Hey guys,
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now, and we met my grade 12 year, so it was obviously not a long distance thing at first.
4 months into our relationship, though, I left to attend university a province away, while he stayed, attending college at home. Now, that wasn't bad at all, really -- no time difference, visits once or a twice a month.
However, since June, he's been on the OTHER side of the country for work, as he graduated (better opportunity in comparison to here). Originally, he had been planning to stay out there from only June - August, but he let me know in August that he wanted to stay a bit longer..
So, he came home in September-October to visit me, family, etc., and now has been back out there since October, with me visiting for a couple weeks in Dec/Jan.
He was planning on coming back at the end of the summer (upcoming one), but he's having difficulties finding a job, so it may be a while before he'll be financially stable to come back here and live (for rent and such).
We both want to make this work, but I'm just feeling down right now with not knowing how long he will possibly be away (although I am going again in April to see him)
As the title of the thread poses, how long is too long before closing the distance for you guys? Or, how long has it currently been? Also, it's really nice in general to know that I'm not the only one in LDR... everyone here has been giving me crap about it (why don't you find someone there etc etc), and although this is my first post, it's nice to know I'm not alone
(hopefully this all made sense... had an 8:30 class with little sleep. i'm tired )
