The Broken Up Silk Road

 
We were in China with her parents, and we were broken up. Her parents didn't know. They had already paid for the entire trip.

We traveled the northern route of the Silk Road by train. We had a compartment to ourselves.
It was a difficult to be in a foreign country traveling with your ex and her parents and sharing close quarters. We made it work. We had sex. We even enjoyed the trip.

Upon returning state-side, everything changed. I resented her. If we were broken up, I couldn't continue sharing close quarters. I loved her too much.

She resented me too. We were trapped just like before the break up. So I took off for Des Moines for a week.

It was the best decision I've ever made.
