Chris (see what I did there), an honest post on trials forum, feeling okay. I'll try and give advise but you know what I'm like with women so probably best to ignore it. If she's okay with the distance then that should make you feel a little better, plus your dissertation will fill up all of that spare time. If she feels guilty that she can't reciprocate the travelling and spending thing then just let her know that it really doesn't bother you and that you couldn't give two flying munkee's if she bought you stuff or not. Let her know that visiting her isn't going out of your way as your visiting the 'rents anyway (although dont make it sound as though your only stopping by because of the 'rents). That might make you feel better, or I may have ruined you. Kool Chain out
