long distance relationships

    Hey, I'm having a problem with my fiance. He lives like 500 miles away from me and it's difficult on him and I. Him and his friend Bryan was talking about relationships with Bryan and his fiance Tabitha. Then Cris (my fiance) and I were talking about how it was wrong for Bryan to just move on to someone else and leave Tabitha because he was tired of waiting to get married.
    Well anyways to the point. Me and cris was talking about it also about us. I asked him if I had to wait until I was 18 to get married would he wait for me. and this is what he said. "i will tell you right now i love you but if i have to wait til you are 18 to marry you that is like nearly two years and it will be rough but i will give it my best shot baby bc i love you" But it seems to me that if he does have to wait, he will try his best but he can't promise me that he will stay with me. What should I do? I don't want to lose him. Which I know he will wait, but I just want a backup plan just in case. Well thanks for your time. I know that this is really a waste of time so just get back to me whenever you can.

    Ok Kasie, I want to state one thing really quick, A lot of relationships at that young of an age don't work because you as a person as well as your significant other are still growing and learning, things change as you become older and more wise; I am not being mean, I am just telling the truth.

    Now as far as your situation, I can't tell you what to do, nor can anyone really, you just have to go with your heart as well as your significant other. But it sounds like you want advice so here is mine, personally it doesn't really sound like if he has to wait that he will, I am looking at it at his point of veiw, he is young, he wants to explore, etc. Waiting 2 years for a teen is enternity, but if he truly loves you he will wait that is all I can really say, for I don't really know what kind of guy he is.

    If he loves you he will wait, if he doesn't then he doesn't love you the way you thought he did, he is not the one for you, etc. Although on some given instances people do get back together after a few months, years, etc. if they truly have feelings.

    I hope for the best for the both of you, and may god bless you both.

    Peace and Love, Joe

    He doesn't sound like he's willing to wait. And if he's not willing to make that commitment to you, then he shouldn't be engaged to you. Sixteen is awfully young to be engaged in the first place, you're still growing and changing.

    Anyways, sorry to put it so bluntly.

    yea, he doesnt sound like he's ready to wait...this is more of a long-distance-age relationship...you have to really think about what you want to do with your life at that age

    I think if he TRULY loves you there would be no second thoughts about waiting for you. He'd do everything possible to make it work until then. Thats just my opinion.

    y should it matter if your together thru dating or thru marriage?think of it this way, if he decides to leave before you turn 18, you saved yourself alot of pain that you would of had going thru a divorce.i hope things work out for you, i know how hard long distance relationships can be, my bf is in korea.just remember, there are plenty of people who would be willing to listen and all things forbid, if he were to leave you, your better off and you will find a guy 10 times better.
    blessed be
