iPhone Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 So here's the story. I'm dating a girl who lives about an hour away. We've been dating for about 2 months. We used to see each other Saturday and Sunday pretty regularly, sometimes just one day. Well, she began her externship and summer class last week, and it is straining things. Every week day pretty much from 8am to 8pm she goes to the externship and/or class. She was at my house a bit before the externship began, and started crying, saying she was afraid she was pushing me away and she said she was telling me this because she wanted me to not let her push me away. Well, she breaks down crying saying how she has no "me" time because of all this stuff and how it's going to get worse with the externship.. but the whole time she is holding onto me and cuddling. She expressed her concerns about having no time. After she's all done crying, she kept apologizing, and said she felt better now. She kept holding me. She was smiling then, and kept saying she felt better, and every now and then she just has a breakdown. Well, now the externship began and we still text, but less... however she will still give kissy faces and such... Now we see each other 1 day a week.. The externship is only for 7 more weeks, but here's the problem I don't want her to lose interest from seeing each other so little But I don't want to push to see each other more because she already is overloaded. What can I do at this point? Just be confident and support her? I told her on the phone today how I knew it would be rough, time wise, with her externship, but stick with me and I'll stick with you, it'll be over in no time. She giggled a bit and said okay. What do you guys think? What should I do? This is literally eating me up. Although we've been official 2 months, we've been dating for 3.
Frank2thepoint Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Externships can be really tough and demanding. But it is for only seven weeks, not seven years. I think you should be patient and supportive. Don't try to see her the entire weekend, see her for a few hours on one day of the weekend. Give her "me" time she needs to focus on her demanding schedule. Before you know it, the seven weeks will fly by and you guys will be stronger together.
Assasda Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 What the hell is eating you up man? Just do your thing, it seems like you really dont need any advice about this. Pick up a new hobby and do your own thing, she'll respect you more for it
