    About this ebook

    When Love Stands Still, Move On!, is the story of all women living in relationships with men, the same men, for years, with no ring or marriage in sight. If you asked them why, they would probably not have an answer; they could not begin to explain, except to say, because I love him.

    When we fall in love, when we become comfortable with someone, and when we give our hearts completely to that person, we find ourselves doing so many things that we just cant explain; things that we will probably one day regret.

    Very few women can honestly say that the ring and the marriage are not important to them after being in a long term relationship. Its what we tell ourselves to get through the reality that, after years, the man that weve loved for so long has never asked us to marry and maybe never will.

    When a woman commits herself to loving a man for a long period of time; for years, and he does not ask her to marry him its as if he is saying to her, the woman whose life he has coveted, whose body he has made use of, and whose love he has accepted for years, that she is not worthy of marriage.

    For those women who are living in a life long courtship, you are not alone. This is the story of Gabriela Tymes. Like so many other women, Gabriela has been in a relationship with the same man for years, with no ring, no marriage and no asking in sight. His name is Donovan.

    Cheryl E. Williams

    Cheryl E. Williams was born in the city of Bronx, NewYork, and raised in the city of Newark, New Jersey. She received her high school education from Saint Vincent Academy in Newark. In 1981, she received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Rutgers University, Livingston College, also in New Jersey. In 1985, she became a single mother and raised a son, who would eventually receive his Bachelor of Science degree from Hampton University, in Hampton, Virginia. Her son is now 25 years old. In 1999, after her son became a little older, she began her career with the Judiciary of Middlesex County, as a Judiciary Clerk IV. Since that time she has worked her way up to the Assistant Division Manager, where she presently remains. After dedicating her time to raising her son, Ms. Williams began writing. When Love Stands Still, Move On is her second book. In 2005, she became a first time author with her first book, entitled Sister Friends. Her new book was inspired, not only by her relationship experiences, but also by the experiences of many women who find themselves being sent messages in their relationships that they take too long to receive.
