Being in a relationship with someone that lives so far away is somewhat difficult. You have to remember that Equality is Key. It's a very hard and stressful thing to do but if you really love someone... You are willing to do anything for them.

 When my husband and I first met we only saw each other fri night to sun night for 3 years as he worked all over the country. 5 years later still going strong although he has been working closer to home since jan 2007. It was hard but boy was it worth it seeing him again after missing him for 4/5 days!!!!

I have been with my partner for nearly 3 years now, we live about 2 & half hours train journey from each other and we have kept it going by using contact over the phone, texts, letter, emails...
We try to see each other as much as we can, sometimes we can see each other every weekend, or sometimes we have to go a month. What i think is so good is that when you do actually get together whether it be every other weekend or everymonth, it makes that time with each other so precious and special and you enjoy it much more. We are still not living together but we are now engaged and are looking to buy somewhere together abroad. If you are both going to be commited and trust each other, it will be very rewarding.
Our love is still as strong as ever, and it gets stronger everyday
(to be honest ive been in relationships before and lived very close and you end up hating seeing so much of each other, or constantly being around with each other!!)

I was in a relationship for alomost 4 years and 2 1/2 years of that was long distance. I had to move before we had been together for 6 months. We were a strong couple and we would talk everyday and would see eachother about every two weeks for the weekend. I think if you want it to work it will.

of course it can work if they have very strong feeling for one another then they can make it work. Im sure they can keep in touch by texts, phonecalls and e-mails etc. If it all goes well and after a while they might even want to move to where the other one wants to and set up home you never know what the future holds. I hope this can work for them

Yep it can work if they are a strong couple and keep it going in other ways like phone calls, emails, letters etc etc.
If she's worth it then he should take a chance with it.
They can always change jobs and move to the same place if it goes well enough.
Good Luck!! xx
