In my humble opinion,Long distance relationships DONT work,Ever. period. The time spent together is what is necessary for a relationship to work. I suppose you can try to make it work by calling each other everyday, having him visit every weekend, chatting online, sending each other letters. Whatever you do, make sure you have a reasonable amount of physical contact with him.How should someone deal with a long distance relationship?
Long distance relationships don't work!!!
breakup. it will be 2 hard. he would probably get horny %26amp; not come all the way 2 get it from you.
If you both care you can make it work


~~~Good Luck~~~
call write cards computer small gifts.
Don't waste your time. Get a local one. When you will (if) you'll need him he won't be there for you.
hmm....a usual boy would just get a new girlfriend but he seams kinda different......he probably wont do that so just keep in touch with him but not like every hour on the hour thats annoying. any way hope u 2 stay together
Girl, It will be difficult to continue a long distance relationship to be honest with you. He will continue to see you plus others. It will difficult but you can try to continue the relationship. I'm assuming you drive, go surprise him. Don't tell him you are coming so you can see what he is doing.
me and my boyfriend have been together for almost a year and a half. and most of the time we have a long distance relationship (he is in the army) and really, if he loves you and you trust him, he will not find anyone else. why would he? he has got a good girl with him now and he wont do anything like that or will he be looking for anyone else. my advice to you is set dates to see each other. talk on the phone as much as possible or the internet. e-mails if you cant talk for long. anything and everything. surprize letter in the mail jsut to say i love you. things like that.





everything will be fine :) just trust him and just spend some time together.
just like any relationship, it's based on trust! and trust means a lot of things, which includes not entertaining thoughts that he might be doing this or that, just listen to what your heart says but remain vigilant. it takes TWO to make it work, both of you must put effort to your relationship to make it work! Whether long distance or not, if one party wants to screw up, he will do it. wishing you the best.
I did the smae thing with me ex when i was the same age, we made it work for almost a year, we wrote, talked on the phone, and i would visit him with his mother when I could, sadly it did't last,not to scar you but he changed into someone I couldnt be with anymore, it wasnt a bad thing, it just happened, I think people change alot in that time of there lives, I'm sure I did to, but if you guys are very deducated to eachother then you won't have to worry about it,, write, talk, and visit when you can. He will be home to visit too. don't be insecure and give it your all if thats what you really want, and remember everything happens for a reason. I know its not easy, good luck!!!!!!! oh and 7 years later me and the EX still talk and catch up when we can.
If he finds someone else while he's away then obviously he wasn't the one for you.
It might work, but there will be to much suffering.


There will be alot of temptations and there will be to much time apart.


You both will feel lonely and heartbroken.


Why go through the trouble either engage in marriage or slowly departure from on another. Is it worth all the suffering.
Normally when I hear the term ';long-distance relationship';, I instantly think of two people who met over the internet, or some other means of communication, %26amp; then try to get familiar with each other without ever physically meeting. In those cases, I am not a strong advocate of carrying on a long-distance relationship.





I see yours as a different case. You %26amp; your bf met %26amp; bonded in the conventional way %26amp; have carried on an 'in person'; relationship for about 1 1/2 yrs now. In that time you have had enough oppourtunity to develop a strong foundation for a healthy relationship. As long as you both have the drive %26amp; desire to make it work, then it will.





There are many wonderful ways to stay in close contact with people over great distances today, %26amp; 3 hours away isn't really that far.





Look at it this way. He may or may not meet someone new while away at school. That is something that could happen, %26amp; you won't have any more control over that if he's 3 hours or 3 minutes away. If that does happen, then you will deal with it if, %26amp; when it comes, %26amp; then the relationship will be over IF THAT HAPPENS. (emphasis on IF). Now if you break up with him now because you are afraid of what MIGHT happen, then the relationship is guaranteed to end now, %26amp; not later isn't it?





Better to try to keep things going, %26amp; see if your relationship with him can withstand this minor test, than it would be to break up over what amounts to only a question at this point.
