She absolutely hates my guts. However the feeling's mutual, he's my friend and all, but the perks a friendship has over a relationship is it's expiry date. You can't love someone you met online so much so that you'd stay with them all the way, right?

Honestly, we live in a society where marriage via love is slightly controversial, and they're in different countries for crying out loud. He's my friend and all, and as much as I want him to be happy I can't if it's affecting my own happiness.
(Simply put, I may not be the first one to bawl my eyes out if they break up ( )z )

Long term relationships NEVER work. Especially, ones that you get from the internet and shit — I mean, there could be someone totally different from their internet persona.

And anyway, if she can't respect his choice of friends, I don't she can respect him altogether.

From what I have seen she's legit. They talk over skype and ugh...Snapchat...each other...(Did I use that term correctly?)
I did have the chance to talk to her on several occasions, didn't turn out well, I'm tellin' ya. My friend, her boyfriend and I got in a fight one time because his brother showed me a picture of her, when I was cool when he took a photo of me for her to see without her permission.

She seems like a real oily, bitter person — hell, she could even be a manipulator of sorts. Puppeteering that dumb sod like a rag doll.

I think I've got it figured out. I blame our society, where as I have mentioned before, as it's look on dating and the general distance guys are supposed to keep from girls isn't anything to laugh at. Some parents will severely punish their children if they found them in a relationship such as this.

We've told him, at first we were nice to him, but remember the gift thing? To this day I still pester him about it. I've been in a state of suspicion for a while, but it's dragged on for quite a while now...you don't think I should still keep my guard up, do you? (Not that I'm okay with this crap to begin with!)

... woof

Also Elephantom, it was prob a typo but I think you meant 'long distance' not 'long term'?

Kinda agree with that but to be completely realistic, it's not that far. Sure, they're separated by sea (and I think you can eventually get there with a car if you drive far enough) but you never know what love may do, no matter how delusional it is.

Listen I'm not sure how old you guys are but as long as he's not a 'kid' and isn't doing anything over the top then it's his cross to bear.
Your intentions seem good (with a smidgen of malcontent which is pretty normal) but if it manages to last longer than a few months then you might have to start coming to terms that he chose to be with her (maybe?Shrug.)

Idk the details but sometimes you've got to play with the hand you're dealt.

I don't think he's got the balls to do anything over the line. idk sure it's just your average teenager relationship but I'd doubt it his father's gonna stay quiet if he does manage to do anything. I must have not been clear enough to point that I was talking about the future, given they even manage to muster a relationship that strong.

However you're not wrong, I do like the way you phrased it. I've been kinda living with the fact for a while now, sure I may still get pissed from time to time...yesterday for example, we're playing soccer and the idiot's hanging around the back texting (Guess who?). Our team wasn't that strong to begin with, but hey, could at least try...

As someone who's partaken in 'long distance relays' I can assure you that after the 3r... 4t... 5th one! He'll get a better hang of managing relations online and offline.

With regards to sucking at soccer ... I'm afraid that's a terminal case and you as well give up all hope.

( ; - It's fine, I have accepted that fact a long time ago. (Not that I even like soccer that much.) But that's what I get for trying to exercise...Which reminds me...I may have popped my bicycle's back tire on the way back. Wasn't fun, but I'll have to get it replaced soon. ( )

Or... perfect time to practice your unicycle skills.

Speaking of that, how do people do that? People who ride unicycles deserve much more credit than they get. I've tried driving without touching the handles, had some success, but quickly stopped after that one time I almost fell into a puddle.

You mean riding sans hands?
It's not that tough if you practice. First you cycle one-handed and then slowly ease up. Took me a month to do that. No if that extends to uni-cycling though. Never had the chance to ride one.
