End of Long-Distance Romance
When I least expected it, I met someone while out of town. We immediately hit it off and continued to talk, write and visit. Things were going well, and I tried to keep it all in perspective. The distance didn't have to be forever. Anyway, we recently discussed things in depth and I discovered that he had been in an emotionally and financially draining long-distance relationship before he met me. So he was reluctant to commit to all of that again. He told me again and again to not take this personally and how special I was and how if it weren't for the distance he would want to be exclusive. Then he up and met someone where he lives... I'm disappointed and hurt even though I feel stupid for feeling this way. If I were so special, how could he just up and meet someone there? Just having a hard time getting over this. Any tips would be appreciated.
