I am a believer that if you really love someone, distance will strain the relationship but not break it. I was with a guy who moved provinces away from me and I only got to see him during summer due to his hockey career. We stayed together for two years, so it can work out if you work at it.Nothing in love is easy right? but its worth it for the right person

I have been in the same situation before I thought it would be the hardest thing to do but in the end are relationship got stronger he came down almost every weekend so it wasn't that bad but we communicated lots on the phone and everything was ok. Of course you will miss him but when you'll see him you'll be even happyer. It all depends on your relationship with him, you both have to make it work. Good Luck!!!

I think you just have to be honest with each other... some people love the sound of uni because they get to date/ get around. I know that sounds terrible but you definitely should make sure that both your intentions are to stay education focused and that way when some one comes along that distracts you from your goals and you boyfriend/ girlfriend... stick to your own plans... and on another note.. if some one comes along that is better suited to you or your bf/gf, make sure you dont begrudge them for doing what they think is right. its going to be a battle but take it one day at a time.

Again, why are plans not being made to eventually get together with the person in a new city? If you really do love the person that much get them to move in with you, or go move in with them.

I think long distance relationships really depend on the two people involved and how long they have been involved for. I mean, if its a serious, commited relationship where both of you are in it for the long haul, I could definitely see trying to maintain that same relationship no matter the distance. I just think that things will change a lot during university, we will change a lot from the experience so its really important that both of you trust eachother and are on the same page..because growing apart does happen and university seems like the optimal setting for it. Its a really subjective topic I think.

If you really do love the person that much get them to move in with you, or go move in with them. Why sacrifice your education to live with your boyfriend/girlfriend straight out of high school? If the school you want to go to is six hours away from the school that he/she wants to go to then why not deal with a long-distance relationship and come out with the education you want and a stronger relationship (hopefully)..? I don't see for someone to go to a school that they don't want to go to or live live in a town they don't want to live in just to live with their boyfriend or girlfriend - that would almost be worse than being away from them for so long. And what if it doesn't work out? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

I think that long distance relationships can totally work, assuming you were together for a long time before one of you leaves. It takes a serious amount of love and trust to keep it together.

I think definitely, long distance relationships can last. iF both people are equally committed and neither of you are jealous people, and if there's a light at the end of the tunnel (ie. a time limit on the how long you'll be apart) long distance can work for sure
