he’s at, marriage will NOT fix things. This relationship is broken and past it’s expiration date.
@Fyodor you’ve probably never heard of this happening to anyone you know in real life because you hang around with decent people.
I’m off to the airport to spend 2 weeks in the UK! Hope everyone has fun on their summer vacations 🙂 Sounds like lots of exciting trips coming up!
I was definitely really excited to meet my boyfriend. We had been talking on the phone for two weeks. But as I mentioned in other posts, there was definitely a slow burn.
