Breh.
I hope to god that you didn't get rid of her or anything.
Cause honestly, you sound like me and your girl sounds like my wife.
When a female loves you....I mean, REALLY loves you....all they want and need is you.
Nothing else.
I felt crowded by my wife when she acted like that in the beginning too!!!
I was constantly looking for ways to get away from her, taking extra deployments just so I could have some quiet time in the field, working late when I was back in the states so I could surf the internet without her draping over my shoulder or constantly asking "
Hey, what are you laughing at?"
It took me seeing how other guys have girlfriends and wives that don't do shyt for them and don't even check up on them because they off doing their own thing and doing dirt behind their guys backs too for me to really appreciate what I have.
My wife is smart, loyal, witty, funny, educated, a fantastic mother, my best friend, my greatest business partner, the most awesome financier, an amazing cook, a fantastic baker, she shoots better than me, keeps up with me outdoors, has a great heart for people, she's sexy as hell, she's a mentor to the children we take care of daily, she's a mentor to her friends and family, she's honored in the city we live in as a righteous person, she looks out for brothas and sistas and the black community, she's a great friend to my moms and pops and treats them like they were her own, She's respected in her colleges and consults with their programs to help students in her field coming up, I could go on for 3 pages...
Now, I can tell you that my wife's been through some traumatic shyt in her life that made her kinda "Clingy" when we first got together. People go through all kinds of shyt and you never know til you're with em. I didn't find out what made my wife the way she was until I was about to walk out the door and get a divorce. But I gave it a shot and we laid it all out on the table and she told me what happened to her that made her the way she was.
I say "Was" because after we talked about it and each laid our gripes out for the other to know...we settled everything and it's been gravy ever since that day 10+ years ago.
Nowadays we can be in the house together and doing separate things. She trusts me, I trust her and we love being around each other. There's no urgency or press to constantly be up under each other and there's no worry about anything coming between us.
What I'm saying is don't base your views of your girl on what you had with anyone else and certainly not how you moved before she came along. I can bet with good expectation that she will make a great wife for you...if that's what you eventually want. You just gotta get to the bottom of what makes her the way she is and let her know how you really feel inside. Opening up like that is a risk....I ain't pretending it ain't....but if you love her....really love her, you'll let her know what you're feeling.
Communication is EVERYTHING!
You got a golden one....
Good luck breh!
