Thanks smoke, that was the plan, to go through with it for her. But she became a totally different person, she was 18 and from the city when we started dating, and I was her ticket to somewhere else. There were feelings and I believe at one time they were true, but she changed and instead of trying to work things out, she ran.

As I watched my friends family, I always vowed Id never have a life like that, if my SO truly doesn't want to be with me anymore, she should be free to go. I want her to stay because she wants to not that she feels she HAS to.
