Insecurity

Dear Jimbo

I have been going out with this [ethnic group deleted] guy for 2 months now. In the first few weeks of our relationship he used to phone me every night, visit me at least once a week and the whole of the weekend...

Lately he doesn't phone me that much. I am always the one to phone him. I only see him weekends..

I am very open with him and share all my secrets but recently I phoned and his sister said he went out. He usually tells me where he goes.

I found out that he went to an old female friend of his (he was seeing her at one stage) to her 2-year-old daughter's birthday party. He is 23 years old; why would he want to go to an infant's party....

I asked him if he is cheating on me and he says NO, he would never because he wouldn't want to lose me.

We have so many arguments and when we get to the point that we feel one of us is going to break up with the otherwe apologise and make up....

I LOVE HIM and don't think I'll be able to go on without him!!

Do you think I am insecure...its just that I don't know what he does during the week!!! He told me that he would do anything to make our relationship work.

Please help

Angel,

Yes, you seem a little insecure. Try to give your guy a little space.

Readers, am I off base?

Jimbo

Hey Jimbo:

I have been seeing a guy for only 3 months, but I know that there is nobody else I'd rather be with. I haven't felt like this towards anyone before. I want to be with him constantly.

The problem is he is leaving for college. We both are against dating other people. We love each other very much. But will college cause a conflict, causing us to drift apart? Please reassure me that it won't.

Dear Scared

College by itself won't cause a problem, but you both have to make the effort to make the relationship work. Absence can make the heart grow fonder (or it can make the heart go yonder).

Readers, share your real-life experiences of long-distance relationships.
