Suggestions on how to keep final meet somewhat uplifting?

[matius]

Hi, my girlfriend and I of 2+ years broke up a little over 6 months ago. It was gut wrenching but as friendly as possible considering... you know, when a couple people grow apart from each other... and both know it. It was a sad situation for both of us, but we've maintained and have talked occasionally and kept things quite civil. Neither of us have relationship-feelings for each other, in my opinion.

 

But an interesting turn of events, she's moving out of the country soon. So, there will be a final meeting/dinner to say goodbye. I still get a bit down when I talk to her on the phone... but as with any friend you're not going to see much anymore.

 

I don't know if I can deal with an extremely emotional goodbye. Besides not going to dinner ;0, any suggestion for how to pull the bandaid quickly, or do you think it might be unavoidable?

Bittersweet but unavoidable. Wish her well, kiss her cheek, turn away whistling and get on with your life.

 

Sorry, bro.

 

Zack.

I wish my ex would move to a different country. heh.

 

Anyway, just meet her and get it over with, don't plan anything, just go with the flow. good luck!

Since you guys are still friends, I would think that going out for a last dinner before she leaves would be a good thing. Yeah, it will be emotional but you still care about her doncha?

[matius]

Yea of course I care for her.

 

I agree, a bittersweet situation such as life. I suppose there's not too much more to say...

 

Thx everyone.
