Hi everyone. My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost a year now and we’ve run into some issues. We texted and skyped almost every day for many months until I decided to go visit her in Europe. We had a great time together and everything seemed to be going smoothly. When I got back home, we continued to text and I talked to her regularly. However, I began to notice that she seemed uninterested and was ignoring me at times. I eventually asked her and she told me that I was smothering her. I put myself in her shoes and I realized that I was being a little too reliant on her for support. We mutually agreed to give each other some space for a little while, and we would come back and address the issue at hand. The good news is that she will be moving back to the United States in a few months, and we will only be about 100 miles away from each other at college. I really don’t want our relationship to end and I want to let her know that I’m going to make changes in my life so we can have a happy realtionship again. Any advice on what I should tell her? I also want to tell her that the 100 miles is not that bad whatsoever, but I don’t want to come across as pushy. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
