Dave: What’s right is being upfront and honest. If your cross-state buddy knows the deal, it’s not cheating. And, considering the long distance, it is totally understandable that you’d like to hang out with other guys. Ultimately, the only opinions that matter are yours and his. If the two of you can find common ground, it’ll make for a couple of happy campers.

Bill: A long distance relationship can be like a great vacation to a faraway place. You have great memories when you return, but if you’re determined to go back there all the time, you’ll stop seeing all the great things about home. Tell your BF that you love visiting him, but you want to treasure the memory, and not just think about what a hassle it is to get together. Talk to him about seeing other people for awhile. That way, you’ll be doing what your mom says, while still being true to yourself.
