I could never decipher that 私 (4th one in the first line). Aren't there 2 strokes missing?
Seriously, fix that ASAP.

It's quite a bit different reading handwriting as opposed to fonts on a screen. I have trouble reading a few characters that are handwritten most of the time, but I could read this guy's girlfriend's message quite easily.

I still can't find the missing strokes, even when I know where they should be

Way to go, you pissed off your Japanese girlfriend. Maybe this is just a really clever brag thread, like the dick in the toilet.

This seems like as good a place as any to fish for some decent Japanese learning resources...

Well I think it's hilarious because the girl wrote it in Japanese so she knows that he will have to ask someone about what it says, and that person will know he is a douchebag to her. Women are such conniving vaginal life support systems.

haha, okay i guess i should say something about it.

first, thanks for the translation. my girlfriend isn't japanese, she's chinese. she just knows japanese pretty well and she knows i can't read it (i am chinese).

had a bad fight last night regarding long distance issues. im working in los angeles and shes going to school in san diego (1.5 hour commute). I visit a lot (about 3 times a week) and really make the effort to show dedication cuz she's an awesome girl, but the distance is wearing her down and shes basically telling me she won't be happy unless i live near/with her.

im not sure what to do at this point. should i stay with her and try my best knowing she'd be pretty unhappy or should i let her go and find someone who could be near her?

her own opinion is that she doesn't want anyone else, she just wants me to move... but its difficult for me to move because i just started working here and my family is here as well (in LA).

opinions?

ehh, i personally would not consider a 1.5 commute that bad, assuming this is by public transit...

however, to decide whether or not the girl is actually worth it, you should post some pics and set up a poll as per rules

Okay bro I am going through the same shit with my girlfriend, and have had to deal with it in the past. Tell her that if you 3 times a week (which is plenty btw, people have had to deal with less) is insufficient, she could come up and visit YOU on the other days to share the burden. If she can't drive, she can use public transport. If she is unwilling to do that, then tell her that that shows already how much more you care than she does. If that is what happens, I think you should break up for your own sake.

Also, there is definitely something psycho about writing notes on people's legs in languages they can't understand. I think you need to realize that it's time to move on (from the information you presented, anyway), and find someone in your area who will give you more back and won't be a maniac.

A girl who can't overcome an hour and a half distance might not be worth the time. But like the person above add a picture and a poll and let TL decide.

She actually tries her best to come up and visit me when i'm not down there. Usually, during the weekdays, she can't do it but on the weekends she tries to come every other weekend.

Another thing that is throwing a wrench in it is her mom, her mom doesn't approve of her driving (and last year, flying from san diego to san francisco) to see me, which is pretty lame. As a result, she makes less trips and it has to be under the radar somehow.

When she wrote that, it was around 3 AM and i fell asleep. I think she couldn't sleep after all the shit we talked about, so I don't blame her if its a little psycho. Your brain does weird stuff when it isn't sleeping when it should be.

Anyway, here's a pic for popular demand. Im not gonna base anything on a poll, cuz i know for what reasons i like her. haha.

Left most with the light tan shirt is her.
She usually doesn't wear make up like this.

I like it more when she looks like this (no make up)

1.5 isnt bad. the thing that would piss me off more is that shes playing these fucking games knowing you cant read japanese. fuck that shit. if she has a problem, she should say it.

edit: read your update! best of luck!
