My roommate just found out via Skype that her boyfriend whom she loves dearly is leaving for a year and they'll never see each other again. I don't kn

ow what to do.

he's Tunisian, she's Canadian, he doesn't want to marry a non-Muslim, she is not going to become Muslim and move permanently to Tunisia.

He just gave her 2 weeks notice because that's when he's going to Belgium for a year of work. That means they will likely never see each other again.

She's crying at work and I don't know how to console her :(

Responses:

Let her cry for a little bit, but she's at work so she kind of has to suck it up right now. Take her out after work and let her let it out then. -- nm - Dano Sep 15, 08:33
As much as it sucks, it's for the best. She shouldn't be with a guy like that. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Sep 15, 08:31 4
- this could be taken many ways... -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:32 3
  - Johnny, what can you make out of this? -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Sep 15, 08:34 2
    - you should have used a fraskal SI just for poops and giggles -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:35 1
      - dammit, I should have and agreed with you *stupid Beak* -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:35
Was this mainly an online relationship? -- nm - Inigo Sep 15, 08:29
Report him as a terrorist to the FBI, he'll be thrown in Gitmo, and she could visit him from time to time. -- nm - Loyola Sep 15, 08:28 17
- you think Americans get to visit Gitmo? hhahahaah -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 08:32 9
  - Well so much for this cake I was baking! -- nm - HdnAgnda Sep 15, 08:35
  - Well I don't know, she could hollow out a Koran and sneak in a cell phone to him that way. - Loyola Sep 15, 08:34 5
    - you think they're allowed to get care packages? -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:34 4
      - Well they must get some stuff because I was playing one the other night on Call of Duty online multiplayer. -- nm - Loyola Sep 15, 08:36 3
        
        heh -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:38
        
        oh yeah, he was telling the truth. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:37
        
        *snort* - Andie Sep 15, 08:37
  - sure, just google the right words and you get a free trip! -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:33
  - You think we take Loyola's advice seriously? :) -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 08:33
- Rat him out to the Religious Police and get him stoned for humping out of wedlock - Beaker Sep 15, 08:30
- pssstt I don't think the FBI has jurisdiction in Tunisia. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:29 5
  - the CIA, though...that's a different question... -- nm - znufrii Sep 15, 08:32
  - that's what kidnapping is for. -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:31
  - before he gets on the plane -- nm - zork Sep 15, 08:31 2
    - where do you think HK is right now? -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:31 1
      - *shrug* -- nm - zork Sep 15, 08:32
Burn his Koran! -- nm - Pastor Terry Jones Sep 15, 08:28
If the whole Muslim thing was a deal breaker for both of them...this was a foregone conclusion yes? - Jim Sep 15, 08:28 14
- theyve been dating for almost a year. they both refuse to do long dist, and they've both said over and over that it ends when it ends. - Hotkiss Sep 15, 08:31 7
  - Dano is right. Taking her out after work might be a good idea. -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 08:41
  - then she needs to man-up and go bang some other dude. -- nm - decline Sep 15, 08:35 1
    - like the doorman. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:36
  - ahhh (this makes it less of a dumping), just be a friend and listen and console -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:34
  - Sounds like she needs to get over the shock and get to 2 weeks worth of furious humping. ;) - Jim Sep 15, 08:33 2
    - maybe....rub her back a little....yes that's it...now set up the web camera... -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:33 1
      - heeee -- nm - zork Sep 15, 08:40
- do you people not remember falling in love with inappropriate people when you were 20? come on... -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 08:29 4
  - Hell no...I was (and remain) perfect. ;) -- nm - Jim Sep 15, 08:30
  - sure, but we also are on the other side and now realize the stark truth that shit happens and we move on -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 08:30 1
    - sure, but at least show a little sympathy, that stuff hurts like hell. -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 08:31
  - absolutely. I get it. you just have to live through it. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:29
- exactly. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:28
dumped via Skype? She should go to his place and burn all his crap. -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:27 3
- Well...maybe not *all* of it. - HdnAgnda Sep 15, 08:32
- c'mon. Skype is basically a phone call for many people. If you're separated by distance, this is more than appropriate -- nm - oblique Sep 15, 08:28 1
  - it sounds like they are both in Tunis. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:29
She loves him dearly? Wants to be with him the rest of her life? -- nm - amoxy Sep 15, 08:25
poor thing, just let her talk and cry. just listen. (also, why did he tell her at WORK?) -- nm - Andie Sep 15, 08:23 4
- exactly what Andie says. just be there for her. she just has to go through it. your friendship will help. -- nm - kare Sep 15, 08:48
- agreed, this should be FTF. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:24 2
  - Skype is close enough. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 08:26 1
    - only if you don't live in the same town. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:28
honestly ... let her cry. a person has to go through it, even though it sucks. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:22 13
- ps. two weeks notice for a breakup is bullshit. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:23 12
  - why? it's a job being in relationship. can't we follow the same rules for work? -- nm - Remlik Sep 15, 08:26 10
    - I just hope she gets a severance... package... Hmm, this sentence got dirtier than I intended... -- nm - Ender Sep 15, 08:33
    - i actually get how this could happen. they both knew it would end eventually, but they're in love, then he finds out he's leaving in 2 weeks, and - Andie Sep 15, 08:27 2
      - Huh, I thought loosi was insinuating that the guy has known for more than two weeks. Of course, we don't know that. -- nm - con_carne Sep 15, 08:51
      - Yes, but the exit interview seems a little over the top. -- nm - pmb Sep 15, 08:37
    - I never got laid off or fired with notice. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:26 5
      - well then wouldn't two weeks be nice to have? so he's really ahead of the game then! - Remlik Sep 15, 08:27 4
        
        he wants two more weeks of free humping. I'm not st00pid. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 15, 08:28 3
        
        two weeks of intense goodbye humping -- nm - zork Sep 15, 08:29
        
        the girl is if he gets 2 more weeks of humping -- nm - Beaker Sep 15, 08:29 1
        
        sheesh. i would rather know as soon as the decision is made. he's probably hurting too - kare Sep 15, 08:52
  - it's hilarious. i hope he put it in writing, or the clock doesn't start officially. -- nm - TFox Sep 15, 08:24
