K so basically my girlfriend is going away for a French program and it's a month, and she's leaving in less then a week, any suggestion what I should do? Like is it good to contact each other everyday or should this be a test of how long we can go without each other?

It might help to know how long you have been together. I see no problem in touching base daily if that's practical.

Hi LC,

If you two love each other, by all means you both should stay in contact. I don't know if you guys have international dialing on your cell phone, if not, text, e-mail, etc works. Granted, she is going to be away, and you are not going to physically be able to see each other. But, why wouldn't you contact each other?

Contact within reason, that okay as long as you agree but know between the time difference and the fun, she may not be that available, so don't make a big deal out of it. Discuss it, and make a plan you both can live with. Speaking of plans, don't sit and wait for her to contact you. Have your own fun.

Who cares? You are thinking too hard and turning the situation into a game. Im sure she's not thinking in her mind how many days a week she should call you before you begin to get bored of her or how many days can she go without calling you before you decide to break up with her. You sound almost pessimistic. Stop thinking too hard. You will ruin your relationship if you constantly come up with these ideas out of your butt. If you WANT to talk to her everyday, make sure to call her. Don't play games and think about ways to "test" your relationship. A relationship is not a test. Relationships will go through enough tests on their own without having you artistically creating them. I promise you that much.

What a wonderful opportunity for her! Contact each other as much as you want to. If you talk daily now, there is no reason you can't or shouldn't while she is gone. E-mail is a wonderful thing! If a few days go by, that is not a concern... she will be busy, you can focus on spending time with friends and doing things you enjoy. Will give you both something to talk about when you do speak to each other.
