I think there may be some misconceptions, particularly about guys, not really wanting a LTR. So. . . when you are dating, do you have the idea that if you find the right partner (and if they feel the same way,) you are willing to settle into a long term relationship? Or are you closed to that possibility? I am NOT asking if you start every first date thinking or even hoping that this person is THE ONE; I am just asking if you are open to a committed relationship if you meet the right partner.

What started the argument is when I was taking out the trash and I notice a bag a chips that I was saving to eat later was inside the trash can. I asked my wife did she threw them away. She told me she gave rest of the chips that was still in the bag to our daughter. I wasn't upset about the chips being gone. I did however did feel like my wife should at least told me about the situation so I wouldn't have to wonder what happen to them. My wife has done this before with other things where she will use something that belongs to me and don't tell me about until I'm aware that it was being use or has been missing. When initially ask about the chips she was using the restroom so I wanted for a more proper time to tell her on how I feel about the situation. That's when the argument started. She only did it be because our child was hungry. And she didn't think should have to ask or tell me that she did it. Which I agree the only issue I had about the situation just in general just let me know what's going on so I want be lost on why something is missing or out of place. throughout the argument she really didn't care for what I had to say because she was more upset that she and my daughter have be sick for the past few weeks and I haven't been helping out around the house as I should due to me working over night and I sleeping during the day. Which I totally accept my fault for that. Then she started to yell and scream at me telling me that I'm acting like a child and that I was being selfish about some chips. I could care less about the chips being gone. I just wanted to set some kind of boundary and be aware of what's going to something that belongs to me and how that mad me feel.

There is a woman I am completly and utterly in love with and have been from the second I heard her voice over the phone when we spoke to each other the first time for work.

It didn't take long for us to form a friendship. Almost immediately. And over a short time we became very close emotionally. We were talking to each other several times every day, but never meeting in person. We met once when I drove to her town on her birthday. I was there for something else but if I'm honest, that thing was an excuse to try and see her. She agreed but I think we were both shy, not many words were exchanged and I left feeling soo deflated. Until she phoned me a couple of hours later and asked why I didn't want to stay with her longer. We called each other 8 times that day after meeting in the morning.

She supported me when my Grandad died. She knew something was wrong and called me to find out. I don't know how she knew, there was no way she could, but she did. My Grandad was my favourite person, and she helped me through it.

This relationship has existed for 2 years now. Although we are not as close as we once were. She used to answer every call whether she was available or not. Even in her sleep. Now she goes hours before texting me back, if she texts back at all. Its been worse over the past couple of months. She won't take my calls, and she texts me as an aquantance rather than a friend. I really miss the relationship we had, and I miss her.

My life before her was not good. She tempted me out of my shell in to the big wide world and has inspired me to live my life. I'm doing things now which I never thought I'd ever do. I'm developing and becoming a better man for me, but because of her.

I want to tell her all of this. I want to thank her before I lose her entirely. I don't know what her reaction will be, I think she won't respond at all and that will be the end. But I don't want the regret of not telling her. I have enough of those.

Is sending my text a good idea?
