I feel lonely as my boyfriend is far away

I’m in college and recently broke up with my ex-boyfriend and started a new relationship with a guy who works in another state. When I was with my ex, we met every day and he was great company. Now though I’m in a new relationship, I feel lonely as my boyfriend is far away. I’ve tried staying in touch with friends but it’s not working. Now I wonder if I did the right thing when I broke things off with my ex. I’m not sure I know what love is, help!

answer:
I’m not sure you know what love is either. Perhaps you are mistaking it for company? Maybe you just don’t want to be on your own and so clutch at anything, anyone, to avoid that? As you probably now know, that isn’t love. It’s just neediness. Maybe you are missing your ex because he provided constant company? If that is all you want, find some new friends. It might be best, if you can bear it, to have no boyfriend for a while; get to know yourself, and then emerge stronger, more self-sufficient and independent. For it’s only when you know you can rely upon yourself that you are able to make the best choices.
