Masey don't beat yourself up girl. You are a beautiful woman. I've been keepin up with the thread; from the way you post you are NOT AN ICE PRINCESS.
Love is unconditional and when it hits you girl you will know it.
It's a beautiful feeling
Good Luck and Happy New Year

hey twitch, thanks..its good to see you again..

You too hun; it's been a rough couple of weeks; but I'm back and hopefully things will work out for me.

Well its a Happy Good New Year to all of us, each day has been a learning experience.. and more to come.. so hold on to your seat coz its going to be exciting for us i'll bet..

sorry if i am adding to the confusion. i will try to clarify. and here it is. the feeling of truly being in love is so overwhelming. it is unmistakable. now there are different levels of loving and different emotional relationships. but i feel that it is worth holding out for one of those fireworks and hot chili pepper loves that cannot be denied. it is like being on fire and there is nothing to compare with it. so, for me, it is worth waiting until you have that - it is so special.

that is why Johnny Cochran says: "If you can QUIT, then it don't FIT"

Masey, its starting to look like you got into a long distance relationship quickly and he wanted you to give up your life for him so his choices and his life wouldn't be upset or disturbed. And I know you two talked about everything. Sounds like love just got in the way. Only you can make those deep life altering decisions on where you want to go and what you want to do and what you want to accomplish in your life. If you're comfortable that's great but don't get caught up in a delusion of grandeur. You can't change other peoples fate or destiny using love. Am I correct? I've travelled the world twice in my youth. 27 countries. Lived in far away lands. Learned about class and culture. Got an education. Ended up moving to an area of my ancestors where I feel safe and secure. What's left of my family has moved in around me. I gave an oath to be there for my aging parents if they need me for anything and I keep my word. I can't run off to live in any more distant lands. But I can visit. Where I live is beautiful and semi remote but isolated and no datable single people. So I'm single because I cannot relocate. But if I ever found a woman who was willing to relocate just for me I would accommodate her and as I said earlier do everything in my powers to ensure her beautiful smile never left her face.

........... I just had a feeling he might have been an australian. Do you both work in the same field of practice? You know what this is boiling down to? Its coming down to weighing your decisions on what's right and best (and safest) for you. And you know no matter how much good practical, spiritual, medical, philisophical, and 3rd person omnicient advice we give you it all comes down to "Its a decision only you can make for yourself". I wish we could make the decision for you but we can't. We are not you. But I wouldn't change you for the world. Many people don't question things in the world. And for those people nothing gets learned. Nothing changes. They live a boring status quo.

Oh and by the way! Do you have a sister who is single with a beautiful smile who would like to be an american who isn't afraid of living in a frozen wasteland called wisconsin? Ha ha ha ha just kidding!
