I'd love to go and see her in person, but she lives on the opposite end of the country. :< When I said it was long-distance, I wasn't kidding.

When I think about our relationship, it really has been my best; we both tried to be open with each other, we talked every single day about nothing and everything, and we encouraged each other when we were feeling down. We're both romantics, so we've both been determined to make it work... but man, now I'm just getting myself mixed up over this. Why are relationships so hard? ;A;

At least you're in the same country!  Go see her. It sounds like you shouldn't really make a decision like breaking up without seeing her. (Well, generally...)

Go see her. It sounds like you shouldn't really make a decision like breaking up without seeing her.

This is my opinion, too. If you've got the money, of course. If she meant enough for you to stick with her for nine months long-distance, she's worth it... and I know for a fact that things that get screwy over a distance often all get better in person.

Good news, everyone!

I finally talked to her last night. I hadn't before because my IRL friends had advised me against making any contact with her, and though I can understand why they wished me to ignore her, it was in hindsight terrible advice. My girlfriend and I aired our concerns, sorted things out, finally admitted what was going on and the problems that we've had.  We both knew that we loved each other, and that we didn't want anybody else. It was never a problem with her personally; I was falling into my old routine of trying to solve her problems for her, and she became frustrated when I couldn't do it. So, we're starting over again; she's got her first appointment scheduled Thursday and we've both agreed to make sure both of us have social lives so that we don't suffocate each other again.

Long story short, we're now back together and happier than ever, and aside from some Facebook drama, no actual harm was done. I really wanna thank you guys for helping me sort through this, and I apologize for the drama, but it seems like things are working out well. Her family's planning on visiting in December, so we'll have at least one more meeting this year. It'd be nice to have more, but at this point neither of us have any disposable income. She's getting back to work on a DQ slime plushie for me, and I'm talking to a couple friends who know how to make jewelry. Don't tell her yet, but I'm wanting to make a necklace out of a trashed Xbox 360 I found- I hope she'll like it. It's gonna be a long three years before I graduate and move up to Seattle, and that's if I don't do grad school, but I'm more determined than ever to make this work. Some of you guys were asking if this girl was worth it, and I can say with all honesty that yes, yes she is.

Good man.

Hoorah! :3

Yay, I love happy endings! *clap clap clap*

Off topic a little bit, but I think we need a human hi-fives thread. You know, for when you've done something really amazing, and you need validation for doing it... Sort of the opposite of this thread.

[Tycho Brahe]

well dont theo, and I'm so glad that it sorted out so well for you in the end.
 

[JoGribbs]

Glad everything worked out in the end.

If I want hugs, this is how far I have to go: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Cambridge&daddr=Leskovac,+Central+Serbia

[LemonScented]

Ah, y'see there's hugs and then there's hugs, bento_smile. I understand that whoever it is who lives in Serbia (or Cambridge, if you're the one who lives in Serbia - not sure which way the map's hooked up) gives unique and special hugs, but there are plenty of perfectly serviceable hugs that could be sourced closer to home. Humans need a lot of hugs, more than people realise, so you need some people for everyday type hugs as well as people for rare ang geographically complex ones.

Today, as I tried to close it, my laptop screen decided it would be great fun to physically uproot itself from the rest of my laptop.

Thankfully, I popped most pieces of the computer back into place and much of it appears to function normally. Still, as far as death rattles go, this has to be one of the worst.


Also, you guys, geography really doesn't matter for hugs anymore, thanks to SCIENCE. We just need to buy a pair of these and mail them around to people.

I actually used to fix that problem with quite a few laptops. Some JB weld and replacement hinges usually did the trick, depending how it up rooted. Sometimes the hinges were upwards of $50. For 4 pieces of metal...

I can't stand my mom's boyfriend who I've lived with for over five years.  He's been a giant dick to me and my brother, and now that I'm moving across the country with him he's marrying my mom.  I've been super nice to him lately, and doing everything I can to make our relationship less hateful, but he's still a being giant prick.  I'll be spending the next four years of my life with him, so I guess the best I can do is try to stay away from him drunk ass.

EDIT: Also, to make matters worse, I'll be very far away from my dad (who I love more than anyone in the world) for a very long time.

[bento_smile]

Oh that sucks! It's rubbish to be stuck in situations like that. /hug

[Zest]

I'm sorry, bro. Internet hugs for ya. :C

[KM]

I'd give you some advice, but frankly anything I'd do in your situation would probably end you up in juvi or a long legal battle.

All I can really say is you might want to consider avoiding him like the plague, that's what I did with my dad.

[Brother Android]

That's awful. Make friends, stick by your brother, and stay out of the house if you can; that's all I can think of.

My mom's last boyfriend was a crack-head...He didn't last that long
