What is not meant to be...

It has happened three times in a row now and she is heart broken. I met this young girl in her late teens a few years ago. She was so shy and would never speak to anyone. She would attend all the youth programs in church but never made friends with anyone. I finally decided to get her out of her misery and made friends with her. She is a very sweet thing in her mid twenty's now.. This girl is very calm, well educated and is well employed too. ..she works very hard and her bosses are so impressed with her that she has had three promotions in three years. We have celebrated her successes with lunches ice creams over the years. Now my young friend is terrible anguished. She has been engaged to be married thrice and all three times she has been ditched.. She is not able to figure out what is happening.. I guess it maybe just her painfully shy nature that is at the root of this. Whatever it is she is so forlorn and heart broken at the moment. The confidence level is at the lowest. I guess i will have to be talking to her and supporting her emotionally until she feels better.. I am really sad.. but i guess those guys don't truly deserve her.. she takes time to warm up and talk but she is a very beautiful person inside out. This is not fair at all.. but maybe its not meant to be.. I believe that the best is yet to come.. but will this heart broken child see what I see..

You are right, they don't deserve her and her sweet heart is yet to come. I hope her current pain will lead to her best time in life. Ups and downs are common in life. Let her have enough courage to pass through this bad phase in life.

@sofssu I agree it is difficult to cope with such kind of situation especially in case of marriage. But I wish, she must be focused on the positive side. Please help her and support as much as from your end.

Have you talked with her yet on how he treats those boyfriends? Maybe you can advise of ways how to make the boyfriends like her so much.

@sofssu Probably, along the way, he met a hot girl.

@SIMPLYD I was with her for three hours.. apparently this guy told her she was too simple for his taste.. now i am really upset. She is a simple girl. no airs about her, dresses very simple that is who she is.. he knew it before he got engaged.

It's weird that three guys decided to drop her before the marriage, I think that there is something more than the fact she is shy. May be she is scared by men and she does not really want to be married.

@LadyDuck She is scared of men, no doubt, but wants to be married .. She just needs a bit of time to thaw .. otherwise she is a normal girl. I guess she is not very willing to go out with them and comes trough as someone very old fashioned.

@sofssu This is exactly what I immediately thought, she is scared of men and she does something that makes them angry and upset.

@LadyDuck Could be, she just won't talk when she is scared of someone.. she is really very timid.

She's mid 20s now and maybe stronger enough to understand and known these things. True love will come on her and because of that heartbreak experienced she will soon hsve her happiness. She is well employed and that's goid enough some good guys would find her.

@ilocosboy practically speaking yes.. but the heart doesn't take so well to reason.. does it? at the moment she is devastated.

Being rejected thrice is not something that one can take in easily. She will need a lot of counselling to move on

@responsiveme That is what we have been telling her the last couple of times around.. its like repeating the same lines over and over again and they become meaningless.
