Mackenzie answered Sunday May 22 2005, 5:41 am: You failed to mention youR age in this question, which complicates things a bit, since I don't know what I'm dealing with heRe. HoweveR, if you claim to "love" him so much, I would PRAY you can AND do tRust him! And since you caRe so much foR him, I HOPE to deaR God you've Realized you shouldn't be giving youR heaRt away someone who isn't willing to give you theiRs. If you'Re staRting to have doubts though, you definitely need to talk this oveR with him. Long distance Relationships aRe extRemely tough foR EVERYONE, let alone young teenageRs. Make shoRe to let him know that you Really *DO* caRe about him, but the distance is too gReat. Bottom line, you simply CAN NOT stay in a Relationship just because ONE paRtneR doesn't want it to end. You need to do what's best foR YOU!! And if THAT is bReaking up with youR cuRRent boyfRiend.. then so be it. PeRhaps it'll be a betteR thing than you weRe expecting. You guys could end up missing out on something that might veRy well be extRemely wondeRful; it's simply unfaiR to you BOTH. Just bRing those points up to him - I'm shoRe he will undeRstand wheRe you'Re coming fRom on this. I wish you the best!! Hopefully I've helped in SOME way! =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

tearsintherain08 answered Saturday May 21 2005, 11:49 pm: My advice to you is if you really love this guy then just call,write,email, or text message him. I'm sure if you both love each other then you will find a way to stay together. And if he don't wanna try to..then hun he isn't worth your time.

SiLenTxfAiRy answered Saturday May 21 2005, 11:26 pm: break it off. even though you really love him. love can last - wait till your older or when he is able to come down and visit you. stay really good friends and talk everyday and tell eachother everything but dont hold the committment of 'boyfriend, girlfriend' because there will be alot of temptions along the way if you do so. good luck :) [ SiLenTxfAiRy's advice column | Ask SiLenTxfAiRy A Question ]

HyperactiveMiss answered Saturday May 21 2005, 11:07 pm: It totally depends on you. I can't choose for you, but I'll try and give you some options and reasons.
I don't think anyone likes a long distance relationship. It's really hard because they are so far away.
If you really love him a lot and you really do know him, you will not worry about who he meets. Love is based on trust, and you can't worry about these little things all the time. Sometimes distance can bring a relationship even closer. Weird, but true. How? The distance can make the both of you realize how much you really love each other. The distance can prove that the two of you are truely faithful to each other. Things like that.
This partly depends on your age. If you think you can get through this situation until you are able to move in together or something, you should hold on. If that option is out of reach (for example, you have like 5 years until you would be able to move in together, etc), then you should break up with him. He doesn't have to be your everything. There will be another out there for you. Another thing about age is if you guys are too young to handle this type of thing, he might cheat on you (hormones), or it might cause some emotional problems, or something. That's why including your age helps sometimes.
The thing about long distance relationships is that you won't be seeing each other much. This can be really hard to deal with. Heck, lots of couples miss each other, even if it's just for a weekend. If you decide this long distance relationship can't work out, just break up with him gently. It's best to either break up with him now than wait because the longer you wait the more it will hurt.
KatLynn answered Saturday May 21 2005, 10:41 pm: Long distance relationships can be tough. Next Fall I'm going to be at school in Indiana while my boyfriend is staying in Texas. What I suggest is stay together for the summer and see how things go when he starts school. If things get too hard then you can end it. Make sure he knows that you trust him.
