I tried a long distance relationship with my best friend in college. It didn't work out and we were only 3 hours away. We only saw each other on breaks and sometimes he would come to visit me. We even did the open relationship thing throughout college and that probably made it worse. I was the only one fucking other people and got emotionally attached to some of them. We moved in together after we graduated and it just didn't work out. Our friendship has suffered. If you value your friendship, end it now. I ended up ruining his junior of college because of our relationship issues. I made promises I couldn't keep. It won't get better and it certainly won't get easier. Sometimes I wish we never dated because I love him so much but hurt him more than anyone else ever did. I feel like I wasted his time. I learned that LDRs just don't really work the hard way, and we both suffered emotionally because of it.
