Els Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I can't help but feel some self-pity sometimes.. especially when the SO leaves for a long time again. I'll be 23 this year. And I have never even been in a relationship where time was not precious, where we thought we'd have each other indefinitely (that rarely becomes true, I know, but still..), where there wasn't the prospect of long distance coming along shortly. Couple of times, it even began long distance. And I can't help but wonder, why me? I look around and see couples who are able to live together or close by, complaining that the bf comes back late, that the gf is a slob who leaves her socks everywhere, etc etc... and I can't help but think, don't they realize how lucky they are? No, it isn't because I'm more attracted to people whom I know will be gone shortly, the chasing-after-shadows phenomenon. Some I was attracted to before I even knew they'd be leaving. I think it IS partly because I'm mostly attracted to intelligent, successful men. And as I'm from a third world country, and am of the minority race that gets marginalized quite badly, most of our best brains try to get the hell out of here, hence they work and study overseas. Just ranting.. Link to post Share on other sites
LikeCharlotte Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Sometimes I think back to times when I had an SO near me and all the complaints and frustrations and I wonder if I was being petty or if I would be the same way if the LDR were not LD. I haven't come to any conclusive decisions yet... but I know how you feel. Link to post Share on other sites
