Just got out of a long-distance relationship a while back. I had decided to move away (I mean FAR-- like 6500+ km) to go to school. The seperation destroyed us, and we had been together for 4 years.
A long distance relationship is all of the problems without any of the benefits. Except the problems are intensified 100 fold. I'm not saying it CAN'T be done, so I would never discourage anyone from trying. But it will be extremely costly, and take a LOT of work. I for one simply didn't have the time to commit, with my studies and everything else. She wasn't able to commisserate. She felt I had abandoned her. But the fact that the relationship failed is certainly as much my fault as hers (maybe more).
So, that's just my two bits, coming from a guy who lost the girl he loved (and thought he was going to marry) because of distance. If you can work things differently for your situation, I honestly wish you the best.
