Thanks. Good advice. I know I should put the focus on myself. I have been (mostly). I started back to school in August getting my graduate degree. Will be finished in December. I've joined the local fitness club. Tried to be content alone and with "friends." BUT IT'S SO HARD! When you've been "attached" to someone for over 2 years, were best friends, lots of lovemaking, etc., it's like a cold shock to turn your life in a different direction. I'm sad, lonely, depressed, miss her, etc. I realize I'm not at all ready for anyone new. Frankly, I don't know if I'll ever pursue anyone else. If I can't have what I want, what I've had, I may just settle on being alone. Before I found out about the house I was getting much better and was happy "waiting". But if she sells the house, it seems so final!

Do you think it's weird that I want to buy the house? It's 30 miles from my current home. I've been wanting to move for about 5 years (before she came along) for privacy reasons (I currently live near family). Her house is in the country, 5 acres, old farm house and some really good memories (we spent most of our time there). At this point, I have no idea where she plans to live - possibly a major move. She would not be anywhere near this house I don't think.

What makes you say I "have a ways to go?" Because of my "snooping", my sadness, what?

What do you think are the odds that she might return to me?

Thanks. This helps so much.
