The problem with LDR advice...

[Jessipoo]

unless it's from a forum where it's more personal like this one (which I wish I discovered sooner) is that... it's the ideal situation, which unfortunately doesn't always coincide with real life.

Nothing can fully prepare you emotionally for an LDR. Especially when there are so many bumps in the road that eventually get between you and your SO.

I got lucky and found (through random searching) the Long Distance subreddit and from there found this place.

You'll make things work out. There are foggy valleys but then you climb up a mountain again and see your goal clear and beautiful

Hard to when he's not talking to me or responding (and like I said, we didn't say we were having a break, knowing how I think and he thinks, we'd both agree it's a silly concept which convinces me we're through)... he's having a real hard time and everyone's advice is to give him space but he may grow to resent me with all the negativity in his life and between us.
