Should I wait for Love?

Asked by azusenal (175points) August 26th, 2009

I need some advice. I am madly in love with a man who had to move to another state to work. He didn’t want to ask me to uproot my situation because of family. I want to wait for him to return. Please give me your thoughts on this.

What is your question?
It seems all the decisions have been made already.

How long will you have to wait?

How long have you both been in love?

If he will be returning. I say wait.
See if absence will make your hearts grow fonder.

OMG that is what I’m going through, except I’m the man, it is a tough one huh? Yeah, I need some help with this too. I miss her. But I guess I looked inward, and realized that they were worth it in proportion, to how long I would have to wait. Talk to a mathematician, apply math to it. Look at the positives and negatives, I mean if it’s really love, then that’s not asking to much.

I met him this summer. I don’t know how long I would have to wait, but I am willing to.

So he’s away, like far far away. Do you meet people easily, do you have other prospects, or are you really in love with this guy, and if so, shouldnt that answer your question, or is your greatest ability to love fall somewhere between Kafka, and the frozen food isle?

How old are you. (I am resisting the urge to start singing “Summer Love” like Olivia Newton John)

Before waiting, you need to have a discussion with him (probably face to face) that the reason he gave you is, in fact, the real reason or was a way to let you down gently.

I would just try to casually stay in touch. Does it seem like he’s going to be fooling around while he’s away?

What is the status of your relationship? I think if you kind of defined what you guys have (or had) and his stance on the whole thing we’d be able to answer you more appropriately. Otherwise, it’s wait or dont wait.

Simple, do whatever your heart tells you too.

What are the odds that he will return? What type of communication is he maintaining with you (not you with him)? Is he married? How old are your children? Would you be willing to give up custody in order to move?

Hey, My only advice for you is….......Yes! wait for him. But under these conditions:
That he loves you just the same as you,
If he is willing to come back for you,
R u guys together? Or are you just in love with someone your not with?
Anyhow go ahead and wait for him. but like i said only if he feels exactly the same way you do, otherwise don’t wast your heart and emotions on something that might not come to pass.

good luck.
