Betty Boop Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I'm really in quite a pickle right now!! There's this guy that Ive known since I was 11 and we've been best friends and have been going out, for which seems like forever now. We both love eachother to bits and I want to spend the rest of my life with him, but we're both in university and we're finding the long distance extrememely hard. We used to spend all our time together and now nothing!ony every 3weeks or so. We have broken up, because it was too much, with both of us having new friends and our lives no longer revolve around eachother. We have a rough time since coming to uni and have both said and done some nasty things to one another, but still love eachother. He still says he loves me and misses me and still wants to be with me and wants to meet up with me in the Easter Holidays to talk. He says he needs reassurance, because he no longer thinks it can work, because it hasnt worked so far. How do you show someone it can? and how can you make a long-distance relationship work? I never realised how important to me that I was able to just hold his hand or kiss him and now I can't!!!! I don't see how anyone can see positive aspects of long-distance relationships. I don't want to lose him. Link to post Share on other sites
moimeme Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I find it really interesting that people cannot withstand time away from their loved ones without starting to lose the feeling. There are couple who have to deal with extended absences due to work assignments; it would be a shame if they all broke up. In my experience, love doesn't vanish in the absence of 3D contact. People do have different emotional needs, however, and some, I suppose, need to be in constant contact to sustain a relationship. If that's the sort of person you know yourself to be, then perhaps you should see him to tell him you can't manage the relationship as it is. Link to post Share on other sites
