My boyfriend and I have been together for a bit over fourteen months. I'm 18, and he's 19. We had been going out for only three or four months before he had to go away to college, while I was stuck in our home town still in high school. I got to see him every other weekend. So basically, I got one and a half days with him every two weeks. He lived three and a half hours away. Not only this, but when he DID come home, we couldn't really fool around (a normal part of a healthy relationship) because his family is super religious, and my dad is conservative/my mum is nosy. So sex gets put on hold- Keep that in mind, because I've read in some of your other posts about having sex all the time with your girlfriend.

We are going to continue to do this for at least two more years, and then we are semi-planning to live together.

Obviously, we're still going out, and our relationship is stronger than ever. Yes, it takes sacrificing other women, and her sacrificing other men. Frankly, that shouldn't be hard if you want commitment.

It takes sacrifice, basically, but ultimately, you end up with someone that will give you advice, love you no matter what, and lots and lots of memories- good and bad.
