text: why do i get a butterfly effect in my stumach when my girlfriend leaves? i have a girlfriend we been going out for about 6 months she will soon be leaving washington state, i love her alote. everytime she goes to eastern washington and she hasn't called me or tect me on my cell phone for ahwile like a day i get in a way depressed and bord, i allways wants to be with her all the time. when she goes to eastern washington i get a butterfly in my stumach all the time aswell. do i need to find a new girlfriend? if so how do i find one and get one, i get to lonly way fast now days. sounds like you have it bad for her. all i can suggest is as long as it is to be a long distance relationship, write her an email every day...... no more than one, unless she responds.... telling her how your day went, how much you miss her, what you miss about her........ it will help. then find some guys, and go play basketball, or video games....... anything to take your mind off her. otherwise, talk to her, see how she feels about you...... make sure your both on the same page, for if she is trying to push away, now would be the time to make the break, no matter how painful! good luck!
