Hi George,

Maybe you are not ready for the big step – the move. I think you should take it slowly – have her come to you, meet somewhere in between before that, do holidays together… Of course, moving all the way is a big decision, and it’s understandable that you got overwhelmed. In the meantime, look at all the other options – are you that in love with her? Is she worth to change your life for? Think, discover yourself. If she’s the one, go for it – if not, take it slowly.

I met a woman in a chat room and she approached me, started in March 2011 and I just recently visited her September 1 to 11 it went great, we interacted and got along well went almost seamless. I got along well with her 3 kids ( 18, 15, 10) we were planning on her flying out here in March 2012 with her daughter to spend a week meet my parents and from then on take it from there. For our relationship to work I’d gave to move to California, transfer with my job etc, and I recently broke it off with her a few nights ago and feeling I rushed it, Did I make a mistake? Should I ask for a 2nd chance and pickup where we left off? I do love her , me thinking of the move overwhelmed me and I made a rushed decision. Your opinion would be appreciated.

They are different points of view Dan. I really think that a bit of flexibility is the key to survive a long distance relationship… It’s the way I DID to last long with girlfriends living in other continents! As long as you promise to be there for her and show you are better than any other man she’ll meet, it will be fine! I wouldn’t call it cheating just yet =)

I couldn’t not disagree more with the whole if you happen to sleep with someone other than your partner or if they sleep with someone else. That’s called cheating and you probably shouldn’t be with someone if they won’t even give you such a commitment.

Hey Sergeant, thanks for your comment!

I have to be honest with you – I never got married. I had LDR with girls I really loved, but we were never actually formal.

But I still believe the principles hold. You DON’T need to be with other people, obviously, but don’t make such a big deal about it if happens.

True love, I believe, is what matters. And true love goes beyond if the other slept with one other man or woman another day. No one likes his or her couple to be with someone else, especially if away… But well, it could happen.

Just make sure that, if there is one, the third in the story is insignificant to the love you hold. Make her feel that whatever happens, the moment she needs you you are there for her. That small commitment what matters most.

Good luck and stay safe! =)
