Countdown to Singledom
So J is leaving to go OS indefinetly in about 3 months.
He is looking for work in the UK and wants to travel Europe.
It's strange to have a time limit on your relationship.
Everything will change.
Things will be different. I'll be different.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Would it be really crass of me to suggest...
Hmm, yeah, it probably would be, wouldn't it?
Being two independent people in love is probably the hardest thing (look at all the assumptions I made in that sentence!). Yes, those are my helpful words of obvious wisdom for you.
I can't imagine how to deal with something like that. My eldest daughter's ex (who is a year ahead of her in school), advised her (at the beginning of LAST summer) that she didn't think it would be a good idea to try to maintain a relationship with a high school senior, once she was in college (despite the fact that she's attending a college here in town). My daughter was devastated, but labored through the summer months, hoping against hope, I guess. There were good days and bad days and as the summer grew shorter, the bad days outweighed the good...as I suppose both of them were trying to create some sort of buffer. It was agonizing to watch.
Very best of luck to you Em. Just as I'm sure it will be hard, I'm equally sure you will wade through it and come out on the other side of it. Maybe a little banged up...but certainly with some fight still in ya.
If you need to talk, you know where to find me. (Also, as AAA is not quite saying, all roads lead to River City. You're always welcome, kiddo!!)
I'm actually fine with it. I'm happy for him and would rather him leave and be happy than stay and be miserable.
Sometimes it feels as if it's a life raft off a sinking ship....
