Well, Paul Simon says you just slip out the back, Jack; make a new plan, Stan; you don't need to be coy, Roy, just set yourself free.

Of course you could also just hop on a bus, Gus. You don't need to discuss much. You could just drop off the key, Lee; and get yourself free.

Short answer: Don't.

Here's the long answer: Who controls you? You? Your ex-girlfriend? If it's you, then it doesn't matter where she is or where you are. It doesn't matter if you're on the same ship or different continents. She's where she is, and you are where you are, and nothing else matters. Don't let her into your head. You control you, not her. There is nothing you can do to control her, so you control yourself. Get a new girlfriend. Treat her nice (as nicely as any sailor could; understandably, there are issues involved with being involved with a sailor). If a new girlfriend is not on board with a relationship with you then do something else. Get a hobby, like collecting coins or stamps. Or study astronomy (that could be useful to a sailor).

If you are looking for "revenge," (not sayin' nuttin about nuttin) remember that the best revenge is living a good life.

The other answer might be to volunteer for as many shipboard deployments as you can.

Don't do stupid stuff that creates the ex- girlfriend in the first place.

Never had a bad relationship with any ex girlfriends, got along fine. The last girlfriend I married and it's been just over 45 years now ! Up until My current and only wife I never indicted to any of them the desire to get married either or feel I had to avoid them.
