I'm in a long distance relationship. I go to Ball State and my boyfriend goes to Purdue. We obviously don't see each other as much as we used to. Everyone always says long distance relationships are extremely hard and don't work out. Yet, in my opinion it hasn't been as sad as I though it would be. It takes a lot of time and effort to keep it going though. Every night I make sure to try and call him so I can hear his voice and just chat. Also, it keeps us a part of each others daily lives, cause we know we will get a call from one or the other at night. We text all throughout the day, which helps make me feel apart of his life during the day. I go and try and see him on the weekends as much as possible, even though it is a 3 hour drive. A relationship is very time consuming, even a long distance one. People might say well you barely get to see him how can that be time consuming. Well to always be kept in each others life it takes time to do that. My next door neighbor always tells me about how her daughter and daughters boyfriend went to two seperate colleges that were 12 hours apart. Now they are happily married and doing fine. Long Distance relationships can work out. Is anyone else in a long distance relationship? What do you think about long distance relationships, would you ever get involved in one?
