    Hello April,
    My name is Alex and my girlfriend just broke up with me yesterday. Here’s the story. We met at the college that I am currently attending, she is from Nebraska and I am from Kansas. We started dating at the very end of the school year last year and had to deal with the long distance side of the relationship. We were a couple hours apart, but we made due even through a couple rough patches. School started up and everything was fine, we became closer, got in a couple fights, but were still fine. We both started saying things like “we are best friends” and “I will always love you” and “I never want to break up”. In other words it has been a very serious relationship since the beginning, and it needed to be because of several incidents. Then at the very end of the semester she decides to transfer to another school in Nebraska, so it is fully a long distance relationship. She said she was so positive that we would stay together and she wasn’t worried about it. We were fine until she started school. She said yesterday that she has been losing feelings. I saw her last weekend but I was sick so she was basically taking care of me the whole time. I wanted the weekend to be good and special. I need her back. I know the stats are really low on long distance relationships to work and most people would say move on, but she is the best girl I have ever met and I don’t want to lose her to another jerk that has treated her like garbage in the past, because I know most guys out there will just want to hook up with her and hurt her. In other words she has been treated terribly by guys in the past until I came along. So my question is how can I get her back before she is hurt again?

    Alex

    i have two questions: who is Gwen? 😕

    and you say “I don’t want to lose her to another jerk that has treated her like garbage.” is she going back to another guy?

    Sorry, I wrote this on another site and just reposted it but forgot to change it to April. I know that I am talking to you now. And in regards to other guys that treated her like garbage, I am talking about her ex-boyfriends and guys in general that don’t respect her and want her as just a hookup. Sorry for the confusion

    It really sounds like the cards are stacked against you in this relationship for a couple of reasons. Not only are you now in a full on long distance relationship, you’re doing so at a time when both you and your girlfriend are full time college students. College is not just an educational experience but a richly social one, so without each other, you both have enormous resources for other people to date, befriend and socialize with. Your girlfriend is also telling you point blank that since she’s transferred to another college, and doesn’t see you regularly, she’s losing feelings for you.

    I’d advise you to not take the rejection personally, and understand that geographical compatibility is a large part of any successful relationship and it seems like that’s one of the main reasons your relationship is fading to off. That, and the college lives you both have in different states.

    Your concern for her potentially getting hurt if she dates other guys isn’t a good excuse for her not dating you because she’s a big girl and she needs to learn to take care of herself. Her past hurtful relationships brought her to you (a good guy! 🙂 ), so it’s entirely possible that she may find another good guy if she isn’t with you. Regardless, that isn’t really your business. It’s hers.

    If you do want to win her over, understand it’s an uphill battle, and all you can do is to continue to be positive, have fun when you are together, and know that you’re both in a tough situation, geographically, that she would like to use to explore other dating situations, and you don’t.

    I hope that helps even though it’s not what you wanted to hear.
