Dear Suolmilainen:

You are very welcome. “He’s been by my side everyday as I was leaving my marriage.. I guess I should’ve been stronger to stand on my own”- it is natural and understandable to need someone by your side, especially when you are making a big change in your life.

You wrote it like it is: “he lies. I haven’t.. Trust is an essential part of a relationship”- He lies, he does not deserve your trust, therefore a healthy relationship with him (long distance or otherwise) is simply not possible. I hope that you will be strong enough to end this relationship sometime soon. Maybe even today. It would be nice if you could  meet another man who is honest and with whom therefore, a healthy relationship is possible.
