My girlfriend broke up with me [View All]

[Fenris]

Consider this post a shameless attempt to attract some sympathy (or empathy), because I am in desperate need of consolation. Also, please note that I have just had a few Cerveza Pacifico's, so I might seem a bit off.

I met my girlfriend the very last semester of my senior year in highschool, in April of 2002. At the time, I was not interested in girls, per se, and had settled on pursuing at least a few years of Morrissey-style celibacy. I was not instantly attracted to my girlfriend, as she was a bit overweight and like I said, I had no use for a relationship. But over last summer, I grew quite fond of her, and eventually, we started dating. She was, unfortunately (or fortunately perhaps) a year younger than I, and I had been accepted to a university that was close, but not close enough. So I, like a lovesick fool, decided to go to the local community college instead so I could be closer to her. And I had the most magical, wonderful year, until May, when she began to change. She had so much going on with graduation and the end of high school that there was just no time for me, which made me feel bad. She nearly broke up with me, but I persuaded her to give us another chance.

She did. But I noticed she grew less affectionate. And she seemed more fatalistic, which I attribute to fear of leaving me for college. And she is. So tonight, after I returned from a weekend in Austin she came over to tell me she was breaking up with me.

The thing is, she still loves me. She just cannot handle me along with everything else right now. And I don't blame her. And I hold out hope, because I love her. I shall give her the space she needs. But I do not think that this is over. Neither does anyone else I've talked to. I suppose she just needs a break. And I will oblige.

I wish my name was still smiths_fan right now...because that's what I feel like.
