Hey...
OK, you may want to take my advice or you may think its bull s*** in which case ignore everything I've said... One year is a long time, and anything can happen in that year. If I were you I would end it right now. My boyfriend went abroad for 6 weeks to visit his family and we were together for over 4 years, and he ended up finding someone else and is going to get engaged to her soon... Now I'm not saying that all boyfriends are stupid b******* like mine obviously was and I'm not saying that you guys don't love each other either...but me and my boyfriend were literally the bestest of friends...we would speak every night for hours, we had lots of fun together when we went out, our sex life was incredible and most of all we cared about each other...its obvious that we did because we lasted for a long time...but people change and circumstances change...you seem like a mature girl who loves her bf but you're still young, and the last thing I want is for the incident that happened to me to happen to you, because only I know what I'm going through and I've literally lost the will to live...And long- distance relationships are also hard to maintain...
I hope you'll find my advice useful...Good luck!
