Question Posted Wednesday December 16 2009, 12:42 pm
I am 25 and have been in a relationship for two and half years. I recently told my girlfriend that I would be leaving for a week on a trip with my parents. She has a big test to give while I'm gone. This has led to her getting very upset with me and I believe she is now deciding on whether she wants to continue a relationship with me or not. I feel sad/awful/confused. I don't know what to do...

She should let you have a trip with your parents, otherwise, she is being very selfish.Its perfectly normal to feel the way you feel because you love her so much. If I were you, I would tell her that it would only be for a week and that you guys can talk online, etc. If you want this relationship to last, she is going to have to deal with you going out of town, even if its just for a week with you're parents. If you two end up getting married, there is going to be a lot of traveling due to business, etc. So I guess it is great to start practicing now. Get me?

You're 25. You're a damned adult, act like it. Talk to her, ask her whats up. If there is actually a serious threat to the relationship you're not going to figure it out here, or by feeling sorry for yourself alone. You've been with her two and a half years and you can't go and communicate with her about whats going on? I don't know whether youre blowing things out of proportion or hiding from relationship issues. Either way, cut it out. [ WittyUsernameHere's advice column | Ask WittyUsernameHere A Question ]

And she is just stressin over the test and you leaving doesn't help but I honestly don't believe she would leave you over that. That would be a ridiculous reason to break up with you. So don't worry. Just call her and make her know you love her everyday, And maybe do something sweet like buy her some stuff from the trip. Just letting you know you love her is enough :] [ Sublimation4all's advice column | Ask Sublimation4all A Question ]
