Okay, I won't stop you.

You can always keep in touch by email, letter, phone and messenger you know. It may not be the same, but it's better than nothing. Where is he from? What's his main country of stay? If his absence is going to be an extremely long one, then I regret to say that the relationship will fade away and you will have to move on.

You aren't being particularly sensitive, Picard.
Keeping in touch is obvious, but good advice. I know guys who are going out with girls that were over here for a semester, and the relationship is still going strong over 2 years later. Distance isn't a hassle, as long as you and your partner are committed to each other

Im in a similar situation to you, my boyfriend is planning on moving abroad for a year If its 'true love' then a few months, or however long it ends up is bearable, email and mssging etc might not seem like a lot, but u will enjoy every chance you get to speak to each other. My friend did a Year in Boston, met and fell in love with a student, moved back to England for 2 years, and last summer made the permanent move to America and is now happily engaged!!

ahh, thank you sweet people. feel a wee bit better. my Boyfriend's going to Buenos Aires till june, then he is supposed to go to William and Mary, his Uni in Virginia. he wants to come back here instead, but st andrews are being awkward about letting him.
so we just don't know. Picard, you seem a tad cynical.

Life is complicated.

[Pussycat]

I know people who have had a year abroad and managed to keep their relationships back home going strong through letters, phone calls and good old msn.

At least you can console yourself with the fact that if it's meant to last then it will

Not cynical, just speaking the truth. Long distance relationships never work out.

Poor sad panda Hope you're ok. Jean-Luc, would you just GET A LIFE!!! Snake hates you.
He wants to stamp on you with his DM's till you make small bubbling noises.
Snake Hates you.

[Capt. Jean-Luc Picard]

Try and touch me i promise i will break every fucking bone in your body!

[Snake]

Snake Hates You.
Snake does not like being sworn at...........
One Day you will get a vist you very very sad man/woman. ......
Snake knows that you live in St Andrews and suggests that you dont attend the Bop on Friday, as you usually do.
Dont walk alone.
If you don't like pain do it yourself before I get there
next thursday......

[Capt. Jean-Luc Picard]

all talk huh? i bet you are a skinny little pussy in real life you fucking brainless little bastard.

snake = result of bullied children getting on the internet..they try and look tough but in reality they totally arent.

[Snake]

Im sorry.
I didn't intend to upset you.
I hope we can see through our personal differences and maybe one day become freinds or something.
No hard feelings.
Who knows maybe in the future well meet up over a drink or somethimg.
Snake loves you

Sad panda, staying in touch is the only advice really and I'm sure it will work out.

However remember when asking for advice to ignore all the obvious twats and bitter people who will respond saying your relationship is doomed - they know nothing. Only you know what your relationship is and how strong it is, many people do manage long distance relationships until they can be with each ther. So just ignore all the sad bitter people with nothing better to do than cast doom and gloom on a strangers relationship - the fact that they do tells you all you need to know about how experienced they are in that department!

Question: why is Capt. Jean-Luc Picard not banned when he's behaved far worse repeatedly than other people who did get banned for comparitively less. All he does is insult people and go looking for fights!

Well he appears to have now had his account disabled - and it's about time he was stopped from posting insults.

I am a JSA from W&M who is exploring this site for the first time and thought I would comment. Our school seems to have sent a lot of students over in the past few semesters, but because of the shortage in housing they turned down a lot of W&M students this year- I think only 3 of 13 that applied were accepted. That might be why they are limiting your boyfriend to only one semester at St Andrews. I am sure this information doesn't help at all but I will say good luck. I left my soulmate back in Virginia for 5 months but I know if it's meant to be then things will work out. I hope things work out for you.
