I was in love with Egyptian guy for 4 years ( I am now 32 he was 39) we were so in love but there was always something that didn't seem right. He never had time to spend with me telling me he has to work.He worked every weekend nights sometimes during the week, all the holidays he took extra work and he had other full time jobs, his dad was sick etc. I always felt behind

. During four years he said I love you only ONCE in public the first time he said it- I always had a feeling it was just show off. I was invited to his family house many times met his parents, brothers and all the relatives. All was on a good way. After 3.5 years I started to by pushy to the marriage, I asked him to live with me, buy a condo together and finally start a real life together. I couldn't wait any longer. He said we will get married (i think just to calm me down) We rented the apartment- he never moved in (he lived with his parents) again he was coming maybe twice a week to see me. He said this doesn't really works for him. He Started to be on the weird side I even found a condom in his wallet. He payed a half a rent for two month then he decided he is not going to do it anymore and he wants to move to California.

SO he just left me for his new life idea at the age of 39, left his so IMPORTANT jobs and family. What went wrong? I was so good for him I guess too good...4 years.....
