Why do relationships have to be so hard?

[alarimer]

I thought if you really connected with someone they should be easy. I know I am not good at this stuff- something is clearly missing in my DNA or whatever. I keep thinking someday it has to get easier. There are too many things I just don't think I can deal with. He lives in another city about 100 miles away; we see each other most (but not all and lately not very many) weekends. He lives with his mother (this is new, something I do not like at all but, hey, I guess it is his business). Honestly I feel neglected right now. Maybe I am just feeling really low.

1. If they are easy, something is wrong

Relationships require work. Hard work. And lots of it.

2. Well then I think I would rather be alone.

I cannot do this anymore.
