I don’t believe it takes years for a person to know if they are with the “one”. If they haven’t proposed after at least two years, sad to say, that day may not come. Sometimes, the men are not financially stable to support a wife or they may stay content in a relationship until the right one comes. I’m so happy you found someone who knows you were the one for them and that you are content. Much luck to you.

I’m so excited you found happiness. A lot of times we allow people to treat us any which way. Most women who take a cheating man back, will be cheated on again. He knows he can do and that woman will take him back, so why not? It takes strength to leave and I’m happy you finally found yours. Good luck to you.

I don’t have to tell you, because you already know. Once you believe that you deserve to be a man’s one and only, you will leave this situationship. Once you get tired of being alone on holidays and attending special events by yourself, you’ll leave. Once you realize that this man has no intention of leaving the woman he’s with now, you’ll move on. Two years is a long time to be the other woman, however, I know women who have spent decades in that position. You deserve to be in a committed and monogamous relationship with someone who loves you and wants to be with only you.

Too bad you had to go through this. Thankfully you found out now, rather than later! It will hurt for a while, but you can come out of this stronger.

I agree with you 100%. Fifteen years is a long time to give your all to someone who didn’t reciprocate. A lot of times we are only around for someone else’s comfort. Self-love is important and I am happy you finally left. It’s never too late to live your best life, either solo or with someone who loves you as much as you love them.

I’m 34 years old and am finally moving on after 15 years of being the other woman. I can’t believe I gave him all of my twenties and half of my thirties. It was hard leaving him, but it’s all about self worth. We deserve to be someones one and only girlfriend and future wife. I believed in our love for way too long. “Love” isn’t enough in a relationship like this. Once you tear that bandage off of your eyes and break things off with him, it’s an eye opener and the worst is over.
I was so scared of leaving him and breaking his heart because I still loved him so very much myself. But after 15 years of being together and talking about one day finally being just me and him, can you guess what his response to our breakup was? “I’ll leave the keys in the mailbox for you and you won’t ever see me again.” What kind of man did I just give 15 years of my life to?!
It’s never too late to stand up for yourself and your happiness. Don’t stay with him because you’re set in your ways and comfortable. Don’t stay with him because you’ve already stayed for so long. Don’t stay with him period!
