People say thats it's really hard to keep a long relationship and it is but you dont need to listen to other people just focus on you two not others stay faithful. Hope this helps!

But you do realize that sometimes you have to move on in your life, especially if he is somewhere else moving on you should to. Also if u want to keep the relationship you can write letters to him, email him, Aim him, call him. You can do alot. I hope everything works out for you.

until then, write lots of letters & emails. talk on the phone a lot, and use IM to talk too. and trust your boyfriend. if he's stayed with you this long, i doubt he wants anybody else. a relationship is nothing without trust, honesty & communcation. and love of course.

christina answered Tuesday February 13 2007, 11:56 pm: I know how you feel. My boyfriend's a soldier & he's currently in Iraq. When he wasn't there, he was at a base in North Carolina. I live in New York. It's hard for me. If you've been dating your boyfriend for a long time, and you really love him, then trust him. If you think he's gonna leave you for someone else, you have no trust in him. Trust, honesty & communication are three of the main things you need to keep a relationship going, besides love, of course. I'm pretty sure in the three years you guys have been together, he doesn't want anyone else. If he did, he would've left you a long time ago. You're with him, and he's with you. Be happy with that.
As for distance, just keep in touch. Talk as much as possible on the phone, write letters, email, IM whatever you need to do, do it. I'm sure your relationship will be fine. If you guys are under 18, then I suggest you get jobs so when you guys turn 18, he can come back up there, or you can go down there & get an apartment together. =) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
LoveNJstyle answered Tuesday February 13 2007, 11:39 pm: oh man! well, my bf and I are no currently in a long distance relationship. we weren't together as long as you two have been before it happened & we're working through it. we're 10 hours away. indiana to illinois isn't a terribly long distance. if you guy really love each other, you can probably stay together. talk about it.. mae plans for the future. there are tons of ways to stay in touch now... cell phones/texting/im/myspace/online journals/mail love journals, etc. just tell yourself that it will happen if it's meant to be. it could be worse and he could be going to iraq with the chance of you never seeing him again. try and stay positive and enjoy the time you have left together. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
