My sad love story.

Hey guys,

I'm having trouble sleeping tonight, so I thought I'd tell you all about my life at the moment, and see what you guys have to say.

Well, I live in Australia. Perth, and Im 20. about 6 months ago, I fell for a girl I work with, who, initially, I thought was completely "out of my league" She's an artist, a model, and is just completely amazing, a couple of years older, but in many ways, very similar to me. Anyway, at the time I fell for her, I was coming out of a relationship, of roughly 2.5years, and its really amazing how the world chooses to work some times, so our friendship started to grow, we started seeing movies together, having coffees, ice creams, went out for dinner a few times, we even sat awake until the sun came up once, working hard away on a wax version of the Bon jovi SS pendent, which I was to get made by a jeweller friend of hers. So I was falling for her, and finally one night I revealed my feelings, and she laughed at me... ha, and said something along the lines of "its about bloody time!" And it began, that was 3 months ago - how time flies! And as relationships go, everything has been beautiful.

Whats so sad about this tale you may be asking?
The night we got together, was also the night she found out she had been awarded to finish her fine art degree at a prestigeous art school in Paris, France! This has been her lifelong dream. From the very beginning of our relationship we've known she'll be leaving on September the 1st. Thats less than 10 days away. The other night we made a decision to cool things when she leaves, it was difficult, sad, but ultimately, the only honest thing to do. She will be gone for an undetermined time, 1 year at the least, and then who knows.. we've only been together for 3 months... Last night she layed her head on my chest, I asked her what she was thinking about and she replied "About you, Im going to miss you."

In a way I feel bad, for letting the relationship get to this stage, because this is her dream. In a way this sad story is happy, how many relationships can end happily. I don't think the reality of her leaving has hit me yet, every now and then I think of little things I do with her, and then I tell myself, you won't be able to do that anymore... When she told me she was going to miss me, I have never seen so deeply into someone's soul. I should've responded with something like this:

"Don't miss me, There'll be moments that you will think about me, and there will be moments where I'll think about you. And there'll be moments when we'll be thinking about each other at the exact same time, and at that moment we'll be together..." pretty corny...

Anyway guys, thanks for listening to the ol' stay, I appreciate you guys, even if at times, I freak you out a bit with the Arm Hair character.

Peace, and love, always
Stay.

sad story man and she sounds great but i'll give u my 2cents.

in the grand scheme of things 3 months isn't a great deal of time for a relationship. u don't know every little thing about each other yet that can annoy u or stuff like that, long distance things especially as long as that usually don't come out on top at the end of it.

so if i was u i'd either pack a bag with a beret and striped tanktop, which she might not necesarilly want u to do or call it a day and remain friends. sadly there's more to a relationship than liking each other alot uve got to have physical contact.


strange thing love.

it can tear us apart and make us survive at the same time.

Bloody oath bro, bloody oath...

Exactly 3 months isnt long enough, we've broken up in advance, but are still gonna remain the same till the moment she leaves... its hard. But you gotta look at it as an experience, and cherish the 3 months, just like a favorite movie that you can always go back and rewatch... A perfect scene from the film of my life.

I'm so sorry for you ... There's not much to say ...
We all knew some difficult moments like the one you're living, it hurts so much.
Don't stay alone !!!

Thankyou. It is sad. but I'll be fine, time to concentrate on myself for a while, be single, live some goals!

Meet lots of nice new ladies...

Almost cried when I was reading this....
This is really sad. Remember the good moments with her, don't think too much about future, time will help you. Wish you all the best.

fine art does do that too u...its like a drug...u know one thing u shouldnt ever forget is that no one can take away your memories of eachother, nor what you have been thru and felt, to the smell of her hair to the touch of her skin or the glow in her eyes and smile....you still have that.

its something which gets me thru when i miss my wife, cos we are long distance for the time being, im finishing my degree and she will be opening her own clinic in floirda...just hang on tight...

Ow my God ... I also almost cried ! I've never got the feeling to be loved really (Well I mean in the love-way ! Of course by family and friends !) But the 'things' I already had weren't love if you look back at it ... I just think it's sad that you have found what you're looking for and you have to say goodbye ... I do think it's a good decision from the girl to go to France ! If it's her dream, she must do !!!!!! So that's a good thing !
I must say, you stay pretty cool with it ! If it was me, I would be torn apart like hell !!

Well biiiiiig Belgian hug from here

Wow, I'm really sorry hun. I think it is really great that she realized her dreams, and that she is going after them. It just sucks that those dreams can't be accomplished by you... enjoy the time you have left. I know how it feels to have someone you care about be far away. At least you know that its better to break it off before she leaves... it will be easier for the both of you, even if it doesn't seem that way now. I wish you the best of luck!
