Well VBers. I've had a boyfriend going on four monthes now. I met him during the summer, and we spent a lot of time together during two monthes. Every one day out of two or three... minus the week I spent at camp and the weekend I spent camping. Funny though, nobody asked the other one out... we haven't really been on a date yet... we'd just hang around, go for a walk or sit and talk. What we have in common is little... we both like playing guitar, drawing, going for walks, Nightwish and cats, but other than that, he likes Stargate, I like M*A*S*H, he didn't do so well in high school, I'm in IB courses, I'm a veggie, he's not, ect. But personality wise, I've never met anyone so much like me. A lot of the stuff I'm going through at the moment, he went through. We're both shy and quiet, unless when we are around each other, we both have an odd sense of humor, we both have the same self-confidence and self-conscienceness, but we always manage to make the other feel better about themselves when we are down... I helped him get a job, he made me realize that having a little belly "flubber" (as I like to call it), is nothing to be ashamed of. He's amazing.

School started. He's a returning grad and will only be here for one semester. He wanted school to start because he got to see me everyday. But we both soon realized that it wasn't really the same. Guidance had messed up my schedule a lot (gave me advanced math 11 and a free, instead of advanced math 11 and 12) so me being the nerd that I was, I was stressed. They fixed it after a week, put me into IB Math, gave me a free, that he, Justin, is on, so after that, it was alright. It took some getting used to. Then Justin got hired. No big deal right? It wasn't at first, 'cause he wasn't working that often, but then his work got a new owner so he is now working constantly. His work schedule clashes horribly with my mom's work schedule. What does that have to do with it? Justin lives 15 minutes away, so usually my mom offers to do the "running" around. Like she could run to pick him up from work, he'd come over, then we'd run him home. But now, since he got more hours, whenever he is off, my mom works, and whenever my mom works, he's off. It's just starting to get very frustering. Tomorrow is going to be one of those days where he is off and my mom is working... it's just depressing... it's a perfectly good day we can spend together... we both have nothing planned... and we can't... actually, tomorrow we wanted to go see Elizabethtown (we've been looking forward to it for a month now, it finally came to our theatres Friday) and by the looks of it, Elizabethtown isn't going to be sticking around long. He works all next week except Wednesday, which is the day that my mom works. It's just depressing!!!

He's the only person who makes me happy. I want to spend as much time with him as I can. School for him ends February, hes planning on moving to an apartment here on the otherside of town, and as soon as he gets his drivers liscence, he's applying to work out on the oil fields in Alberta. Three years until I see him again.

This being my first relationship (before that, I dated a guy, but it only lasted a week and a half) I just think it's odd that I love him as much as I do this soon. After I officially started going out with him, I doubted for a couple weeks if I really liked/loved him... but the next thing I knew, hey, I really liked the guy. Now I love him. I find it odd too that we've never been in a fight/argument/whatever, nothing that made us, I don't know, re-think our relationship... we haven't even fought over something as stupid as, I don't know, what movie to see. We're both in this for the long run... it's just so hard when we can't see each other... and now knowing that he's possibly headed out west, just makes me feel horrible. When I'm not with him, I have an unbelievable amount of spare time on my hands. Tomorrow: do my ecnomonics homework and practice "Blackbird." Nothing is open either. I'm debating whether or not to go see Elizabethtown by myself, but I know I'll be crying before the movie even starts. It's just a big letdown when he tells me his work schedule. Sitting at home doing nothing is just pathitic. I know he wants to be with me, so it just makes me feel worse. I've been trying to keep myself busy... I want a job myself so I can make a bit of money, keep myself occupied, and keep my mind off of him on days like tomorrow, but you think I can get a job around here?!?!?! In this town, you gotta know the right people at the right time in order to get a job. No one is hiring. I had my hopes set high at applying to Pets Unlimited, BUT (I found this out a week ago) the owner of the store in Halifax lives in Liverpool and is moving his employees down here, so... no emplyment!!! I've been constantly fighting with my parents. My dad is hickish... lets my brother get away with murder, my mom is cranky... if you do something as simple as, I dont know, leave a dish right next to the sink, is down your throat, and my computer addicted brother is not only annoying, but violent and cranky as well. It's been like this since school started. It's just getting so hecktic. Like I said, I'm only happy when I'm with Justin. I don't really have any other friends that I can hang out with outside of school or at school... on rare occasions I do, but lately, people have been pissing me off. Why hang out with people who piss you off when you can hang out with someone who wants you there and whom you enjoy spending time with? It's just... argh!

Thanks to the people who have taken time out to read this.

I just think you're falling in love and you're in the stages of wanting to be with someone all the time - but as it often does, life gets in the way.

But think about it, if you can get through this, when it finally does become easier to see eachother (Christmas holidays etc?) you will appreciate eachother a lot more.

I know where you're coming from regarding not having much in common. My boyfriend likes wrestling shows, whereas it is my idea of hell. He also eats like, a joint of cow in one sitting. But for some reason it works. I think it sounds like you both could build up a wonderful relationship.
Good luck!! x

My opinion (and it is just that) is that you are in love. So many, many people fall in love quickly and stay there. I don't think you're too dependant. Others may seee it differenty.
