A while back, I posted on here about how I was feeling lost in my long-distance relationship. Since then, more time has passed, and honestly, I still feel lost.
We’re still doing long distance, but I’m starting to feel like I can’t handle it anymore. She just came back into town after six weeks of not seeing each other, and she’s leaving again in another week for about eight weeks of school. I know eight weeks might not sound like a long time, but I might be traveling with my family this summer right when she gets back, which means we’d go even longer without seeing each other. After that, the school semester starts again, and we’re right back into long distance.
On top of all that, I’ve been dealing with a lot of stress from family, school, and work, and I think that’s been making everything feel heavier. It’s hard to tell what’s coming from the relationship itself and what’s just everything else going on in my life.
The thing is, I feel genuinely happy when I’m with her. But when she’s gone and it’s just me, I don’t feel happy with my life at all. That’s what’s making this so confusing.
Part of me feels like it might actually be better to end things so I can focus on figuring out my life especially with everything going on with school, family, and work. I’m still young, and I feel like I need time and space to get myself together.
I don’t know if I should just stick it out or end things. I know breaking up would hurt both of us, especially because she seems really happy, but I also feel kind of stuck and lost, and I don’t know what the right move is.
