I can't really say I didn't see this coming though. My girlfriend and I broke up today. She's moving away later this month for college and I still have another year in high school. We thought it would be best to go our separate ways because long distance relationships don't work well. I don't know if I can honestly say I loved her, I don't even know what love really is, but I know that I have never cared more deeply for someone ever. I'm trying to let go of my last ray of hope, I'll be going to the same college after I graduate and I want to hope that we can get back together then, but I know if I keep thinking that, it'll hurt even more as the year goes by. We're going to talk later this week for goodbyes (hopefully not final goodbyes). I'm happy that we're still going to be friends, but I don't know how long it'll take for me to stop thinking about her constantly.

I don't really expect anyone to respond, I just needed to get this off my chest.

If you guys really care for each other, there's no reason you shouldn't get back together in a year.

Sorry, to hear that. I know that feeling of separation that you are experiencing, and I know that it hurts. You'll pull through.

Regarding seeing her again in college, I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you, but don't think of discounting the possibility. Keep in contact with her throughout the year, and don't expect much, because it'll hurt even more if it doesn't work out. However, you may pleasently surprised.

My condolences (once again). But like I said--it could've been a lot worse. At least she didn't drag it out, that much is admirable.

What college is she going to? Also, if you check this thread, I should be over sometime around 10-11 tomorrow. Maybe a bit later.

My sympathies are with you.

Man, that sucks very much. But personally I don't think geographic location should get in the way of a relationship.

On the other hand, if you kinda saw it coming, it's probably best to move on. You have to let yourself know that, even though you cared for her so much, she's not the only girl out there for you.

Then again, back to my first point; If you love her enough, don't let her slip away. Love conquers all, dude. Good luck.

Bad times

This is likely on it's way for me too. My GF is going to DC next semester then probably going to go to grad school on the East Coast. We'll keep in thouch and what not, but I'm still going to miss her/

That sucks man... My girlfriend is moving to Australia in a year for good and I know its going to hurt...

You guys can't keep together for a year? How long have you been together? I'm not trying to be heartless, but man, I've been away from people for a year before and still felt thigns for them immediatly when I see them again. If you had good communication, I don't see why a year wouldn't be a good test of your relationship.
