My boyfriend and I were together a measly 3 months before he had to leave for school, and we were thrown into a long distance relationship.
It's now been 13 months and we're still fine. You just have to put a lot of commitment in, talk a lot (or at least communicate), and be understanding. Think about the outcome in the future.
sherpahigh, you rock. My boyfriend and I are trying to pull off the same thing you had to go through. For the next four years, we'll be 4 hours apart for two weeks at a time, except for summers. I'm glad to know SOMEONE has done it.
Thanks.
