All wise words that I can see in this thread so far, but the above really hit me pretty hard. My first real relationship was a long distance one that lasted for 2 1/2 years, but probablly one of the biggest problems (besides lack of communication, big lesson learned) was the fact that it dragged on so long without any sort of resolution. Both people really need to know that, yes, while it is a long distance relationship for now, that you are BOTH actively working on moving closer to each other to include each other in your daily lives. It isn't easy, and there will be a lot of sacrifice, but without that I honestly think the relationship will fall apart sooner or later.
