That's tough. Just stay calm and be polite and hopefully things will go as well as they can.

Tiggerlou - I'm always very impressed by you. You seem really sensible, really nice and really smart. You definitely deserve someone nice. Sorry if that sounds patronising. It certainly didn't in my head but written it does a bit.
Sam - I'm not sure you made it worse. Sometimes someone else getting involved really makes the people inside look at it. Either he will realise he's behaving unacceptably or she will (hopefully). You never know him going in to custody might give her time to get away. Well done stepping in.
I hope it goes well. If she doesn't like you then it's herr problem, not yours. Try and think that if you're worried, it may help! Good luck anyway. :)Quote:

Pah.
I'm having one of those days of feeling really down about being LD. I feel very jealous of those who are able to have a 'normal' relationship. Just doesn't feel like there's much light at the end of the tunnel right now.
That really sucks! You shouldn't have to live like that. I don't know how people can.Quote:

Then I went abroad for my 3rd year and we only saw each other twice in a eleven month period which was really tough. Then in my 4th year he used to come and see me every couple of weeks (depending on my work load). At times it was really, really hard and I used to find it really difficult that a lot of my other friends could see their boyfriends every day if they wanted to.
That said, I do think there are some nice things about LDRs. Because I didn't see my boyfriend that often, it meant that when I did see him, it was always really special. We would do lovely things together and I would get so excited in the lead-up to it. With previous relationships, I think I've got too 'comfortable' too soon, whereas with my boyfriend now, being LD kind of dragged out that honeymoon, early stages feeling. It also meant that whilst I was at uni, I was able to do my own thing. I'm not saying that you can't do what you want if you have a boyfriend, but it was sometimes nice to be 'Clover' and not 'Clover and....'.
Now I've graduated, I've moved in with my boyfriend and we are still totally loved up. Anyway, I guess the point of this ramble was to say that LDRs can work and that sometimes they can even have positive things about them.
Wow, lot been going on in here recently haha.
My hat is well and truly tipped to you Sam. I know a lot of people, myself including as much as I hate to admit it, would have been very reluctant to help because of personal fear. Seriously, thank god for people like you.
Tbh I just completely hated mine, didn't see any positives at all except maybe we appreciated each other more. It works for some, but I'm not sure I can do it ever again. I may be forced to next year, but I'll see him at least every other weekend so it's not totally terrible. However, a guy friend of mine has been trying to convince him to sign a lease to move in with him and two other guy friends we have so he can stay here and be with me. Not gonna lie, I would absolutely love it, but he would have to find a steady job first.
Haha its amazing what you miss when you dont post for a while... Oh an Nat, i agree with you... its very reminiscent of the 'i want my nose pierced' topic of conversation.. brick wall + talking to = ARGHHHHH!
Everything going great this end, well as well as can be expected since the loss of Nick's dad last week.
Being as supportive as i can be an hoping that its enough along with his memories an family support, to pull him and them through this hard time..... I know its going to be really hard for him, he was very close to his dad.
