Desperate times, desperate measures
Love can make you do crazy things, and when in love, people usually want to hold on to that feeling for as long as possible. What have you done to get your partner to stay with you?
Gale:
This is so embarrassing, but I was married to someone I thought was the love of my life. To me I was the perfect wife, but he was a player who still wanted to have his fun. I didn’t want to lose him, nor did I want to be known as the one who got divorced. So I allowed him to do his thing. But a few months later I realised that I was worth more than that, and I left him.
Rick:
When my ex and I broke up I found her a new place and paid the rent for her and took care of a few other expenses. She kept saying that no other man would do that. We started the relationship again but we still had a few issues. There are some things that money can’t fix.
Opal:
My ex always wanted a baby, but I honestly am not a lover of kids. I can tolerate them but I just didn’t want one of my own. But once my ex told me he was going to leave me because of it I agreed to try and have one. I went on the pill the next day and he didn’t know, so for nearly a year we were trying and then one day he asked me to fill a prescription for him at the pharmacy. In the process I also got some more birth control and inadvertently placed them in the bag with his meds. I gave him the bag and didn’t remember I had placed my pills in there. He found out and he was mad as hell. He moved out the following weekend.
Denver:
I have never done anything to keep a woman who wanted to leave me. In fact I will open the door for her and help her walk out.
Zara:
I don’t have time to be that manipulating. If a man wants to leave me he can. It might hurt, but I will get over it.
