I don't usually ask for advice, but I need some clear perspective. I've been committed to this girl for 6 weeks. I'm really connected to her, love her, whatever. She had a one way ticket out of town and I knew this going into our relationship. Last week she was only planning on leaving for a few weeks. This week I notice she's distant and I call her out on it and she tells me the next day we have to break up because she's going to be out of town for three MONTHS (she changes her mind a lot on this, she might not come back at all, I have a feeling). I agree because we've only been dating for a month and no way I can behave for three months (or however long) without her at this point, which I told her.
So here's the part I'm losing sleep over. She's leaving in two weeks and says she's going to be too busy to see me. I encouraged her to make the time so we can at least have fun before she leaves. I'm playing it off like it's no big thing, but part of me wants to just fight this, press her into making an hour for me so I can tell her in person how I feel. I can give her my best shot and it might be enough to make her decide to come back early again; might tip the scales. I might as well throw it out there because she might end up not coming back anyway. On the other hand, I feel like playing it cool, making new dates, and stopping the bleeding is the wise choice (which I'm already doing).
This is a relationship, I'm not asking how to game her. Thoughts? What would you guys do? Stay the course or spill my guts? Thanks, you guys are helping already.
You've only been together for 6 weeks .... she already had the ticket before you went into the relationship. Her mind was made, and a guy will not make her want to stay. She already had a plan to leave. If I had plans to leave in a few months, I wouldn't commit to any serious relationship...
And, if you knew of her one way ticket, why would you still pursue her ??? Were you expecting to change her mind out of love .. ? ...
What exactly do you mean by "behaving" without her... ??? Like, not cheating on her ? Long distance relationships can't work, in my opinion, unless youre utterly and completely in love, which if she was, she would actually stay.
Why is she leaving?? Work, family, away time??
Think inside her shoes.. if you we're leaving in a few weeks, why would you commit into a relationship ..?
You should ask her that: Why commit into a serious relationship, when she had plans to leave!
