Experienced User
Hello every1!!! I have been in a on/off relationship for 2 1/2 yrs. Well about a month ago, my bf moved to Florida to be with his dad. Now he is 4 states away from me. I just don't know wut to do. We talk everyday, most the time a couple times a day, and we write each other, but it still dosen't seem like enough 4 me. Sad I miss his soooooo much. I graduate from high school n about 6 1/2 months and we have been plan-n 4 me 2 move down there w/ him, but that time just seems so far away.

Has any1 every been through anythin like this???? Any1 got any tips to make it a little bit easier for me?? Any advice, or ideas would help!!!

THANKS in advance!!!!

Just keep your faith and dont give up. If its true love then you guys will make it through this. I cant imagine being away from my hubby and we also have been together for 2 years. I went up north for 10 days and we missed each other so much. Sorry I couldnt be of more help.

Just try to remember to good times and stay strong. Love can get you through

Hi,

I'm currently in a long distance relationship, three and a half hours away although it seems further considering we never get to see eachother since I have swim meets every weekend and class during the week-- so no visits... Sad

Well if it doesn't seem like enough for you then talk more! I can't go a full day without talking to him. We talk for an hour during the day between my classes and then I need to talk to him before I go to bed for a two or so hours... My favorite part of my day is honestly when I cuddle up in blankets and we talk about how our days went and what not. So I guess the best advice I can think of is to try and talk as much as you can since it's really all you've got you know?

I know what you mean about things seeming so far away. I just need to get past these next two weeks of studying and finals and then I'm back home!-- but its taking forever...

If you need talk about anything let me know!

Thanks!!
Thanks both of you guys!!!! This whole situation is really tough. We were so use to c-n each other at least 1 a wk. Back then that didn't seem like enough to me, but know that I haven't been able to c him n about a month, I wish I could c him 1 a wk. I know I will B ok, it just takes a lot of sacrific ( I think that how you spell it), and faith. I just really hope I get to c him for x-mas. He says he gonna try to come and stay w/ me for a couple day around x-mas, but he's not for sure if he can or not. If not, it's go-n to B a lonely x-mas w/out him................... Crying or Very sad

Thanks again!!!!!!

Hey guys......I don't kno how much more of dis long distance crap I can take. Now he is say-n he prob. won't B able 2 make it 4 x-mas. Sad When I talk 2 him, he sounds so sad, & all he talks bout is how much he misses me, and needs me there w/ him. I'm sad bout it 2, but when i hear him so sad, it makes it 10 times worse on me. I also have another issue.............................

1 of my guy friends from skool, ask 4 my # da otha day, & we have been talk-n & text-n each otha, and were R suppose 2 go C a movie or sumthin dis wknd. (jus as friends) I told my bf bout it, and he don't care long as we r strictly jus friends, & nothin else happens btwn us...... The prob. is, my friend likes me more then jus friends, & I kno dis sounds terriable, but I'm start-n 2 get feel-ns 4 him, juz a little bit. I guess cause I don't have my bf around, & I c & talk 2 my friend more then my bf. He's so sweet, and makes me feel gud bout myself, & when I talk 2 him, I feel so much betta bout everythin. We been talk-n bout a wk, & I feel so close 2 him, like we can talk bout anythin.
I jus don't kno wut 2 do. It's like I wan't 2 break up w/ my current bf, and give my friend a chance, but then again, I feel like I can't do dat 2 my bf........... Confused .... I'm so confused.

If any1 has any advice 2 give me, i really would appreciate it. Or if any1 has been in this situation B4.

Thanks in advance.

Well I see it like this:
Long distance relationships are tough. Period. You need to remember good times and look forward to the next time you'll see eachother just to get you through the time you're appart. Yeah, your guy sounds sad, you're four states away. Unfortunately talking about how much you miss eachother is another thing that is just part of long distance relationships. But like with everything else, you just have to redirect the conversation to how wonderful it will be when you are together. That usually gets my guy and I out of whatever bad mood one of us happens to be in.

There isn't much advice to give on your situation; you just need to figure out what you want. Do you love your current guy enough to wait out 6 and a half months and move in with him? Is he worth waiting for? What's making you consider another guy? I think you need to sit down and think on this and decide what it is you want.

Good luck!

Maddie,
Yes, ur right. I do need 2 set down & think bout wut I really want. Right now, i'm so confused. I do love my bf so much!!!!! I do want 2 have a home & family w/ my bf. It's like when I talk 2 my bf, I feel like 1 person, & when I talk 2 or even C my friend, I feel like a total different person. I'm pretty sure the reason I feel like this is cause i havn't seen my bf since Halloween, and my friend is show-n me attention dat I havn't been able 2 get from my bf. I kno if my bf was still here w/ me, i wouldn't B fall-n 4 sum1 else. N 2 1/2 yrs. I have neva started 2 get feel-ns 4 sum1 else, except 4 right now.

I think I'm gonna call my bf 2night, and B straight out w/ him & tel him wut is go-n on. I'm gonna tell him he needs 2 come C me soon as possiable. I kno it will upset him a litte, but its wut I need 2 do.

If I feel different when I C him, then I kno wut I have 2 do.

Thanks!!!!

Are you absolutely sure you should be considering starting a family with this guy when you can't be away from him for more than 4 months and not think about another guy?

I get attention from other guys too, but I also love my boyfriend enough to set things straight with however is giving me attention and keep my distance if need be. I don't need it and half the time I don't even notice I'm recieving it. If I ever felt the need to bask in the attention of someone other than my boyfriend's, then he'd be the first to know because that's when I realize something's not right with us.

Age aside-- you don't seem to be mature enough to be thinking about staying with one guy for the rest of your life. And just so you don't misunderstand me: You don't know what you want, so take some time to learn what it is you want in a relationship before you consider having a family with someone.

@ 1st when I read ur post, I started 2 get a little mad, but I read it again, & I do realize wut ur say-n is right. I'm was suppose 2 go 2 da movies 2night w/ my friends, but I told him mayB another time. I canceled on him, cause i'm go-n 2 set @ home & figure out wut i really want. I'm go-n 2 call my bf & tell him everythin, & then figure out wut I'm go-n 2 do from there.

I jus want 2 say thank U, I think read-n ur post has made me realize a couple things.

Thanks 4 all ur help.

K. I have gotten my head straight. I'm stay-n w/ my bf. I realized dat if I really do love him like I do, dat I shouldn't B even consider-n think-n bout leave-n him 4 anotha guy. I told my friend dat it has 2 stop & we can't B more then friends. I told him dat I love my bf & it was jus wrong wut I was do-n. Thankfully he understood, & was cool w/ it.

Thanks 4 all U guys help!!!!
