19/M My girlfriend and I broke up, awhile back, and my fam and I moved to an island I Love, but right after moving , my girl and I got back together and were even more in love, she is incredible! Problem is, she's on the mainland US, I'm here. My family's here, and were really close. It is SO hard to be away from either. My girl is everthing to me, but everything else I love is here. I really don't like anything else about living there on the mainland. But I can't stand being away from her. I don't know what to do anymore, any help or advice would be great! Thank you!

MacB23 answered Tuesday January 5 2010, 6:56 am: Ahhhh the infamous LDR (for those unaware LDR = Long Distance Relationship =P). You can't deny your love for your family and the island you live on (which I'm guessing is one of the beautiful islands of Hawaii? =)). At the same time you can't deny the love you share with your girlfriend. So what do you do? Don't worry, you're not alone. There are many people out there who are going through the difficulties of trying to make a LDR work. LDRs are truly difficult sometimes. However, that doesn't mean that they can't work. Whatever the case may be, it sounds like you and your girlfriend have a pretty strong bond, strong sense of love in general. This is great because a love like that can (not to sound cheesy =P) literally overcome a lot. The situation you both are in can, and will be, pretty tough. But you know what? I'm sure a love like yours can get through this. You'll both find a way to make things work if your love is true. Trust in your family. I'm sure your family can provide you with a lot of support and help as well. At the same time, think of this not as a hindrance or problem but more like a goal that you and your girlfriend can work towards. Maybe both you and your girl can work towards living together on the island? Or maybe down the line you'll both come to some compromise. Either way, stay strong and I'm sure everything will work out.

My son absoultly adores him. We got married and have a baby of our own on the way. You are 19 so I am sure you know what love it. but what were the reasons the two of you broke up. would she consider moving. My husband would never move away from his family unless he had a gaurntee job. and even then i dont know if id want to anymore. I think if you are truely in love with her go for her. but family is something you cant live with out. you have to weigh out the decisons the pros and cons of each living situation and see if shed come to you. maybe you to could work out being friends.
