My separation from my long time girlfriend ***** 6 months ago and has conluded a great relationship that lasted for 4 years. While the individual times were not all great, the time itself was. 2 months after our split up I approached her with the proposal to resume our relationship and presented a ring to her but she refused and I have given her roughly 4 months to think it over. It is now 6 months after our separation and while I could and would wish to remain here, I must conclude that to do more than I have done would be borderline stalkerish. A step up from my usual overly attached boyfriend self.
Alas. I shall miss you, when I met you, you were skittish to hold hands in public and it took a giant carnival bear and its donation to a library to get you to really warm up. But it took me working the carnival through several long nights with random patrons pulling joke guns on me to get you that bear, we decided to give it away for exp, Good girl!!! Thats how you play in a Campaign! Haha Great laughs were had at the carnival :p
So back to my point.
I have contemplated several options besides the usual go curl up in a ball in the corner and gently rock back and forth.
Option one would be to make a large public announcal of my return to the dating circle followed by lots of wingmen and fanfare, but in reality I'm still hoping she comes to her senses. So I dont feel it would be the appropriate step.
Option two would be to keep up the status quo, that usually leads to long term problems in situations like these so its also out.
Option three be honest about the whole thing and write it up here, say that I am now technically single but not really feeling like Single. With the events of the past four years in memory I'd probably put "widow" or "separated" instead of "single" as the appropriate status. Consider that for me marriage is purely symbolic and secondary to actually being in a relationship. But technically it is the best status to apply.
So. I settled on option three. *deep breaths into a paper bag* Please, women, don't kill me, I'll try to stay out of your way and hidden! *hisses at all the gathered women with a fork in hand*
And thus concluded my 4 year relationship soulmate level bonding thing
