That is not the intention at all. I don't know why I want that extra time (except financially). I don't want her to fail. I truely don't. I think that time may make her realize the mistake she's making (if she's making one). She hasn't lived apart from me in a long time. The clouds may separate and the light shine in.

I would like to influence her decision. Maybe I shouldn't. I appreciate all the great advice. I really do. A "sugardaddy" could come to her rescue. That's life. I just don't like the idea of life leading me. Being passive. But, maybe that's the way to go on this one. Pursuing her didn't work when we were together. Maybe it won't work when we are apart. What do I have to lose by trying. I'm just trying to make informed decisions with the input of others.
