- <much stuff about unbelievably dense architecture student SO
- not copied>
-
- hm, well, Lori, it seems that your SO (is that even an appropriate
- term, here?) has _already_ forced you to fly solo. no romance?
- no sparks? judging from the tone of yer post, i'd say it's already
- over. find some other friends to hang with friday night, or
- classmates, or whomever. but if he doesn't care about the
- relationship, period, except to say he's in one...well, if
- i were in yer shoes i'd conclude there's nothing to go on
- and just bail as gracefully as ya can. i say gracefully because
- the architecture folks i've known around here are forced
- to work pretty damn hard and are quite tense, sometimes
- miserable, so it's hard to gauge what will crack their world
- apart and what they can survive.
-
- in sum, if there's really nothing there, at the bottom of it...
- well, do both of yourselves a service and quit dragging it out.
- i just don't see anything positive coming out of it short
- of a miracle (a volte-face in both attitudes to the relationship?)
-
- Flying alone, ain't bad. give yerself some time to get
- comfortable with it, so you can hang out with folks without the
- pressure of "gotta meet somebody special or else". =) get
- involved with other friends as friends, and other activities.
- the healthier ya are, the healthier the next relationship
- will be...
-
- good luck, hope things work out _somehow_. =)
-
- cheers,
- frank
