Hey everyone, first time poster. I'm not usually much of a forum person but I don't have anywhere else to turn to because nobody I know seems to really understand my predicament.
I've been in a long distance relationship with my girlfriend for 2 years now. I live in Ireland and she in England and we've always made it work, visits here and there, Skype calls most days and every day messenging all the time. She is a year older than me and finished her final exams last year. I'm sitting mine in June. We planned on closing the gap and going to university together this coming September, ending long distance permanently. However, as of this week, we may have to split up, the reason being that she has gone away to Thailand for 2 months working in an animal sanctuary, and I am just not coping well at all.
The time difference means I'm 6 hours behind, which is a complete spanner in the works, as well as the fact she is totally dependant on wifi to talk to me (no data service). This, and me being uncomfortable with Thailand as a whole has led to a huge amount of stress and tension in the whole ordeal, also not helped by her refusing to compromise about anything. She initially promised she would cut her trip short, but has since reneged. I asked her not to go to the Full Moon party that seems to be such a big deal on the island she's staying on (basically a drug fuelled rave for 30000 fucked up tourists) and she promised she would not. She has also reneged on this.
I'm so upset and worried. She's an 18 year old English girl alone in a strange country and going to something like that. It's also heavily impacting my studies, as most of the time I'm too busy worrying or arguing with her to do anything else.
I'm really struggling here, and I cant even discuss it with her because she's so adamant. Can anyone help me? I have no idea what to do. I can't conceive of doing this for 8 weeks while trying to prepare for such important exams. What do I do? Please, someone help me
