Keep on patching and breaking up

Hi brides, my fiance just proposed to me today. However I'm having some doubts about marrying him because throughout the 3 years of our relationship, we keep breaking up and patching up again and again.. i can feel that he really loves me but I'm just so tired of this roller coaster. I said yes to him but i think it could be because of the pressure in the room, everyone expects you to say yes, isnt it? Sigh, i really don't know.. any advice from brides here? :blushing:

Hi melo,

Well i don't want to discourage you but maybe you should examine the reasons behind those patching and breaking. Is it to do with principles? or just bad temper? Are they always the same issues? I personally went through that, so I can't say its a good sign......

Good luck!

sigh new issues keep coming up and old ones keep resurfacing. ive been with him for so long that i cant really bear to give up the relationship, and yet im not getting any younger and cant possibly keep waiting for a better guy to come by. so hard to make decisions like that :(

that's tough.
guess both of you have to sit down and talk about these issues.
marriage is a life time, not a game so have to think twice...
make sure both of you are willing to hold hands and walk thru the rest of your life.
I'm sure if both of you are sincere to have a future together, both of you will compromise one another.
Conflicts happens within couples. Just the matter of compromising one and other, but in a good way thou.

Constant break and patch are not good signs already. Shows your relationship isn't stable.
If old problems keep resurfacing then it's no good cause it shows that problems not resolve
Dun because of your age or the duration of the relationship that cause you to hold on to it
You never know what's going to happen next in your life.

agree with cryoaz and meiling, it's a really hard situation. I know how it feels, I have friends in the situation also, who after many years of dating suddenly broke up. the good news is that they managed to find another guy after that. Don't give up, but if you keep quarreling with that person, it could imply underlying issues. Talk to a pre-marriage counsellor, you will find some answers. :)

thanks for the advice ladies. sometimes i think love is blind.. from outsider point of view it's not good but from the one who is inside the relationship, it's hard to see, and hard to give up also.

Melo...i went through similar things like you before..break patch break patch.... quarrel quarrel old problem keep getting dig up... never ending....during that time the thoughts were if give up already where to find another one?
It's tiring...till it reach my limits i told myself if this time breakup again that's it no more patch up.....and after breakup he ask for patch back i told him you will change your mind again....and i know the same problem will arise again and again.
Now think back i know i make the right decision, cause we are not compatible. If we are, wouldn't have so much problems already.
Yes love is blind. I guess you yourself knows it best...:)

Hi cryoaz, comforting to know that someone has been through it before. :wub: I'm not getting any younger also, he has been promising that he will change each time i point out to him his flaws. I guess to me it's the heart that counts, just that i'm getting tired of it and I don't know whether I should stay on or move on.

Melo...unless the problems between you and him can be resolved....if not it will be never ending....
When you think about this relationship, does the happy things come to your mind? Or the first thoughts are those unpleasant things?

if you know that he's not the one, try to move on. but if you want to stay on, be prepared that the problems will only get worse. Many men after they get married they take their wives for granted, esp if they are already treating you like that.

hmmm.. 1st thing when he propose to u what is in ur mind? hw do u feel? that is the real answer in ur heart. if u feel doubtful, fear, worries, then maybe i guess u should ask urself if he is the one for u.. dun wait till married then regret then it is too late.. maybe u should tell urself.. choose someone NOT u can live with.. but Someone U CANT LIVE Without! God Bless u!

i guess it depends on what are the issues you are really facing in the relationship.. what are the causes of both of you breaking up previously? try to talk to your SO about these issues and resolve it.. cos these issues will keep resurfacing even in your marriage next time!

Your can try and give each other a 'timeout' and talk about the problems together and solve them in a calm mind. The biggest question should be whether you feel happy with or thinking of him. Being together for life is not easy as there will be more obstacles ahead. Both of your must be mentally prepared for living together, if not, its better to drop the idea of marriage until the time is right
