The Party´s over....

So, just thought I would update everyone.  To some of your relief´s I´m sure, I just wanted to inform everyone that Jorge and I have come to an end.

Yeah, I know we were really thinking marriage, but as we got further into the relationship it we began to realize that it would be a lot of work for both of us to come to terms with the numerous cultural differences that began to plauge our relationship. 

The love was there, but we could not do the other things that show love to each other´s liking.

There were big differences in the way we communicate, negotiate, love, and respect one another and our expectations for one another were just different, and I don´t believe that either one of us were living up to the other´s expectations.

We took a good look at where we are, and where we wanted to go, and what it would take to get there.  We had to come to terms with the fact that it looked like we really just weren´t going to see eye-to-eye on various aspects of life and be on the same page, or in other words, in the lingo of martial negotiation, dealbreakers.

We came to a mutual decision, no tears, no yelling, no blaming, nothing.  Anti-climatic really, decision that it´s best if we just go our separate ways.

I still am planning on trying to extend in the area of HIV-AIDS work with a branch of the Paraguayan government, is I came here to work in the first place, not get married!  And the job really sounds interesting, and I am looking forward to it.

I hope I can count an all your support as we all know the worst time to go through a break is the Holidays.  I believe worse than Valentines because thats just one day, this is a whole SEASON.  Blah!

Much love to all,

Felices Fiestas
