Talking In the same boat...

Hey Cherry I'm in the same boat as you are. My fiance and I have been in the same situation now for about a year and a half (we've been together 2 years). I contemplated going to live out in Colorado with him (I'm from the southeast), but the out of state tuition there is ungodly expensive. So I decided to stick it out here instead. Honestly, I feel like I'd be giving up a lot by moving out there right now, and not just financially. Like it or not, life threw us a curveball and we have the perfect opportunity to see if we can work through it. It definitely sucks, but it's not the worst thing in the world. If two people can make it being apart, they can certainly make a relationship work being together. Just be sure to weigh the pros and cons, and make sure you aren't the one making all the sacrifices-- if something did happen to your relationship after you moved, would you still be happy on your own? Unlike Eric, however, I have known quite a few folks who have made long distance relationships work-- Just don't take people's word for it, look at your own relationship and how it has progressed.
As far as the sex, make lists of naughty ideas you come up with to experiment with next time you are together... the anticipation will almost kill you, but it'll definitely be worth it when you are together again. I know you guys can make it work--
Best of luck from a fellow college student in L.D.Relationship stress,
Kate
