Those "ring" cues were, while sincere, not fully thought out. He has realized that getting engaged is not a possibility with a 3 yr long distance relationship on the horizon. Also, his current savings will only get him through 6-7 months rent up by the school. That translates to: no money. When we initially talked about getting engaged, it was with the thought that he would not be starting school until at least the Fall or Winter. This school admitting early sort of threw us for a loop. It would not be logical for him not to attend, it is a great opportunity.
We discussed the harsh realities tonight, not knowing what to do. The program he is accepted into is so intense that he will have very little free time. Neither of us want to give up the relationship, but what can we possibly do? It was a very sad, weepy and grim discussion.
I guess I will continue blogging on what will be a turbulent relationship to come.
