This is getting brutal! Personal fights usually do, though.

In case you missed it from Monday, Laura and I split up over the weekend. I'm hoping that it's only a trial separation, while she figures out what she wants to do (and if she thinks we can work). A breath of fresh air can strengthen a relationship, and we can come out stronger because of it. It'll just take time. I'm hoping this is the case.

It could go the other way, too, though. And that would suck. I would lose my girlfriend and my best friend at the same time. However, I respect her wants and needs, and if she feels she needs this, then I have to accept it for now. She deserves that from me.

Thanks to everyone who has sent me e-mails, comments, and messages encouraging me and comforting me - it does mean a lot. I do ask that people not send her pressuring messages, though. This is just as difficult for her as it is for me, and she deserves and needs support as much as I do. Send her comforting comments, let her know that you're there for her - but please don't try to pressure her to get back together with me. If she feels that's what she wants, then it'll happen.
