Ghisop Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 Seven more months (sparked with visits in between) and the distance is over forever! I am quitting my job and moving across country for good. I met him right as i got hired for a great job... I wasnt sure at the time he was "the one" I've had a successful career and always put that first - so I'm a little nervous. I feel like if I didn't do this then I would always wonder. I do really love this guy and he is perfect. He def is the one He surprised me this weekend and bought me a plane ticket to visit. But I can't help but be nervous that I am taking this huge risk. So what I was hoping to hear would be some positive stories anyone could share. Trust me I have heard all the bad stories about long distance and had a bad one myself in the past. Anyone got some positivity to throw at me : )
Patrice Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 You love him, he loves you .. you have a great job coming and new experiences ... look forward, not behind and stifle that fear
wildgeese Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 7 more months is nothing! There are certainly success stories from this board, maybe not as many as the unsuccessful stories, but that's how most relationships are (long distance or not!). I am getting ready to make the move to be with my partner who is currently 9 hours away. Not quite across the country, but Texas is big enough to make it feel like that. I know there are others on LS who are in the same position and others who just moved. It's amazing! And so wonderful to hear. Yesterday I had a huge meltdown about how much I was "giving up" for my partner, but after him letting me freak out and calmly talking to me about everything, I realized that nothing I am giving up here is as big and life-altering as it would be to give up him. Building our life together is so much more important to me, and to him, than what's here. It's a huge risk, but you're taking it together and you're starting something wonderful. It's worth it!
Author Ghisop Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 Oh I have had the same meltdowns! What if I move there and can't find a job and I am penniless and all that stuff. I'll be moving to vegas and I don't dance well enough to be a show girl : ) I'm starting to troll the job adds and I thought might as well start now! you are right - giving up him is way worse then this job. Plus im in my 30s- not a spring chicken anymore! Lol
