steve10 Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 This is only the 4th or 5th time I've logged onto this site so I thought I'd give an update on my situation. The advice I received really helped me and was much appreciated. I realised that 2 hours is absolutely nothing in terms of distance and we could see each other on a weekly basis if we wanted. I remember asking her out. I thought she was on the verge of ending it with me so I took the plunge, went out on a limb and asked her if she wanted to be my girlfriend. To which she replied yes, definitely! And then continued to give the biggest most gorgeous smile I have ever seen in my life. From that point I had 3 more months with her living in the same city. Those 3 months were amazing. We had our disagreements as all couples do but we always ended up fine. Then came the day she had to leave. Everyone on this forum will probably know the feeling you get when your SO leaves for the 1st time. I went with her to the train station, said our goodbyes and she left. I know a lot of people say its the hardest thing they've had to do and I never believed them... until that day. I remember walking away from her and getting on the bus back to my house. My eyes were filling with water, I must have looked a right idiot. I didn't have a clue what I was getting myself into; all I knew is that I had this really amazing feeling. That feeling for those who haven't guessed was love. I've been in relationships before but I've never had this feeling. I've enjoyed the company of my ex's, I even thought I loved one of them. But I never, only now do I know what love is. So the next time I went to visit her I told her I loved her, and she said it back. To know that someone you love truly loves you back is the best feeling in the world. We see each other every couple of weeks and it's great. She's just got a job which is quite a bit further away than the 2 hours I'm used to but I literally couldn't care. I'd travel to the opposite end of the world to see her. I still get upset when we leave each other. The last time she left I broke down and cried like a 6 year old girl who has just been denied an ice cream. But that's a good thing. That shows me that I do actually really love this woman. I just want to thank those who said it wouldn't be impossible. I'm so glad I'm not sitting here typing wondering what could have been. I hope that in another 5 month I am as happy as I am now but only time will tell. Good luck to all those out there in the same situation as me.

SirBaron Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 Very heart warming thread <3. I am the same, when I see my girlfriend go back home, or if I go back home, depending on who visits, I break down crying too. Leaving her until we see each other again is one of the hardest things for me to cope with, a lot of the times I manage to put on a brave face, but deep down I'm crying inside, but not every time, sometimes I just end up crying infront of her as we're about to leave. I just love her so much, and hate leaving my gorgeous angel.
lordWilhelm Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 It's such a bittersweet feeling to be together for a short time when you're far apart in distance. I find that it really helps to have something to look forward to -- if the separation is limited in time, whether that is one year or just a few months, then that's something that brings a lot of hope. Hopefully you guys can set a sort of action plan in getting back together and all this separation will only have made the RS stronger.
