And I don't use that word lightly. I never use that word, but I don't think there's any other appropriate one to use. I love this guy so, so much, but I don't know where to go from here.
It's been rocky from the start, about two years ago. I was coming out of another long-term relationship and he was there. Beautiful. Intelligent. Funny. Deep. But we just. can't. communicate anymore. I've got my issues too--I'm no angel--but is a rational, thoughtful, patient relationship too much to ask for?
It's been long-distance for a year now. I moved for a job, and things were really unclear for the first few months of the distance. We each made some serious missteps (his, in my opinion, were far more egregious than mine. If I went into the gory details, I think you'd agree too), but, starting last Christmas we really began to talk seriously about a lot of things, and we've been flying to see each other every 6 weeks or 2 months or so. It's rough, but we try to make it work, and we've begun talking seriously about moving to be with one another. But he is one of the most irrational, petty, vindictive, impatient, downright nasty persons I've ever been in arguments with. He usually apologizes afterward, and we talk it out, and I hope HOPE that that situation won't arise again, but it does. Without fail. And my hope is waning. He brings out the worst in me, and I don't know what to do.
