First, I'll tell you where I'm coming from, so you don't think I'm some 13 year old reading a Dr. Ruth magazine...I'm 34 years old. Divorced at 19, widowered at 21, and now married for 11 years. I've got 4 kids (2 mothers), and started sleeping around at 13 (Ahhh, the 80's...). I've lived in Europe and the US, and prefer (now) Central Germany over most places in the United States.  I've started over a few times. House burned down once. Lost everything I owned when a Texas Twister threw a trailer home into my house. Lost everything again duing a flood. Lost everything I owned when I went to Desert Storm and some low-life stripped my house.  So, I'm not exactly blowing sunshine up your butt with the following:  You're 18. You have a full life, and lots of women ahead of you.  You also have an option that you don't see, that most people would never have the guts to take. You seem like you do.  WALK OFF!  Pack your stuff into a napsack, as "Mom" if you can put the other stuff in the attic, get a handful of Euro's and start walking around. Do odd jobs here and there, sleep in hostels, work taking out trash for a bistro for breakfast. Sit beside the road and compose poetry.  DO SOMETHING!  You have the opportunity of a lifetime. Forget her. She's gone. Let her have her handfasting and her lover. You can take your life and do something you'll remember forever.  Make your way across Europe, promising "Mom" you'll come home in a year or two, settle down, get a job, and be productive. Take the time to get your head straight, move on with your life, let "cheating girl" move on with hers.  You have a major opportunity that someone needs to kick you in the ass and get you started on. See the culture, and immerse yourself in it. Only arrogant F**ktards think that America is the end all be all. You have an opportunity to do things you'll eventually be able to tell your grandkids about.  Stop moping about, stop pining over her.  It's over. She's gone. Move on.  "But I don't want to!" "But it can be saved!" "But I can fix this!"  Hey, go into her purse, get your testicles, and hook them back on.  Pack a change of clothing into a napsack, get a map and "Europe on $5 a day" book, and start walking. Rent a bicycle. GO see Europe.  You have no attatchments. If worse comes to worse, you can come back to "mom" in defeat if it gets too much for you.  Take a chance.</blockquote>
