    Very new to my LDR.

    Hello everyone! So, I'm two weeks into my long distance relationship. I'm 21 years old and my BF is 23. We've only been together since June but we fell for each other quickly even though we both knew I was leaving to go away to school in September. We both felt as though it was worth it to keep the relationship alive. These past two weeks have been difficult. I've cried myself to sleep every single night, not only about not being with my BF but about being in a different state and not really knowing anyone yet. It's a difficult transition and the LDR adds that much more pain to the situation.

    It's been two weeks and we've already written to each other twice, we skype for 2-3 hours a night. Sometimes we leave the skype on and we fall asleep next to each other and we wake up next to each other. Skype is amazing, it helps so much. But I just want to physically be in his arms. I am going home to visit next weekend from the 27th-30th and although I am excited, I am sad. I don't want to have to say good-bye again.

    The factor that makes this most difficult is not knowing how long I am going to be away for. I might hate being away and decide to come home in December, or I might love it and decide to stay for the next 3 years until I graduate. And furthermore, I want to be honest and not let the relationship be the deciding factor in whether I come home or not.

    I appreciate everything that everyone has to say and I'm desperate for any advice in this situation. Thank you in advance!!

    Well, welcome to LFAD! You'll get used to being at a distance. That doesn't mean it sucks less, but you'll get used to it more. We all want to be with our SOs as badly as you do, and we all know how tough it is to say good bye. But you've got to keep going. Sometimes you might cry from missing him... other times you might feel just fine the way things are. It's a long and rocky road. However, you are not alone in your plight.

    It is good that you are taking a step back and making decisions based on what's best for you rather than what's best for your relationship. I like to see that people are not sacrificing their ambitions for their relationships. Visits are not out of the question, though!

      Welcome! Skype IS wonderful isn't it? And saying good bye is so hard.. We had one good bye that was so difficult that I started considering never seeing him again so I would never have to say good bye again... turned out THAT was more difficult than the good byes themselves!
