My boyfriend and I now live 4 hours away from each other. Before when we were so far away things were not going to good. It has already begin to do down hill. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?

there was a saying that, "behind the distance, Love makes us closer" so if you really love each other, there is no reason for you to experience the hardship of being away.. gudluck

I think that you are doing much better than your boyfriend. You are smarter and you are hard working person.
I do not believe on distance relationship.

Its a really hard situation!! Believe me, I am in the same situation, except mine lives on the other side of the world!! We havent seen in over a year, but we are still surviving. It s easier said than done to say that communication is the key, because you will both begin to live separate lives. You just both need to agree together that you will end up with each other in the end. If you dont think that maybe in 1 or 2 years you will be together, then move on. Otherwise, just make sure that you are both on the same page. Its a very hard hard thing to do...Good Luck!! PS I have a posting similar to this, you can read through it for some advice!!

I really think that distance is a factor that can really affect the relationship. Communication is one of the things that you have to consider to make any relationship work, its different if you do it in person. You must try to meet as often as you can.
