I have been absent in MYLOT and there have been a lot of things going on in my life. I had no strength to write anything here as it would trigger my emotions quite easily. But now that I have somehow gong through 1-1/2 weeks of battling my emotions, I think I am now ready to write and express what I have been feeling all these days that I have been absent. I have been absent from work due to conjunctivitis and in addition to that my relationship with my boyfriend went rough and rocky for the past week. I didn't know that my boyfriend had some very hard time at their home and I think he has been pressured with family duties. He has issues and problems that I do not know of in which he has kept hidden from me. When I realized him doing this, I was upset and at first mad at him for not telling me because I thought it was unfair for my part. And he sent me an email after that he will be letting go of me because he doesn't want me to be a part of his problems. For me, it was no reason to break up since I thought we could face the problme together and not him alone. I pleaded with him that even though I could not help him at least I could be there when he needed someone to share the burden with and that I still believe in us, and I won't be giving up on him.. no not yet. He did email me back and said he still loves me and just to give him time. But he also stated that if he cannot wait for me anymore then he can always tell me. I have every intention to wait for him because I still love him in spite of everything that he has done and is going through. Honestly, I cannot just let go of him. I still love him so much. I don't know until when I am going to wait for him and I fear it might take long before he can recover. What I am doing right now is that to pray for him day and night that God will give him wisdom in every choice that he will make and strength to hold on every step of the way. I believe that all I can do now is pray and I praying so hard. We we're planning to get married this September after being postponed from last year. Now I am hoping that this will push through. But with everything that has been going on for the past 1-1/2 weeks I get shivers and doubts that this will all just be a plan. I don't know if our engagement has been cancelled already with the recent happenings. I never got to ask him because I know that he has current problems that he has to face and I do not want to add to the pressure. I guess all I have to do it wait...and I don't even know until when. :( Only God knows when. God's will be done.
