Well, doesn't Holly know all of those things about you anyway? Even if she doesn't, she obviously likes you a lot, and if I liked someone a lot there is no way that any of that stuff would stand in the way of that. Maybe just have a talk with her, and tell her you are pretty stressed out and name the reasons, and see how she reacts. If she's supportive and understanding, then you know she's cool with all of it. Give yourself a chance, and hang in there - you'll get to where you want to be.

I read what you wrote to my husband - *ouch* But, he deserves it....

He came home from work the other morning, telling me he talked to the girl and told her they couldn't continue as friends at all anymore and couldn't hang out, and he really wanted us to give our relationship and this family a shot. The problem is, I didn't know that he was continuing to hang out with his girl as much as he was, and so the news that he had to tell her again that they needed to stop hanging out so much was a betrayal all over again. I don't understand how he could do that, knowing how much it hurt me, and don't know if I ever will. It makes me want to run away from the hurt, and forget the family I want to keep together so badly.

Edited to get rid of pathetic drivel tyring to explain why my husband was acting like a selfish immature asshole. Thank you, and God I'm such a pathetic idiot.

I say you need a 40 oz of something else! yanawwhatimsain!
If she wants a relationship she will except you as you are. These kind of things happen. There is nothing you can do about it. Sometime people are jerks. BUT.... Life goes on. Even if she doesn't want a relationship, or want to further the relationship then there's nothing you can do about it. So best of luck..........
