Can a man really still love you and keep in touch w/hope of reconnecting in the future but not handle long dis

Question

If a man loves you..why cant they handle a long distance relationship? My ex was 7 years older and I moved away to college. We stayed together for 6 months but then he said the long distance relatiionship was too hard..he wanted me to go meet new people and have fun. He couldn't let go of me though and kept on calling right after he broke up with me. to this day he still tells me he loves me. I am so confused on how he feels? why did he break up with me if he loves me so much? can some men really just not handle long distance relationships? do you think he is keeping such close contact with me because he sees hope for the future when i am older and out of college? my age was also always a big issue for him..his bro gave him **** b/c i was so much younger. any ideas on what the love of my life is thinking? i love him so much but scared to show emotions because dont want to act

Answer 1

I will hesitate to believe him. However, he is right that you should mix around too.

Answer 2

Having had a few long distance relationships, I understand that it's tough. It's hard to be with someone when you can't actually be with them. He's probably keeping contact with you in hopes that you two can be together after you get back from college, but be forewarned... The person you were before you went to college, won't be you after-wards. I would back off, no more lovey dovey stuff, and see if he eventually loses interest. In the meantime, you need to be a single college girl honey! This is the best time in your life to go out with your friends, and you don't need to be worrying about him. He's a big boy, he can handle it. If eventually you two reunite, that's great, but you need some time to explore who you are. I'm sure he got to sew some oats while he was younger.

Answer 3

If age is an issue and has been than it might always be.Most people find it difficult to have long distant relationships. You can't see each other or do things together and loneliness sets in and there comes a person to fill the void.He may love you but still can't handle the distance and age difference.

Answer 4

i think that he still loves you but he has some fears that's why he broke up with you. did you ever ask him what makes it difficult fo rhim to handle a longs distance relationship? maybe he needed some assurance from you especially that distance separates you.

why don't you take time to talk things over and see the possiblitity of working out your longs distance relationship. it is all a matter of communication. remeber the n adage "absence makes the heat grow fonder"?

good luck to both of you.

Answer 5

I m sorry to tell you this, but if he really loves you he wont do it, maybe he just want some freedom and at the same time dont want to lose you. I think its very selfish of him to be like this

Age gap is not a problem. My dad and mom age gap is 13 years old. However if u really loves him , talk it out and get to the point. thats all

Answer 7

They all sound like legitimate questions to ask him yourself if you are communicating. Good luck.
