I am in total misery - I met someone I love so much that it scares me cause I've never felt this deeply before. Distance and a certain ex of mine interfering pretty much doomed any chance I had at being truly happy with this person. I don't even know if he truly loves me like he said he did. I'd walk through hell itself for love and have been but to no avail. If anyone has any advice as to how to make it through this agony please let me know. Also if you see him here oline let him know that I'm nothing without him.

So young..................sorry that you are experiencing this hurt, know that you can be strong through lifes struggles and remain optimistic about the future.
Recognize the vast difference between inconvenience and catastrophe. Nobody ever said that life is easty, trouble free or without pain and sorrow or broken hearts. Everyone has experienced at least one of those.
The secret to handling problems is how you view them. It is an attitude.
Maybe it is because I am older, but I think life is to be experienced with realistic expectations and endured without grudges.
You will always experience complexities and troubles.
I like to think of the pain and conflict that we all could spare ourselves and also the stress of it, if we just realized that heart ache can be survived.
Can not solve the problem only offer words of encouragement.
If you'd walk through hell for love then you'll ignore any other barriers in your way...is it worth it? Nothing has ever been seriously gained by standing passivly waiting for the perfect set of circumstances....love is never easy, even the best relationships require work. I dont know the details...like how has your ex interfered? How much distance? I have a girlfriend over 5 hours away from me and we've made it work for almost 9 months. As to not even knowing if he feels the same, theres really only one way to know for sure....talk to him and find out. best of luck to ya
It's hard to love someone so far away, but I believe that God has put us together for a reason. I to care for someone so far away and it is very hard not having this person close. I long to have him near many a time. However, I know there has to be a reason that we have been brought together and that is what keeps me going. Yes, he can't go to a party with me tomorrow night, but I know he is there for me. Can you call your guy? Do you talk with each other? Even though you are young love hurts. Hang in there. I am around if you want to talk!
Shakespeare - love is too rough and pricks like thorn....
Try to find the energy that you call misery, that energy that wells up in your belly and use it to tell yourself that through all of this, it is meant to happen the way it should, for you to walk your path in life and if that includes him, then it will happen and if it does not, you must take care of you and understand that this space is for the real "one" to show in your life.....
The person I found lives in New York and I live in Arizona. We know that we will not be together for a while yet but just the thought of that is good enough for me right now. We know that we are meant for each other so we think it is worth the wait. Sorry, I don't know what to tell you about your ex. I've never had to deal with that.
He says that he loves me but that I don't get it...... I get it alright - he didn't love me enough to work through this - when it became clear that he would have to put forth actual effort he ran.
It seems to me that the two of you are miserable without each other. I think that if you two truly want to be together, which it seems apparent that you do. You will find a way to do so, ex or no ex. Love has no boundaries, and sometimes distance makes it just that much stronger. Physical distance can be overcome at some point and time. Don't give up on what may be a chance at true love and happiness. I'm 2100 miles away from the man that I love and would do anything to be there with him right now, but circumstances at the moment won't allow me to. After I'm done with physical therapy and the Dr's give me the ok to do what I want, I'm on the next flight out of NY going to Phoenix.
It's never easy hon, but you have to look at it and ask yourself if you truly want to give up on a possible once in a lifetime chance. Whatever you choose to do, make sure you have no regrets when you do it.
She is right. You should really listen to her. She is one of the smartest people on this site. Not to mention the cutest. Like I said before, things have a way of working out if you truly want them to. The miles between you are just a little inconvenience right now. Don't give up on something if you think you are meant to be together.You will end up regretting it for the rest of your life.
Not to seem harsh but if he cared about you at all you two would still be together, I think that if he's gonna bail out this quick then maybe he isn't really worth your time.
If your ex is that much of an issue then one of you needs to move out and stop having contact period! As long as he is around it will only prevent you from going on with your life and jeopardize your future relationships.
And if you love this guy that much and he feels the same then don't let anything get in the way! Do not give up hope!
I am a strong believer in 'things happen for a reason' and whatever reason that may be you will see it at some point.
As for getting through the pain and stress may I suggest to you a good personal journal that you can write your thoughts and feelings in everyday? I used to do that and am thinking of doing it again. It really does help to relieve some tension and make you feel better for letting it all out.
Just take a deep deep breath and step back and write down the pros and cons and then decide what you need to do. And whatever it is that you do, do it from your heart! Your heart knows best.
