SingleScenes
by Sarah Smart
Q. I am seriously perplexed. I was engaged to be married to a wonderful guy, and he had an accident, which left him blind. I broke off our engagement because I wasn’t sure if I still wanted to marry him. I knew he would need a lot of care and patience, and I feel I’m too young, (I’m 26) to be put in such a position of heavy responsibility. I love him, but I no longer wish to marry him. The problem is that I feel so guilty, though my friends and family claim to understand my decision. I can’t sleep at night, because he’s now refusing my calls. I need your opinion. Should I go ahead and marry him?
A. I think people have to make those decisions that seem best for them and I don’t know how to tell you to get rid of your guilt. But I just wonder, what would you have done, if his accident occurred after you were married…since you say you love him. Frankly, it doesn’t sound like love. Does it feel like love? Your decision should be based on that and that alone.
Q. I met this guy from out of town at a party, and we became so attached that we ended up spending the rest of the weekend together at his hotel. However, that was three weeks ago, and he has not called me one time. I haven’t called him because all my friends advise against it. But I think he owes me an explanation. What do you think? Should I call, or should I just forget about it?
A. I don’t see anything wrong with your calling. He could be ill. But if it turns out he’s isn’t. You need to take a reality pill, chalk this one up to bad judgment and then forget about it.
