I, for one, can attest that long distance relationships CAN work. My hubby and I started dating during my senior year of high school. I went to NY for school (about 4 hours away) and we kept up our relationship. Fast forward a few years after I graduated and we were separated again-- he served a year and a half in Iraq. Long distance relationships ARE possible. They are a lot of work and committment and you need to be sure you really want to do it but they can be totally worth it in the end. Just be sure to be open and honest at all times.
As far as him not asking you to move with him, if it were me I know I would probably consider that by not asking it meant that he didn't want me there BUT maybe he knows how much of a sacrifice this would be for you to make and therefore he is nervous to ask or would feel guilty for asking you to move with him. Just like you wouldn't want him to resent you for asking him to stay maybe he doesn't want you to resent him for asking you to come.
You need to talk to your BF about this and be really honest about your feelings.
Good luck and keep us posted! |
