I would not test a relationship with long distance

If the relationship is meant to last forever it will survive this. If it isn’t it won’t.

^^ very true. My bf is in residency has a brutal schedule and is a 5 hour drive away from nyc we see each other at most once a month. But we’ve been together 4 years and counting. If you’re the right people for each other — you will find a way to make it work

Relationship, if you really think she’s the one

Depends on the person. Many do end up breaking up eventually

What makes you happier? Being successful professionally or having a family? (If you don’t think of her as family then you already got your answer )

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t

Try it out a little but being patient it is different -

Depends on your life stage. Too young and more likely to fail. Too old, less flexible. Desire to eventually settle down for the long term with each other? Probably would work
