Question Posted Saturday September 18 2004, 9:35 pm
Me and this guy I’m dating are doing really good. The only problem is… is that it’s a long distance relationship. I love him so much, I get so see him from time to time and I talk to him on the phone and computer almost all the time. When I’m with him, it’s like I never want to leave him, and if I could I wouldn’t leave him. Every time I come back home and see people at my school walking around with they’re boyfriends and girlfriends and they look happy and I always feel like crap. I don’t know what I should do. I’ve thought a few times about running away to go stay somewhere that’s close to him but I would probably get my butt kicked. I guess all I want to know is what I should do about all of this… should I leave him and find someone closer to me, or what, I’m just so confused. Please help if you can.

I can totally relate to how you feel...lucky you lol I have been in a long distance relationship for over a year...and in a relationship for over two...(I met my guy before I moved like 2 years before, and started datin him a year before I moved). There have been many a times before, when I felt just as you do. My boyfriend and I would like to get married...and I'm supposed to be going back in less than a year to finish my last year of high school there with him. We feel like the distance and time away is the ultimate test, to see if we really love each other that much to pass it. We're almost through it too =). Yes everytime we see each other, it is so painful to let go again, but we anticipate the next time even more. I have thought about running away, but I know I can't...It will all soon pass. You'll have rough spots and smooth spots...and it forms a better emotional connection between the two people.
All I can tell you is, from personal experience, if you feel that this relationship is worth the wait, and you don't wanna be broken up, then be with him. Think of this as the ultimate test and God's testing you to see if you love each other that much to pass it. If you feel like you need more than that, like a guy who is closer to you, then talk to your boyfriend, don't cheat on him, and don't lead him on...it only makes it worse. You'll feel much better after you talk to him about the way you feel, because maybe you guys can do something to fix that feeling. Communication is the key to any relationship, especially long distance ones because they are more fragile. After you talk to him and if you break up, you may feel crappy at first but time heals all wounds. Just follow your heart hun. =) If you love each other, then you guys can do this.
