Whipple Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I'm moving away soon for school, which led my boyfriend and I to have a discussion about having an LDR. His schedule is kind of weird and inconsistent so we're unable to plan out exact logistics such as how often we'll see each other, which weekends, etc. He said that these things are best figured out once we're apart and see how our schedules coincide. I told him that I agreed but I wanted to hear from him specifically that he wants to at least try an LDR and see how it goes. He said yes. He sounded sort of pessimistic in our conversation but he did say that that an LDR is something a lot of people have to do these days and talked about one of his friends that's in one so at least he has a role model, so to speak. I should be satisfied with this conversation, but I'm not. I'm disappointed because there's no certainty, which is ridiculous because nothing in life is certain. Even if I wasn't moving, there would still be uncertainty. Maybe I wanted him to say "We will definitely stay together no matter what." My brain tells me that's crap because even if he did say that, there's no telling what would happen. None of us are fortune tellers. I should just be happy that he's at least willing to give it a try and take it day by day. But I still feel bad, anxious, disappointed, etc. I admit that I can be a control freak and maybe that's why I feel so upset. Any advice?
