*hugs* to Copilot!
It's never easy breaking up with someone, no matter how rough the relationship actually was.
Just keep breathing in and out. I promise it gets better!

Copilot, we are here for you...for mutual support or for mutual bashing...either one you prefer.
Browncoats understand each other...you need to find one of them!

Poor Co-Pilot, I send a hug your way! 
I've broken up with someone I still cared about (but not enough) before and it was horrible! He ended up comforting me!
Tell us when you're ready for us to start setting you up on dates!
Hmm, virtual dates. This intrigues me. Has anyone here ever tried internet romance? (or even just internet heavy flirting?)

Yes the match making offers have been pouring in. It's crazy aparently no one could ever understand why the two of us were in a relationship in the first place. I'm starting to feel better. This amazing weight has been lifted and the sun is smiling on me.
I think the happy shall be here soon!
4 years!?! I've been in the same relationship for 4 years?!? I'm only 21!!!!!! Okay so now that I've screamed that at the top of my lungs (well really loud in my own head) I feel kinda good.

Emma, yes, actually, I have. Not the hokey "dinner by computer-light" dating, but the flirting and getting-to-know someone type thing. Oddly enough, both wives...hmmm. Clarification is needed...
I knew both wives before I talked to them on the 'net. My first wife was a whirl-wind setup romance as she was leaving to go home (France) less than a month after we met. We spent several months talking online, getting to know each other and generally having a good time. She ended up moving back to the US to continue her education. Long story short; married in 2000, 6 months of bliss, year and a half of hell, divorce in 2002.
Not having learned my lesson (
) I began talking to my current wife online alot. Most of you know the story behind her...I'll be brief for those just joining us:
She is ten years my junior. I met her while in college pursuing a fourth degree (didn't finish it). I hired her as a Ren Faire fighter, and instantly fell in love with her. All of this happened while I was still married to the first wife. NOTHING ever happened between us...we had a brother-sister relationship. After my divorce and her break-up, we began talking more. However, we both spent a lot of time on the computer, and learned more about each other than we would have otherwise. Another long story short (too late, I know)...we discovered we shared a love, we dated, we married in Oct 2004, and bliss has been ours ever since.
So, back to the question. Yes, I have "dated" online. I think it is easier to communicate with someone when you have time to think about what you are saying and given time to type it out. I am much more eloquent with a keyboard than with my mouth. Not saying I am anti-social; I like being around people. But for important thoughts, writing is sometimes a better choice.
Damn, sorry about that...it's Friday, I am on a caffeine high, anticipating the weekend, and my fingers just went into overdrive...hope that was not TMI...

Hey Tristan, it's really good to hear that internet relationships can work out. I was in one for a while (with a guy in NZ so we never managed to meet) and when it ended I told myself that the reason was exactly because it was really limited to the net. We begna to call each other on the phone and the spoken conversations were never quite as good as the typed ones. Maybe it would have been different in person.
I think you really manage to share a part of yourself through just writing that you don't when you throw in body language and all the other facets of face-to-face relationship. What I think is impressive, Tristan, is that you managed to take the honesty of an internet relationship and translate it into real terms. Was that hard to do, when you first met in person?
