thanks for your story buddy. I am happy that you have found an awesome relationship out of a similar situation. Unfortunately in my case I can't say the same about her ex, he is an awesome guy. Very down to earth, mature and all round great guy. He doesn't have any enemies and he's always tried to be the best he can.
In terms of a new life, it is something we slowly have to build together. She is working slowly to cut all the ties to her 'past' with the ex and that group of people, her flatmate is dating her ex's brother... so he is always around and there is still that kind of 'connection' which she hates, the idea of me moving in is to move things forward and at the end of the year when her lease is up try and find a place together.
It is a weird situation, and if things are all well we plan on moving interstate when her uni degree is finished (end of next year) so until that time we kind of have to stick it out, and some of her oldest friends are moving to our city end of the year so at least she wil have her old crew back. She really needs it, she is quite alone in this city and when I can't always be there for her, it will be great when her friends are.
I will always feel a bit bad about the situation. But it's something I have to overcome, what's done is done, what's happened has happened and the only thing we can really do is look forward. she's said to me many times she can see us together for a long time. she said she broke up with her ex because, well, they're two different people, and as much as she still loves him and wants to keep him as a friend, them being together is just out of the question. it's really weird because he is one of those guys girls absolutely swoon over, he's had heaps of girls hit on him constantly, not just because he's good looking, but he has an incredibly nice temperament. It's really fucked, it kind of makes it harder that he's been so nice about it all (to her)
I will front up to him, I don't know what I'm going to say. All I can think of to say is "well, what's done is done. Obviously you all don't want to be friends with me any more, and I really want to be with this girl. And I think that decision has already been made" or something along those lines.
I don't really know what else to say to all this, I can't say it's a happy ending, I don't think this is the ending I'm sure there's more to come to this than what already has. The biggest thing is I really don't know what to say to the ex. I guess most of it would be to sit down and let him vent. I can't say much other than how I feel, which is shit that will probably only get him angry. Meh.
Anyway, thanks again so much for the kind words and sharing your story. Sounds like you are on the up and up. All the best with your girl, and all the best for your future together. Here's hoping she says 'yes'
Good luck bro.
