Posted by Anonymous on 2012/08/24 under Uncategorized My boyfriend and I have been together for two and a half years, long distance; me from Maine and him from Illinois. Recently, I moved to Illinois to be with him, which at first I loved. I like the small town charm here, friendly people, his accepting family and his friends who have accepted me as their own. But, it’s been three months and recently I find myself homesick. Not just the normal, first sleepover at a friend’s house, homesick, but crying myself to sleep, straight up miserable homesick. I just don’t know what to do. I know if I go home, our relationship won’t work out. You cannot go from being perfectly together, to being miles and miles away again, it’s frustrating, we’ve been doing it for too long, it’s not fair. But at the same time, he has a stable career and bills to pay, so I just can’t see how we could manage to pick up and move to Maine, search for jobs, and still stay afloat financially. Oh, why couldn’t I have just found someone local, it would have made my life so much easier!
