The man I love is moving to the other side of the country
Question Posted Thursday March 23 2006, 11:11 pm
About 2 years ago I met a man..We started out as friends, very close friends..After awhile feelings started developing on both sides. He told me from the beginning he wanted to enlist in the Army. I tried to talk him out of it..But you really can't mess with someone's dream. Things didn't work out between us for various reasons, one being that I didnt want to move with him when he moved to TX later this year. I spoke to him tonight for the first time in quite awhile. He is off for training tomorrow all the way on the other side of the nation. He'll be back in 2 months..I feel like crap. He's so happy..Almost a different person. That's not why I feel so bad, I'm happy for him. But I really miss him. He was in basic for the last 2 months and we didn't speak at all. I always thought of him but was too scared to contact him. I just worked up the guts tonight and tried it, just for the hell of it. So it was a shocker when he told me he was leaving tomorrow. We discussed what happened with us a little bit..Then he said he had to get up early and said he hoped to talk to me again soon. If I didn't contact him I would have never known. I probably wouldn't have talked to him again, since hes moving to TX after he gets back..I feel like its too late. Like theres nothing I can do now but part of me would just leave everything behind here and follow him. Is that crazy? Would I be crazy to do that? For all I know we might still have the same problems. I miss him like hell...and deep down I feel like i'd be making a HUGE mistake if didn't just..Up and leave here. And go with him when he returns. But at the same time I think of my education, my career, my family...I don't know what kind of advice I want. I don't know..opinions, thoughts, input, anything you've got..23/female. Thanks.

If you really love him, follow him anywhere.
They have schools in Texas I've heard!
The biggest obstacle would be leaving family. I think they would understand. You can visit. With the net they are never far away. They will have someplace to go too. To visit you!
Talk to the guy. If the feelings are still there and you want to commit to each other then I say you have to do it.
