Just Jack Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have a degree in Environmental Policy and a Degree in Psychology. Im planning on going back to grad school. Im currently interning for NYS DEC as an educator/ researcher about marshes and eels specifically. So you get eels onto your couch and have them talk about their feelings?

DC Tom Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 So you get eels onto your couch and have them talk about their feelings? There's far too many puns to be made on "eels", and they all suck really, really badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realtruelove Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I started dating my wife when we were both juniors in college (2000-2001). In 2002 she moved to NYC and I stayed in Buffalo to continue with grad school. In 2007 she moved to Milwaukee. During this time we maintained our relationship. In 2009 I moved to Milwaukee and in with her. Long distance relationships aren't for everyone, but if you love each other you end up figuring out the logistics. She's a keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Wow just read this all, I had a 2 year relationship with a woman once in Korea, I ended up moving there and it didn't work out, so I feel for you. I have some advice. Dude, you have 2 useless degrees, go to Korea and teach English (2000$ a month or more, have to be careful about the jobs there but it can be good) and stop going to school. Or do what my friend in Korea did and move to NYC and start a rooftop garden business, stop being so freaking poor and experience the world a bit. Best to you and don't worry about losing one, there are billions of women in the world. Basic math says you have a chance to get your willy wet again. BTW I also had a woman friend once who said that once a long distance relationship crossed a state line, she was doing who and whatever she wanted. I kind of like that in hindsight.

I have thought about doing the teach english abroad. Ive herad more negative than positive with that program which makes me a little wary. Im looking to go out west again (I worked in Yosemite National Park a few years ago) also considering getting back into school. Lots of things in the air right now. Honestly after taking a few days removed from her, I feel this is the right thing for us as indivuduals. We still love each other, that was made clear to me last night. But where we are in life right now (and especially her) It isnt going to work right now. I actually respect her for recognizing that and doing what she did to make herself happy. I think we will both be better people because of this. In a few years it might all be different, but for now, this is the right move for both of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Still sucks tho (We will return to DC Tom's typical internet asshattery after this brief public service announcement.) That which begins, eventually ends. The real trick to life isn't fighting the endings, but realizing they're natural and accepting them with dignity and respect for yourself and others. (We now continue with our regular programming...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
