A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

As a sophomore in high school I started going out with a guy who became my best friend. We were together until Junior year when he broke up with me during the summer. I had 2 boyfriends in the time period in which we weren't together but they never worked out because I still had feelings for him. We got back together senior year and then he broke up with me again at the end of the year because he was moving to Texas and I got another boyfriend just a month after, which I broke up with because I wasn't ready for a relationship. Then four months ago I met someone who I grew to love. He treated me better than anyone else and appreciated me more. I still had feelings for my first ex boyfriend but they were going away and I had hope that I could get over him. We always talked a few times a week on the phone and I started talking to him less and less, until a week ago he told me that he loved me and the feeling that I love him rose again. I broke up with my current boyfriend because I can't love him with all of my heart, and I live seven hours away from my old one but I still have hope. I feel like I can't give him up because he is my best friend and I still love him, and all throughout this time I haven't actually been able to confront about giving him up because we still talk and don't want to hurt each other. I don't know what to do anymore.

Ok.. well i have had long distance relationships, that unfortunatly have only lasted for months. The reason for this is because of lack of connection. For Ex., seeing each other was a huge minus, that led to other temptations on both ends. There is also the fact that you cant talk to that person as much as you would want to possibly. And every one of them has said that they loved me, but do they really? That 3 letter phrase is often taken super lightly. *But.. if you have transportation to see each other, and you truly do love each other.. i suggest that you guys get to know each other more and eventually or sooner it could be something good =) and also.. just because you dont go out with him, dosnt mean that you wouldnt be there for him, good luck hun
