Impatient but practical

I understand this. One year is a long time, but if you think about all the time you have been waiting, one year is nothing. If Heather really deserves it, and it seems to me she does, don’t let that go! “what will we do with your cat” can be romantic if you use the right connotation 🙂 (just trying to cheer you up) Things will go just fine, you are both into this 🙂 you’ll manage to do it well

I agree with Alex. You’ve waited so long already that to me, a year doesn’t seem so bad in perspective. It gives you the time to do things the right way, make good, sound decisions instead of rash ones, get your stuff in order, etc. Just make sure that you spend the year in the planning process instead of the sitting-around process. And I would LOVE to write a book based on your relationship.

yeah, a year is nothing here. this has been seven years in the making and it will pass by like nothing. also, !!!!!! also, not a cat person?

Matt, I can understand the longing part. You guys have been in each others orbit for seven years. Yet, I do agree with the others that…you want to make sure that you get your business in align before you guys move in together or move to the same location to be together. Moving in with someone is serious business, and it seems like you being rational is practical and mature.

You want to make sure it is what you both want, and you want to make sure that you guys will work on yourselves and the relationship when you move in. I know. Jonathan and I have been living together for 5 1/2 years…and it is a lot of work, My Friend. So, you guys having a year to get your priorities in order…sounds like a fine idea to me.

I loved your line about the cat. It make me cackle within the depths on my apartment, frightening to hear i’m sure for my neighbors. If you two want it to work, really want it to work, it will work. But go slow my friend, this is a step that you can only really take once. It’ll work out.

wumpy is right … the romance part is exciting, but going too fast could ruin the whole thing. I’d say, moving closer is great, but moving in might be a bad idea. BUT! I’m excited to see where your relationship will go after a move … quite a happy story that would be 🙂

If you want her with you and you want to stop waiting, then don’t worry about the practicalities because they will fall into place. Worry about getting it all started so that the sweeping romance can happen. ~I’ll be

I know it’s hard…I was five hours away from my husband the first year of our marriage. It sucked, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but we did it and I’m so happy now. A year is nothing! That’s what I tell myself anyway. You can do a year of anything 🙂 Good luck!

This sounds like a tough situation. I’ve had a slight taste of similar, but nothing so long or as deep as what you are writing of. It must be frustrating and hurt.

I think you are long overdue a go at this to see whether it works…

ryn: because I don’t have a valid reason to feel sad.

if you’re not sure or ready after seven years . . . there’s just nothing rash about it.

Do it now or forever wish you had sucka!

Long distance relationship is really hard. But I admire your attitude towards your relationship. I mean, most of the time, this kind of relationship doesn’t work out properly. I wish you all the best! ryn: Thanks! =)

RYN: Those people bother me so much and in my opinion shouldnt even call themselves citizens of this country. How disrespectful.
