Life is just like airline travel...carry too much baggage & ya gotta pay extra.



And when you die, you have to go to Atlanta for connecting flights.:|


To get to Hell ya gotta connect through Cleveland.:ph34r:

Dude
I'm serious when i say this.
It's time for a road trip.
I know it's 3000 miles, but so fucking what. Get your arse to where ever she is and have a mini holiday that happened to allow you to run into her, pop in to say hi, whatever. Find what ever the excuse you need is to get to where she is and settle this within yourself once and for all.

Whatever the price for plane, train or automobile is, it will be well worth the spending, take your rig too, there's probably a DZ nearby or on the way;)

But seriously get your face in front of hers.

Why don't you look for her on Facebook? Chances are, she's there. Also, it would give you the opportunity to get a feel for the situation so you can avoid embarrassing yourself or her.

I've reconnected (since my impending divorce became impending) with quite a few of my old friends there, including a couple of women I used to pal around with - coworkers & classmates I didn't actually go out with, but now they know I'm a skydiver......

I highly recommend the Facebook thing - it's made this very very awful experience slightly more bearable!

We've kept in touch over the years...email, facebook, etc. So it's not the lack of connection that's an issue. :P

You don't have to answer, and yes, I'm aware it's easier said than done.. Just ask yourself this: if you're upset that you can't find this ideal again.. do you think maybe it's this very train of thought that is actually the problem?? I mean.. Maybe you shouldn't be looking for the same thing again - it couldn't have been perfect, otherwise you'd still be together... You're must be overlooking the stuff that wasn't good about the relationship...

I could be totally wrong here, but based on what I've read so far (in this thread and others) it sounds like 2 things are happening:

1 - You refuse to let go and are actively keeping the flame alive
2 - You are not confronting the issue directly or genuinely looking for closure

It's like every post contains a "woe-is-me" tone, but it seems to me that you are after sympathy to make yourself feel better.. Don't get me wrong.. If you don't want to let go, that's your business.. But perhaps it would help if you at least acknowledged that you are still hanging on..

I'm not trying to be mean.. I'm just pointing out that from this angle it doesn't seem like you actually *want* to let go of this ideal - it sounds like you're sad that you can't find it again. Maybe if you did let go you would discover that what's right for you isn't this fantasy, but someone real that you can only really appreciate if you're not hung up on the past...

Maybe it's a bit like smoking.. If you don't really *want* to quit, you're bound to take it up again..

Incidentally.. Is the real reason you can't travel to meet up because you know it would probably ruin your perfect image of her?


Edit to add: sorry you're having such a hard time with it.. These things are tough.. [:/]

Well heck, let her know how you feel. Go big or go home. That's my advice. :)
Seriously, the biggest rewards in life require us to take a chance. I've always done the best when I've been upfront about how I feel. Good luck. :)
