So I have decided to move to Florida to be with him. The only problem is, I will be moving 12 hours away from my family, friends, and everything I have ever known. I have grown up and lived in the same house my whole life, and am very close to my parents. I know I'm an adult now, but the thought of not seeing my family breaks my heart! He can't move closer to me because he just got a new job that pays well, plus I do love it where he lives. Does anyone have any advice on how I can get through this easier? Part of me is so excited about this, and the other part is so scared about such a big change and how long it will take me to adjust. Is that normal? I feel like I'm going crazy!

I myself is in a long distance relasionship not as long distance as yours about 3 hours is mine but we only can see each other in the school holidays as we both have a child and thats not often and with the kids cause we are both single parents too so really we have not had a date on our own we say to each other one day we will have our first date as a couple and it will come i have been with him over a year and we are totally commited and i do understand the pain of missing him and one thing about a LDR is that one has to move for things to progress cant go on forever talking on the net i am actually looking to move nearer to him as well but my friends and family yes will miss them but will also keep in touch and also come and visit them too and you could do that once settled in Florida with your man that loves you can always come back to visit and maybe they can come and visit you so be happy and go for it thats my view anyway...GOOD LUCK...

 It's scary when you first fly out of the nest and usually it is not as drastic, for example going off to college for only a couple months at a time or just across town. But 12 hours away isn't all that far. You may get homesick but I think since you are flying into the arms of the man you love, all will be well.
