Don't Know What To Feel About My Boyfriend by Nobody: 12:03am On Oct 23, 2022
Hi! I am back with another topic.

Okay, my boyfriend and I have been dating for 4 months plus and for the most part it has been terrific. We chat, videocall and do what most couples do.

The only main issue I see is that the entirety of our relationship has been long distance. I was completely aware and consented to it, but now I am having second thoughts on the relationship as a whole.

-- Side Track--
In between being in my first relationship and having high expectations of my man, I have this ideology that as a couple we should treat each other equally. Let me explain, if I go out my way for you, I expect the same. I always thought it would make sense that way.
--Side Track --

Anyways, we made time to meet and he agreed on coming over first. When he came over, I made sure I wasn't an inconvenience to him. However when, I want to come over, he gives me the cold shoulder.

I voiced out my anger and he made me feel like my emotions aren't valid. I have been looking at everything he has done to annoy me and I am starting to second guess.

I need your help on this one. Am I overreacting to the whole situation?

Hmmm, there are lots of blind spots in your story.

1. What was the general consensus upon which the relationship was built, was it for marriage or fun?

2. What's his reason for you not coming over?

3. Are both of you working in these different locations? And to what extent is the flexibility of seeing each other?

1) we both said we should see how it goes, that marriage might not be end goal. embarassed embarassed

2) I guess I didn't explain it well, when I told him I want to come over, he send address via googlr map and basically was like your on your own. Even he didn't want to send the address at first and I was like when you wanted to come over, I immediately send address and made notices so that my work won't overlap and he will be waiting for me. I wanted to feel assured that yes okay he is planning for me to come because I don't know road and he didn't.

3) We are two different states.

Only 4 months and you are already listing what amounts to red flags for you. Do you somehow expect these flags to disappear as you invest more of your time into the relationship? undecided

You need to maybe think about relationships as you would a business investment or stocks. What do you gain from continuing to invest more of your time and life into this here relationships...you need to ask this at this point. undecided

People can't always be like us. The first mistake in relationships or life in general is expecting other people to be like us.

You showed eagerness and planned for his arrival. I even thought he didn't give you his address, he did but he isn't showing the same level of eagerness. Learn to understand people and deal with them accordingly, that's the secret to a happy life.

Go and visit. Google map is pretty straightforward, irrespective of the State or Country. I think your expectations are quite high. Take things easy from here on and see how things go.

This particular comment of yours has given the lead on where your relationship is heading to. It was not made an "open relationship" kind of. So, if you're thinking about marriage, sorry.

It's kinda funny when he sent an address through Google map and backed it up with "you're on your own", what are flag!

Ummm, well from your depositions, I'll only advice that you only deal with people who are willing to commit at your level, that is if you're looking to build a life of meaning and settle down, pray and look for those kinds of people and can commit to them, and if you're looking to play life and live under probability then you commit to those kinds of people.

Relationship is a beltway process where the other person's interest is looked into and attended first, if he has valid reasons for you not visiting, it should be clear to both of you and not to leave one party in limbo, guessing as to what's in the mind of the other party.

Hence I'll suggest, you people should talk things out, but again at the end of the day it boils down to what you want in life and the price you're willing to pay to get there and looking for someone with same energy and values. Cheers

Forget about that guy. He doesn't love you and prolly wants out but doesn't know how to say it.

Just help make it easy for him by blanking him and moving on.

On the side. Hope you didn't let him see your pant when you went visiting.

Hmm alright, thank you. I felt hurt really that if I am going to go out of my comfort zone to meet you at least be enthusiastic. I mean, he is familiar with my side because he has an aunt living in my state but I don't know shit about his state.
