Mattcat Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 My girlfriend has been getting more and more... 'choked' about the distance part of our relationship. We talk every day for a minimum of 4 hours. We live on opposite corners of the U.S., and there is quite a bit of difference. We are under the age of 18, and luckily our parents have indulged the both of us enough to allow myself to go and visit her for periods of time (One such visit has happened before, and I am poised to go again for a week over our mutual thanksgiving break). Now, what scares me is recently (*last few days) she has been telling me about the pain of the distance. Obviously it's there, but she seems to prefer to focus on it and it scares me. She describes to me exactly what I feel (pain-wise), but I am at a loss as to how to relate to her how to deal with it. I know i can deal with it, I get pangs of missing her and stuff like that, but I always manage to get a 'feeling' of her being 'with' me (if that makes any sense to anyone) and it calms me, and I'm able to focus wholely on the time I get to spend with her rather than the time I don't. I don't know how to tactfully tell her the same thing. =\ Can anyone help? The relationship, by the way, has been working for the last 3 months as long-distance. We are very open with each other, and we are very similar in many, many ways. We trust each other with our lives. Just some background information.
