Im really thankful that i have him in my life, theres just one minor glitch.. hes leaving for the airforce this april.. we love eachother and want to stay together.. he'd have holidays of course.. and christmas and while im in my final year of high school and plan on going to university i will have something to take my mind of him, ive never been the type to need another to feel complete.. but i would like someone elses advice.. after all he might not like it and would wanna come home.. but im a little lost as to what i should do i want to stay with him no doubt..

Please help!! Thankyou =]

I agree with S-Majere. My boyfriend and I go to different universities...which are three provinces and hours apart (he goes to Toronto, I'm in Vancouver).

The first few weeks are hard. I've been there. You're always going to be constantly thinking about him, and all the times you've spent together. Seeing couples can be painful. Just the idea of knowing that he's not with you is painful.

The not being able to hold hands, hug, kiss or see him will start to get to you after a few months. Webcams are awesome invention...webcamming with my boyfriend always makes me feel like I'm with him. It certainly seem to cut the distance by a lot. Talk a lot. Be it online, email, phone or snail mail, COMMUNICATE. Make a genuine effort to talk a bit everyday...and have a nice long talk once per week. More if you guys can work out the times. Have online dates. Call each other--unlimited evenings and weekends are your friends...so are phone cards. And of course, make the most of your time together =)

As long as you both have the desire, and put in the effort, a long distance relationship is not impossible.
