SwimmerUSA Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 I dated the best man I've ever met. I hoped to marry him but we broke up due to long distance. I live in the west coast, he lives in the east coast. We both have careers that we love and one of us has to make a sacrifice and move to be with the other. I am the one who would have the easiest time moving since my career is more flexible. However, I've decided that I love my job, my life and my city and we decided to call it quits. I'd like to think I can fall in love again but I know I'm giving up the best partner/boyfriend/friend I have known. Has anyone been in this position before? How do you get over someone like this? or do you give up everything and sacrifice for love?
Author SwimmerUSA Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 We were together for two years, half of which was long distance.
Yeahsussu Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I´ve been in your shoes. I dated a man who I could see my future with, that i wanted to marry. But we lived in opposite sides of the world. We were together for 2,5 years (1,5 of which was long distance). I would´ve been prepared to relocate to his country, but he´s got another job coming up, in another part of the country, and rekons he can´t be in a relationship at this point. And due to my visa ending I had to go back home (was living with him for a year), and he couldn´t go through LDR again. So that was it..
betterdeal Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Think of it as the best partner you've had so far. He'll find someone else, as will you. Be happy it happened not sad it ended.
fiat500 Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 at least you had an amicable and respectful split . there will always be good memories and good feelings.
Author SwimmerUSA Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 Thank you all for your input. Betterdeal- that's a great way to think of it. Thanks =)
