Do long distance relationships work? ? lifeinthefarcelane

Mr New and?I had our??serious discussion? yesterday evening .. it ended with me in tears and him looking angry (and maybe a little sad) as he walked out my apartment door ..

And you all wonder why I am unconvinced about this whole love thing or more to the point ? with my chances at ever finding a man who will stay around?!?

*sigh*

Tis fair to say I am in danger of being ever-so-slightly melodramatic today, cos this ?discussion? has really thrown me. It?s not as bad as it could be, I suppose. He doesn?t have (nor want!) 14 kids..

Instead, Mr New has taken a job overseas. Okay that isn?t 100% accurate: he?s going overseas for his work .. For at least 6 months. Maybe longer .. Definitely no less than 6 months ..Yes, I asked lol

And so I am here thinking ?now what???His thinking is we do the long distance thing.

My thinking is ?why the $#@! can?t I keep a man?!?
*grins*

Okay okay, I know it?s not as bad as all that but .. long distance relationships .. really?

Oh and the reason he left in a huff was because I pretty much accused him of having an affair with some hot European chick as soon as he got there (ah shaddup, I was shocked and acting ever so slightly pissy!)

Actually he left because we were going ?round in circles with the discussion and I suggested he go .. Call it tactical: it was to prevent me saying dumb shit I?d later regret. Cos I was so not thinking with a logical brain, once he delivered his news!

Worst of all? I forgot to even say congratulations, cos it?s basically a promotion .. so that felt pretty bad. I sent a text offering my congrats and such after he left .. bit late then huh

If you will excuse me, I?m off to sink into a deep depression whilst out running into the sunrise (just to be different!) .. The best thing about running? Leaves you so tired you have no capacity to do anything, including send whiny texts
