I feel for you. At least you are going to give the LDR a shot which is good. I know of several success stories and it does come to personalities, whether or not both will keep putting in the effort and how much you love eachother currently.

Personally, my character, personality and beliefs are against LDR which is also one of the reasons I broke up with my most serious relationship (been going out with her for 8 months when we broke up) last month a bit before I moved. But I do know of several couples that have gone through or are currently in LDR’s, and they all believe that they can make it work and have the character and personalities that go along with it to be able to work.

It’s gonna be really hard obviously, but you sound mature. Everything works itself out… and just realize that there’s 7 billion people on this planet. Also it’s perfectly capable of staying very good friends with him if you do happen to break up.

Fact is, there’s so many difficulties you’re going to run into whilst you’re in college.
There’ll be the temptation to do something that your loved one wouldn’t approve of since he’s so far away, you won’t see eachother as much and when you do need eachother it won’t be possible to be with them, you might run into another stunning human being who you love being around. You’ll never know exactly what they’re doing and no matter how much they tell you, you can never be completely sure.

Most important thing is trust, good luck.
