My Man Left Me!!! (Update)

Tweet

I just wanted to thank all of you that helped me reach my decision on my discussion (My Man Left Me!!!) I really appreciated all of the advice and caring that you all showed. For those of you that didn't see this discussion, it was about how my boyfriend had left me because the two of us had been going back and forth about whether I should quit my job or not. I didn't want to, despite the fact that he'd really been pushing the issue... Anyway, after reading your responses and making my decision, I decided to "stick to my guns" and keep my job. I made a good argument (thanks to a lot of points that you all brought up) about why it was important for me to keep working right now. After hearing how passionate I was about the subject, and the logic behind it, he changed his position. He also told me that a big part of him pushing the issue was because he's been worried about how thin I've been spreading myself (between work, school, the baby, him, and the house) and just wanted to alleviate a lot of the stress that I was going through and the job was the only thing that he could think that I could do without. I promised him that if I would stop trying to do EVERYTHING and let him help with the baby, house, etc. so that I won't be so stressed all of the time. Plus, he couldn't stay away... he said that he was miserable spending time away from me and the baby. :) Again... THANK YOU ALL!!!
