Smile Help me pals

I decided today to cut things off with Stan. Im trying to be strong about it, but its starting to "hurt" a little. Everything bewteen he and I is GREAT! SUPER! WONDERFUL even.... but I found out he's leaving for 3 years, not 2 and I really do not want to have a long distance relationship. In my heart I know it wont work its too great of a distance as well as time. I want more for myself. I dont see him asking me to marry him or anything like that, so I feel its best to move on.

All I want to do is grow old with someone, white picket fence, yada yada yada... but it always falls through. <sigh>

I dont have a best friend or anyone to talk to about these things without feeling like a burden, so I just wanted to put it out there, to kind of get it off my chest because my heart is just aching.

Do you guys have any thoughts on this? Am I being too hasty? Im sad. Thanks pals!

Chicken,
I'm sorry that this is happening. You have seemed so happy with him. Personally, I think that doing it now will be less painful than putting it off til he leaves. Just my opinion. I will keep you in my thoughts. Remember, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. Big hugs to you.

WOW! I'm so sorry, but I don't blame you for doing it now. I tried a long distance thing once and it didn't work. No fault of my own, but out of sight out of (his) mind. Stan is a cool guy, and if it was meant to be then it will be. Just know that you are no burden. You can call me when ever you want, anytime day or night. I'm here for you.

Bridget,

Hey darling, no burden at all. I understand your reasons, and I'm here for ya. Three years is a very long time, and you're not just dealing with yourself, you've got to think about your boys too. I'm sorry you're hurting, and wish I could hug you and make it all better.

I grew up a military brat. It was hard to see my mom go through with my dad leaving for a year or two at a time overseas. It put a lot of strain on their marriage. Everytime he came home, it was like starting their relationship all over again. They eventually divorced. Even when the distance is shorter, it's still distance. A lot can change in those 3 years. Heck, look how much many of us have changed in just one year!
