[quote=Anonymous]OP, my DD is in an identical situation - she is 23, her long-term college bf is a first year med student 800 miles away.  I think all you really should do is point out, when appropriate, issues she should consider.  In my DD’s case, we told her that we understand why she travels more often than him - she has a lot more disposable income, and a more flexible schedule.  I hope my DD still feels like a priority to him, and it’s fair for her to expect that.  She also gets emotional support from him as she navigates the stresses of her first job, and values that.  If this relationship does not last for my DD, I know she will be crushed - but she also will have learned what’s important to her in a relationship, and that’s a valuable lesson.  I think you need to step back and let your DD make her own decisions, but be there for her with an ear and advice when necessary.  Also look at what your DD is getting from her relationship, not just what you think she is giving up.
