mike5770 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Tonight is the one-year anniversary of the best trip of my life. I went to Las Vegas with a woman I was totally and completely in love with.. Let's face facts like everyone on this board I'm still in love with her. I live in Pennsylvania and she lives in North Carolina... We reconnected on Facebook after knowing each other in high school. Anyway that was one of the best and most intense four days of my life we said we loved each other and planned for the future. We did everything lovers do in that town every minute was pure intoxication. Then like all things in life the trip ended and we went back to our places apart. I wanted to see her again and she said we are just friends so I didn't visit her again I can't do that. We keep in touch and things are fine but the date is very hard. I usually do not want to go back in time but I would give anything to jump in the time machine and go back to one year ago tonight. It is always nice to post on here it eases the pain.
AllTooWell Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 All days are only 24 hours Go to a movie with a friend, etc. Just keep your mind off it. It'll be over soon.
Author mike5770 Posted July 10, 2013 Author Posted July 10, 2013 I am sorry my four day Las Vegas trip does not qualify in your mind.. Seriously why do you have to post something like that? I have never been in a relationship for five years so you're much better than me... I hung out with that woman for year and I cared about her awful lot and trip meant a lot to me. I didn't see a five-year rule on love shack many people post on here have been in short relationships. I am sorry your five-year relationship did not work out. You could give me the same courtesy.
JadedRomantic Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 I'm not sure I understand ... you dated her for a year and had a great 4 -day trip and then she broke up with you ... or you hung out with her for four intense days and that's that? If it's the latter ... I'm sorry that you feel hurt or that she is missing you. But ... to be perfectly honest and not in a mean or ruse way at all ... to miss someone as deeply as you do a year later after only 4 days is quite extreme. It sounds like to me that she really connected with you and had a great time as well, but ... well ... what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? I'm sure she looks back at those 4 days very fondly as well, but she made it clear that it was a fantasy and not her 'real world'.
Ashlaria Posted July 16, 2013 Posted July 16, 2013 Hey Mike, You're quite right, there is no rule and people should respect your feelings. When you meet up with people from your younger days you are automatically young again. You take on the persona you had when you were growing up together, I see it with my brothers friends, they were quite a gang growing up. Nostalgia always heightens feelings in my opinion. You are lucky to have had those days, something I'm sure you are aware of. Maybe you should celebrate the anniversary. Get out the photos, drink cocktails, or whatever they do in Vegas. Good luck to you, I hope you find your peace.
