I'm moving to the area for grad school myself, I'll only be an hour away, but it'll take me another year to finish up. I'm hoping that she'll see me more and that might help, but deep down I can't help feel like it's over.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like you're handling your loss better than I am. I don't necessarily agree with a fatalistic approach to relationships, but maybe that's because I already blew my chance with her and now I have to believe I can work to make amends. Best of luck to you too.
