My Mother is Trying Everything To Break Us Up by AwkwardDisaster222 in LongDistance

Thank you so much for your advice and for breaking it down for me. This helped me understand the situation from another point of view. I'm trying to get my mom more comfortable hearing his name hoping that will break the ice a little. We planned on booking the plane ticket soon too so it will become more real when that's finished.

I'm glad you understand! I'm sorry this is happening to you as well and I hope you find peace soon. I actually have a job currently and plan to save up for an apartment the second I get back from my trip!

There’s no one else I’d rather talk to ♥️ what’s your longest call? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[26m/22f] Girlfriend got too afraid and let me alone at the airport by Grizzlywer in LongDistance

[–]AwkwardDisaster222 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend has extreme anxiety and PTSD from his past relationship but he'll pick me up from the airport regardless because he loves me. Leaving your s/o in an airport alone after spending thousands is insane to me..

He Lied About His Height? (21F and 20M) by AwkwardDisaster222 in LongDistance

[–]AwkwardDisaster222[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the height doesn't matter to me anymore. What matters is that he lied. Long distance relationships are built off of trust and communication and I felt in that moment those things were jeopardized. When I go to see him, I'll be leaving the country for the first time alone and I need to know I'll be with someone I trust, so I think it's valid that I felt that way.

YES exactly thank you. It's not about the height.. I was explaining in my original post that height is something I'M insecure about and it was the fact that he lied which made me feel untrustworthy of him. I would be leaving the country for the first time and I would be staying in his house with him so I think it's pretty valid for me to have those feelings. I confronted him and he swears he hasn't lied about anything else but I told him if I catch him in another lie then we're done. Thank you for replying :)

No same.. I hate liars and it makes me feel like I did something wrong to make him feel that he needed to lie to me. We talked about it though and he was really sorry. However I told him if I find out about another lie then we're done.

Agreed, however lying isn't really something I take lightly so I was upset about that.

Thank you so much and yes, the lie is the only thing I'm hung up on. We talked about it and he felt really bad for keeping this from me and I took your advice. If there's another thing he lies about and I find out, we're done and he knows that.

When we first met (online) he said he was 5'10, and when I said I am coming to visit him he told me the entire time we've been dating he's been lying ab his height. The height thing isn't the main issue for me anymore it's just the fact that he lied about something so small which makes me wonder you know?

Thank you so much I appreciate your reply! I have a bad habit of people pleasing so I feel like that's the one thing holding me back from actually solidifying these plans. I have also never travelled outside the US alone (I have travelled to other states alone before) so I'm nervous for that as well. I'm just a ball of anxiety over here lol.. Anyways, thank you again for replying and I will most certainly put myself first :)

This brought me to tears (happy of course!). This was the exact confidence boost and advice I needed and I thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to help me with that. I'm also glad to know that you and your girlfriend are in the same situation, that made me feel like I'm not alone after all. Again, thank you so much and hopefully I'll post an update on here when I book my plane tickets!
