so here we go, one more time.



friday i went and got everything signed for the divorce and now it is finalized. that was pretty hellish....she was crying the entire time, and i had to maintain this front of not sitting down...not taking off my glasses....doing my fucking best to not bust into tears and hold her and tell her everything will be ok. its not my place anymore, even though it still felt like it was.
friday night i went and self medicated, though i showed restraint, and didnt get shitfaced. btw, divorce papers get you MANY free drink offers at the bar.
saturday i went to the lake, and then took a date to the snoop/311 concert. that was interesting, as i saw almost ALL of my friends there....ya, they were pretty fucked up, so it got embarrassing at times.
yesterday was the fun day though.
it was THE last time i will see her in my life....the last time i will hear her voice.
now that was fucked up man.
we sat and talked for about forty minutes, smoked one last time, and then had to walk away from each other forever.
even typing it right now makes my stomach hurt, but thats life. you cant let it beat you up....we got to say everything we wanted too. we hugged for awhile, and i saw four years of my life flash in front of my eyes. suddenly my recent success isnt as cool as it was....the only person im worried about knowing, cant. she will read about me...thats all.
i maintained while i was in front of her...but the second i cleared her street i was in tears. i wound up beating my steering wheel until a section of it bent in, and my ring collapsed on my finger. now there is this red, swollen semi-circle around my finger lol.
ya, thats not really my style, but i had no other way to deal at that moment. i wanted to cause as much damage and destruction as i could.....


anyway, thanks for reading...theres really nothing to say, as its just life, and sometimes our dreams truly float like anchors.
plus, ive made it through far worse...its just hard to keep in perspective right now.

fucking sucks man. i have no idea what that would feel like, but i can imagine. i am almost afraid of relationships because i don't trust anyone, especially girls, and i don't ever want to have to be in your position. just keep your head up and your bowl packed man. shit will all come around eventually. life is a bitch, but it is awesome at the same time.

and ty for that karma msg parker. it's the damn truth, and i shall do my best to change my ways.

man bf2s is such an awesome place. where would we all be without it?

Its only when you read of other peoples losses do you realise what you have and stop taking it for granted.

At least Mr P you can close this chapter of your life and open the next one fully now.

her parents and my mother would not let us be together.
it sounds petty, but when everyone is against you, there is no other path to take.
short of walking away from EVERYTHING you know, which doesnt help with happiness anyway....

That's fucked up, no way should that mean you should divorce man. No fucking way. I'm probably the last person to say this, and it's no use saying it now, but that's what I think.

oh trust me man. we did EVERYTHING we could to make it work....hell, we moved to texas to get away, that didnt work either.
it was literally, either we walk away from our families forever, or we had to split.
if we both walked away, we would just harbor resentments at a later time......then however many years down the road, be in the same situation.
sometimes life isnt fair, thats just how it works.

I hope both your families feel very proud of what they have done to you both.  At least they are happy even if it means their kids ain't.  (I mean no offence by reffering to you both as kids)

I'll always believe in family first, but if you were married she was your family, and imo would come before my parents wishes. If you couldn't choose her over your parents though then she isn't worth wasting more of your life on.

Best of luck with your new girl.

they do.
its funny how all of a sudden, her parents are buying her EVERYTHING they can think of, and my mom is attempting to do the same. but i had a conversation with her that expressed my feelings pretty well.

then look at it this way; would you bring children into a world where they wouldnt even be able to know their grandparents?

I would've cut off all ties to my parents. Sorry to hear that it had to end, dude.

What the hell could have been so bad that the families had to fight ...?? That's some serious Romeo and Juliet shit.

Many children don't have that luxury, whether separated through continents or their grandparents mortality. But it wouldn't be the end of the world, and the kids would be happy so long as both parents loved them.

I'm sure there's plenty of reasons why you've had to divorce and we can't know how difficult it has been for you.

I can tell though you that the worst is behind you, which is a good thing.

I second this one - you shouldn't let people hold you back like that, even your parents

I assume no kids at least, because kids would have been forsaken by both grandparents

look guys, its real easy to sit and tell me how you would walk away from everything you know.
its not easy, i know because we tried it. we moved half a country away, and we just couldnt do it.


i dont know, maybe you guys are stronger than i am....i doubt it, but you never know.


you dont want a marriage to be something you have to overcome hurdles for everyday. making a marriage work is hard enough without outside factors.
i know we made the right decision, and our lives will be easier for it. we will be happy without having to go through so much shit that hardens up your heart anyway.

Not going to try and bust your balls, just share my situation with you. I come from Georgia (USA, not Commie) and I live now in Vienna with my Austrian girlfriend. Never been happier. But then, our parents don't hate each other, either ...

I know it's real easy for us to sit here and tell you this stuff and whatnot, and I cannot begin to imagine what kind of pressure that must have been on the two of you ... but are the two of you not even going to try and keep in contact? I mean, 4 years together is a long time to just drop it and never keep in touch, you know???

Parker, best of luck to you, dude. I wish you the best and hope that your next experience with love comes out a helluva lot better. I still have a hard time wrapping my head around what would make two sets of parents being completely against the two of you, though. Anyway. Good luck, bro.

Damn, man. Sorry to hear that. I've never heard of a situation like that, it's really too bad that it had to happen to you. You're one of the coolest guys on the forum and a lot of that is because it's easy to tell you're geniunely a good guy. Things will get better and you have a huge support base here. Sorry I don't have any good advice, just know that there are hundreds of us here pulling for you.

It's your life, do what makes YOU happy.

The question is, why won't they let you be together? What would make them so stubborn that they can't accept it?
