Title: Long Distance Relationships (Live Journal Entry)
Post by: IDE on Sep 15, 2007, 01:00:01 PM
What is your stance on these?

I think I'm going to cut mine off.  She's forgotten to call me twice at the end of the night, sure that's only a slight slip up but I think it's a sign of things to come (She was calling me every night before) already my emotional attachment has retreated from her and formed into a hardened blade around my arm (like in Blood+) that I will use to slash the tethers that bind us.  I'm glad I feel remorse and sadness but at the same time I'm way to accepting of "what must be done" which bothers me, but there it is.  Besides I always have my old "The whole thing was predicated on lie" to fall back on...or do I?  How we felt didn't have anything to do with my age...ohhh should I tell her at the end?  "And By the way..." BAM!

No, I don't want to make this any more painful for her.

*sigh*

WHEN I WAS A YOUNG BOY~~~~~~

You? In a long distance relationship? Considering the way women drape over you?

Blasphemy!

I tend to think they don't work. Not so much cause I don't think people from very distant parts can't love each other. Not that at all, but there is just so much that can't expressed properly through things like the net or the phone. They can read whatever they want into what you say and twist it to mean what they think means even if you didn't mean that at all. And you can't just make them listen to you or try to explain. If they hang up on you or like won't open your emails then what are you going to do? I mean you can't just speak your mind or heart anyway and hope it hits home, cause they don't have to listen to you.

And then of course you come to that day. And it'll happen, it always does. The day when it comes down to "We have to be closer, or we can't do this anymore." Doesn't matter if it takes week, months or years it'll come. And when it does if you can't make it happen. Either your job won't let you, or you don't have the money, or you just don't want to. Then you're boned. The LDR has tons more problems then the SDR (Short Distance  Relationship) and you get none of the perks. You know acutally getting to spend time with the other person.

Not to mention how expensive it is for them to travel to you or you to them those few times you do get to seem them person. The only LDR i've ever seen work, are the ones where they hang along enough for it to become a SDR.

Don't bother with it.  I think it can truly work for some ppl, but seeing as you're bothered by not being called twice, I don't think you're one of them.

Post by: IDE on Sep 16, 2007, 04:27:17 PM
Well I haven't ended it, and she apologized for not calling and is still in love with me apparently.

I'm just really flighty in these situations.  My love is like a feral kitten that you're trying to domesticate...a feral kitten that is actually a cat that's been lying about it's age.

Long-distance romantic relationships are only different versions of pre-arranged stupid marriages. Or dumb-ass betrothals. 

Defeats the purpose of living in a free society.

I can't go into them right now I'm experiencing exquisite emotional pain and suffering.  I didn't think I could feel this way anymore.  I wonder if after this scars over it will be that much harder to get involved and so on and so on until my armor is impenetrable.

Agreed. When you go on about the chick you just bonned and threw away you give like a thesis, but when it's something we might actually care about we get one sentance?

She couldn't stand being away from me and thought of me moving to LA and being gone for months was making her miserable (When I have a relationship with a girl we bond on the ethereal plane so any sundering of our intertwined ley lines causes massive psionic damage). 

I kind of drove her to the break up conclusion, which now that I think of it was a bad idea because I have no one to talk to down here except for this girl I used to bang and my friend in Boca.  There was a lot of crying, even I shed a tear or two.  Then today while in an MRI machine I heard the song "Return of the Mack" and my mind was eased for some reason.  Also, this is the good ending because if this relationship continued to get more serious I'd eventually have to reveal my true age.

The funny thing is in some ways I relish the mental battle that takes place when something like this happens.  The last 2 or 3 break ups were easily vanquished.  This is the first one in 6 years to pose a challenge.  Part of my mind wants to wallow in sadness and I have to partition that off and overcome it.  You get better at this every time you break up.  I'd gotten so good at it that I thought that no relationship break up (and by proxy the person themselves) would matter to me anymore...but I was wrong.

*LOTR music*

Once more an epic battle rages for control of my mind!  Who will rise to the challenge and drive the denizens of the emo portal back to the plane of despair?  NEW MAX CHARACTER LEVEL! FLYING MOUNTS! YOU ARE NOT READY!

She hasn't called you ONE night and you are already bitching and thinking about it more than you should? geez, you are such a woman. get some cojones man
Title: Re: Long Distance Relationships (Live Journal Entry)
Post by: IDE on Sep 22, 2007, 11:59:52 AM
Being able to tell what other people are thinking by their behavior and demeanor is hardly acting like a woman. And I was right, she was sad, and now we're done*. And it was 2 nights (in a row)! That's "dos noches" for you. Remember 1 is different from 2 here in America.



*Edit: I just noticed that she sent me a 4:30am message.  Probably suffering from withdrawls.

Guessing someone's emotions based on "phone behaviour"?? i don't think so. That you correctly guessed it doesn't mae you an "expert" either (if there's such a thing). My friend was just doing the same thing the other day. "omg why hasn't he called me? he doesn't like me anymore! omg maybe he's with his ex! OMG OMG!"
Please.

Aren't you the great cassanova? just get over it and go find someone closer to you.

I wouldn't go into hysterics about what she might be doing.


But that is the bottom line.  I should just find someone else.  I guess I can be a bit of a romantic pussy sometimes.
