so...how would you handle this?

For those of you who told me they faced a similar situation (ie confusion, nearly breaking up, not knowing whether to pursue the relationship ) with their LDR partner prior to separating...

how did you handle leaving your loved one?
Did you just let go and let them come after you?
Did you try to get on with your life without them in it and hope for the best?

I really don't know what I should be doing right now.
We still have 10 days left and I feel very lost and confused.

I have not been in your specific situation, but I would choose #3

IMO, the best advice anyone can give you is trust your instincts.  Make the best of your ten days together.  When you get home, as hard as it will be, try to start your life over.  Take care of number one.

I agree with Jennredd's advice.

How are you guys doing now that you have discussed and the fact that you have 10 days to spend together before you head back? Are you getting along ok or is it a bit strained? I hope the former!

well....we had a long talk last night and hopefully came to some understandings...
as I wrote elsewhere, it might not be the RIGHT way to handle this, but we have chosen the most workable option for us right now is to ask (and answer honestly) on a daily basis whether we are still serious about our relationship.

He seems to have a lot of confusion regarding how to approach a long distance relationship. He also clearly has some thinking to do over what he wants out of a relationship, and what he wants out of life.
I told him to me it (an LDR) meant staying in touch, truly caring about each other, being supportive, doing our best to help each other move towards happiness, getting to know each other even better...and moving towards seeing each other again...

if anyone has any other advice/definitions for workable LDR, please feel free to share!

thanks
