I met my boyfriend, Alex, about 10 months ago, through some friends, we started talking, but at that point I had a boyfriend, it was complicated but I’d fell in love with him, and I had no idea what to do, I thought he didn’t love me, and I thought that I’d never have a chance, and he messed me around for a bit, and well it upset me quite a bit, but I forgave him, and then he told me he loved me, and he meant it, and I remember he asked “should we try it?”, and from then on, we’ve been going out. For me, its a long distance relationship, even though its only 191 miles, 2 hours by train, and about 3 hours in the car, I can’t see him, his parents don’t approve, and neither do mine. I know he’s so close to me compared to the other stories I read on here, but for me, it doesn’t matter how long the distance, there’s still miles between us, that stop us from seeing each other. We’ve gone through a lot, I’m not exactly the most stable person, and he wasn’t either, we went through a stage where we argued a lot, and broke up quite a lot, and I can’t believe we’re still together now to be honest, but things have settled down now and things are much better. He means the world to me, he means everything, and I don’t know what I’d ever do without him, the fact we don’t see each other just makes us so much closer, and I know that sounds silly, but it’s true. I know this isn’t a very unique story, and people may think I’m being pathetic considering he only lives 2 hours away, but I can’t wait to see him, it’s so hard everyday to keep holding on, but I love him so much.
