Hello. I'm Courtney Syvonne, 23, now living in northwest georgia. I moved here this past September of 2007 from Boone NC. I was going to school at Appalachian State but my boyfriend of 2 years graduated and made the move down to Georgia to start teaching and coaching. So I started missing him a lot, and left Boone soon after and we eloped and got married this past December. I don't regret the getting married part at all, but I regret leaving Boone. :sniff1: I miss it so much it makes me cry sometimes. I hate it where we live now, too much commercialized mess. No beautiful mountains, no beautiful hiking trails or camping sites, just yucky buildings and interstates, no peace of mind, all busy traffic, no real companionship with people. No friends (all left in Boone). My husband is content here. He's very much into his coaching position and doesn't want to leave this area b/c he has already made such a big impact with his team and I don't want to take that from it. It is his dream to build the program he is building and being the best in the state, but I'm missing out on my dream and what I consider to be important in my life. I'm at the point where I want to move back to Boone to at least finish my education (only have a year and a half left) and somehow manage my marriage distantly. I think it can happen, my husband has made the comment before I can do whatever makes me happy. He's very trustworthy and understandable...just not as adventurous as me (I would like to take off for a few weeks in a little van just for the enjoyment of the adventure unlike him, he's too much into his work) and he is hellbent on never moving back to Boone or the beach, which either is where I could be completely happy for the rest of my life. Anyway, not trying to depress anyone here!!!! I just want some online friends I can chat with and any advice on my situation from anyone would be awesome! I'M BACK!!!!! ~Court
Wow. That's a tough one. I hope that you're able to sort it all out. I've been in a long distance relationship for three years now and it's working out pretty well. Hope this helps. Good luck.
i hope you do, what you need to do. you are young, with your whole life still ahead of you. if you feel like this now, it won't get any better by not doing anything about it. you will never get where you want to in life by doing the things you don't want to do. don't be a part of your husbands dream, live your own and make them work together. don't give up on your relationship, but as long as you two are still alive and breathing, you have a chance to make it all work. it seems to me that feelings are the easy thing to come by with a relationship. it's finding someone with the same goals and life plans as you that is truly hard, it's the logistical and practical side that really matters, because that's what makes it really "work". personally, i would rather regret some things that i did, than regret the things that i did not do. there are enough miserable people out there, we don't need any more. just some thoughts... nick
