aww ...well i'm sorry to hear about that..sometimes situations like that do occur, if people are from other places....i'm in an 'interracial' relationship and it's more harder than what it normally would be perhaps, but that way it is strong too. my example, we are engaged so it's pretty much clear, but i would never go overseas without him, like it's either he comes with me or i go with him, so my answer to the question is pretty much ofcourse i believe in it. sometimes though it is acceptable why people have to leave, even if they say how much they love someone...like sometimes family pulls more harder you know, and you're left to chose either one or the other, and obviously, if people are not that deep in a relationship yet, they would chose family.....that's only one of many reasons though....it just depends on everyones situation.....but i believe love is stronger as you spend more time with the person.....and even in the case of long distance i do support that too, if there is trust it has been seen to work out.
