Hello /adv/. There are two women.
One I have been with for a year and a half. I know, it sounds bad to even say there's a second after that statement. Anyway, she lives far away(5 hours), but I drive every weekend to see her during college semesters. She is only 2 hours away during christmas break/summer and I see her nearly daily then.
She has some problems. She smokes a lot of weed for anxiety, which I'm not comfortable with but have come to accept as a necessity for her. She is really, really smart and sweet but occasionally has a very mean streak when she is feeling bad. It's a roller coaster. One day she's better than anyone else I've ever been around, the next I'm fighting to get her happy. I hope it can be conveyed through this that I love her, and I want the best for her. I make a lot of sacrifices - 100k miles on my car, 10+ hours driving a week and the expenses that go with that, lost sleep because I leave for class from her house at 2 am so I can make it, etc. - my live revolves around her. Except on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays..and that's where the problem comes in.
I met a different girl. We're friends. We hang out every Tuesday and Wednesday now. I like her. She's entirely different than my girlfriend - ultra stable(she's in a law program, out next year). She's a conservative, religious republican which is like weird and borderline hilarious to me, but it somehow comes off in a really respectable way. That's it. I respect this girl a lot, and she likes me.
This has given me a lot of second thoughts about my girlfriend. I thought for the last couple of years having her that I was really lucky to find someone I got along with so well, being sort of a weirdo myself, but having found girl #2 I've had this strange revelation that I can get along with people who are far different from me. It's made me question if having a girlfriend nearly identical to me(plus the emotional baggage, luckily I'm without that) is a necessity.
