In short, you’ve tried your best and gave it your all in the relationship.
In other words, you’ve been a caring, supportive, honest, persevering, dedicated boyfriend/girlfriend to that special someone. You cooked for them, you took time off just to help them, you bought gifts for them on every obligatory occasion, you stood by them, you lent them money, you took care of their every need.
Then, they cheat on you, lie to you, claim that they are unsure of what they want, dump you, trample on your heart and stuff it back into your mouth.
Do not fret. They always come back.
A real life case I have been dealing with recently involves a couple like this: the girlfriend neglected to contact her boyfriend for 4 months, she started seeing an Englishman, and then she thanked her boyfriend for the past memories, apologized for being so selfish, and wished him a happy life. You know, ‘the breakup talk’.
He was extremely upset as they have been together for 6 years in all. Depressed and dejected, he got addicted to gambling at our Marina Bay Sands.
He called me for advice. I told him not to worry. In the usual cliche ways of the world, she would get her heart broken by that Englishman and then she would realize the folly of her ways and then come begging and crying.
My prediction was validated last Sunday when she messaged him “I need you. I want you. I want us to be together like before again. Call me.”
Turns out her Mr Englishman is a divorcee with two children and he requested the girl to accept him as he is, and live together with his ex-wife and two children, under one roof in harmony.
So, what did I say?
