[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's awesome and romantic. Sure, it might backfire. He'll, his live-in GF might even answer the door but she'll always wonder if she doesn't try. If it blows up, she has closure and can move on.

Good for you OP! If he gives you the chance, rock his world. Guys always fall for great sex.[/quote]

Life is not Sleepless in Seattle. Assuming OP is the normal one, she should have some pride and self respect - not to mention respect for his decision - and move along. There is nothing romantic about becoming a desperate stalker. That she's even considering this leads me to question whether she is in fact normal. [/quote]

When you have tremendous feelings for someone, it comes out in everything, including break ups. You overreact and go to extremes. Sometimes both are scared to make the next move after a blow out and wind up wondering for years what might have been. OP was going to answer that question. I see nothing wrong with that. [/quote]

I haven't abandoned the idea of going to visit him completely. I will likely travel back to the area for a funeral early in the year (it makes me sound terribly callous that I'm even framing like that, but that's where I'm at right now) and I will ask if he will see me. If he will take me back I'll move back to the area in May (the plan was always to go back, for me above all because where I live is soul-killing) on an expedited timeline. We were so good together when I was there and I think there's a chance we could get it back, but if not, at least there's a TON of fish in the sea there. The only fish here are racist rednecks.[/quote]

OP, you were doing so well (for the past 2 pages)—vowing not to visit him, going to the gym,
getting therapy. Do NOT show up on his doorstep or otherwise attempt to see him when you’re nearby for a funeral!! Come on. You only dated for 4 months. Good rule of thumb is that it takes as long as you were with the person, to get over it. You’re still in acute breakup pain and not thinking clearly. Give yourself a few months. I predict you will feel much differently than you do now.[/quote]
