Going the distance. Can love become friendship?

Tagged as: Breaking up, Faded love, Long distance<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (14 July 2014) 2 Answers - (Newest, 14 July 2014)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Our 3-month relationship has been going great. It's been rather serious, too — given that I've met his mother on several occasions, such as dinner and coffee. But in a month I will go to France on exchange and he will go to England for Masters.

We discussed this, and we both don't think a long distance relationship is feasible. He broke up with his ex because of long distance, and I'm afraid if we try it, it might not end well.

We're considering to "build off" the relationship and become friends instead. Is this workable? We thought we could probably decrease the touching and physical side and try to chat more, help each other with academic pursuits, etc.

So_Very_Confused agony auntit's really hard to go from lovers to friends because of distance...

I doubt you will feel great the first time you realize that he's set his eye on a new girl.... and the same goes for him....

I would think that leaving it the way it is but saying that you are now free to date others is the better way to go.. or to just break up and wish each other well and move on....

I think if you are both not jealous types then it can be feasible to become friends. And without one of you holding too much hope of rekindling in the future, it will be successful. And then, when/if you both return to your country - maybe things will work out for you then?
