Els Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I just realized today, that I have absolutely no support network for my LDR. People whom I usually talk to IRL either do not know, do not understand, or are cynical about it and thus wouldn't be able to offer any help beyond, 'See, honey, told you you should've dumped him and found one who lives nearby'. How about you guys? Is there anyone IRL whom you can talk to about any troubles regarding your LDR, who would understand? I was thinking of starting some kind of support network for the people here who need one - maybe a MSN or email group or something, if it isn't done already. While the forum itself certainly has its purpose, I believe we're forbidden to give out personal information such as messenger and email (correct me if I'm wrong)? Also, I'm sure nobody wants me to start my 384628623th thread about 'Oh, I miss him so much'. What does everyone think?
Rollercoasterr Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Maybe I'm the weird one, or maybe it's just the demeanor of people here in Kentucky, but all of my friends are very supportive. They love Mathew. The people I work with are my best friends and they can't wait for him to finally get to move down here to be with me. As for my family, I would probably be disowned if Mathew and I split up.
SophieA Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I'm in the same boat, Els. No one to talk to. It doesn't bother me much though. I mean, I have days where I get REALLY down but I've sort of become a pro at managing those days. He'll be home for good in about 10 months and this will all be over. Thank goodness.
ecco51 Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 I'm pretty much with you guys. My close friends understand and help out and are actually very friendly with her, but people that I usually tell off the bat and family and stuff always give me the "you should look for someone here" speach
xxxheartbrokenxxx Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 The majority of my friends/family have been relatively supportive but there has been the odd one or two negative comments which makes me feel insecure about the relationship. Only my roommates have met him thus far and they really liked him, but Im forever trying to convince everyone else what a brilliant man he is which is frustrating for me, they just have to take my word for it right now but one day they will see for themselves what a lovely person he is. People can be sceptical and must think Im kidding myself/deluded/poor judge of character/exagerating/lying. So long as me and my beloved boyfriend are happy together and know its real then thats all that matters.
Lovin a scrapper Posted February 8, 2010 Posted February 8, 2010 Maybe I'm the weird one, or maybe it's just the demeanor of people here in Kentucky, but all of my friends are very supportive. They love Mathew. The people I work with are my best friends and they can't wait for him to finally get to move down here to be with me. As for my family, I would probably be disowned if Mathew and I split up. My family and friends have been very supportive of our relationship pretty much from the start. They have been around Rayette several times, love her very much and cant wait for her to get here!!! My coworkers like her as well but I never get close to coworkers enough to share much of my personal life. They know that she is from Oregon, loves scrapbooking and is moving here. Thats pretty much the extent that they know and that is perfectly fine with me.
