Breaking Up/Ending Relationships Before Gradschool?

[elzoido238]

Current grad students: isn't starting grad school/ending undergrad the perfect time for a fresh start?

Wow, I never thought of it that way! After I finish typing this post I'm going to go tell my wife I want a divorce and kick her the *** out of my house! Goodbye honey-do lists, hello getting all kinds of pussy from dumb girls who can't do physics and need tutoring!!!

Seriously though, if you aren't planning on marrying this girl (and judging by the tone of your posts, it doesn't sound like you are), cut her loose for both of your sakes. As kasograce has already pointed out, asking someone to relocate is a huge implied commitment, and although I agree that it's not asking her to marry you, it is saying that you will ask someday. Who gives a *** if your sister thinks you're an "idiot guy" for breaking up with her, she's a *** dumb *** for thinking that stringing your gf along is the right thing to do.

I don't have the attention span to read that previous post. Please summarize in 1 or 2 sentences.

Don't worry, you didn't miss anything important. Here is my summary:

"I had a gf during my undergrad, but then I met the mythical 'smart and hot' physics chick and I really liked her, but I didn't *** her because I was gay. Now I regret being gay.

Hah I really liked that story, storytime. I didnt think it was gay.
Although...

Despite claims at the time to the contrary, she also told me that a lot of the reason she picked a school on the other side of the country from mine was to avoid having to see me. We had originally been planning to go to the same place together, not for each other, but for the program. (She still picked a great school though.)

...I think i'd be upset if I was the physics girl who had to change what school she was going to to avoid you, that really *** sucks.

I dont honestly know what I'm going to do yet, but elzoido238 does have the best advice/summary I guess...

hmmmm.... but yeah, thanks storytime, that was really good to think about.

The girlfriend is going to be moving with me, and wants to visit the cities and campuses that are soon going to be her home too. I am assuming its bad form, but the question I have is HOW frowned upon is it. In the long run would it be better she stay home and i take a lot of pictures?

*** man, ouch sorry.

Why?

Honestly, I'm sure it sucks now, but it's for the best. Planning to stay with someone during grad school is a big commitment, and if you are having slight problems now, they'd only get much bigger in the fall. Having someone move to be with you only works, I think, if you are on really solid terms. If things were a little rough now, the stress of moving and starting a new school would have only made it harder on both of you.

Plus, I know alot of people at UIUC and there are alot of hot girls there.

Definitely a good decision in the long run.

Stop posting *** to this topic. Your problems are insignificant compared to the prospects of the Terminator being canceled. *** prioritize.

[slugger]

Terminator was cancelled? But dollhouse is still on right?

[twistor]

Actually, it hasn't been canceled, but it is in danger of being canceled. Honestly, I could care less about Dollhouse. Eliza Dushku is hot, but the show itself is going nowhere.

[nathan12343]

Have you watched the last few episodes?

Dolhouse >>>> SCC, no contest.

[slugger]

I hope the new terminator movie keeps people interested in the franchise enough to keep it going. I really think summer glau is a babe and i like that shirley manson is on the show (I dated a big Garbage fan for years in highschool--even lost my virginity with "as heaven is wide" on the sterio, good times) so for me terminator is the total package, but dollhouse is still very high on my list.

[twistor]

I have watched the past few episodes of Dollhouse. I watch it on mute, so I get occasional glimpses of Dushku in alluring outfits and don't have to tolerate the weak writing. I'm pretty sure that's how Joss Whedon intended it to be viewed, anyway.

[astrofan]

Unfortunately, Doll House != Firefly (or even Buffy).

[twistor]

I don't think he could ever live up to Buffy.
