Thank you hurley. I spoke to him on the phone tonight, and he said he doens't see anything slowing down anytime soon. His schedule is packed. All the time. He is always studying, or doing homework because he doesn't get it all the time. He spend 10.5 hours today, studying. I asked if he would want to be together in the future if the situation permitted and he just said he needs to concentrate on now, if the future permits then it will, but if it doesn't, then we'll always be friends. I am thankful for that if all else fails. It really does hurt like I can't explain. It feels like since he was definitely a man of chivalry that I may not find another like him. A lot of men anymore, don't open doors for their women, don't sincerely love them, and wouldn't give the world for them. He would..He's that guy that loves with all that's in him. He proved to me that he deserved my heart, and i'd never ever met a man like him before. Ever, and chivalry is a dying act now. I hope that all goes well and that we're let back together..but who knows...Just time for us to be there for eachother, and support eachother, and love eachother like we do, and concentrate on our futures.. Thank you for all the of the kind comments ladies, it means so much at a time like this.

Aw Nicole, I agree with Mary and AJ, it will calm down. It hurts, I know. I was 17 when I met my hubby. He is 7 years older than me. He was my first love and when he finished aeronautical school he left me to pursue his career I was so heartbroken. Now this was before cell phones and computers. I waited by that phone ( yes it was a rotary dial one!) for weeks. I was a mess so I bought a ticket to visit family in Florida. Do you know he tracked me down, drove 13 hours showed up at the doorstep and asked me if he were to ask me to marry him would I say yes. I looked at him and I said no. Of course all along my heart was beating out of my chest and wanting to burst out with a YES! But I wanted him to squirm a bit. He turned away and started walking towards his truck when I said maybe. He smiled and then said for me to wait and went to his truck, came back, got down on one knee and asked if I would marry him. I just looked at him and then smiled and said of course silly. He put the ring on my finger. It was a small but sweet diamond. It had so much thought in it. He did buy me a new one that I picked out but I still have this ring and show it off to my DILs with the sweet story about their crazy FIL! We were married 6 months later and still married 33 years. So the point of me telling you this story is, I was young but I knew love. I loved him until it hurt just like you. And when he left me for good reason ( I could not leave home unless I was married) to do what he went to school for, he came back. It ate him up we weren't together. I never knew this when I sat by the phone thinking I was just cast off. There was no text messages, no cells, just snail mail and land lines. Hang in there Nicole. Love has no boundaries. When this calm down, he will too. Oh and by the way, his mother didn't like me either at first. She even let me sit locked out of his apartment for 6 hours cause he was at work and she had his key but wouldn't let me in, and we were engaged! But she loved me until the day she passed away and I love and miss her dearly. All will work out for you, promise

Thanks AJ ((hugs))

I know things will calm down eventually, it's just a hard pill to swollow for the time being. But i've come to realize how lucky I am to have had someone who treated me so wonderfully. I'll never not love him, he'll always be a huge part of my life, and I know I will be of his too. We were eachothers first loves, well, we are because we still love eachother. And distance makes the heart grow fonder, so maybe we'll even love eachother more."if you love something- let it go, if it returns it was meant to be" I know if things are meant to be they will find a way. It's a rough patch in the road, but it'll be alright. :) Now i'm getting ready to go to my aunt kellys wedding with my dad. I get to meet his new girlfriend......tough girl act?? or run up and give her a hug?? maybe she'll think i'm crazy....guess the apple don't fall far from the tree though!! ahha. Have a good day ladies, thank you for your kind words!

Keep breathing Nicole .... I know this is a hard time for you.  ((((( Hugs )))))  And I agree with Mary that things will calm down.
Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 27, 2011 at 1:26pm

It's just so incredibly hard, because my heart and mind don't want to believe we aren't together anymore, i'm surrounded by so many of our memories, and knowing how wonderful they were, and that we won't have those anymore, it really really hurts. It hasn't sunk in yet really...the hurt is there but never in a million years did we see ourselves apart from one another. We were the strong couple that could handle our fights and disagreements, and loved more everyday...and I don't know how to handle it yet.

I know we're probably still going to tell eachother we love them alot, because we do. It wasn't a matter of ever falling out of love. It's like we're together(since we never did fall out of love, and a fight wasnt the reason we're apart) but we're not(because we cant call eachother boyfriend and girlfriend, but we still have all the stuff) he wears my anchor necklace and class ring still, he said he wasnt taking it off. egh:/ i hate break ups. Especially with your first love..and best friend.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 27, 2011 at 2:42am

Gaige and I decided to break it off...well he did.

