I'm going off to college in a week and I have to leave my boyfriend of a year behind. We very recently started having sex and I hate to leave him, not only that but I've fallen very hard. Any good or bad stories about long distance relationships? I don't want to screw this one up! Thanks
don't put little faith in it, keep up the relationship and if its meant to be, it can sustain the distance. you could even listen to aint no mountain high enough by the good old marvin gaye!
From an older man? NO! Long Distance relationships don't work. That ugly animal, "Infidelity" always shows his face. ALWAYS! Even after 15 years together.
A friend of mine and her b/f have been together for about 6 months-and he moved to Texas about a year ago-She lives in PA! There still goin strong...so they can work, i guess, for certain people.
I'm not really trying to start anything with anyone that has said that they dont agree with you here, but this is just my opinion: we cannot tell you what you should do, you need to find that yourself, ask yourself if you like this guy enough to stay with him, even though the long distance relationship WILL be harder than a normal one. you may not see him as much, but if you wanted to look at it optimistically you can tell yourself that it'll make the times you're with him MUCH more special. for instance: i had a girlfriend who i saw everyday, she was absolutely amazing, and went on vacation for a whole summer. we still talked every night on the phone like we used to, but it was definantly a bit depressing not having her there everyday like she used to. then when she came back, it was awesome, everything was better, and i just appreciated the relationship SO much more. since we saw eachother every day i took lots of little things for granted, and it just made me so much more aware of all the little things, and once i could see them all better i was amazed that i missed out on them for so long. ack, i dont even know if im making sense now, lol, sorry. i think what im trying to say is that we cant really tell you whats best to do in your specifit relationship. i suggest talking to your boyfriend, because im sure that he's asking himself the same questions, and maybe it'll help you make your decision. okay, i'll shut up now, i hope this helped somehow, prolly wont
I think it can be done if u really want it to. Its just not easy but if it works out when ur finaly togther again the trust between u 2 will be amazing. Good luck hun
i just got in a long distance relationship. its wonderful. my situation is different tho, cause we've not gotten to know each other off the net or phone yet. (10 months!). i think if you keep understanding each other and believing in what you got, then it will work out for both of you. and one of my best friends has been in a long distance relationship similar to yours (they knew each other in person first) for over a year now, and its still working out wonderfully. i hope that gives you hope.
Thanks! Actually this did really help. I suppose I was just nervous. Today was the last day we'll see each other for a few weeks until Labor Day weekend so we'll see how things go. I love this forum! you guys are great
