Anita,

Thank you. But no I didn’t start a new relationship with someone else, I just made new friendships with new people and was happier in those than in my own relationship. I was unhappy at the situation, I was unhappy that we couldn’t hold a conversation for more than 5-10 minutes anymore and when we did, it was always in silence or awkwardness because in a long distance relationship, what really is there to talk about. And in any issue that came up, it was not talked out and forgotten about and I was fed up with the underlying issues that weren’t being said. I said to him that I wish he wouldn’t overlook the issues in our relationship because he would just put a bandaid on them and forget them, which drove me crazy.
