Question Posted Tuesday September 23 2008, 12:08 am
I'm 16 and I've been going out with this guy for three months. We met during the summer and I was doubtful that things would continue into the school year because we go to cross town rival high schools. He is different than any guy I've ever met. He isn't much into texting, just a couple of texts a day, but he calls me every night. Recently he got sick and he found out he has mono. He hasn't been able to go to school and I haven't been able to see him. It's driving me crazy, because I like him so much! For about the past week he has acted uninterested in me. He hasn't called as much, but when he does, its like old times. Should I just assume this has to do with him being sick, or should I worry that this time apart has hurt us? I don't want to break up with him, even if I did, I wouldn't do it until I could see him and break up face to face. Should I ask him what's going on? Should I just wait until he is better and see what happens? Thanks for any help!

Maybe you should wait until he's feeling a little better before you assess your feelings. I really don't think that the whole "uninterested" thing is something to worry about.
So for right now, just call him up a few times a week to ask how he's feeling. He might only feel up to talking for a couple of minutes, but that's alright. And if he doesn't call you, I'd say it's safe to blame it on the mono.
When he does get better though, and his attitude about the relationship hasn't gotten better, then yeah, breaking up is the way to go. Long distance relationships are never completely easy, but don't feel bad if you have to end it if it's just not working out.
