A long distance (131 miles one way) broke up my seven year relationship. We saw each other almost every weekend and talked on the phone EVERY night...if one of us couldn't talk for the night, we would call the other person just to tell them that.....Anyway, the distance just started to take it's toll on us. I was meeting new friends at school and he was doing the same at his. At night we would talk on the phone and tell each other about the things we were up to with these new friends, but neither of us new them personally so we couldn't relate to each others stories...in other words, we were growing apart.
One night he called me up and asked about my opinion on maybe taking a break from each other. It seemed weird since we were practically taking a break from each other already (during the week) I slept on it and two days later he cut ties with me over the phone.....SEVEN F-CKING YEARS ended over the telephone!!! It has been almost two years now and I have not seen or heard from him since. That makes you kind or reevaluate what kind of relationship you were in...what kind of person...who out of the blue throws you away like a piece of garbage, when just the week before was perfectly normal. He has never come crawling back to me and I haven't done the same. It's like the wind came, picked him up and blew him away. *Sigh*
I'm in a new relationship...(six months and going strong) Next week we go on a trip fro nine days to Jamaica...(That he paid for!) But things in our future are not looking that great, since he is now graduating in May and I still have another year or two at school. He has never done the long distance thing and I have. I have been with this guy for six months and I'm affraid that if a seven year relationship couldn't make it, how can this one?
I. Hate. Long. Distance. Relationships.
