im not going to pretend that all of these things never crossed my mind
i WAS going to pretend to be above them all but since you bastards insist on sweeping what righteous stand i was on lemme confess this:

i sometimes wish we DID break up because i wonder if i have been with her too long, shes my first and i'd be a fool to think first love last forever, i love her now and am happy, but i suspect it may not be the best for me (in keeping with my orig post) to exclude alot out of my life to include her

After having studied abroad and seeing some long distance relationships in action (not mine, was unattached at the time), I have one piece of advice -- don't be an @sshole boyfriend. The easiest path to losing her is by complaining that she's enjoying herself while you aren't there. Eventually, she'll resent hearing that she should somehow restrain this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity she has, and she'll decide that her future is best without you.

If she's worth waiting for, then let her enjoy her time overseas. If you trust her, then you have nothing to worry about. If you can't trust her, then you have more serious issues than her being overseas.

She's probably hooked up with every Gunther, Heinrich, and Adolf that she's come across. Yup. Better get some poontang while you can to even out the score.

Seriously, if you she is the only friend that you currently have, then you need to reevaluate your situation.

Exactly! Sad but true. Oh well.

4. She has fun hanging out with him and his friends.
5. She realizes she's falling in love with him, he feels the same (all part of his plan, but he acts like it occurred naturally).
6. Dear John letter.

LOL, that just about sums it up.


PS- to all you readers out there, this list also serves as an instruction sheet telling you how to pick up hot tourists/exchange students.

Instead of making yourself sick working yourself into a breakup why not sit for a few minutes and remember all the things you like about this woman,the ways she makes you feel good.Now sit there and try to be honestly happy that somebody you love is having this wonderful chance.

Then get off your rump and get out there locally to see and do anything and everything cool you can think of,so that when she comes back you'll have great stuff and not misery and anger to share with her.
