Here is the run down. This is the longest and first serious relationship I’ve had in my life of 5 months. The relationship has been awesome for the most part and the sex was righteous.
The problem is she was a foreign exchange student and she recently left a few weeks ago to go back to her home country which is all the way across the world from me (19 hour flight) I’ve been trying the long-distance relationship with her but I’m starting to grasp the reality that with our circumstances right now we aren’t going to be able to stay committed to this relationship. I was trying to work out some kind of way of being able to see each other permanently but it doesn’t seem likely to happen anytime soon even if she did decide she would like to move here in the U.S. If we stay together we are likely to only see each other once a year.
I try to keep myself busy like currently taking summer classes, outdoor hobby, and started working out again, but I still feel myself drifting into this hole of depression. I am unhappy with the decision I have to make and angry that the relationship has to end like this. She meant a lot to me and the day she left it was like I went to my first funeral. I’m not ready to let her go and break it off, but I know it’s the best choice for me and probably her too.
Well, I’d like some insight from the mature people who have gone through similar situations like this and how you got back up on your feet again after you ended the relationship. I don’t want to continue falling into this void of depression and I want to find ways to escape from it.
