I'm falling into a long distance relationship soon

My boyfriend will be going to Australia, most probably UNSW for his degree(3yrs) & honours(1yr) for 4 years.
We've been together for 5 1/2 years if you're curious. Although we've been through rain and storms, we're still very much loving together.
Yes.. We're both very sad but NOT going to let both our emotions obstruct his opportunity to further his studies for the good of our future and for that I'm pretty understanding about it.
Any tips & advices to sustain a long distance relationship? I would also like to hear from anyone who has been in, or currently are in, a long distance relationship. I was wondering if you could comment on how difficult has it been and what you do to keep the relationship going?
Thx a million

hi sweetevil,
5 1/2yrs together is reali long, i undstd ur feeling, i had a 6+ yrs relationship b4 we broke up...
the best solution is that u n ur bf stay commited in the relationship u both r sharing nw. b it long or short-distance relation, a relationship needs sincere commitments from both parties.
i hav a couple-friends who both din manage to "physically" b wif each other thru-out their 4+yrs of courtship due to army, work n overseas studies. they only manage to meet up twice the most a yr when 1 of them flew over to accompany the other for a short period. but nw they r getting married nxt yr after the guy completes his studies.
im very hapi for them. n i tink they both r a very good example of how impt commitments can b even thou its a long-distance relationship.
so sweetevil, i sincerely hope u n ur bf can overcome tis by staying commited to each other.
jia you woh! best of luck!
