Relationship Advice Please?

I normally do not ask for advice but feel I need to right now. I have been in a relationship with a wonderful guy for 3 months. We live about an hour & half away from each other and are not at the point in our life where we want to move. He has been saying recently the distance is hard on him, and I agree, it is hard on me too. He has been thinking, and I think he wants to find somebody that lives in his town and that he can see more than a few times each month, despite our constant talking every day. I really care about him so much and know that if I have to move on it will hurt but is possible over time. Is my relationship worth fighting for? Any tips to help keep it together, or is it time we each moved on? Any other long-distance tips?

    I had a long-distance relationship that lasted about 4 months. I understand how difficult they are! I think the main thing I did in the end was pray about it and think about if we were actually the ones for each other. It ended up being a no, and sure it was difficult to get over, but I'm glad I took the step to make the right decision. If you are the right ones for each other, then make sure to show that they are worth fighting for and don't forget to put effort into the relationship and show them that you care even through the pain of long-distance. It's a tough urge to resist the idea of looking for the 'right one' in your own town. The best thing to do is to just decide which way you will go before "looking elsewhere." Remember to always speak in love and treat the other as you'd want to be treated.

    I'll be the first to admit.. long distance really blows. I did long distance with my guy for about a year. I'd always be tempted to break it off because it gets really, really hard. you guys are only 3 months in, and I'm gonna tell you now, it's only going to get harder. I knew my boyfriend was the one, and he knew I was the one. we've been together for 2 years now. but the only way we made it through is because he made the decision to move to my city. if you two don't have any plans to live in the same city, I'm going to suggest that you just let each other go. if it's meant to be, it will be. and I bet you guys will find each other later in life. but save yourselves the heartache and be with someone that can give you both what you need. I'm the only person that I know and that my friends and family know that has made long distance work in the end, because it's not an easy thing to do. best of luck to you both.

    I don't consider a hour a long distance. I mean how many times do you really see a person in a week? Usually just once or twice. I drive a hour to hang out with the person I'm dating and it works out fine. You both need to make your lives more full so you both aren't just depending on each other to have fun.

    If you're asking whether or not to break up with him, your relationship obviously isn't worth the distance. So many other guys out there... Break it up, I say. Get your single on, yo
