I am lost and at odds. My boyfriend of three years just left today for Ohio where he is going to law school. I couldn’t go with him because I have a year to finish in my undergrad.
How do people who have had distance in their relationships adjust. We have been living together for the past 2 years, and this change is having a major toll on me.
If you have gone through something similar how did you deal? What did you and your significant other do to keep your bond strong? Any words of Encouragement?

go visit as often as you can and lots of phone sex and sending pics back and forth
My now husband and I were just friends for 4 years. When we actually started dating he was in law school and I was working and doing grad school 1000s of miles away. Other than once a month or so and the summers, we lived apart until we got married in June (so 2.5 years of long distance). I know it is so hard!
But the upside is that you become really good at talking to each other because that is all you can do. You take fewer things for granted because you know how special it is to be together. My advice is to visit as often as you can, talk everyday, and always know when the the next time you get to see each other will be so you have something to look forward to. Have over the phone dates like playing computer games together or watching the same movie (though synchronization is a pain!). Also, keep a fairly active social calendar of your own–go out with friends and enjoy girls’ nights.
Long distance can be a good way to learn to balance a relationship, friends and your own academic career. Good luck!
Distance is not always such a big thing as people make it out to be, it’s what you make of your Circumstances that really counts. Love will find a way no matter how it may seem now. Maybe the change can be a grate thing for both of you guys, i know it may not seem that way now, but with time all things become clear, this i promise you. Me and the love of my life were distanced for almost a year and it was tough and hard, but at the same time it gave us space to grow and get to know our self’s better, that in the end of the year when he came back we were both more mature and knew what we wanted from life each other! best of luck.
