Guest Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I've been in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend for approx. 6 months. The distance isn't too bad, we live 80 miles apart (it's like a 70-90 min drive) because we go to different universities. We get to see each other at least once or twice a month on the weekends. We see each other more when there are breaks and holidays. When it's a weekend that we aren't together, we call each other on the phone. During the weekdays, we send emails. So the communication is there and it's good. We're both busy people with jobs and school. I do my best to keep busy but I really miss him sometimes. There are times when I feel really down in the dumps. I really wish we were physically together. We're both graduating from our universities this spring and we're trying our best to move to the same city so we won't have to deal with long distance anymore. But there's a possibility that it won't happen and that we'll be apart. I'm really scared. Our relationship so far has been extremely wonderful and sometimes I feel like I'm waiting for something bad to happen, because nothing that could damage our relationship has occurred yet. Maybe I'm too used to disappointment and that's why I feel like I'm waiting for it. I'm worried that one day he's going to get sick of it all. I'm really enjoying the relationship and I love him so much but sometimes I'm really sad deep down if we have to stay apart for an even longer time. I just want to be happy.
thatmatt Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I think you guys have a great chance. I say that because it sounds like you have a great balance of school, work, and the relationship. I'm assuming he shares similar feelings about missing you, and has his down in the dumps days? He might not show it much, but if it's really there, you guys are doing a great job of not smothering each other. How long were you together before long distance? You said everything has been wonderful, with really no fighting or anything. Have you guys spent large amounts of time with each other, like living together, or just seeing each other everyday? It may seem soon, but it's a good idea and will give you some peace of mind if you guys have talked about post graduation plans. Sure, there's always a lot of chance involved, but at the same time, I think planning out how your relationship will function post-graduation will give you both a great idea of what committments and compromises will have to happen, and you won't be wondering so much if and when the disappointment is going to creep up on you. I wish you the best of luck, keep us posted!!!
