Ive been living with my gf for about 6 months or so. been with her over a year. I love her a lot. she is still in school finishing up her masters degree she will be done in may or this summer at the latest. After i finished school I stayed up here with her and found a job. I was at the job for almost a year but the job wasnt for me (I would dread going in to work everyday not a good situation for me or the company.) So now Im going to find a job in the city where there are a lot more opportunities. Ill only be an hour drive away which isnt too bad. i have a free place to stay which would probably be 30 minutes away from work at the most so it doesnt make sense to drvie 1 hour everyday. this would be the first time i would be in a relationship like this. We agreed that I will just come and stay with her friday through the weekened and go back down monday morning every week so im staying with her 3 out 7 nights in the week (she cant come down cause her studies require she work on the weekeneds (research).) The thing im worried about is i always hear how things could turn bad in a situation like this. What can I do to help the relationship stay strong? I was thinking maybe buying one of those video cameras for the computer for each of us. what else can I do?
