I should probably just let this thread die, but its just been eating at me. Everyone here is pretty nice about giving advice etc...

On about the 25th my girlfriend sent me an email letting me know she was going to be out of communication for a while. I finally got an email from her today and it was really nice and really sweet. She talked about missing me, she did her little =* face. She was sympathetic about my stolen car and was obviously worried about me losing my job because of my car. She had everything in her email that I wanted and needed to hear except for the #1 thing; She still is dancing around when she will be back.

Normally when I get email from her, no matter what my mood is at the time, I become very pleased. This time, I just felt worse. This is probably one of the top 3 nicest emails I have ever received and I feel no desire to even respond. I just feel hollowed out right now, I don't think I am going to respond. Mostly I need to think, I was going to leave Utah after college, but I met her so I stayed. Now I am beginning to think about my original plan of joining the coast guard. I would much rather get a normal office job and live with her in Utah, but I'm not sure how much I want to be stalling on my second plan if she is going to continue to be so flighty.

The people I talk to (family, friends) have been trying to tell me that I am eating way too much crap in this relationship, I'm starting to think they might be right.

Mostly I just can't believe that I have an email from her and for the first time ever, I just want to delete it and join the coast guard.
