Have you ever felt like you where in a relationship by yourself? I am here in Virginia and my boyfriend is in Missouri, we lived together for a year and his dad got sick so he went back to Missouri to take care of him(that was almost 2 years ago!) The apartment we lived in rent went up so I had to move back in with my mom because with him being in Missouri we couldn't afford it. The plan was that I look for a place here and when I find one he would be back. Okay it took me longer then it should have but I got one two months ago and he came and stayed for a week and went back to Missouri because his dad called with a sob story and he said his dad needed him. Our whole relationship his dad has been in the middle. We have been engaged for 2.5 years and have yet to set a wedding date. How the hell are we sapose to start a family when his dad had him in his back pocket? Everyday he tells me the same thing " Just bare with me, I'll be home soon" I think in order for us to start a life together his dad has to die or I have to move to Missouri I am not interested in doing either. What the hell am I sapose to do? I love him and I don't want to leave him but I have to do something because I am just here by myself and waiting for one of my boyfriends empty promises to come true? Am I stupid for waiting? Love is a bitch
