Hey Pianogirl,

I was in a long distance relationship with my fiance as well, so I definitely understand how hard they can be. The thing to keep in mind with long distance relationships is that trust and communication are key. Without those, an LDR can be extremely difficult and painful.

Personally, I agree with dark heart. It might be time to take some time for yourself. I think taking the time to focus on the people who are actually present in your life was a wonderful idea, but at this point I think you should take it one step further. Maybe just be single for awhile. Have fun, continue to do things you enjoy. Keep making friends. Who knows who you could meet! There's no need to stay in a relationship that makes you unhappy, nor is there any reason for you to rush into another right way.

What is your gut telling you?
