text: endling a long distance relationship.? okay, so i live 9 hours away from my girlfriend. she is always complaining that she never gets to see me, because i live so far away, obviously. i always tell her when i will see her next, and i keep my word, and go see her. but its expensive, and now i'm going to school and i don't have time to drive for 9 hours to see her.   i want to break up with her. i don't want to break up with her over the phone, because i know you're not supposed to do that. but i don't have the money to go and see her in person to do it, i'm in college and completely broke.  so how do i do it? do i just say its not working out, and its time for it to end? she says shes in love with me, but i'm not in love with her, and i've never told her that i love her  (because to do so would be a lie).  i just wish there were some way to do this without hurting her, but i guess i've come to realize that no matter what, i'm going to hurt her, and there is no easy way to do this.  man this sucks. suck it up be a man and tell her how you feel. or, call the newspaper, print your obit and have a friend mail it to her.
