You and Me Against the world????

Have you tried dumping, ending, or not pursuing a certain relationship because somebody or some people were against it? Somebody used to court me, but I didn't go on with it even if I liked him because let's just say I got affected with his friends being against me or anything. I just felt that he was too good for me and that I, on the other hand, have gotten into a few conflicts with some people because I've always been the speak-my-mind type. He wasn't like that. He was an everybody's guy. All these conflicting characters led to a love story that never happened. Too sad.

"noone" is too good for you. i don't think anybody is better than the next.i would not have let his friends or yours stop me from having what i wanted. they were just jealous & interferfing. just remember noone is better than anybody else. i know alot od people think they are but to heck w/them.

hi A.L, thanks for that. I got a boost of self-esteem out of that. :-D Yes, it just dawned upon me one day that we may never really be meant for each other. So it was meant to happen. The way I was affected by external factors was enough proof that I was immature, and I'd never be able to fight for that something if I kept being affected.

Your heart getting broken was actually a blessing in disguise, right? I mean imagine you marrying that engineer, you're probably 198 pounds by now, with 3 kids in a row, and you looking like a "losyang". *wink

why do you bother about other peoples' opinion, they have no right to say 'no', ultimately what matters the most is suitability and compatibility with the both of you. if you and your partner are fine with the relationship then why bother about what others think / feel about it. anyway, I suppose all good(bad) things come to an end. I'm sure you'll find someone better and the people around your partner more supportive to your relationship.

Yeah, too bad, he went off looking for another one having gone tired waiting for me. Well, that's maybe how life goes.

Hello aiza! I am sorry about your story but you shouldn't be affected with what other said. I can say that my husband and I relationship is like "you and me against the world too" My husband's children (daughter and son) to his first wife is against with our relationship. But he said that it's his life and that he wants to be happy. That's what I thought too. I don't want to be scared when I finally join him in america because I know he is always there for me to defend me and care for me. As long as we both love each other, there's nothing to be worry about.

So how is your relationship with his family now?

well, his brother and his aunts and uncle are ok with me..I even talk to them on the phone..the problem is with the children..it's not really a problem actually because when they really find out how much I love their father, then there'll be no problem.

I've been into that lovestory of yours.. and I was coward enough to give up everything just because my mom don't favors him. It would be very painful at first but you'll be used to it after. Maybe that is destiny. Just don't look back in anger..anyway everybody gets frustrated too.

Hi arrah, yes we tend to be cowards on many things too. That time, maybe I was just so concerned about maintaining a good image that it made me feel like his friends were destroying me as a person. So I dumped him.

I think you really need to think about yourself first ,take your decission by your own listen to your heart not to others.the world has become very competitive so you will come across many people like that whom you do not like it for some or the other reason and may be even they don't like you for some reason and they would definietly try to affect you in many ways but because of them you cannot ruin your own freedom and your choice.So you need to be bold enough to face these kind of circumstances which is the part of life .You learn from your experiences so i feel do not repeat the same mistake again

When these things happen it's usually for the best. mature love has a way of getting past most problems. When you are young you are much more affected by others in your relationships.

It happens. You may think that a person is right for you, but circumstances dictate otherwise. It is just too bad. You often come under the pressure of your peers or parents to change the course of your life much against your wishes. You ignore your heart and listen to the counsel of others. You subjugate your own wants and desires to keep people happy. That is part of life.

Quite a bad trip, right? It used to be his friends, but now, with my new bf, it's my father who's against him. I think the guys I've gone out with all were really good ones. But something just keeps pulling me down.

It's hard having a relationship that isn't favored by other people close to you, but I guess that is a test of how much you want it, and a reminder for you to think twice of even thrice why you like the relationship in the first place

I think trials are always a part of every relationship. So maybe that was my share of the trials. :-D Otherwise, everything wouild have been just perfect.

i think you have to learned from your experience. Think that its your happiness important and not the other people. Maybe you are matured enough to think what is good or not, what is best or better?. Think about your happiness girl, if people are against you think about it. Was is because they are jealous? or because they didnt like your attitude at all?. Well put it this way, we are into crab mentality, and every envious people will try to pull you down whenever you feel like your reaching the top. Dont be affected, think straight of yourself. and please start doing it now before its too late. Happy mylotting!!!!

Hi lucky, I'm quite happy with my present relaionship that I am sort of glad the previous one (the one in my story) didn't push through. Now, I've learned to value my own happiness. However, it's my father who doesn't approve of my present relationship., So this has become my next problem. Unlike before, I didn't give up on this one.

I too have some number of friends like you had. What I'll do on these let them do on them own way but I'll have some limit with them and I'll not spoil my friendship with them because I know very well if we say about these thinks they won't be bother about our complaints. So let them go on them own way and keep our friendship up to date with them if they are good in our case.

I see. Yes, sometimes, our friends need our guidance too in picking the love of their lives. But then we can never dictate them as to who they wil choose.
