We’ve kept it up almost every day but the quality and quantity of our communication has waned understandably. I guess this is our chance to figure it out and say a last good bye or put some more fuel in the tank.

Alas we have so few days together we both may want to just set the adult hard stuff aside and just play in a fantasy again because - life is short.

And to [mention]newkidontheblock[/mention] I know you’re sincere - I really admire what you’ve been able to accomplish and in some ways I envy that. Good job and best wishes always to you and your lady.

I didn’t want to ignore your post but I also can’t lay out all my personal details here. It’s complicated ofc - it’s always complicated - she was once my betrothed and would have followed me to the ends of the earth. Still she’s coming to visit me elsewhere and voluntarily but who would refuse a free vaycay. Why elsewhere? She can’t deal with me in the context rn of her family and I understand that. Besides she also wants a vacation and staying in her town is not that.

She has refused to label our relationship any more because she says life is hard - we’ve been through a lot - and let’s just try to be happy.

Quite frankly - I choked when it was time for me to pull the trigger and that caused a loss of trust on her end. I returned home and we both were stuck. She was still willing to join me if I could arrange a visa and the reason why that’s not happened besides - it’s hard - is also complicated.

For you bozo’s - you don’t know her she would have never had occasion to talk to you unless you’re her boss and there’s never been another man.

She’s free and can move on if she wants to - I have just asked her to be honest with me if she does and I have also told her that when that time comes I will move out of the way and wish her the best life possible.

tl/dr - our relationship has no proper label or status - she has good reason not to keep the dream alive because I choked and dropped the ball. She’s a very decent lady and I admire her a lot.
