So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
I was just wondering what concerns do you have about her being in a sorority?
Writing it out here, might help to sort out your concerns about her.
I think being in a sorority is a perfectly normal part of being in college. She will make some new girl friends.
Even if a person is not in a sorority, there could be alcohol, guys, parties... I think this is all part of college life. Even outside of college, just in every day life, there will always be temptations. Just going to a grocery store or running errands, getting take out food... anywhere. So, I don't think her college or her sorority are the issue here.
If you trusted her before this, then there's no reason not to trust her now.
It depends how you two were before you both left for college.... did you both agree not to see other people, not go on dates with anyone else, etc?
How often will you two be able to get together in person?
LDR's can be challenging. But they can work. Both people have to be fully committed to making it work.
What do you think?
We agreed to be exclusive and be 100% loyal.
We should get to see each other once every month or two for a weekend, but with the holidays were together for most of December. I basically just am nervous about it.
Has there been any issues with her and any other guys in the last 2 years? Because if not, then I don't think you need to worry about anything.
Best thing you can do is to be confident, and not show that you are concerned about her going to this party or that function.... etc. Tell her "Hope you have a great time!"
I do get what you're saying though..... and I am telling you from experience, that if you start asking questions about who is this guy in the photo, did you talk to any guys, were you drinking..... It doesn't help anything and the other person feels like you don't trust them.....
I mean if you think about it this way - What can you do, really? If she makes a choice to do something you don't like, you can't stop her from doing it. She will make her own choices. No one will force her to do something she doesn't want to do.
Be supportive, act happy, be confident.
