I have been 'seeing' this guy for eight months now. How we met is quite the romantic story but irrelevant. We get on incredibly well and the connection is electric - I've never felt this before, ever. We know each other well and we have a way of being able to tell each other anything.
Here comes the problem, we thought at first it would just be something fun and casual as neither of us were looking for a relationship. Thing is now we've realised there is something special we have to end it.
We cannot ever be together because we live far away from each other and both have kids (it's not an affair btw) and so cannot relocate due to ex's, iyswim. Whilst I would love to live in the countryside where he is, I could not cope with all that driving so that my kids could see their father. Plus I think what we have is perhaps a bit fantasy because of the limited time together. A relationship built on fun times, not real life when we are together.
I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but I suppose I wondered if anyone else had to give up someone they had very strong feelings for because they could never be together properly? It's kind of like the one that got away....
