it's all in the title.

serious relationship... 2years+ish.....


(UPDATE)

ok here's some more info. Yes, I am 'in love' 'love her' whatever you want to call it. BUT, what is happening is we see each other so rarely that we CRAM in everything that has to do with being 'boyfriend girlfriend'. It's also like we both go WAY out of our way to see each other.. which I know "If you really love each other etc. etc. etc." but life simply doesn't work that way. I work 50+hrs a week now, and go to school 15hrs a week. She works 30 hours a week (not 9-5 though.. she works some weekend days) and has about 18 or 19 hours of school. It resulted in simply not enough time together.


I sat down and basically told her how I felt. I honestly feel like we are 'destined' to be together. I love her, I know she loves me, etc. but we simply argue too much do to that lack of seeing each other. Rather than waiting for a huge monumental breakup, I'd rather just end it now and be friends.. then in the future when we DO have time for each other, we won't be so used to 'rushing' everything and end up fighting

Tell her what you are thinking. That's what people in relationships do, don't they?

Just be honest about it all, and when your talking about it one of two things will happen either she will find out whats wrong and you will go your seperate ways, or you may be convinced to stay and everything will go fine.

Yeah, she at least deserves that. Don't leave the poor girl wondering what went wrong.

it's just the long distance thing. i love her... i care about her more than anything... but seeing her every couple weeks just isn't working out

If you really love her, you could see past the long distance aspect of the relationship.

Whats the circumstance? Different colleges, or what? Is it possible one of you two could move and fix the whole thing?

No possibility of you working where she goes to college?

no. I have a good job but no degree. unless I want to work at best buy or some junk (like many others, I have no parents for support... so I have no 'fallback')

Well the relationship working wouldn't be bad and that seems to be the only possibility of it right now. But yea I could see bad things arising if it doesn't work out.
