    Dammit why me?

    Here’s the thing. I kinda like someone. (hello someone)
    This is the first guy I’ve liked since the split.

    I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL I’M DOING.
    He lives in another freakin' country.
    So obviously, it just ain’t gonna happen.

    Do you know how much that sucks?

    Big Time.

    I guess at least that means I am totally ‘over it’ as far as past relationships are concerned?
    What’s the point though? Nothing will come of it and I know that, but I can’t help but like him.

    Gahhhh. Maybe I should become a nun.

    Can you be a nun with children?

    I’m screwed. Unfortunately not in the way I’d like to be.

    How far another country we talking? The US or something like that might be challenging, but somewhere in Europe might be doable (although they would have to be flexible and willing to visit you, since it's hard to afford and manage travel with 2 small children!)

    It really sucks though meeting people who live stupidly far away *hugs*

    Hope so...

    He's in Holland, so not too far away in comparison to other places at least.

    It's hard to say. I've tried a long distance relationship before but my issue was we rarely if ever got to see each other in person so over time it just fizzled because she did want someone physically there and it just wasn't possible. My advice would be that if it's going to happen you need to see each with some frequency I'm thinking at least once a month or so. There's also the fact that you have to consider one or both of you will have to relocate eventually. And that certainly is the biggest issue.

    I wish ya the best and hope this helps some.

    If both of you are cool with not being able to see each other in person for long periods of time, then it could work out. My aunt was away from my to-be-uncle for a year and they talked every day on the phone. Now they're happily married.

    Maybe you subconsciously picked him precisely because you can't get into a full on relationship with him?

    I think for now I'm just going to enjoy the ride and see where it takes me...
    Thanks for sharing. :)

    Nice to hear a happy ending there! :)

    October 29, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterSoftthistle

    That... is a very good point.

    I come bearing a cautionary tale!

    After my Mum split with my Dad, she met a bloke from England over the internet. Eventually he moved up here. Turned out me and my brother absolutely hated him, and he basically destroyed the family, and now... well, you've read my blog post today, you know. :P

    I'm not saying this would happen or is even likely, but... just be careful of relationships so "soon" (being a few months) after a split. Sometimes they don't work.

    (To balance that, my Dad is still happily married to the Scottish woman he met about 6 months after the split, though he's not so happy with her kids, but they like him. :P)

    Oh don't you worry, I'm not going to rush into anything too soon. Just nice to have someone to think about etc. ;)
