She is in her first year at the community college, and has already made plans to go to the same university next year whether we're still together by then or not. I'm concerned whether a long-distance relationship would work or not. I'm going to be working a 1-5 job as a secretary, but I'm going to be taking classes such as calculus, chemistry, psychology, philosophy, and marching band, so I imagine I'm going to be busy, and I promised to her and myself that I'll come home if I have a free weekend.I'm very happy being with her, and vice-versa. But I don't want to cause pain for either of us if a long-distance relationship doesn't work out?What are the pros and cons of this? Should this be something worth attempting?

Lurio Macora is verified as being by the original poster of the questionIt's not the trust factor I worry about, I trust her that I've let her gone out with her guy friends and always calls me to let me know that she loves me and she's safe. I trust her enough that I don't mind her spending time with her male friends, so long as they remember that she's taken by me already.
And about our love being strong enough to survive, I do believe that it is, but we've never attempted long-distance before, and we're worried that the pain of not seeing each other for weeks or even months will be unbearable at times. She and I both know that we're just a phone call away, but I feel at bliss whenever I hold her in my arms.
