longdistance problems
Hey. I'm in a relativly new long-distance relationship. He is 8 years older than me (I'm 20). He dropped 'the L-bomb' (as I have seen it referred to here) the second night. He talks about the future an immense amount. He's got the next 4 years planned. I can talk to him about everything and we have discussed his use of the word 'love' and his reasons for planning but b/c he likes me to such an extreme extent more than I like him it's making the whole thing kind of lop-sided and I don't know if it's healthy for either one of us. I'm not saying I don't like him - b/c I do - it's just he is so much more intense with the feelings. A lot of this has to do with the fact that he's 28. One of the reason he plans so much is that it'll be 3 or 4 years until we are living in the same place (b/c of my school and my comfort level). There was some random talk about him moving out to where I live but I think it's been decided that that is a bad idea. I am not comfortable having sex with him and the timeline for that activity is 4 years. He says that if it's not a problem for him now it won't become one. Is that realistic? I don't know. I don't know really what the point of this random post is - but if you can help or offer any advice that would be appreciated. Thanks.
