Should I end my long distance relationship if it no longer feels like a relationship?

Asked by dreamer94 (37points) April 30th, 2020

My fiance and i have been in a ldr for almost 2 years now. here lately it doesn’t even feel like a relationship. We use to talk every single day and no we don’t talk at all. He has completely shut me out and would rather talk to his ex about our problems even though I told him i’m not okay with that. Should I just call it quits now, or give it like a week to see if things change?

Call it quits.

I would talk this over with him. Give him a chance to save the relationship.

I have talked to him about this. He agreed that things need to change and we need to communicate more and he shouldn’t be talking to his ex. I honestly feel like what I said didn’t really faze him.

@dreamer94 I would be in tears. Some people respond to stress differently. Good for you for giving him a chance to fix rhe relationship.

Talking to the ex about YOUR relationship would have ended it for me. Not cool and not respectful at all. And probably a lie.

Yes. LDRs seldom work.

I think you should hang on tight. What could be more right for the times than a long distance relationship?
It sounds like he is willing to talk.
If your main obstacle is his conversations with his ex, stress the importance of moving forward, which doesn’t happen in a healthy way when the ex is towed along.

It doesn’t sound like much of a relationship if you’re far apart. Free yourselves.

Consider if he is lying about talking ( an excuse) to his ex.
He is playing both of you.

It doesn’t sound like things are headed in a positive direction.

If you don’t talk at all and he is not being honest, I don’t see what’s worth saving.

Your relationship is already over, he just didn’t tell you.

If he is talking to his ex about things rather than you, it’s over.

Do not initiate any conversation or text or email. If, after a few days, he reaches out to you, you can say.” I thought you had moved on.” If he protests, then you can have a convo with him about what you need going forward.

@zenvelo I like it, and it’s not clingy/ needy. Good advice.
