In a relationship for just about one year. Is love enough of a reason to wait 8-10 years for someone?

To answer those comments, Yes he was sentenced in prison. My curiosity your responses was to see if love (yes I would say true love) dominates over making an intelligent decision. I never have been in this situation or relationship like this. So I don’t want to pass up being true to myself nor do I want to lose the love of my life. I pretty much have though this through in a realistic way and several of you have pointed it out as well. The emotional side of me is holding on, wanting something which will realistically get extremely tough to live by, unless I can basically surrender myself to his mistakes and our unknown future waiting ten years from now. Well I think time will eventually help me to live with it or help me to move on. I obviously can’t change his or our situation, so logically I should focus on myself. I think the toughest part is the guilty feeling of breaking a commitment and the future we looked forward to. Well, hehe I guess this isn’t so much a question, but numerous thoughts regarding my own question. I appreciate those responses. Thanks.

I think that you already know the answer. The fact that you have to ask says a lot about how you feel about the situation. My advise. Drop it, maybe in 8 - 10 you can pick it back up again. Why miss out in the mean time?

Yes, if it is true love. True love is worth everything. Infatuation or lust is worth nothing.

What, is someone in jail or something? 8 or 10 years?

Are they on the first manned mission to Mars?

Or is someone underage?

if it is the last one then I would say stop right now and "someone" needs to move on...

8-10 years is along time, by then you might meet someone els you fall in love with that wants you in the present.

No, I dont think so but need more facts. He is astronaut on mission to Mars, maybe, in jail probably and most other reasons probably not.

I have/had someone in my life recently who I was willing - and still am willing to wait as long as it takes. I know I would drop everything for her - in an instant. It's a life changing experience loving someone that deeply. Will I put everything on hold for them? No. Life goes on. People change in 8-10 years - who knows what the future holds. But for me - I would be willing to wait for as long as it takes if she told me that in time, she will accept me too.

If he just got a sentence of 8-10 years, I say move on.....That's a tall order....and a decade out of your life! Remember, we only go around once....make it count.

well that depends on why you are waiting. i've narrowed that amount of time to 3 reasons since they obviously can't be with you. if they're a convicted felon in prison then probably not. if they're on some dangerous covert top secret government classified operation that because their love for you they wanted to tell you anyway, despite putting you at great risk, then maybe. if they are doing a job or charity work that requires a commitment & travel abroad, then probably yes.

otherwise what the hell are you thinking?!
