Sorry For The Delay

I had a long talk with my ex and I felt that she shouldn't have to wait for me to come around and sacrifice her future. So she's leaving and going back home to her new job which I hope is successful. I've expressed my interest in getting back together and so has she but I think it would be selfish for me to have her stay. We've considered having a long distance relationship where we have social dates with other people. We are able to visit each other on weekends. Well, I don't know. I've never had a long distance relationship before but it doesn't look like I'm going to like it. Any advice?

You'll never know until you try.

Sometimes distance can be good. It'll help both of you see if it's worth the work or not and if there is a future in it for both of you.

Nothing worth having is easy.

I think dating socially or whatever is a good thing. There seems to be a lot left to your relationship. Best of luck with all of that.

YAy you are back! See you are missed. I actually thought the chic in that photo may have put the voodoo on you. Glad that was not the case.

Distance can be good, but I'm afraid the distance in the long run usually peters out. It's the day to day time with that person that makes a relationship. The weekend thing there is just not enough time to build. Although knowing that you have a foundation already is good. So, give it a chance and see what develops. May be good for the both of you.

As long as down the road you both know that at some point you've got to come together again or let go.

And at least you are realistic about it! Instead of sitting there saying "oh we don't need to date other people" you guys are going to date. And that's healthy. Because realistically, y'all are going to go out with other people. As long as you keep the long distance relationship to yourselves when and until there seems to be someone who becomes more special. Then, decisions to make.

I don't think the distance thing will be as bad if you are also dating others.

Oh and hey my Monday was cool!

Long Distance sucks....it's never easy but if you are true and 100% sure you can trust the other person and the communication is top-notch it can otherwise..
