Love him but not in love anymore?
we’ve been long distance for 2 years now… he’s in seoul finishing med school, i’m in la working at my dad’s clinic. everyone assumes we’re getting married — his parents, my mom, even my little sister joked about when i’m moving to korea. but lately i just feel… empty. i miss him, yeah, but when he talks about coming back next year, i don’t get that excited feeling. just pressure. we talk every night but it’s like clockwork — “how was work?” “miss you” “love you” — and then silence. i used to save little stories for him, now i just scroll past his texts sometimes. my mom said i’m being selfish, that love isn’t just about feelings, it’s duty. but is it? or am i just scared of letting everyone down? i still care about him. i do. but i don’t know if that’s enough anymore… maybe i’m the problem
