<human>: So as it says in the top, I have been dating my boyfriend for 6 years, and I'm starting to feel anxious about our relationship. 

I'm moving 5 hours away for grad school while my boyfriend graduated a year ago from undergrad. I tried to convince him to apply to grad schools and I'd apply near him, but he didn't end up applying (his grades aren't great).

 He's only working a minimum wage type job (a place he did summers at in undergrad). There's not much related to his job here but there's more potential things in commuting distance from the place I'm moving to. Yet he doesn't want to move down there... Even though he said he's tired of living at home in the middle of nowhere and wants a real job...

Anyway, I hung out with some high school friends yesterday and they seem to be mostly settling... In relationships far shorter than mine. They're moving in together or getting married... Okay, one is just together with a dude but also seeing other guys. But anyway...

I've dated 2 other guys before my boyfriend (the other two in high school), and I'm kind of worried that we're going to be in this long distance limbo that ends up fizzling out by the time I leave grad school. Currently we see each other regularly (once or twice a week) but normally it's more like every 2 to 3 weeks. 3 weeks is enough; every 2 months will be dreadful. 

So what do I do? Should I wait to see what he does while I'm away at grad school and then ask to open our relationship up if he doesn't make effort to make it work? I know that sounds bad, but weekend trips will be more difficult for me with my student workload than a full time job would be. Any advice on avoiding envy for my friends' relationships? I know it's, and I am happy for them, but...

Thanks, and sorry for the long rant!

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: Dating a guy and becoming long distance while other friends are becoming more serious in their relationships? How do I deal with the long distance and not caring that our long term relationship is moving slower than others?
