Relationship
Hi I have been having a long distance relationship for 4 half years now. But he lives 100 miles away and we only see each other when we can at weekends. Now my son is more involved in football as he is 8 years old and lives with me. I am the only one that has to take him to the matches on Sundays as he does not see his bio father not for 8 years now. I have to do everything and I want to cos he is important to me. My boyfriend seems to think I am doing too much for my son. And he only comes down to see us when he wants to, last weekend was valentine and he didn't come and I was disappointed. My friends say I should dump him. He is becoming more selfish cos he has a huge hobby of photography and spends alot of his time on that now his children have grown up. I don't know what I should do. I love him but starting to resent him more lately. Linda

Long distance relationships are safe because people don't meet very often and when they meet they are usually at their best behavior. I understand that you want to devote a lot of your time to your son as he is very important to you. I agree with your friends and my advice is to break up with this absent and quite selfish boyfriend who only comes to visit when it suits him. Look for another partner who lives in your city and who likes spending time with you and your son as well.
Good luck

Thank you for your answer. I have ended our relationship. We are both very upset about it. I started to miss him now although we don't see each other often just the texts we used to, to each other everyday. We are now remain as good friends but I still have feelings for him. I hope I don't regret doing it but this is the third time I done that and we always gone back together. He didn't want it at first. I hate this loneiness. I have to find something else to keep me busy although I have a son to consider. Do you think I done the right thing. He said that he still have feelings for me and didn't want us to finish. But it was my decision.

It is natural that you still have feelings for him and that you feel lonely now after the breakup but at least now you are free to look for something better. It may take a while to forget him but if I were you, I would spend more time with my friends, do new things like joining a sports or hobby club, a reading circle or hiking club, whatever you are interested in doing. First of all, this will take your mind off your ex-boyfriend and give you a chance to meet new people who may turn into new friends and possibly a new relationship. Good luck.

Sounds though you have very different ideas about what you want from life, maybe the relationship has run its course?

I have ended our relationship two last week now. Still have feelings for him even though we don't see each other. He said he still has alot of feelings for me. He is finding it hard at the moment. We are staying remain as friends now. And we are moving on. But my concern when we were together we text each other almost everyday but now it's nothing. I have text him a few times and had replies back from him. But he never seemed to text me now. Why is that although we are friends. Is he avoiding me now or don't want anything to do with me.

I am getting quite lonely now as me and my boyfriend have split up a week ago. We were together for nearly 5 years in July but we split and it was my decision. My ex didn't want to. We are friends now and we text each other every now and again. We used to text everyday. But not it's nothing. We are moving on now. Although we don't see each other, I do still have feelings for him so does he for me so he told me. It's always me that makes the first move texting him, he replies. But he never makes any moves on texting how I am etc. Is he avoiding me, why is he being like that even though we are friends. Is he trying to forget me?

Maybe it's a sign that you should move on as well. Him not texting you before you text him is showing you that he's doing his own things to get his mind of you since its time to move on. Maybe you should go out with friends more and do the same. Stop texting him and show him you meant it to be over and your moving on as well. By the time you notice he hasn't texted you for awhile still, or has started to text you again, you've have been to occupied to care and time has past so much that your over it.
