Long distance relationships.

Long distance relationships just don't work. Take my situation, my significant other lives seven traffic lights away from me. It's too far, he needs to move in before the end of this year!

Girl for you, or not girl for you? (yes.....bored where I am in middle of nowhere) :)

Funny you mention this now MikeD. I'm single, and happy to be so. The broom rider decided to get arrested for a DUI hit and run in my car. Her BAC was reported at .28. My car is wrecked. She is in jail, looking at a rather lengthy sentence.

Thank you for your input. I agree this is much less than ideal conditions. At this point I am not trying to dissolve my relationship. How I arrived at this point is irrelevant. Not everyone has a cookie cutter evolution. However I am trying to maintain some sort of stasis.

I would say it's VERY relevant. You're where you are now, geographically speaking, because you made the choice to go there. I've no problem with that. But when one engages to be married, it indicates that they are putting their commited relationship at a higher priority than every other thing in their life. However, by moving to whereever you are, the message you are sending is that there are things more important than her. I'm not surprised the communications are becoming a bit strained.

With regard to your "cookie cutter" comment, I agree. But marriage is a choice for those who are willing and able to fully commit to it. Clearly, neither you nor your significant other are at that point in your lives. I urge to to consider the situation through that filter. I wish you well.

My situation turned into a self solving problem. I'll agree with what you were saying in regards to the future. But I'm flying solo for the time being.
