hello,

my boyfriend and i are parting. He is moving away soon for a job he wants to get, and I can't finish school until a semester later.

I hate him, I think. If that makes any sense. I told him I wouldn't do a long distance relationship last night, and he held me, told me he loved me, but that he understood.

I am angry because he won't work through it, but then again, I don't know if I want to work through it either. I am moving out in about a month, and I wnat to learn how to let go.

We can't have everything I guess.

Hi and welcome,


So you wanted him to what, not get the job he's been wanting?

Well, if it's not that hard for either one of you to let go, then I guess you should find somone who would not be able to think about you away from him, and vice versa.

If you can't hold out for 3 months and be in a long distance relationship, then you don't want it badly enough. My BF and

You see, it's not that I am willing to wait. I am. It's just that he isn't worth the wait, and I have finally come to terms with that. He always tells me things like he is his first priority. And, I am sorry to say, but this job isn't anything different from the one he has. He will be making the same amount of money, doing the same thing, except in a completely different state. This is exactly what he did to his last girlfriend when he got tired of the relationship, he packed away and moved.

I would hold out for a semester for someone who could give me the option, or even an abstract sketch of what our future could be. But without that, all my efforts are futile.

Ah, now I see. This is a completely different feeling than the one you originally posted, so you can understand where the responses were coming from.

If you don't think it's worth your effort, then that's all that really makes any kind of difference.
