About six months ago I met an incredible girl. We started dating right away, and things were great. Except the fact that she's a freshman and I'm a senior in college.
The pressures of finding a job, graduating on time, and making the next big step to "the real world" were taking a toll on me, and I wasn't treating her well, nor was I able to focus on the relationship.
I thought things through, we talked, and I ended up breaking up with her. I still think of her so damn much, but I know that we are just at different stages in our life, and it isn't fair to either of us.
It's been such a tough few weeks since the break up because I know we are very compatible and have many of the same goals. We respect each others boundaries, and our friends enjoy being with us (some of the things you've talked about in this AMA). The only big issue is that she's just now starting a 4 year journey, and I'm just about to end my 4-year journey in college. I know a long distance relationship wouldn't work.
I keep thinking that maybe in a few years we will see each other and things could work out. Have you ever seen anything like that happen? What are your thoughts on long distance relationships and the pressures that come along with them, especially between two young adults. Thank you!
