A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

So,this guy and I had been dating off and on for a few years now. We recently got back together, though I think it was out of pity for him. He's very clingy, and he smothers me a bit.

We're in a long distance relationship, so we don't talk as much as we should anyway, though lately I try to leave my house without the phone on purpose just to get away from him. I don't want to even look at him anymore,and I find my eyes wondering.

I don't want to put him through an affair, so should I just end the relationship?

He gets on my nerves all the time, and I just feel tired when he tries to talk to me.

I used to get butterflies when we spoke, and I used to constantly want to be around him, though now it feels like a chore to be in this relationship anymore.

Honeypie agony auntLDR doesn't work unless there is a COMMON GOAL to BE together geographically and physically at some point, otherwise it's more of a online FWB/pen-pal relationship.

It seem you are OVER this relationship, so yes you should end it. It's HARDLY fair on him that you have all this resentment towards him and stay in the relationship. Don't be mean and stay out of pity.

Set him free, set yourself free, and NEXT TIME date someone closer by. Someone you can spend time with. Most LDR's don't survive because of the absence of BEING together.
