Shes moving away!

[Echelon]

Please help! Im beside myself! My girlfriend Jess is moving away! By away i mean to the other end of england! Please help! I want to die! I really dont know what to do! We've been together for 2-3 years now! Neither of us want this!

Can you two keep contact by phone or something? Letters? Email? If so it can't be that bad. I'm sure you will see eachother again sometime soon in person.

[Echelon]

It wont be the same though. I mean i practically live for her!

[Gumleaf]

ok, you need to try and calm down. i realise your very close but sometimes in life we just have to let go of things that are really close to us. unless you move with her, you will have to resort to email and phone.

Ok well I'm going to say it like it is, not sugar coat it. Shes moving away, you'll probally rarely if not ever see her. Its just a part of life, you'll have to move on, because it happens.

That sucks so much man. :( But ... long distance relationships are possible, and I know as I am currently in one. Email/AIM/phonecalls are all great ways of keeping a long distance relationship going, and maybe you could go see her in holidays and other times during the year when you're able to?

That sure does stink. I say try for a long distance relationship. If it doesnt work out ur just gonna have to move on and forget about her. Best of luck

get a webcam or phone and instanst message itll be like she on a mini vacation but you still gotta face the facts shes moving and you really cant do anything accept keep in touch.

[RaisingSand]

Yeah, webcam is a really good idea. :)

Dude my girlfriend who im deeply in love with might be moving away to a completely different country and luckily (touch wood) it hasn't happened yet. But I can see how much that would hurt, its probably going to end it to be honest, long distance doesnt really work.
Im sorry to hear it.

Oh had sad for you, i'm really sorry! listen, i do not like this term 'Long distance relationship'. You have a relationship, and yes it will change, but the 'long distance' part only aggravates the loss and seperation you feel, and adds a sense of permanence to the loss. Not so! Sure, you'll have to come up with different ways of staying in touch, and it won't be as often, but it can still feel the same! And that's what you and she want to focus on, maintaining the same close feeling, regardless of the distance. It's like the times now when you're apart, you still feel close, right? Her moving will feel the same, just with some complications you and she will have to overcome. I like the webcam idea, IM, and that old stand by, the telephone. And, of course, visits.

It'll be different, but it doesn't have to necessarily change. Work on ways to maintain the closeness eventhough the distance might be greater.
