One of my classmates is involved w/ a guy in Australia now. I think there's around a 17 hour time difference. Alledgedly she's moving there next spring and they're getting married (my theory is she's so weird no one here will have her). They talk on the phone every now and then and keep things going via email or IM conversations. I personally don't find that to be healthy or a "real"relationship. There's very little chance for conflict to erupt and they haven't been facing issues that all couples should face before taking serious steps.
Your situtation is slightly different. I really can't tell you anything. Believe it or not you know better than we do. It's a lot of pain. Some loneliness. Maybe frustration. Do you trust him? Do you trust yourself to be faithful? 4000 miles or not, it's still a commitment. If you think you can stand it, more power to you. But it's not easy.
