Hi Sky,
It sounds as if you and this man have spent at least several years caring for one another. I cannot put the time line together but you have allowed enough time for your feeling to take root and ‘know’ how you feel, it seems to me.

Long Distance is tough… I am in one now. I know there is no one else I would rather spend my life with so I hold on.

Do you feel this way? Do you love him completely?

You have suffered emotionally with Bi Polar and you have struggled through and have made a life for yourself!

You deserve happiness and a good man if that is what you want.

I know our parents and family color our world so much. I believe though, that having a certain job or income level is not as important as having the emotional closeness and loving feelings and respect that make a relationship wonderful and lasting.

So, if you love him, call him and talk to him about your feelings.

If he still feels the same then you might be on your way to a wonderful relationship. If it’s too much for him to handle because of the past then you can put closure on it once and for all.

But don’t let this go without a follow up. You will always wonder what if…

Be sure if you can, before you contact him, that you are truly interested though, because he may just be getting some closure and you don’t want to keep him in turmoil.

I wish you well.
