I thought things were going good with this guy I have known for 4 yrs. I was sadly mistaken and it turns out he lied to me about his phone troubles and who knows what else. Aparently the medications i am on is at the center of it all. He thinks i cannot have kids when I said i can i just have to ween off my meds. There is a way to do it safly for me and the baby. I am just very hurt and betrayed. I thought he was the one and my best friend but it was all a lie.

I send you a big **HUG** I know how hard going through a break up is, especially someone who you love deeply. It is hard when they have made you feel it is due to your illness. Some people just suck :(

That's a big disappointment but better to find out now than to form a more binding relationship.

"Aparently the medications i am on is at the center of it all."

No. If it has turned out that he has been deceitful to you in your relationship together, It's his lack of character that's at the center of it all.

I'm so sorry for the hurt you must be feeling.
Losing someone who you considered both a best friend and a lover is so unbearably painful.

The sad thing is that I thought it was different this time. He did this to me twice about the baby stuff. The stress of him leaving to go to Maryland bc he is in the army sent me in to a downward spiral and I needed to had a new med to my cocktail. I will be fine thank you all so much.

been there, done that,wore, the T-shirt, washed the damn t-shirt,to shreds!. It is a horrible place,to be. Nearly two years later I still love my man even though we were to be married and he just stopped talking to me and has been quite cruel. I feel he got scared of my illness.,I,can do nothing when someone else chooses to run for the hills.But,I,am,still, very,sad.big,fat,hugs,to,you.
