Advice... long distance relationship ?

my boyfriend and i have been dating for 5 years now. we did the long distance this for 6 months a year into our relationship. I then moved in with him and his 4 best guy friends. long story short now i have to move back home to go to school and he wont be coming. we both agree on this decision. but just the thought of us have a long distance relationship again is breaking my heart already, and i dont leave till another 4 months. It wasnt a good experience last time we tried the long distance thing. i will be going to school for a good 3 years at least. i dont know if i can go that long without living in the same town as him. we will be 6 hours away.. any advice of similar stories to share would be great.Advice... long distance relationship ?
If you both want your relation to continue, you both will have to travel 3 hours and meet somewhere in between. I know some friends who are married for 20 years now, they are married and live in different countries, high positions in their respective companies and no children, they manage to meet somewhere in between, visit each other in their respective countries, go to vacations together and it works although everyone had said it wouldn't work when they accepted the positions they are in. But it takes two, to really want something to go on and two, ready to sacrifice a few things. Good luck.Advice... long distance relationship ?
Its never a easy task to hold a long distance relationship but you can still visit him or have him visit you. on Holidays etc or even weekends and if a relationship can survive through long distance then there really isnt a better kind of relationship. Just be strong for each other and make sure you can at least talk on the phone often as its not as good as being there but it helps.
well honey there relationships that have been going on for long time even over seas relationships have there problems you both have to be strong if you want to last keep contact strong call email even post cards yes hes 6hours away but if he cares about you he will wait for but dont be surprised if you and him drift apart this happens just hope and pray you both get thru this bye good luck
I mean if you want to see him then go on grayhound or something, and then maybe it'll be better? I guess. Btw I was 22 hrs from my girl and I came here for school for her.
girl i was in a long distance relationship for 7 months and it's not fun. the only thing that kept us together was that i got to see him 1-2 times and month and the times that we were together were worth the 2 weeks i was alone and i didn't get to talk to him but 1-2 times a week either. it finally got to the point to where i would see him once a month and i'd only hear from him whenever he'd call to come over and then he ignored me half the time he was here. plus he was trying to cheat on me so i finally broke up with him. i wish you more luck with your guy than what i had with mine. just stay in touch and call him, email him and you guys should be fine.
Have the best time in these four months.


You both seem to be in a pretty solid relationship with each other so i wouldn't worry, as long as you're still willing to work for it which i guess you are. There's always phone, email, all sorts of ways of staying in contact. 3 years seems a long time but it'll be a great 3 years of your life as you'll meet all sorts of new friends so it may fly by. You need to do your own thing though so it's kind of good to get some space as you can gain life experience. I'm sure you two will do all you can to visit each other and keep it going so try not to worry too much even though it is a hard thing to move away. Good luck!