He's under a lot of stress with A school and he feels really bad that he's always mad, upset and stressed and that i'll send him a simple have a good day text and he gets mad when he gets back to his BEQ and feels like he's always taking it out on me when it's not my fault. He feels like he's neglecting me, and not giving me the time he thinks I deserve, and I am thankful for a man, and to have had a man, and that i'll possibly have this man, a man as great as him who cares about my well-being, and wants the best for me. He didn't do it to hurt me, and I know that. His heart is hurting as badly as mine is, and we're still going to remain best friends, and talk as often as we can. There's no spite. I'm not mad, and he isn't either..it's just something he simply needed. If it will better his future as hard as it is, I will make that sacrifice because I love him. It's definitely going to be a long hard road full of heartache, and flashbacks of amazing memories, but he's my best friend, and we will never stop loving eachother. he will always have a huge part of my heart, and i will always have a huge part of his. over the past 6 months we kind of became 1 person. in two bodies. i'm so proud of all that he's done, and i'll continue to support him. maybe in the future we'll be together again, once everything is sorted out.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 26, 2011 at 10:05pm

Haha, I'm ready and expecting of it. I just remind him to be nice, and not a jerk, and that i'll listen to him vent if he wishes, but he can't be mean to me. They lost power at the base down there I guess, due to Irene, even though they're on the outskirts and in LOW THREAT and even just wind and rain- what does naval weapons station charleston do? It loses power like in EVERY little storm they have >_< You'd think they'd be slightly better prepared?? I would have assumed so. So he lost power and his phone died, but thankfully they cut class early because of power outages and he was able to text me for about an hour before his phone died, telling me how the whether was, and tha he loved me and such. So that made me happy.

 

Mary- Gaige has about 20 hours of homework and watches to do this weekend, I don't know how many problems it works out to be, but he's trying to do the watches right now.

 

Morgan seems like she's got it all figured out! Congrats to her!!!

 

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on August 26, 2011 at 4:52pm

No kidding Iris. But all is well now!!:)

 

WOO HOO FRED IS GONE! Need we sing and dance?! I think so! Congrats! Seeing her VERY soon!!!!!

Congrats on the job!! I hope it's a fun environment, it always makes things better when it is! I got my final paycheck and my bank is happy as it's ever been, about $1000. (yes, most money i've ever had at one time!! haha) but i'm looking for a part time job to keep building it up so that i'll have money to back me for whatever I choose to do.

I got my early graduation form in and i'm so excited! Even though i'm not considered a "senior" until graduation, it's okay with me. Now just waiting to make sure it's approved!!

...kinda funny that i'll be a senior for less than 24 hours! haha.

 

RSL ladies- if anyone is in the path of IRENE, stay safe!!!

Comment by iris - Wahiawa, Hawaii on August 26, 2011 at 11:38am

Morning Ladies - Wow... Nicole, what a roller coaster ride. Ugh! Hope everything works out for you guys. Hugs!!! 

 

So I will be on less than usual cause I finally found a job. Yay! I'll be working back at Ray's Food Place as the Customer Service Manager. It's a job, so again, yay for money. =) I am fully aware of the frustrations I will be facing and hope that this time I can not let them get to me.

 

Other news, Haley and Fred broke up. Yay!!!  He's a schmuck and doesn't deserve her. I can't wait to see her on Sept. 9th. I have so much to do. It will all fall in place, but seriously, wow, feeling like the plate is really full.

 

Again, I have to keep this short and I'm so sorry I can't comment on all of your news. Wish you could all get on the FB page. Makes it easier to keep up.

 

RSL and I will try to get back on soon and catch up.

 

Iris

************ I FINALLY GOT UP THE GUTS! I told him it was together or not. It took about 45 minutes of talking we decided to be back together. I told him the "in limbo" is hurting me. and He obviously didn't want me hurting, but he didn't want to be back together if he thought we were going to fight and continue to have a stressful relationship, I promised that if he gave his all, i'd give my all. He said we'd give it one more shot! I'm so incredibly happy. Happy that even though it took a little convincing and giving reasons why, that he's taking that chance. !!!
