Long distance relationship break up

0

I have been in a relationship for the last year, the majority of it has been long distance. I had to go on a year abroad this year and my now ex has to go away next year. It had been working quite well, obviously ups and downs, but for me it was the perfect way as i could still enjoy my year abroad and have the option to go and visit him every 4 weeks and Skype him. However, we decided to break up two weekends ago, as the whole long distance thing wasn’t working for him. He said that he felt too much pressure, and being very ambitious he wanted to focus on uni more. However, I hate not being with him and just miss him so much and I know that he still likes me. But I’m scared to ask him to get back together with me for fear of rejection. I want to suggest to Skype less often and maybe take the pressure of seeing each other that much. What should i do?

Long distance relationships take a lot of dedication and loyalty to one another, especially when you reach the kind of distances where visits are 4 weeks in between.You shouldn't be afraid of him rejecting you if you want to try again, but if his heart isn't in it, a second start up will probably just lead to another break up. Both parties really have to be invested in each other to make it last, especially if either of you had plans on moving to where the other one lives, you don't want to get to that step, and then have it fall apart after such a large financial and sometimes occupational commitment.
