A female Brazil age 30-35, *annedDoll writes:

Me and my boyfriend have been together for a year. We are both 18 years old. Unfortunately, my parent will soon have to move to another country due to their work.. Our relationship is very serious. He is a good guy and I would accept him as my husband vice versa. We talked about marriage.. but I'm still not sure. We won't see each other for at least 1-2 years. I know that long distance relationship is hard because he was away for 2 months so I know how it feels.

He told me not to think about our relationship when I leave but I'm nervous about it. I don't want him to have other girlfriends when we are apart.. Is that possible? We both want it to be..

I need advice.. What kind of relationship should we keep when I leave?

Long distance relationships are definitely manageable! It takes time and tons of dedication from each side to make them work. But they can succeed! I've been in a long distance relationship since I was 18 (I'm 20 now), so I know exactly how hard they can be when you're young...and all you want to do is spend your time together. Since you're in the 18-21 range, have you thought of going to the same school as your boyfriend if you really are serious about your relationship? If that isn't possible, investing in webcams for the both of you is definitely worth it! Being able to see each other every night is a luxury made possible by webcams! 1-2 years seems long now... but it'll be worth it if you really love each other and are serious about your futures with each other.

At the same time, please keep in mind that you are young and that people change. This 2 year break will definitely test your relationship. If you guys make it through, your relationship will be stronger than ever. If it doesn't, you will have learned more about yourself, about what you want out of life and of a partner. I wish you the best of luck!

Any relationship can be made to work, as long as you both communicate with, have respect for, and love the other.

As far as I can see, you have two options:

a) agree that both of you will be exclusive and loyal. Communicate as much as possible and actively look for ways to be together.

b) suspend your relationship, and agree that it's okay for either of you to date again. Communicate as much as possible.

It really depends on how things turn out- there may be a bit of trial and error before you decide which choise works best.
