My name is Brit and I've been "officially" dating Jon since November, but we've been together long before that. Long distance has been hard on me, as I'm sure it has been on many of you. I'm glad to have found a place where I can explain my thoughts and vent with people who actually understand where I'm coming from. Here's the synopsis of my story:
As I'm sure most of you are blessed enough to feel, I'm completely and totally in love with this man. He makes me feel safe and happy. He makes me laugh when no one else can. He makes me smile with one text. He doesn't take me for granted. He reminds me how much I mean to him. He's perfect for me.
Jon and I were never supposed to be long distance. We actually lived less than hour apart when we started dating. Due to some family problems, Jon went back home to stay for a few weeks and help get things taken care of. Eventually a few weeks turned into a month...which turned into six months, and you get the picture. All of the sudden I found myself in a long distance relationship that I didn't sign up for. At first, i enjoyed being long distance, at least some aspects of it. Our communication got better. Our love felt stronger. Our sense of security still felt strong. But lately its beginning to wear on me. I miss him so much and I want nothing more than to just spend the weekend with him. It's complicated, frustrating and discouraging. Don't get me wrong, I'm still madly in love with him and can't imagine being with anyone else, but that doesn't help this nagging feeling I can't make go away.
I don't know how to explain it. I just feel so upset about it all the time and I can't seem to shake it off. Perhaps I'm just being an over-emotional girl! It was nice to introduce myself and I look forward to interacting with you all.
