Long distance relationship -- How often to visit each other??

Question

So my girlfriend is going to Atlanta in July with her family for 2 years, she's going to school there then she's coming back here to New York where I am. I'm 22, shes 19. We are willing to continue the relationship during the temporary long distance and currently thinking of ways we could visit each other periodically.

We don't have our degrees yet and everything cost money so we gotta do this carefully. I'm thinking shes going there for school for 2 years, so she'll be gone for about 22 months (August '07 - June '09). I'm thinking maybe we can take turns visiting each other, three days out of each month? Like I go see her for one weekend in Atlanta (Fri-Sat-Sun) and then she comes to NY for one weekend in September and so on.

I did some research for plane tickets, I looked on Delta since theyre based in Atlanta, the average cost for round trip NY-Atlanta ranges between $250-$300 with tax about.

So does this idea sound reasonable?

Answer 1

That idea sounds reasonable. My boyfriend and I try to see eachother about twice a month if possible until I move back. We are not as far apart as NY and GA, so we do have the option of driving....7.5 hours one way, or sometimes we meet half way and spend the weekend at a hotel.

Answer 2

Long distance relationships are always hard in one way or another... I would say be very careful... Your idea is very reasonable and I hope your relationship makes it through the distance, once it has other problems seem like nothing at all...
Best of luck!!!
