Irishguy1125 Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 My GF and I have been dating for about 3 months and we started just before the college semester ended at college. Things were great until the long distance of the relationship started to set in, the lack of visiting and more focused on phone. Then we kind of got spacey with the phone as well. She told me yesterday she felt guilty she hadn't been as attentive to the relationship as me and felt bad that she didn't feel like we were a couple anymore. So we talk and decided to slow things down and just be "friends" until school starts again in early august and try to pick things up again when we get back. Is this kind of break normal, or do you think it is just setting me up for disappointment? Thanks for any help!
seanieB Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 same boat mate, university relationships are tough. Me and my gf were fine during the summer holidays, we used msn, webcam, phonecalls to keep in touch and it was good. But wait till you graduate man, thats when it gets tough. If you both cant find employment near each other at the end of university you will struggle. Maybe suggest to her you use other forms of communication other than just phonecalls
GrayClouds Posted July 16, 2010 Posted July 16, 2010 A "break" usually like this is just short for break-up, away to to do so that does not feel as bad as stating the actually truth. It seems to make sense to break-up but just do not set yourself up by hoping things will reconnect in a few months, Move on and focus on yourself.
Author Irishguy1125 Posted July 16, 2010 Author Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks for your advice, we talked today and never really said the words break up or break, just slowing things down in our relationship until we get back to school soon. It's hard to really know where her heart is but hopefully it will all work out.
