Places to travel after a breakup

[Jordan!]

Here's the deal.. my girlfriend and I have been dating for over 3 months. We are a perfect fit and we do love each other. But since she started seeing me her grades have done down (She's a grad student) and at Christmas she's going back to Cali (...cali) Here's the deal, my bro is married to an asian girl and my girlfriend is also asian. I know how career centric asian families are so I know for sure without a doubt that they will convince her to be single when she returns.. I'm hoping she's strong enough to know what we have is a very precious thing but I'm still so worried that she'll be persuaded otherwise and the sad part is, I do understand it.. her grades have suffered since we met but we both know our relationship isn't the cause of it. I also know she's under huge pressure because her family financially supports her through school.

I think we're screwed and I'd like to travel somewhere if things don't end up how I hope they work out. I'd go to Hawaii forgetting sarah marshall style but I just got back from Maui..

Anyone have any ideas? Vegas is close.. but eh... Anyone have similar relationship stories?

btw, she totally loves coolers..

Oh man another one. Those Asian girlfriends are just breaking hearts and taking names these days.

[Travis Munroe]

3 months seems like a short time to really know she was the one.
Either way, Vegas will never treat you bad after a break up!

Mogadishu, Somalia.

Since he likes asian chicks I was going to suggest Thailand.

Jordan (Jordon?), your best plan is to just say screw it and hit up a few nice dance clubs. Get your party on!

[Potty]

For over 3 months? Dude, go to the rippers downtown to get over this one.

BTW, what does her liking coolers have to do with any of this?

[Ozy_Flame]

You could have left out the entire first paragraph . . . .

[Regulator75]

3 months? Hmmm, how about a couple drinks at the pub?

[Mad Mel]

I suggest her sister's house.

[Jordan!]

3 months is hard to believe. I hear you all. But there are broads and there are ones who really touch you. I mean, I don't expect it to take me longer than a couple of weeks to get over her if it doesn't work out but its just something I want to do. My sister died this past September and she was really there for me.. it's easy to say 3 months but when someone is a rock for you after knowing each other for a week and then 3 great months? It's not that easy brolies.

^^^ Amsterdam.

Well since her parents aren't in Pheonix, you could just not break up but have her tell them you did.

I'd feel like a dick.. I wouldn't want her to lie to her parents, or would I?? Hmmm.

I just got out of a two year relationship, and it's tough. I know that I would have been busted up over it after 3 months too, her and I moved pretty quickly. Sucks no matter how long you've been together.

My advice would be to go to California yourself, not with her or anything, but somewhere on the opposite side of the state as her and enjoy the weather for a bit. Maybe go on a road trip and see the sights elsewhere in the states, if you haven't done that already. I have enjoyed Texas the few times I have been there. Frankly, any new place is going to be exciting and keep your mind off it.

If you have good friends, spend time with them too. I know 2 years is different from three months, and I assume you haven't lived down in PHX forever, so I don't know how your friend situation is- but for me, the thing that's helping me is trying to re-connect with some friends I have accidentally neglected while dating the girl. So spend time with friends, or if you have friends in other cities, maybe visiting them would be a good idea?

Honestly, I have thought about going somewhere. I haven't yet, but I might still. But what's making every day better and better isn't the thought of travel, it's the communication I am having with close friends, spending time with them, and for lack of a better way to describe it: trying to meet someone new.

The best way to get over someone is to get a new someone. And that is the name of the game. It's amazing what a good weekend with a new friend will do to your feelings after getting dumped.

just convert to latvian orthodox man, then you're gold.

Jordon got a sex change?


[/blatantly obvious is blatantly obvious]


Vegas works. Just a week off and hard drinking with friends anywhere works though.

I'm really sorry to hear about that.

I wouldn't sweat her going home for the holidays. If anything, play it cool, and everything(she) will be back the way you want it in a few weeks.

Winnipeg.

If her grades are going down, maybe you should give her some space to study. You two should just try and work out a schedule, to give her enough time to get her grades back up to where they should be. It would be a lot easier than breaking up.
