Leaving Soon...

[dgridley]

I've been gradually getting out of domains as a form of speculation.. from over 150 domains, I now have less than a dozen and of those, I'll most likely only keep 3-4.

In any case, I expect to be moving soon. My present girlfriend and I are splitting up after 3 years.. the house is in her name so I'm elected to move.

At this point, it could be a few weeks, or a couple months until I relocate, but I most likely won't have access to the internet initially at least so I expect to be offline awhile.

I'm not saying goodbye yet, as I'll be around at least a couple more weeks.. but just giving a heads up. I'll keep you all posted...

Sorry to hear that Dave, best of luck wherever life leads you. Look forward to seeing you back sooner rather than later.

wow you've been here for a year already, with 5000+ posts! That's... inspiring.
I think Namepros needs people like you to keep the forum going.

If she's saying she's bored, take her on holiday, or go somewhere with her, that will truely astound her. But, tell her that you two should take a break for a month first, and tell her that you will take her away somewhere after that period.

That way, you can stay at home for a month, yet, you still have a chance to get her back....

Dave,
I hope you get back on your feet quick and online fast!
Good luck,
RickyG

Yeah, if only it were so easy.. I have honestly tried everything I can think of.. and we just came back from a week at the casinos not long ago.

She's giving me time now... but doesn't want to work on the relationship and says she doesn't want to give me false hope. The more I talk about working on things, the more adamant she get s that it's over.

Women fall in love and out of love faster than men.. and it's going to take me awhile to "catch up" to her in this..

We're talking over money right now and the best way to separate.. maybe after we're apart for awhile, she'll come to miss the relationship.And, who knows, maybe it's for the best...

Ouch.

Well, as they say

"Absence only makes the heart grow fonder"

I have a feeling she just wants a bit of space, I would think she'll come round in the end, just don't push it. Just the odd hint occasionally that you still care for her.

Thats the one, Tom.... dont push it.
Dave, sorry for the way this has worked out for you. We must remember life is about change. You cant "talk her into it", that only leads to resentment and pain for both of you, she has made a decision about her life and if you truly care for her you must respect this. Think about who she is. Who she wants to be. Understand she has put a lot of thought into this and is showing great courage going forward. Remember, this is her loss as well and must be feeling as sad about it as you.
We must make the changes in our lives work in our favor by looking forward, consider the positive aspects of new opportunities brought on by new enviroments and social interaction.
I know this sounds cold my friend, love and being loved is our goal throughout our lives, but will only come... in it's own time, on it's own terms and we cannot change what isnt there.
Move on with your life as she is moving on with hers. The best we can hope for is that she has made the right decision, and remain good friends. Thats whats important, because one cant be happy unless both are happy. It just doesnt work any other way.
You'll be just fine. You are a good man, you are an intelligent man, you are a caring man. Keep your thoughts positive and positive will prevail.
We gotta play hand we're dealt, just remember the best cards dont always win the pot.
Peace brother, I wish you well at the start of this new journey.
Kenny

good luck to ya dave, I had a similiar situation where I had a gf of 3 years wanna take a break and I was cool with it, I moved out she called everyday saying she missed me so I hung out with her occasionally, then she came to her senses and wanted to get back together but I had already met someone better so she was out of luck. Of course now I am single again haha but thats the way it goes. Stay strong dave and don't try to force things, if it's meant to be it will come back together, if not move on and look for the next Mrs.Dave. Take care buddy :wave:

 

[dgridley]

Thanks all for the advice.. she's still sticking to her "guns".. but like you all say, absense makes the heart grow fonder.. see ya all when I get back online!
