super bummed!

so my girlfriend is going into the peace corps again..not sure when, shes still in her last year of college. but i think after that shes going to apply and take off again forever. last time it was only three months in africa so it wasnt that bad, but now its probably 27 months to 5 years because of her college degrees, so im totally spazzing out and being a big baby.

i love my girlfriend more than anything. weve known each other since we were in like 4th grade. my mom has videos of me playing hockey when i was like 9 years old or something, saying how much i like this girl and bla bla.

now im wigging out because i dont know what im going to do..i have tons of school left, so ill be doing that, but what am i supposed to do? wait?

i have a feeling you will all say if you love her, you will wait..but is that really true? what about, if you love them set them free, and if they come back it was meant to be..am i supposed to look at it from that point of view? i dont know how im supposed to see it. i dont have any idea what will happen.

Hell no. Show her you love her NOW.

thats all im doing. its just gonna feel weird being single again. its been freaking forever.

and im comfortable.

i dunno dude that's kinda hard...

personally i think it'd be kinda fucked up of her to expect you to just wait up to 5 years for her to finally get back....

LDR's rarely work.... and i suspect a high ammount of the ones that do work, didn't actually work, the 'spouse' just never got caught 'cheating'..

yeah i wont get caught dead in a long distance relationship. they dont work period.

i know she wouldnt expect me to. theres no way of really knowing if shed be gone 5 years until she got her assignment..but it would definately be a minimum of 2 years and 3 mo.'s and thats too long. ill almost be a doctor by then.

well, i'd just say to end the relationship under the pretense you plan to rekindle the love when she's back...

unless she plans to take further assignments.... if this seems like it's goign to be her life (going and coming) i think it'd be just better for you overall to end it for good...

this is the story of my life, sorry bro. Do what you think is right, just remember when your both older how will you look back at this. I think we might have the same taste in women man we want em strong, confident, and on a mission. Thing that sucks is sometimes their mission takes em far away and never brings em back. If we are all lucky enough we will be old some day when that day comes you wana be happy and ready to die, no regretes and to know you did all that you could. Coars if your always ready to die then every day is to be fullfiled to its fullest. Stay strong man no matter what happens:pimp:

yeah if this is gonna be her life, count me out because people like that always fly solo unless they get married..then you can get the same assignments and live together. but im already way into my schooling and i got my plans and all that. i could move around eventually if i wanted to, but im not gonna be constantly traveling as a doctor or anything.

ps madsativa is the man haha :thumbsup:

the peace corps is cool..
i guess joining with her was already ruled out?

i wouldnt be guaranteed to be assigned to the same job as her..or in other words, the same country that she would be in. theyre all over the world.

if we were married, we could be guaranteed this..but thats not for me. no sir not yet.

Put a ring on her finger quick thattl keep her around lol ... just do what feels right and tell how you feel and she is not gurenteed a spot with a doctor when she comes home lol

hahaha thats all good and swell but i dont think anyone has any real desire or fantasy to be with a doctor haha..well some people got their freaky passions, but you know what i mean haha.

ill be more of a molecular biologist rather than a doctor, which is even nerdier than being a doctor.

5 years is way too long, same with 2 years.

unless i just so happen to stay single, then well see whats up.

but forget that man, its too long.

She is a whore if she wants to join the Peace Corps...Anyone in those things engage in all kinds of debauchery. Peace freaks sicken me but the all-night orgies is quite the hook!-Don't you think?

eric in africa. haha

Ganj are you for real?

haha that was intense!

shes not a peace freak..but she is pretty into sexin it up..so maybe that is the hook huh

wow that sucks man. Tell her how you feel if you haven't, but get ready for both answers.

Find a way to go with her.

Tell her how you feel and wish her well on her journey to help the world. It is something that is important to her, so you gotta respect that. If and when she is done, and all the perfect circumstances are in place you both can pick up where you left off or find out that it was not meant to be.
So, your gonna be single....don't sound so bad to me.:)

break it off or go with her. those are the only two options.

If she really wants to go theres nothing you can do to stop her. Just wish her well, she'll be doing something to make the world a better place.

Truthfully i would try and stop her, but thats just me. tough situation ur in...

the peace corps...ugh. i dated a girl once that wanted to go into the peace corps. what a hippy.

if it aint the Marine Corps it ain't the corps



good luck with that situation!

I was down with this whole give peace a chance thing, and I suppose I still am since there has not been any lately! While I am not completely irreverent, the Peace Corps is just not for me. I apologize if I have offended you. Peace cannot succeed if the hearts of men/women are corrupted...Corruption is just so eeeaaasy though.
