In a nutshell:
My bro just got married to this girl from Mexico, they met many years ago. They intro'd me to her sister years ago. We got along. I was 18, she was 21. Her sister doesn't speak English, and lives in Mexico.
She goes back to Mexico after we both got along VERY well, despite language differences.
Years later, I'm turning 21, she's turning 24, we have a big family reunion for their informal wedding in the States. We get along well. a month later our families meet again in Mexico for the formal wedding. She allows me to stay at her apartment (she has a female roommate) 3 hours away from her family, and where my family will gather. We stay there for 7 days, then travel to where our families are for the wedding.
Before I went to stay with her, I bought her these $200 earrings. I Figured, maybe it can start something, and if not, at least that's how much renting a hotel would cost either way. I would assume she liked them.
She's a very traditional Mexican girl, has her degree, smart, she cooked for me every day when I stayed at her apartment... and then BAM! I found out she had a boyfriend who's 28, they don't seem serious... but still. I found this out after staying at her apartment for 3-4 days. Also, understand this isn't Western culture, it's more or less okay for me to stay at her apartment, without any weird thoughts.
I asked her before if she had a boyfriend before I stayed with her in Mexico (because my very strange aunt told me she did), "My aunt told me you have a boyfriend, is that true?", and she laughed and said 'no'.
I asked her about it the night of the wedding/reception when I walked her to her room (her boyfriend didn't attend since it was 3 hours away)... I found out she thought I asked, "My aunt think's I'm your boyfriend, is that true?"
Point is, she hasn't wronged me... in ANY WAY... and she's still an awesome person. I can't deny those facts. I usually get over girls my putting bad ideas in my head about them, and eventually hating them and being bitter, but I wouldn't want to think anything bad about this girl. She just hasn't wronged me.
Also, she's having a mariachi sombraro being made for me. So until I recieve that... I'll stay in contact.
I'd like to cut contact at least until something more permanent can happen, as in she moves to the States to practice her degree here/live close to her sister.
If she ever gets married, I'll totally be broken, since I was crazy about her... my bro's always joked how me and her will be the last one's in the family to get married.
Keeping this girl in my head isn't doing me any good, and having her on Skype and Facebook isn't making it easier.
FWIW, I'm also thinking of joining Army as a Combat Medic (68W), hopefully getting messed up in the head by war can fix myself up.
How can I forget about her for the meantime? I blocked her from my Facebook newsfeed, and uninstalled Skype for a while. I can't just delete her, and expect no weirdness, since my brother and his wife speak to her a lot.
