I enjoyed reading through every lines.. @brianphobos you are the man, I love what you did in not letting her get her way into your pocket through the fancy restaurant that she had always talked about... If she does not like your shoes or the way your dress and she truly does care for you, she would have tried something like giving you a surprise gift of a type of shoe she likes and maybe that will lure you into having another taste of design but she didn't.
If you had considered changing your shoes because of her, what next? She will come into your home and tell you she does not like this and does not like that and you go about turning into something you truly are not..
I will love to always follow the step you made in letting her go and I pray deep in my heart that I can hangout with a woman that I will love and also she will TRULY love me too.. I don't want anything from her but just her love. So sad I haven't found any of such yet.
It is a slippery slope for sure. Just constantly trying to buy stuff to keep up with what she wants. No thanks. Hahah
