Looks like you two get to have you cake and eat it. You two separate on good terms, have a break to boan others, and can maybe rekindle things upon your return. Have fun.

Enjoy it while you can. When do you leave? While on your trip, be sure to keep your communication to a minimum.

it can work. Just don't fuck anyone she knows, and don't make any drunk comments about it.

The ex and I were doing the above fairly successfully until I ran my mouth to the wrong person. A mutual friend of ours (more so hers than mine) had been talking about how she kept an ex around to break her dry spells because he was good in bed. I, being drunk, decide to thump my chest a bit and quip back that if being good in bed is the only prerequisite, then I should have a spot on her spell breaker list. It was honestly just a joke, and she reacted as though she got it was a joke. I then hear from another mutual friend that the ex is livid at me for disrespecting her by trying to bang one of her friends. I think I'm just going to be moving on completely now, as shit is getting all sorts of inconvenient and complicated, and it doesn't seem like hassling over it is the right thing.

Just make sure that yall are broken up, that you don't promise her that you won't sleep with other people, that you don't post any pictures of you making out with/groping, and that you don't go bragging about it to your buddies.

Yea we are for sure broken up, and I certainly made no promises. It's just that we still correspond, and she sends me care packages, etc. Excessive entanglement, I guess.

Regular communication with your ex immediately after you break up usually means at least one of the involved parties would like to resume the relationship. I don't think it's impossible for former lovers to develop a platonic friendship, but that seems to come much later on when the romantic feelings have been permitted enough time to become dormant.

Dude- yall should probably stop that. If you give it enough space, you'll find that it's either out of sight, out of mind, or distance make the heart grow fonder. If it's the latter for both of yall, then you get to resume the relationship on great terms. If it's the former, then you have as good of an idea as any that it's time to cut it off anyway. If you keep up with the care packages and regular communication, you're not going to be able to assess the situation clearly, and may also end up taking her for granted because you can't even get breathing room while in another country.

YMMV

Edit: incidentally, just had one of the most level headed conversations that I've ever had with the ex about a problem that's arisen. Apparently she was just venting to the mutual friend and wanted to cool down before addressing it. She gave me the benefit of the doubt, heard my side of the story, and then rolled with it. Kinda cool. It's the first communication that we've had in two months, and will hopefully be the last for the next two.

Alright, guys, advice on ending a long-distance relationship (~600 miles) when she probably doesn't see it coming and has a plane ticket to come visit in two weeks...oh, and there's someone else in the picture on my side. Go!

"I met someone else. I couldn't make the long distance thing work. I'm sorry. I can reimburse you for the plane ticket."
