Long distance relationship

[Weasley M]

Ok, so. I'm in a long and happy relationship with the guy I love. Everything is great. Actually, it was, until yesterday. We were talking, and he said that he is moving to Canada, and we are living in Croatia, and it's about 7000 km apart. I'm devastated. We still have few months together, since he's staying here until September. I know it's not, but it feels like the whole world ends. I'm probably not going to see him ever again. Canada is far away across the ocean. I don't want to break up with him, he means everything to me, but I honestly don't know how is that going to last. Do you guys have any advice or something? Please, I need something to hold on to.

You should give long distance relationship a chance, it can work, if you both want it to work and give energy to it.
it's not gonna be easy, and the 2 things about long distance that suck the most is time zones and distance.
it depends on where in canada he's gonna be, but hes gonna be around 8 hours behind you, so you might get up when he goes to sleep, and there's gonna be moments where you don't talk everyday.
but it's definitely worth a try, and if it fails, it fails
enjoy the time you have with him before he leaves

I agree with Rasmus. Long-distance relationships can work. I too am in a long-distance relationship. While my girlfriend and I are only 3 time zones apart, it's nearly 5000 km that separates us. But we intend to make things work. You just need a lot of love, trust, faith, and patience. If you truly love each other, there's no reason to give up and every reason to try. Good luck.

Okay...well I'll say my part though it is much different than those above.
I was in a long distance relationship for a while, and it sucked. Before I go any further though, I feel like it is important to say that I have since moved back and am with the same guy again, so it wasn't pointless.

My family moved 2 years ago, to a town roughly a 12 hour drive away. I had been dating my boyfriend for almost a year and I was super upset about moving. We decided to stick things out and although that choice often seemed wrong, stupid, and just plain insane, I'm really glad we did. He was able to still come see me sometimes which helped a lot, but the internet made a big difference too. Skype, Facetime, and phone calls were extremely common, and helpful. It takes a lot of trust. If you are paranoid about what he is doing/who he is with or anything like that, it's not going to last. It takes faith that everything will work out okay in the end, and that if things are meant to be, they will be (this is important). It also takes a hell of a lot of stupid, insane, moronic love. You have to be plain stupid to do a long distance relationship, as they are often terrible, but sometimes, just sometimes you get lucky.
I can't say that you should act one way or the other, but I can say to trust whatever choice you make, as long as you have faith in the end result, you will have made the right choice.

Thank you all for your advices, it means a lot. I know it is going to be hard, but I honestly belive that we can make it. If it's true love, it will last, no matter how far we are. Thank you:)

Well, I might have a slightly differing viewpoint here, since while it is not impossible to make it work, realistically speaking odds are against it working. Firstly, as you said he will be way too far, therefore you can't really plan seeing him, secondly, the time zones are inconsistent, so someone has to be up early or late in order to talk here, also, it takes a lot of time and trust, and when I say a lot I mean it. If you are indeed willing to do all of those then go ahead, however beware, it may just consume all your time, so have some control there. What I CAN say is the following, have the best time ever before he moves.

All I can say is that I'm in a long distance relationship and they CAN work, but it seems like in a lot of cases, it's not likely :(
Im scared of what the future will hold for my relationship, but that only serves to give me more insentive to enjoy the time we have together :)
