ESL Podcast 221 – Long Distance Relationships
时间：2019-01-31 作者：英语课 分类：地道美语播客
I met Diana last year when we were both working in New York City for the summer. I’m finishing college in California 1 and Diana started her first job in Florida. Talk about a bicoastal relationship! We spent three great months together and we’ve been trying to maintain 2 a long distance relationship ever since. It’s been really hard and I had a talk about it with my friend, Emily, who just got out of a relationship like this.
Enrique: I’m always worried that for her, it’s out of sight, out of mind.
Emily: I know what you mean, but is it that way with you?
Enrique: No, not at all. I think about her all the time. It’s not that there aren’t temptations 3, but I’m committed 4 to Diana.
Emily: Don’t you get the same vibe from her?
Enrique: Sometimes I do, but a lot of times I don’t. It’s so easy to get into a fight on the phone. We have misunderstandings all the time or I hurt her feelings without realizing it. And plus, I’m still in school and she’s already out working, and it seems like we’re growing apart.
Emily: That’s what happened with Theo and me. We grew apart and we had less and less in common. After a year, we called it quits.
Enrique: I hope that’s not what Diana wants. I’ve got to have it out with her. If she wants to end this, then I’ll just have to deal with it.
Emily: It’s always better to know where you stand. Let me know how it goes.
Enrique: Sure. See you later.
