Yes, I think it could work. Let's put it this way: you have a better chance than most long-distance relationships.
If you read my answers you know I'm not a fan of LDRs. I almost always advise against them because they rarely work. One exception, though, is when both parties know that the distance is temporary. You can picture a future time when you will be face-to-face, so the time spent wooing each other from afar feels more like an investment in something concrete. When there is no end in sight to the distance between a couple, it's easy for one or both to lose interest and hope, which is why so many LDRs fail.
Did you and your guy have an in-person relationship before you moved apart? If so, even better. Having that foundation also helps keep a temporary LDR going. Add to that the fact that you'll be seeing each other regularly, and I think your chances of making it are pretty good. It will be more work than a face-to-face relationship, of course, but that kind of work can be good for a couple.
Good luck to you. Thanks for the question.
I hope for both our sake's it works out. My boyfriend and i live almost 4 hours apart but usually see each other each weekend. The key is communication and a firm understanding of what both of you want...must have the same desires for the future...best of luck to you!
I am in a relationship with a man, and we live 4 hours apart as well. We've been together for a year and a half b/c until I finish nursing school, the circumstance is as is. Yes, it's been difficult, but it's been worth every bit. I'd rather wait for him, than be with another guy that lives close by.
