My boyfriend will be going abroad a few weeks from now and I'm still not ready for it. Can anyone suggest how to get ready for this?

Long distance relationships work if both of you are willing to work it out. Though I haven't tried a long distance relationship, I think keeping the communication constant is the key. Consider using Skype video calls, phone calls and everyday email would help.
I know that long distances are hard, especially from watching some of my friends having this kind of relationships. I guess what you need to do is to strengthen the trust between the two of you and keep the faith in your relationship. :)

Yup. Thanks saniang! but I'm just afraid that a time will come that we will both be busy with our work and will have lesser time to communicate; knowing that we are in different time zones and me, as a sleepyhead. haha :)

Oh I see. I also have a friend who is a BIG sleepyhead. hahaha. I guess you will just get used to it as days go by. I think you can just adjust to the situation gradually. :)

thanks tammy! but I think a time will come wherein both of us will get busy with work and we'll have lesser time to communicate. And i don't know how to cope with that when the relationship gets boring.. have you been in a long distance relationship also? :)

he's not my boyfriend. but before he left he asked me to be his girlfriend. we're best friends for 6 years already. i did not gave him my YES for 1 main reason. i want to keep our friendship, i dont want it to go to waste just because of some strings. i dont really care if we'll have a long distance relationship, i've been always faithful to him and he makes me feel that he's faithful to me as well. so the distance is not a problem.
it's been 3 years a guess when he left. i got pregnant last year and he did not talk to me for almost a year. but now, im happy to say that we're in the best shape we could ever be. im so lucky to have him as my best friend. and soon maybe my boyfriend...

there is nothing to be ready about it. Just think it to be a part of life.....and life has its ups and downs and we are supposed to go with it. There are things that you cannot run away from....just learn to accept it.

you will never get ready unless you give your trust to him. Sometimes most distant relationship fails because they don't trust their partners they choose to listen to lies than hearing the truth, be more patient, considerate and understanding to keep the relationship.

Just support him for what he is up to as of now. It is also for the both of you. You just have to support him all the way. If you are destined to be with each other then it will happen.
