I've been in a pretty serious relation w/ my gf for bit over 2 years now...
Today she tells me she wants to go abroad to study and learn their culture... and she says it might be couple weeks, months, or even years.... i can certainly see her as my "life partner" but i dunno if i can handle such looong distance relationship w/ uncertainty of how long she would be away..... what would u do?

VeggieFrog and Neosente spent the first 18+ months on different continents. They have been together for over 4yrs now and are engaged.

They ran up our credit cards a lot and gained a shitload of air miles.. but they made it.

WTF! You've been dating for 2 years, consider her as possibly "the one," but even consider NOT staying with her? Hang on to her for as long as possible. If things don't work out, then so be it. But as Corporate Thug said, at least TRY to make it work.

EDIT: But I'd consider digging deeper to find out how your SO feels about your relationship. I hate to say it, but the fact that she's vague about how long she'll be gone sounds like she values this study abroad thing more than she might value your time together. I imagine someone who was in love would have a difficult time leaving her SO behind with no plans of returning.

Without sounding rude, if you actually even are considering the possibility that she's "the one" what the fvck are you doing not going with her?

YA I'd wait for him, or go with him. True love cannot be minimized by any distance.

Careers. True love may in fact exist, but I'll be damned if I am about to give up my career so an SO can have some wild time in Asia/Europe or whatever for a couple years, then realize its time to settle down. If it is true love, letting her go out there alone is fine...not something I would do, but its not my relationship now is it?

I'm in a similar experience..except my gf and I broke up. Shes leaving to Taiwan/Malaysia in a week to do relief work with Tzu Chi budist organization. She loves me, but she put having a relationship in the back burn and devoting herself to this. I've been crushed because we were so on our way to marriage. If we had fate and hopefully get this helping the needy out of her system we may be together again.

Where do you guys find these nutcases? Do you two pickup girls at the local mental institution?

I'm sorry, but these chicks have serious issues, normal people don't just decide to drop everything and move to different continents just to try and help the poor or learn about a culture.

Write a damn check or go volunteer at the local soup kitchen if you want to help the poor. Grab a web browser if you want to learn about a culture or just meet some people from said culture. :p

Talk to her and find out how she feels about your relationship and what she thinks about where it is going. Base your decisions on that.

Studies on soldiers separated from wives show that human love in general only lasts about 1.5 years when there's long term separation. Beyond one and a half years the relationship dies. So that's not my opinion, that's based on actual data. Some beat the odds of course.
