I forget exactly how the saying goes but it is something like:

If you love something set it free, if it comes back to you it is yours to keep. If it does not come back, hunt it down and kill it

Fixed it fer ya Crumm........:sorry :sorry couldn't resist

Lot's of good advise here, if it's meant to be it will be.

1st fiance--great lady just couldn't deal with my chosen profession at the time.

2nd fiance.....won't go there

3rd fiance...still married to her after 11 years and I know in my heart it was meant to be.

Follow your dreams, I wish I had.

Nothing to be ashamed of, bro. I am the first to say I'm whupped for my wife, but she is worth it, and reciprocates with love, respect, and compromise back to me. That is the way things work in a solid, healthy relationship.

I would not let it go without at least having a talk with her about it and get her reactions. Maybe she has no idea that you feel this way, and meant no harm or foul. Maybe she did know, but didn't care, because she thought you'd be okay with her doing what is best for her (if this is the case, point out how selfish that is that you had to compromise and she did not). You need to get this cleared up, bud, don't let it stay a mystery. Whether you admit it or not, it will gnaw at your guts, and cause you to blow up next time something little happens, when she is totally innocent of anything but being unaware that her choice may have hurt your feelings. Or, it may result in you not being aware that she really doesn't care for and respect you the way you do her, and that can only lead to the uncomfortable and miserable day when you walk in on her with another guy. :nutkick: I know that hurts to think about, but little signs are the first indicator of a problem... Sorry...

Talk. If there is any advice that I can give you, talk. Communication is 98% of a relationship, the rest is just being good in bed :sweet . Don't let this one slide, because you'll be inclined to let the next one, and the next one after that, slide, too. It is not fair that you should let things slide and eat you up inside, while she gets a free pass to do what she will. You both need to agree on decisions, and to compromise for each other for the benefit of you both. If that means you both agree that she goes to the other school, then fine, but at least make her realize that it presented a problem for you that she did so, and that you at least expected her to talk it over with you first (that is only fair, right?). A relationship where you do what you want, when you want, without considering your partner, is no relationship at all.

Open, honest communication. No secrets between lovers, even if you think it is for the best. It NEVER is for the best.

Oh, and don't tell her you'd gotten on here for advice from your diesel truck buddies. No secrets, but that doesn't mean you have to SPECIFICALLY mention everything!!! :roflmao :sweet

My wife and I have a great relationship, we put each other's needs first and usually we discover that our seperate needs are our combined needs.

Love is compromise, love is difficult at times, TRUE LOVE just works, not because it has to but because you want it to.

Ann gets madder than hell at me sometimes because I won't talk about certain things, but whenever I wake up in a cold sweat she's there and very supportive right up until I say "I don't want to talk about it", then I get slapped in the back of the head, called a great many of things, have my heritage questioned and told to goto sleep, on the couch :roflmao

Love, what a wonderful thing :roflmao

You shouldn't have to, bud. Just don't rush into things and above all, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, be honest to yourself. If you trick yourself into believing something that is not, you can end up having some serious troubles down the road. Invariably, in life, as in all things, sh*t happens, but you can do things to make the chances of it happening to you as small as possible.

Now I really sound like the gay marriage counselor guy. Where's Jvencius, he'd get a hell of a kick out of this! :roflmao

What manner of demon haunts your dreams? The same thing that caused your first gal to leave you? Sounds to me like we may have a soldier in our midst, gentlemen, unless I'm mistaken. If so, tip a glass for ol' Jharvey tonight, he's earned at least that!

I'm more of an Autumn, but I do look good in any season.... :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao
(where is Jvencius, anyway???)

I guess I have a lot of things on my mind, and I love to hear myself talk.... So, therefore, you'll generally get a very round cross-section of tirades, rants, ramblings, and sometimes even bemusements from me, since it would likely kill me to keep anything to myself... :roflmao

I just wish that this durn country wasn't so big sometimes so that we all could get together and lie, embellish, and exaggerate to each other in person!

However, I do thank you for what I take as praise for being a well-rounded person. :thanks
