i can truly feel it now.
A friend of mine told me he ended a 4 years relationship with his girlfriend because he had decided to sign on with the navy, which means that he would probably be away most of the time during the first 3 years. From a woman’s point of view, i would think that breaking up is not the only choice and that he’s just giving an excuse because his feelings for the girl might have faded or he didn’t see a future with her anymore. But he said it’s not because he doesn’t love her anymore, its because he couldn’t bear to leave the girl alone but at the same time he did not want to reject the job offer by navy. I was very puzzled at that point of time as i could not understand why must he have to end this relationship when both parties are still in love with each other and how did he even managed to overcome his own feelings to ask for this break up, so i asked if he were to see the girl happily attached to someone else few years down the road will he ever regret about the decision that he made today. He said he wouldn’t because he did not have any confidence of giving the girl happiness despite of his love for her and that he would rather she find someone who’s able to take better care of her. So, is that what we called selfless love? But then again, if i were the girl i wouldn’t know whether to hate him or to thank him for this..
He also added that it might be harder for girls to understand his doings because we are emotional beings while guys are more rational when it comes to making decision like this and that i should not worry too much about him because guys usually take a shorter time to heal after a break up. How unfair is that?

This has got to be one of the biggest challenges in our relationship. Baby told me that it’s gonna be tough and that we will either emerge stronger or fall apart. I hope our love is strong enough to overcome any obstacles that may come during this period of time.
It’s gonna be the longest two and a half months without you. Miss you.
I wonder who will be there when I fall.
You are falling in love with my insecurities, and my obsession with trying to figure out what everyone thinks of me. You are falling in love with my immaturity, my constant need to feel loved and appreciated, my overactive tear ducts, my internet obsession, my tendency to be too clingy. You fall in love with my troubled past, and my hopes and dreams, and how I’m a hopeless romantic at heart. If you fall in love with me, you fall in love with my self-hate and all my imperfections and my perception that nobody could ever love me.
But, you are also falling in love with the way my eyes will smile when I’m with you, the way I’ll text you in the mornings just telling you I hope you have a great day. You’re falling in love with the occasionally humorous and/or thought-provoking things I say, and the way I blush when people ask me about you. But to me, the most important thing will be that you are falling in love with me, despite my thinking that it is impossible.
