Long Distance Relationship
Hey everyone! I am Mel and I'm 18 years old. I have a situation that is going on that is deeply deeply disturbing me...
My boyfriend is going to be leaving December of 2004. He is moving to Georgia and we both currently live in Michigan. 12 hours away! He will be there for 5 years. Anyways...We have been going out for about 5 months and this relationship is strong. The communication is awesome, as well as the trust, a whole lot of love, and mutual respect for one another. We have talked about marriage, and I honestly believe we are meant for one another. I knew that the first month we were going out. I just knew!
All of my friends are telling me to break it off. I don't want to do that. I'm so sad thinking about it. It just kills me. And I'm scared that we won't be able to handle the distance. He's very excited about going there, because he said it would be cool to be away from some things. And he promised me that I was not one of those "things." He said that while he was away he wouldn't break up with me because of another girl.
Anyways, I'm not sure what kind of advice I'm looking for. I just need something to help ease my mind. Maybe some success stories? Or just a comforting ear to listen?
Thank you everyone
