The big dilemma

- total lack of involvement and/or caring about my family and friends

- non-supportivness of my goals (be it athlete, professional or personal)

- Not liking Law and Order.

And, of course, my favorite quote: "If you can make a woman laugh, you can do anything with her". If he can't make me laugh anymore... well, yeah.

There's also the question: why are you with him? Are you still learning from/with him? Are you still emotionally invested in making it work? Why? (or Why not?). I broke up with my ex for a laundry list of reasons, most of which boiled down to: I didn't really care about his opinion, I wasn't gaining anything personally from his presence in my life, it was just habit, etc etc  (plus...Stake had nicer legs, so, you know...heh)

Friendships/Relationships have lifespans...they don't have to last forever. And that's ok.

I would say (from experience) if you are doubting it in anyway then it probably isn't right. I wasted a year and a half of my life in my 20's no less over a girl that I shouldn't have been with after the first six months. It was like Chippy said purely out of routine and not wanting to be alone. You are a great girl Laura, and you deserve a man who will give you what you need. Besides if you are single you have more time to train.

Oh, big problem right there. One of the nicest things I can say about one of my exes is that I was never so mad at him that I didn't want to sleep with him.

Bail, chicky. It's over. Don't waste his time or your time in something that isn't right.

Plus, you'll have more time to spend with us in CoJ screwing around. And, you know, with the training and all.

Yeah, this is gonna get worse before it gets better.

It sucks, but it'll be all right in the end. I promise!!!

Good luck

<----Offers shoulder to cry on.  Make yourself feel better, go buy a new bike or something.

I don't see why not.  Wha't the point of spending your time/money to travel if you're going to go, break up, and most likely leave?? 

Once I determined my goals and dreams (physical, professional, and future family) that was a big part of everything in a relationship.  Will that person support and understand them.  That person didn't have to engage in the physical fitness goals (just support and understand the importance to me).  Same for professional goals.   Now with family, I have a clear mental picture of what I want a family life to be (raising kids in a positive environment, being a parent who actually parents, and such). 

Experience has taught me that if you have thoughts that the person might not be the right one, they probably aren't.

Good luck with your tough decision.

Is anybody else getting confused by Laura and Jen having the same avatar? I usually identify posters by noting the avatar out of the corner of my eye and it took me a couple threads to even realize what was going on. My head hurts... bts

I'm not because I look at their usernames.  Try doing that so you don't get confused
