I disagree because I am in the exact same situation. My boyfriend will be going to University in a city an hour and a half away, two years before I go to university in the city I am in now. We have been dating for one year now and when he leaves we will have been dating for almost two and a half years.

We have agreed to make it work--no matter what. We are mature enough to solve our problems as we go along and talk everything through. We have also agreed to see each other at least once a week (which we both believe is needed to stay together) and call alot (maybe everyday--we haven't decided yet). If you love each other as much as me and my boyfriend do, YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK FOR YOU!!

– In Love
