  • Just saying!!

    I definitely needed to see this. I’ve been with my man for a little over 2 years and have been long distance for 1.5!! (Yes you read that right). I’m here in the States and he is in Ghana and I saw him for the first time in over a year just about a month ago. It’s so difficult because things don’t feel equal at all. He can’t seem to get a visa to come here and see my life and meet MY family and we can’t always Skype, etc. because his internet is whacky. Not to mention almost all the arguments wind up happening through Whatsapp, which definitely isn’t a good form of communication. We’ve held on so long that I can’t imagine letting go but I’m not sure how much more I can take. A part of me is a little afraid if I let him go I’ll be alone forever…there really is no one in this country (that I have met) that is like him or could even come close….

      I don’t know anything about this supposed love of your life, but by the sounds of it, he just isn’t putting forth the effort you deserve. There are a million and one reasons why someone can’t bridge the gap between continents, but if he truly reciprocated your feelings, he would find a way. Technology is an easy and convenient tool to fall back on, but there’s a limit. The excuses need to stop. Have a serious conversation with yourself and make the point of doing the same with your man over the phone.

      I hope things work out for the best…mine lives in Georgia and I’m in Texas…we skype, text, talk, etc…when his schedule isn’t hectic due to work we schedule our time together in person. I understand the craziness that happens but I always go with the if they care about you they will make time for you…I know it’s not the best slogan to go by because life happens but he should at least try to get his visa or make his way to the states. Sometimes you have to do what’s best for you and just let go. I don’t know your spiritual status but pray for the spirit of discernment…when you ask God, He will show you the answer.
