PLEASE HELP, long-distance relationship :(

I have been in a long-distance relationship for 9 months now and it has been so hard. He was supposed to see me last weekend but his Dad didn’t buy the tickets. Anyways, I am so in love with him and Im so scared to lose him. Im extremly afraid of being alone. Everytime I think about being without, it brings me to tears.

But we fight everyday about stupid things. He’s too worried about his pride. Ill hang up on him, and he won’t call back. He used to call back, and now he says he’s never going to call me back after I hang up. But I always will call him back if he hangs up on me! It’s like everything in our relationship isn’t fair. He treats me differently than I treat him.

He can’t control his anger. He’ll get mad and I try to calm him down, but nothing works. While he’s angry, he says really hurtful things. But he doesn’t realize how much they hurt. He doesn’t believe that words can really mess up someone.

I don’t want to say Im depressed, because I am happy sometimes and I like being with friends when Im at school, but when I get home it’s a totally different situation. I cut myself off from everyone and all I want to do is talk to him. My mood revolves around him. Everything has to be perfect between him and I, or I get basically phyco. When my mom tries to talk to me and tell me to calm down, I just scream at her.

Ive found myself crying alot lately. I don’t know what to do anymore. I love him so much, and I know he loves me… but Im so worried that we’re going to break up and Im going to be alone. I live in Georgia… and I hate it. There are no guys like him here. I feel like if we break up, Ill never find someone that makes me feel like he does. Like, Ill never get over him. Maybe that’s me being niave, but I honestly believe it.

I don’t know what exactly my problem is. He basically has emotionally abused me. Lately he hasn’t been doing this though, but sometimes he would just call me names out of no where or say something kind of mean. I try to tell him how much it hurts me, but he doesn’t see how it does. No matter what I say, he doesn’t get it. I tell him that if he really cared about me and loved me, he wouldn’t treat me the way he does.

I know that our relationship isn’t heathly. He makes me depressed and sad all of the time. But like I said, I feel like if I let him go, Ill never have someone like him again.

Ive been making this relationship look 100% bad, and it’s not. He makes me so happy and I laugh constantly when I talk to him. He calls me names like “cutie”, and “babycakes”, and I absolutly love it. He’s the most romantic guy I know and we tell each other we’ll always love eachother and be with eachother. These things make me kind of forget about the bad parts… which isn’t something I should do.

Im never truly happy anymore when Im not talking to him. Im constantly thinking about him and our relationship.

Please give me some advice?

sounds like you are not doing urself any favours by wishing to stay with him. If i were u id leave him. this guy isn;t worth ur time, and he certainly isn;t what u wish him to be.

It will work my friend. Just believe and have a lil more patient If this guy is going to come truly he will come and you guys will have a wonderful time that you can never imagine. Pls, pls and pls try hard to worry less about your likely break up with him. It doesn’t do you any good ok. And if you want to help yourself you could talk to him on how you feel and that is… Try talking him into sharing his fears about you guys relationship and then tell him your own fears.I think the reason you guys fight a lot could be that you talk a lot everyday… Atleast if is possible to give some time out once in a while prolly with the excuse of you having a project to do at school that could add some vitality to your relationship in the way of knowing how much you missed each other. If you truly love him, do not give up… being very patient and do not let the love tag so much on your heart ok. Work more on how you guys can meet to make the whole thing a reality and see how it can work from there. I know you might be emotionally scarred but is all the sacrifice you give for what you believe in. Please always focus on the positive outlook and you will see how much you guys will last together. I wish you all the best and God bless!

I try to talk to him, but I have to be really careful that I don’t make him angry in the process. Most of the time he tells me that he’ll work on it, and he’s doing better.. but that’s only when he’s not angry. Like, me talking about my feelings with him just makes him angry most of the time because he “has heard it over and over”. I try to explain to him that I wouldn’t tell him I how felt and what bothered me over and over if he would just listen to me and try his best to change, but he doesn’t get it.

When we see each other he’s planning on talking about everything together so we can actually get threw to each other, face to face.

Unlike me, he doesn’t talk about his feelings.
