Well done Nick, I have never been in a relationship, but you seem to be reacting very maturely, whereas I hear a lot about people being emotionally damaged and finding great difficulty in breaking up. I was happy to read that you were in a positive relationship, and hope you enjoy some more.
I defiantly did not with my 1st girlfriend & I deeply regretted going that route.

Weird, just few days ago Megz was posting a thread about wedding rings......
....and now this?
I think it's safe to say that the honeymoon phase is over.
It was a few weeks Boo, We didn't realize how intransigent her parents were about us not being alone together & she's gotten busier & a lot more stressed with school. We had an argument last week because I was frustrated due to not wanting to simply accept everything & I felt like I had been putting forth more effort & compromising.

Nick007 Im very sorry to hear about what happened.
Ive read her side of the story this morning and you both seem to be taking this pretty well, which is a good thing.
Im sure you learnt quite a few things about relationships from this one and hopefully you´ll eventually find a suitable partner that lives closer.
She's more than welcome to post here if she would like. The distance was a hassle but I was very willing to relocate but life circumstances & things with her parents made that unrealistic rite now & for quite a while.

I was shocked to read the title of this thread. Sorry to hear it Nick
By the looks of your original post you've handled things quite well, putting things into perspective very quickly so that's a positive
It was not a shock. I barely heard from her this week because she was very busy with school & we had an argument last week; realization of things started sinking in.

i'm so sorry Nick. don't blame yourself as it isn't your fault (sounds like it's nobody's fault - it just didn't work out). i am certain you brought joy into her life, so please try not to fixate on the negatives. it sounds like you are coming out the other end in ok shape so just keep trying to cope. maybe get some sleep if you can, as lack of sleep can lead to a meltdown or distortion or fixation. i know you're strong and you'll be ok (you too, Megz).
Yeah; it's life circumstances & us being kinda opposite in a couple wrong ways. I kept fixating years ago & I ended up having a breakdown; I really don't want to be the kind of person I was then & I've done quite a lot of analyzing since then. I got about 3 hours of sleep which isn't much less than what I normally can get lately.
