long distance relationship

[smilesalot]

hi. i was hoping for some advice. I am in a serious relationship with a great guy but the thing is that he lives 8 hours away from me. I knew going into this relationship that he was going to be moving and accepted this without a fight. I still dove head first into this relationship. I have been majorly depressed as of late and i can't figure out why. i recently spent 9 days with him and they were great but since i got back it feels like my world is falling apart. I love him so much and don't want to end this relationship but i honestly don't know if i can handle the distance.

anyone who could give me any advice would be appreciated. thanks so much

This may be a dumb question...

...but is moving close to him out of the question?

is there anything stopping you from moving there?

Awww....

I had a *very* long distance relationship with Mr. Bri for about two years before we settled on the same continent. It's extremely difficult.

Is moving to where he is not a possibility? What are the circumstances?

Remember that keeping in touch is very important. All the little emails, the phone calls, the pressies in the post--they count. I happen to believe that a couple is far better off with that sort of ongoing communication, even many miles apart, than the many couples who live together but are so busy they lose touch.

But, to make it work, you both have to be very mature and quite committed. If you're young, it may prove too difficult

well considering that i have a year of college left it is pretty much out of the question. i doubt my parents would approve and since they are footing the bill for college they pretty much have say in where i go to school

HONEY!

A year?!?!?

Sugar, that's nothing. You'll be fine. Goodness, one year!

People lived in Nazi extermination camps and survived for years on end, never knowing when, if, or how it might end. If they can do that, you can do anything for a year. (And no, I don't take the Nazi regime lightly, so put away your flame throwers, y'all.)

You have a graduation date. Buy a calendar, tick off the days, and you will make it.

i know it's not that long but it feels like an eternity!

 

[DarlingBri]

Yes, but...

It's not. The end is in sight
