NOT A SOB STORY...was i wrong for letting my man go? what do you think?

A relationship of two years. I am now 18 and I've been through hell and highwater. I decided to further my education and major in nursing. Worked a job throughout my senior year of highschool. Hung out with my "man" more than my girls. I loved this guy. But after a while his lifestyle didnt fit mine (selling drugs). I got tired of the same thing over and over. The situation was not changing. Meanwhile, im trying my best to better myself as a woman...a person. But him? It was always about that "fast dollar"..."instant gratification". Come on baby...get a real job, find a trade, the streets cannot be your source of education and income for the rest of your life. The sex couldnt keep me and the money couldnt keep me. When i love...i love hard. Clearly, i feel i loved myself enough and loved him enough to let him go! Was i wrong? Until this day...my ex is angry about the breakup. Either he doesnt understand WHY i did it or doesnt WANT TO understand.

You go girl. You certainly did the right thing in distancing yourself from that criminal. If and when he ever decides to clean his act up, you will have long since become a nurse and a productive member of society, not that you already aren't. Believe me, that bum hasn't got anything you couldn't get from a decent man with the same qualities you seem to have. Good luck in your career.

You did a good job - Let it go! If you are bettering yourself and hes still behind.. leave his *** there! Becasue he isonly gunna bring you down. He doesnt want to face the fact that you left him because of his lifestyle. Dont worry girlie.. PLENTY of men in the sea :)

jus wanna see how many girls say move on he aint nobody

Awww...I'm so proud of you. X^D

You're growing up into a really smart woman. Don't stop.

hmm i wouldnt say your wrong cuz what it comes down too what do you want more to better yourself or to be loved he understands but he's salted because after all this time now you have a problem with it

My friend had a similar situation with the drugs and all that. To be honest I respect you more than anything for letting him go. If he's not willing to do something better with his life than that, especially if you talked to him about how he could do better then..maybe it's just not right for you. You don't deserve to have to live in that kind of lifestyle if you want to live a "respectable" life. But either way..I think you did the right thing and I really respect you for it. Maybe he doesn't understand why you did or want to understand right now but maybe a little down the road he'll look back, and he will understand. It might just take a little 'growing up.'

GIRL, YOU DID THE RIGHT THING CAUSE I WOULDDA DID THE SAME. YOU GOTTA MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY B4 YOU CAN MAKE ANYONE ELSE HAPPY

You grew and matured and he stayed in his own little self gratifying world. Both is your answer. He doesn't know how to live in the real world. Thank God you are smart enough to see the difference. There are many daisies in the field, pick your own bouquet.

You would be wrong to even look back...not even for a second. Certainly do not dwell on it a minute more. Look forward to the right sort of life (and relationship(s)) free of all the failure that person was inviting for your life, onto your parents, onto your future children...everything. You recognized a fork in the road, made the right decision, and now you are facing a little bit of second guessing -- mostly put there by the crummy past relationship. Move on, continue doing what's right....try to be honorable and real, and don't look back on that right decision at all.

The old saying: The love of money is the root of all evil. Three endings to his lifestyle, jail, institution, or death. You did the right thing. Drug dealers hurt innocent people. It sounds like he is talented in selling, all he needs is a positive male mentor from the business world to help get him in. It worked for me 20yrs ago and as a result I have 20yrs of sales experience and training with good companies.

A good place for him to start would be a large clothing store, car sales, or insurance sales, a place where he could get specialized training and learn to wear suits, i would suggest clothing sales for starters (suits), it's a good clean hussle. Hope this helps. Some of your top salesmen in business have been from the streets.

Well you answered your own question.You did the right thing.Leaving him was improving yourself as a person and as a legitamate member of society.
I commend you for your bravery.it is really hard to let someone you love go.No matter what the reason.You did it for you.He understands.He is just stuck in that lifestyle.Some people like it.
Hopefully for you he will wake up and see what he is missing.If not dont falter.You will find someone that will love you for the independant woman you are.Someone who will help you and not bring you down.
How many drug dealers have you met that were retired and living well.Me none.I have known alot to.
Good luck and keep your head up.You are doing the right thing.

THAT WAS VERY SMART AND MATURE OF YOU UNLIKE SO MANY OTHER YOUNG WOMEN TRAILING BEHIND SOME DUMB *** MAN AND THE ONLY THING THEY GET IS A BABY DADDY THAT'S SERVING 10 TO 20.
