So, as I mentioned, the reason I flew over to my SO last weekend was that we've been having problems. Well, since I got back, I've been hearing from her less and less, and just got this dread feeling of inevitability in the pit of my stomach...
She ended it yesterday. So that's that. Tried and failed. Bugger.
I just wanted to say thanks for the support that you guys gave us - it really was appreciated. I don't regret having tried this for a second. I don't regret having flown out there. I don't regret the time, the effort, none of it. It was worth trying.
For anyone else who is new to this (like me), and reads this: please don't be put off. The potential is worth struggling for. I had a wonderful time with Jess, and I was proud to be in an LDR with her. I love her, and that was worth fighting for. It's a shame it didn't work, but sometimes these things don't. Do keep trying yourselves - you'll find plenty of great examples here of people who do make it work. Look to them, not me.
Gah, that was a bit pretentious, wasn't it?
I had a dream last night. I normally have very odd, almost kafkaesque, dreams. But this was straightforward. I was looking for someone in an American shopping mall. I found them. It was her. She hugged me. At least I could draw on real life for that dream.
Thanks again guys. It's been great. Crazy, but great.
