HI
Sorry its such a long post but i wanted to give you as much of the full picture as possible
.... right this might be a bit confusing! I moved out to Australia in March 2006 and my boyfriend of 3 months followed me shortly after.. this was never intentional but we just fell head over heels and wanted to give it a chance to work.. we lived together, got engaged and everything was perfect UNTIL he left to go back to the UK!!!!
this was a very unexpected turn (i had 1 day notice) and it had nothing to do with our relationship he just wasnt happy there and didnt settle (and didnt want me to give up my dream for him apparently) i was an absolute wreck as yuou can imagine and i mean not sleeping, not eating crying at everything and my parents came over to visit with for xmas and they saw me in this state!!!
They now (and i can understand why) hate him, i stayed in OZ for 6 months after he left and we continued to talk everyday on the phone as i decided i didnt want to rush back to the uk and give up my life there until i was sure (even though that was all i wanted to do!)
I am now back in the Uk and he has moved down to the town where i grew up (at my request) to continue being with me. So now i am staying with my parents temporarily (im 26 so this is horrid!) he is lovely and has done everything i have asked of him on order to prove to me that he is comitted ( i didnt want to move in with him etc and rush things until i was sure he was serious) My parents were devastated when i told them taht we were back together as they saw how hurt i was by him..
the problem is we now want to get officially engaged again and start planning the wedding but i dont know how to prove to them that yes he did make a mistake, yes he did hurt me but everybody makes mistakes and he makes me so happy. i just want to have my parents happy for me and to be at my wedding..
does anyone have any ideas?
