Wow, lots went on since I last logged on... was stuck out to sea for a few days, actually talked to my ex-GF and ended up driving the 8 hours and visiting her over the weekend. Was a ton of fun, really.

Mostly, I went to visit to see where we stand in regards to eachother... I mean, I've knew her for more than a decade before we started dating and things got strained towards the end (duh, I guess )

By that, I mean the Navy started working me pretty hard (12+ hours a day for a few weeks straight) ... and about the time that started, she ended up getting a new job that kept her at work when I had time off... kinda hard to do a long distance relationship when you can't even talk. It was amiable so we broke it off probably around the beginning of October.

We really didn't talk for quite some time after that, and the first real conversation we had, she'd told me that she was seeing a 16-year old (she's 25... and it's legal w/parental consent in W.Va) ... threw me for a loop! Was ready to see her move on, but was *not* expecting that.

This weekend changed my understanding of how things are going... it also opened my eyes to how different my approach to relationships is compared to hers.

Turns out he was more of a fling-thing and I evidentally blew it way outta proportion in my head. *shrug*

In the end, we decided that getting back together wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but that until she could move down here, it was an open relationship... or at least that's what I understood from what was said. Didn't want to question too much since I didn't want to seem like a dick. Weird.
