well, i think it's great that you don't know what to say and haven't said anything... i don't think it deserves a response. what you said is the truth... you have given, he has taken, now he can't even give you that...

in truth, i have at least one daughter that is a giver. she had a boyfriend that was a taker in high school. for whatever reason, it's attractive and i have lived some of that. but, hopefully, you will find someone that appreciates your giving and not just let it get you. i read your posts about how resourceful you are and how even your xh's family still loves you, not to mention all your friends, even the guy that told you this. this bf has been riding on your coattails.

i think you thought you "needed" (and yes, you love him) for a while, but i read too much strength in these last two posts. i feel sorry for him that the just doesn't know what he "had"... well, wait, not too sorry, stupidity is just that.

the really good thing is that you can still get away before it's too late. the worst case would be for him to get anxious and give you a ring, just because you want one. please don't get caught in that trap.

uou only have one life, find that guy that sees the real you and can't wait to spend his life with you. the one that knows that you are going to be a great mom. these last two guys just aren't worth it.

take care and post here for support... ((((hugs))))
