The Long Distance Relationship Society Advice Centre Mark II

Since July?! That's pretty hardcore. What's the distance between you guys? You'll be so happy when you see him again

It's 6 hours on the train, though I'm not too sure how many miles it is or anything like that. York to Exeter must be something like 300 miles though, haha. (I just Googled it - 300 miles. )

I feel your pain! I'm Bristol to Hull and I think that's hard enough! Out of interest why do you see eachother so little, is it because of money issues, busy Uni/work shedules?

Saw my Bf on the weekend after 3 weeks. It was really nice to see him. (yet weird cos he's at uni and this situation is so new to us both). We had a talk about us because he has doubts... I don't blame him as a LDR is something you need to be 100% sure about. I had doubts a few weeks ago but now I just have to get over it and just stop complaining. It made me really upset he had these doubts - but he still wants to try and work this out. His main concern is that he wants me to be happy - and he feels that he's too busy too talk to me which will result me in being upset. But I understand he's busy but recently we've been arguing loads (over petty stuff) and its frustrating us both.

One quick question - is it weird if it annoys me that he checks his phone and doesn't answer my message? even hours later.. no reply, despite him being on his phone a few times throughout these few hours. I understand he might read it whilst being busy - but surely if you're that busy you wouldn't check your phone at all? Or am I just overthinking? Thanks

I'm Leeds to Brighton, I think it's around 250 miles. It's 4 hours on the train, but I really like train journeys for some reason

Just said goodbye to my boyfriend and the goodbyes never really get any easier.

I usually lurk on this thread, but I'm having one of those days..

I am really missing my bf. We've not seen each other for months in the past but I now find being away from him for just a week so painfully difficult. I last saw him 4 weeks ago and I don't think I'll be seeing him for a while as we're both very busy. Sighhhh.

Why does it not get any easier?! It just seems to get harder and harder as time goes on

Try to focus on all of the things you're doing that are keeping you busy. I'm just chucking myself into my work which helps to take my mind off of missing him (and is probably beneficial to by studies too!) Maybe try and set a date when you can see each other or plan something nice to do in the Christmas holidays as having something concrete to look forward to helps.

I miss him so much.
Its been 2 weeks since we've broken up... I just want him back. I love him so much, i've lost my best friend and my boyfriend and everything is so ****.

Hey guys,

I don't know if I qualify being on this thread - my boyfriend is 1/1.5 hours away and I know most of you are far further so I recognise it may not count! but to me it feels long distance :P

Hadn't read the thread for ages but now I've just caught up on like 10 pages of posts and it is just so reassuring to know that other people are going through the same things and feelings :O I've actually been really surprised by coming to uni at how many people are in LDR's or at least in relationships with someone not at our uni. And of course this thread is so good!

I just wanted to say thanks to you all for making this process so much easier and feeling like I'm not alone in this!
