I stumbled across this topic while I was browsing the forums, then I had to go out, much to my dismay. I got up to the 2nd to last Chapter, then had to go. I've just come home and read the rest. I was in your position, just on the lighter side, the girl I was with didn't sleep with anyone, just did stuff with them when I was near.
I just want to wish you good luck in the future, and I may have to add you to MSN, just so I can check how you are doing, you've got me very interested, and if my situation comes to this, I may need your help. I think everyone who has read this thread has seen the amount of pain and emotion that life brings, and how quickly this get broken. I give my kudos for you on not giving up, pushing on, you're an inspiration for a lot of us. This is one of the best and warming threads I've ever read, I've been on here for around 4 to 5 years now, so that's a big feat my friend.
I see now that you've had a rough life what with the parents splitting up and the like, but maybe things are starting to look up. As with the girlfriend thing, I think you need to give it time, spend more time with her, more phone calls, the usual. Eventually, if you don't push your feelings, you'll become attached too.
I'll be watching this thread for any more information, could you PM me or MSN me if anything new happens?
