friend arrived at work this morning to find a distressing e-mail from a close friend. It seems that she and her boyfriend of about five years had broken up. This was not something she wanted. Having recently been in a very similar situation, I felt I was qualified to offer some advice. I began to write back to her when I realized I'm not qualified at all. I have opinions on how to cope with the situation, but why should she listen to me? So, I thought I'd tell her the story of a friend of mine. This old friend of mine dated a girl for over four years. In the beginning, he resisted any ideas of commitment for the longest time. Eventually, he gave in and settled down. This couple moved in together and lived happily for the better part of two years. They would host Superbowl parties together, and go on vacations together. Then, one day, a realization hit him like he was in the shower and someone had just flushed the toilet: he felt he could marry this girl. This was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life withFate struck him cruel that day, for it wasn't to be. Shortly after having this epiphany, my friend found out that the woman he loved was ready to move on. She felt the need to grow outside of the relationship. This was very sad for my friend and he wasn't sure if he would be able to continue on alone. Everything seemed hopeless for my friend. The idea of waking up in the morning alone scared this guy so much that there were times when he hoped he'd sleep forever. There were times when he wanted to sleep the big sleep.
