Long Distance Problem

by love dinh
(Manhattan , NY)

I’ve been going out with this guy for quite a while... One day he told me he had to go to another state to work . I tried to convince him to stay, but then felt I shouldn't do that to him. He needed to go there and work. His family lives there too.

I thought long distance was going to work but sometimes I feel like I should just let go. This long distance relationship is not going anywhere.
I’ve asked him so many times when is he going to settle down and he always answers me, "I don't know." I was fine with that because neither of us is ready to settle yet. One day he told me he can’t do this anymore... I tried to fix this, but then I have to respect him so I decided to let go...

I would have never thought this would kill me so much. I’m the type of girl that doesn't look forward to love that much. Now my life is horrible. I can't focus on anything. If he said he had cheated on me, then I’d definitely let go. This long distance relationship... It’s not fair.

Recently, my friend and her ex got back together and in my head it’s like, “You’re lucky because he is near you there's still a chance.” But what can I do?? Nothing... there's no chance at all. I know he had feelings for me, it’s just this long distance is just not going well for us. I really don't know what to do.

...btw this is my first relationship

It’s really killing me. I hope you guys out there feel me.
