I had to comment on the 'allow her out of range of comforting for an extended duration' part of kipperfish's post. If you get to a point in any relationship were you believe that you have a right to allow or not allow your partner to do anything then things are going very badly indeed. You can't say that that was a mistake as you could not have changed things. By necessity of my course I am having to spend seven months in France. fourmyle had no choice whether to 'allow' me to do this or not. I make my own decisions. The only way that we could have avoided being separated for this length of time would have been if he had come to live here to. If he had we would have had to find somewhere to live as he wouldn't have been allowed in the school's accomodation. Then he would have had to find a job in a country whose language he barely speaks. So, we have to be apart. But our relationship is in no danger. If a relationship is ended due to distance then there must have been something wrong with it in the first place (no offence meant to anyone there).
