No chance of us sitting down and chatting. She has gone little to far. Candy that is.Josetta said:Any chance of you and Candy having a friendly talk to find out why she does not like you? Must be some room for forgiveness, kindness and saying sorry to each other. Maybe you need to hug Candy, rather than being angry with her.
Is Candy in love with Tina and trying to cut you out?
Meijer thanks again for the post.Meijer said:Hey Matt
First of all, Hang in there. You have friends in here. And, you have friends there. From waht you have said you are truely in Love with Tina you need to hang in there for her. Do not let her see you giving up on her.
Perhaps date. With Tina knowing ahead of time. I am a little leary of this, wrong message, Your dating and having fun Tina, So now I am. Perhaps going out as a gorup with friends.
To restate two things Josetta said. First, you have to keep telling Tina you love her. As a man in love with his wife I can tell you: you need to tell then all the time and be there for them. As tough as it is try to find new ways to show tell them you love them: FLowers text messages. etc show her you still have her photos up in your room, you need to keep her flooded with that thought.
Next, You need to try to met with Candy. I would not do it alone, What she will tell Tina is not what You will tell Tina happened. Then Tina has to choose who to beleive. Perhaps a lunch meeting with Candy, and Jen. Let Tina know you want to solve any issues you have with Candy. You know how much her freindship means to Tina and do not want to destroy it. I am not sure about Tina being there: but defiantley a third party that Tina trusts. I would tell Candy you happy for her , having a baby. That she is a very dear freind to Tina and you want Tina happy. Your sorry, take the high road, about anything you may have said in the past that may have hurt bothered Candy and ask for her forgivness. The, let Candy think, talk etc. Have your cell set as a alarm or a friend call you so that if you need an excuse to leave you can do so. But leave the ball in Candy's court. Remind tell Candy how much you love Tina.
Hope this helps
Thanks for keeping us posted.

Thanks for the post. I am pretty sure Terrell doesn't know about Candy's thinking. He may, but I really dont think so.falcondfw69 said:Matt,
First, I think taking the high road, as suggested by Meijer, might be the best idea. Just MAKE SURE Jenn is there to vouch for what happens. Having Tina there would not be a good idea, because Candy seems to be able to twist Tina whichever way Candy wants. It will show Tina that even though there is bad blood between you and Candy, you are willing to try and make peace. Make sure Tina knows ahead of time what will happen so that Tina knows she can confirm your version of what happens with Jenn. Ask Jenn is she is willing first. She may not want to take it to that level of involvement. If she balks, you can try pulling the "You and Candy started this." card again. It might guilt her into doing it. Even if you have to guilt her, Jenn seems an honest person.
If the meeting happens, just tell Candy "I know you are an important person in Tina's life, and I want to clear up whatever bad feelings may exist between us. People who are important to her are important to me. Jenn is here as a neutral observer so that Tina can get answers to what happened at this meeting without emotion or bad feelings coming into play from either of us. Tina deserves to know exactly what happens.". Then, proceed to find out why Candy hates you (but don't say it like that).
I think an interesting thought is could Candy be doing this, because she is jealous of yours and Tina's relationship? Could Candy want Tina for herself? Another possibly interesting thought. Could Tina be so willing to go along with whatever Candy wants, because she wants to please Candy so much, because she secretly wants Candy (maybe in addition to you)?
Tina's willingness to do whatever Candy wants is odd, to say the least. If Tina is an intelligent woman, she should be able to determine right from wrong in most relationships. It seems Tina doesn't really care that what Candy wants for you and Tina is wrong, or she is incapable of recognizing it.
To a small degree, I feel sorry for Terell too. Candy is using him to push her own agenda. If he knows this, then all sorrow goes out the window. If not, then he is being conned by Candy. He may enjoy sex with Tina, but if he is a man, he will not like being used by Candy.
You are the main victim in this. I would say Tina is too, but until she stands up to Candy to tell Candy to knock it off, Tina is more accomplice, than victim. My heart goes out to you. Now might be a good time for that talk with Tina that we discussed.

josetta,Josetta said:Matt, Candy's note to Tina said, "I got rid of shithead's pictures since you won't need them now".
You have a war on with Candy, but you won't defeat her with guns and bombs. Peace comes when you focus on forgiveness. By saying lots of nice things about Candy behind her back, you will "defeat her" because she can't continue to hate a person who likes her.
Love is the greatest weapon in the world.
"Candy has gone too far this time" - maybe she has, but if you want to marry Tina, you will have to become a good friend of Candy.
You won't be able to break Tina and Candy up because they have shared good times together.
Don't try to seperate a young woman from her friends.
Ya I think Jenn has really helped with this. I am hoping to tell her thanks soon. Ya soon things may change in the prioritys for Candy.Jaxunman said:Glad things are hopefully straight with Candy. Perhaps spending some extra time with Jenn has allowed them time to talk about Candy's real agenda. Time will do the work on Candy. Pregnancy will take its toll on her physically and then once the child is born, she will be out of the picture timewise.
Josetta,Josetta said:If after marriage, Tina finds she still has an unsatisfied craving for occasional sex with a lover, will you be able to give her this concession without jealousy of her needs?
What worries you about having a threesome? Aren't you curious to see another penis disappear inside Tina and watch her have an orgasm?
Shouldn't you take the opportunity to get a bit more sex from other girls before you settle down in marriage? Tina is doing it, so why not you as well?
Not sure why you are not posting, but I will miss your advice.Josetta said:I have breached the rule of bumping down old threads, and have decided to impose a ban on myself until the end of March. I inexcuseably failed to read the Dark Cavern Welcome Rules, so I think it is appropriate that I take this course of action in fairness to other users.
So Matt, I will be able to read what you write, but will not be able to reply b4 April.
Good luck, may everything turn out well for you and Tina.
