Long Distance Advice?

[Mcds1417]

I have been in a long distance situationship I'd say for almost 4 years. The minute we started talking there was a undeniable connection between us. He's never been ok with the distance but he also couldn't deny how great we got along so we continued this thing. We'd see each other 2-3 times a month and we really aren't super far from each other. Only about a 1 hour and 20 minutes sometimes less sometime more depending on traffic. I on the other hand was ok with the distance only because I honestly feel this is the person I am meant to spend my life with. We've both tried dating other people closer which has been unsuccessful for both of us. I am just tired of trying to convince him to try for a committed long distance relationship which would mean I'd be able to see him more but still not enough for him. I asked for space to figure things out for me and he fought me on it.. Just doesn't understand why we can't just stay friends but finally he agreed so we are on a break/needing space. Do you think the space might make him reconsider things? Will him not talking to me or seeing me make him realize how important I am to him or will this just push us further away?

To think that a break will make him miss you or want to be with you is incredibly stupid.

[Mcds1417]

The reason for the break isn't to make him miss me. It's just something that needs to happen because of our situation.

[spartan55]

So what is the reason then?

[Mcds1417]

Because he doesn't want to do a long distance relationship. He wants me to move closer to him without even trying a long distance committed relationship. I can't do that. So I ended things.

Well you are talking major longshot for it to work

[spartan55]

Since when is a hour and 20 minutes long distance?

[Mcds1417]

I completely agree. I don't think it would be considered long-distance, but he does. He wants somebody who can be around and close. He doesn't wanna have to wait.

I hate when women say this but if he was into you he wouldn't be saying that.

It may or may not push you further away. Only time will tell.
