I think I have lost my true love over this... I was meant to move in with my long distance boyfriend but when I got to the airport, I started having second thoughts and in the end I got cold feet and instead of getting on the plane I turned tail and went home instead. I explained everything to my now (I fear) ex boyfriend but he's really mad at me and isn't talking to me.

IT is normal for you to get cold feet or feel frightened. It is a very very big step. Anyone would have cold feet. But not everyone would have cold feet at that time, kind of too late don't you think? I mean you're already in the airport and your paRTner's hopes are sky high! Maybe that's the highest reason for him to be pissed off. He'll understand if you're not ready yet, give him time. Nevertheless, you made a choice, and everything happens for a reason. Face the consequences, and who knows, maybe they are good consequences??? Goodluck(^^,)

Did you get your money back? That's an awful lot of money to blow. He'll probably forgive you for it after a while...but I'd be mad too if someone ditched me like that.

Sometimes cold feet mean something - like a niggling feeling that you shouldn't be doing this. But sometimes cold feet is just a more generalized fear of getting too close to someone and getting hurt. Search your heart and figure out if you're nervous about the situation with your BF, or if you have a pattern of avoiding too much closeness or have a fear of getting hurt by someone close to you. I hope that you figure things out, and that you BF can be understanding either way!

Give him some time and hopefully he'll be more understanding. If he truly loves you, he will understand what happened :)
