Well after thinking about it all day yesterday, I decided to tell him as soon as I saw him. You’re right, that would have been very selfish and I would have felt really bad waiting to tell him–I felt bad enough not telling him on the phone and waiting to tell him in person.
I was worried because he had spent a week planning a romantic night and I didn’t want to disappoint him. But as I got there I quickly realized that wasn’t important at all. We talked about it all night and he took it much better than I thought he would (although still very stressed out) and we’re going to try to figure out what to do together. Neither of us slept because we were too anxious about it. I’m sure we’re going to have many more sleepless nights, though. This is going to be very difficult for both of us. Distance and our jobs being huge factors.
Thanks for the advice 😳
