3 months is a long time. It could work but only if the relationship had a strong foundation before the breakup. The biggest obstacle is that oftentimes during the interim, one or both of you will find someone else.
Exactly. I could do without the sex and stuff as long as I could see her. We honestly don't fight that much, she's just afraid that my temper is something that won't be changed, and that's not something she wants around her future kids. She also realizes that she has problems of her own that need to be resolved before any marriage can be discussed, and if we're not working on stuff in order to get married, what's the point of this relationship at our age?
For the record, "plutonic" means formed by solidification of magma deep within the earth and crystalline throughout I assume you mean "platonic"...I guess she's breaking up with you because of your atrocious spelling?
Good luck with the girl trouble RM95. What I have found is that if it is meant to be, you guys will work it out, if not, well..... As for jaywalking, that is insane...... DD
RIET, I think we definitely have a strong foundation to do it, but the second concern is one of mine as well. Of course, if that happens, then it wasn't meant to be anyway.
Damn RM95... Sorry about your recent troubles. Good luck man. Playing some ball on Saturday may be a good form of stress relief though.
FWIW RM95, my wife and I had 2 such "breakups" during the three years we dated. It gave us a chance to work out issues we had in our indivdual lives before becoming one. What we realized is that we always kept coming back to each other. We were then able to get married and stay married for 16 years now. Oh, and this weekend in Houston is a great idea. Take your mind off things.
A jaywalker who likes to argue with cops. It's not hard to tell that you are still in your 20's. When you grow up you will learn that it is best to just take your ticket and move on. Unfortunately, some of us have to learn the dumb way. Good luck with the relationship thing.
Okay its time for the STUPID bird story... If you let that little bird go and it comes back.......It was meant to be..... Other wise get a dog...they are extremely loyal.
Doh. I didn't get to finish my post. I've only had one long term relationship in my life (lasting longer than 2 years) and we had two breakups in that time. The first one lasted for 4 months. We became friends with benefits during that time. Not the usual definition of FWB, rather than sex we just had good old fashioned make out sessions until one of us stopped and said "We shouldn't be doing this anymore!" Talk about a wild, wierd, and frustrating place to be in (especially for drapg Jr.) The second time we broke up was the official one. Tried the friends thing, didn't work. Haven't spoken in many, many years since. The point of my long, boring tale is that I was so sure she was "the one" back then... and now I look back on it and laugh at myself. Not that I'm comparing my situation to yours one bit, but time and distance puts a lot of things in perspective.
I think you're right drapg, my main concern with the whole time and distance thing would be our ability to stick to that. I can see us going a week, and then one of us going over to the other one's place. That's why I feel we should just tone it down a bit, and do it that way.
Oh boy.....my wife got a ticket from one of those guys back when she worked in downtown Dallas......she said he was a DICK! I have to admit though.....If I was a cop, and the only transportation they gave me was a bike, I'd be a dick too. I mean....a bicycle in say....Portland or the flatter subdivisions of San Fran would be one thing, but somewhere in Texas....that would suck every day.
"What's the matter boys, they take away your vroom-vrooms?" Name the classic movie that line is from.
