'Taking a break'
As those of you who took note of my being depressed and lame in PA know, I have been having relationship problems as of late. I finally got to talk to Carrie today.
Now I understand what went wrong in the first place. We are in two completely different places. She's very busy with school. She's triple majoring (Art History, Art Education, and French), and wants to graduate in four years because she can't afford to go longer. School is her first priority, above everything else.
I, on the other hand, am not concerned with school at all. I put her first always.
There's really no way to meet in the middle there.
After an hour and a quarter of talking, silence, and me crying way too much, we finally got everything sorted out. That's all I have wanted; to know what was going on, and what was going to happen.
We are taking a break right now, at my suggestion. I don't even know what 'taking a break' means, but oh well.
I feel better now. I'm not particularly happy, of course, but this is the best I've felt in almost two months. I'm just glad we ended on a good note. I don't want to lose her as a friend. That would suck!
So, um. What exactly does it mean to 'take a break'?
Considering I've never had sex, that won't be a factor.
I also want to thank those of you on here who have supported me through this. It really means a lot.
I think it means that your relationship has not officially ended, but you're free to be un-coupled for a while.
To be perfectly honest though, you most likely will not get back together.
There is hope, but not for us.
Yeah, I wasn't really planning on holding my breath.
Well, see now I really feel like a dick for saying that the other day..... 
How old are you Ian ?
Haha. It's fine. I'm just glad something happened. Hell isn't quite heaven, but it's better than purgatory.
How old do you think I am?

I thought you were old. Like 29. But I think I'm wrong now....
Yeah, you're off a bit. But 29 sounds good. I feel older than I am.

How old are you?!?!?!?!?!
29 is [I][B]old[/B][/I] now!?! FUCK.
[QUOTE=Lady Chaos;1098856]29 is [I][B]old[/B][/I] now!?! FUCK.[/QUOTE]
I was joking I promise Chaos. 
To me old will alway be my mom's age..... so 40's.
Its okay. I'm not 29 yet, still got a couple years to go.
Oh, Ian I'm sorry you guys couldn't work things out. Sometimes its for the best though, life is funny like that. Like something terrible happens and you think the world should end, and then something totally unexpectedly good happens. I'm mostly just talking out my ass trying to cheer you up, but you never know.
Good for you Ian, you wanted it to end on good terms and it did. I suppose that's as much as you can hope for. You're dealing with this very maturely, it's impressive. You'll be alright.
Tell me how old you are god damnit. :mad:
Fine. Don't.
Haha. If you must know, I'm sixteen. But 29 sounds better to me.
Thank you all 
I'd rather be 16 right now. Let's trade.
Alright!
Yay!
So how's it feel to be 16?
...
You're only 16?
Why didn't anyone tell me??!
I got teenage advice in BUCKETFULS!!
It feels awesome! How does it feel to be 27? Don't forget to pay the bills while I'm young.
Wooo now I can finally buy alcohol and cigarettes and vote and get drafted and serve jury duty and all of my attractive friends are jailbait!
It's everything I wanted and more!
I'm surprised no one has called me asking if I could buy them booze yet.

It's not exactly something I like to flaunt. Kind of like having an alcoholic for a father or a hooker for a mother.

August 9.

Oh fuck! I forgot about that. Hey, Ian, I'm gonna need you to buy me some cigs and booze. Oh, yeah, and I'm gonna need some rides to some places. You don't mind, right?
Nice, Mine is the 29th of August.
Haha, no, not at all, as long as you can throw in some GAS MONEY.
Muahahaha.
Also, I'm keeping the change from the cigarettes. Because apparently everyone does that.
Cool. I've got gas money, cuz I think I still get an allowance or something.
Haha. Gotta love the allowance ...
Good Luck with the break Ian, you made a good decision if you are already feeling better.

But usualy " take a break " means that relationship is over....maybe it sounds zinic...
Oh ok, 16.
I was starting to think you were 13 because you kept dodging my question.... :rolleyes:
But you're I think you're actually older then me, but I know why you didn't want to tell me..... good luck with the stuff though.
Start dating someone else. If she's that important to you, then you need to accept that triple-majoring is a big deal, and she's got a lot of shit to get through. If it ends on friendly terms, it can always start again at a later date.
Don't cling onto something destructive, even if it feels good. Eventually it will feel bad.

It seems to have ended on friendly terms! I'm not going to be dating anyone else, though. I've dated two different people this year; that seems to be my yearly maximum. Haha.
