writes: Me and my fiance have been engaged for 2 years, dating for 3. For the longest time, I thought we were quite literally made for each other. but since entering our LDR...certain issues have come up, that had never come up in our relationship before, and things have really changed. When were together we're perfect, but these issues have really started seeding doubts in my mind about if we can handle this temporary distance, and if we're making a mistake being so young, still in school, and not having much other relationship experience. Neither of us has cheated or anything like that, and we both agree that no matter how much we argue, we still are completely committed to each other. It's just all these stresses are making me wonder if we know what we're doing. Any advice for us?

Depending on how "temporary" the LDR is, what these new issues are and how willing you are to be completely and unabashedly honest with him about your doubts,I doubt that your doubts will resolve themselves without having that nerve racking conversation everyone fears. It's important to keep in mind that if you are serious about marrying this man, whatever these new issues are, you will have to be brutally honest with both yourself and him regardless of how painful it might be.
