This post speaks to me so much. For awhile he was confident that he wanted to travel the world with me and knew the best way to communicate with me.
The love letters he hid for me to find are what made me sick. He knew he wanted a future with me in those letters and in his words. At one point we talked about it again and he was more logical about the situation- that he should save up the money and admitted that it would be hard to find a woman who looks at him the same way I do.
I agreed. I thought we were on the same page. I loved him and I always would. I did feel like I was finally there! It hurts so bad. This post made me feel a lot better. I need to see these patterns before I get too involved. It just really sucks right now. Thank you for sharing wish that I had the time to elaborate more , and thank you for your love, sisterhood and support. But one example was when he sent me an e-mail asking me if I wanted to go to a basketball game.
I wrote back and said sure, sounds good. He wrote back that he was going to the game with someone else. I replied that I was confused, why did he invite only to go with someone else.
Of course, that never happened either. I have distanced myself from this once close friend and put up an emotional wall so that I am not hurt any more by his repeated callous behavior towards me.
This friend is a grade A narcissist and by definition has a lot of hang ups and insecurities. False Promises! He cost me 2 good jobs! I moved across states for him twice! But no more! Eyes and Ears wide open now! Thank you Natasha for your serious, yet edgy. I even apologized! It btoke my heart, damaged my self esteem, shook my faith as he used the words God and Nature as well as love!
Geez… i read the guy decription part and im like, did you date my ex or something? Because after him those were exactly the points that i realized and finally noticed. Well, we ended having a baby and possible future and he was great at home, but he traveled so much that i barely saw him.
So yeah. We are very much equal. If he can fix a faucet, i can too. Nothing against men ok im biased, a little bit but we got this. We women are just as strong and capable. So cheers for being superwomen. I reached to your blog when I was searching for again understanding my ex. Which I know is a useless effort. He put me in a very difficult situation.
I made the mistake to quit my job to move his country with big promises. Big love to you Edelweiss. I read your blog posts basically all day I have a desk job and my mind wanders and they help me keep my sanity, seriously. I use to have boundaries in the beginning thanks to years of therapy but those got knocked down over time. You are an absolute godsend and much love and light to you! Congratulations on being published and using your pain to help others out of theirs.
I am so happy and honored to help. Thank you for taking the time to reach out and give feedback on the course. I put my heart and soul into it and just wanted to create exactly what I wish I had when I was there.
Thank you for your love, support, connection, and for being a part of this tribe. You are never alone. All my love to you soul sister. I feel so lost. We spent a Sunday night together, and the whole day Monday walking around the city and being as a couple.
This is a difficult situation to work through as you will have to move forward knowing that one of you is happy to break promises when it suits them. Differing beliefs are often a reason why couples break up - none more so than when it comes to a breakdown of trust that those differing beliefs cause. Depending on what your boyfriend did, as well as what your relationship is like has a big bearing on what you should do when your boyfriend has broken promises to you.
Perhaps the key idea for all is that you need to talk to your partner and talk through the issue until you come to a resolution. You should probably only ever make a promise in your relationship that you can keep. Broken promises can be very difficult for a relationship to work through and can make both partners feel like they are letting the other person down. It depends on what your relationship with your boyfriend requires that will allow you to know what promises you can make your boyfriend.
A broken promise can do as much harm as if you make promises time after time to keep your partner happy. There will be, of course, times that circumstances make it necessary to break promises or at least times that you break promises in such a way that your partner will understand. The kind of person you are will have a big bearing on knowing when it is best to break promises as opposed to keeping them.
The problem with breaking promises is that you can break down the trust between you and your partner. The result can be that your partnership deteriorates. If you are worried about this in your relationship, make sure you talk through the issue as soon as possible with your other half.
Relationships take a lot of dedication and thoughtfulness towards your partner. For that reason, when a promise is broken between two people in love , it can be hard to find a way through that break down of trust. It can knock the confidence that you both have in your partner and can also affect your self-esteem in a negative way too. Therefore, it is key that you work together to get this rocky patch.
The crucial way you can do this is by opening up the lines of communication so you both know where you stand. Your email address will not be published. HerNorm is a community-supported website.

They promised to do more around the house.
They promised to stop criticizing you in front of your friends. They promised to stop over-spending or gambling. Broken promises, big or small, corrode trust, said Ashley Thorn, LMFT, a psychotherapist who helps families, couples, and individuals facing all kinds of struggles and transitions.
There are many reasons why partners break promises. For example, you ask your husband to manage his drinking better. Because, as Thorn said, it could mean a million different things. In the drinking example, the couple would talk about how the husband can keep the promise and how the wife can support him or what her role will be , she said. Below, Thorn, founder of 4 Points Family Therapy in Sandy, Utah, shared additional suggestions for helping couples navigate promise-making and promise-keeping.
Pinpoint the specific promise. Again, exactly what does this entail? Does it mean calling and texting your family? Does it mean not making sarcastic jokes or bringing up certain touchy topics? Does it mean pitching in more at parties? Set detailed goals and timelines.
For example, a husband feels like his wife is more dedicated to work and the kids, and requests that she prioritize their relationship.
