I know how you feel. For several years I have had to appear tough and strong especially when it came to my mom's health problems since I was her primary caretaker as well as taking care of the domestics. It was very hard watching her get carried away in the ambulance every time she had a seizure where she split her head open and this happened on an average of every 3-4 months. It literally tore me apart especially when the doctor came back with CT results saying she could have a brain tumor. I held on a brave face until I was alone and I just broke down and cried so hard I gave myself a headache. It wasn't until a year ago I had to learn to let things go because it was affecting my own health.
I understand that first part.. You don't think guys do the same, though? Any right minded individual wouldn't want to get hurt. And with the guy leading, generally we're the ones that try to pursue something. Yet when you're the only one reaching out mostly, it doesn't end well. And men and women are meant to be friends together, so I just don't understand this whole mess.

Never said that guys don't do the same. I would say that if it's out of interest as to who does the pursuing and who responds to it then it takes both parties to work something out in order to signal that they are available and interested in the other. Even then it may not end so well if one or both parties don't know how to ultimately reach out and persuade for it to go at a different level. It also has to depend on whether or not it's for the right reasons.
Though this is coming from someone who tends to withdraw and become shocked if I find out that a guy is interested in the first place. But with what little I've experienced, it does have to take both to work instead of one doing all the work. Both are having to sacrifice to some extent. If the other doesn't then there's no reason for you to.
I don't really see where God is in any of this, either, on both sides. Cause if both were praying and bringing this whole thing to Him, I honestly think there wouldn't be any blow up or an end to it. A lot of people say communication is important, yet too many don't. And that bothers me a lot, but that's something I need to ask God to work through me.
