I'm on the east coast right now, and she's back home on the west. Our university has a live webcast of the event, so even though no one knows it (and probably never will), I still felt the urge/need to support her with this great accomplishment. I wish I could've been there in person and I even contemplated flying back just for it, but I know all too well it wouldn't do me any good. I saw her name get called and saw her and everything.

 

I don't think this really set me back, but it just makes me pretty damn sad. I was with this girl for nine whole years of my life..I saw her struggle with classes, work and family issues. It hurts that I couldn't be there to see her through it you know :(. I'm so proud of her, regardless. I wish she knew. I guess I just needed to vent a little bit on here rather than think about contacting her. I want to say congratulations, but I know I shouldn't. I still don't know why I subjected myself to watching it "knowing" I was going to feel this way after.

After being together for 9 years, it's totally understandable that you'd want to watch a big moment in her life! I'm assuming that you doing no contact, but I think that just sending a simple "Congratulations, I knew you could do it" would suffice. If she were to say something rude in reply, then you shouldn't give her a second thought. Things will get better, chin up :)
