Hello... Are you in a long distant relationship? or have been? Did it succeed? and end happlily? wel... I am in a long distant relationship at the moment and im finding it quite hard , it has been going on for 5 years now , we see each other ONCE A YEAR and its quite depressing , contacting each other is via phone and IM .. so can anyone give me advice? on how to stay strong in a LDR please. Thank You
i had a long distance relationship once. we saw each other more often than you...we got to see each other twice a month. it ended horribly, he cheated on me. it was 2 months ago and we're still "friends" but i still can't talk to him the way i could before because he did cheat on me. the temptation to cheat in a long distance relationship, because they probably won't find out, is really strong, trust me! but it really depends on how much you guys love each other. do you feel he's worth waiting a year to see? does he feel you're worth waiting a year to see? obviously, if one of you does not feel that way, it's not going to work.
I'm in one now and even though we live a thousand miles apart we make it a point to see each other at least once a month. Plus, I know we can live together in a year (or at least be in the same city as each other if I don't have a ring on my finger...yet ). Also, he calls me at least one a day, which is essential for me to be able to take the distance and be a 'nice' girlfriend. Being madly in love with him helps make things work too We amke the most of our time together too and don't take any of it for granted. I was in a long distance relationship before that didn't work and I could go on and on about why ti didn't work, but it boils down to the fact that we were so not compatible and their were better people for us out there. I think if you are meant to be together it will happen and both of you will put the effort in that is needed to keep up the relationship. The best advice I can give is to let go and let your bf and the higher power lead where things are going to go. Don't take the meotional burden on all by yourself
I have and still am 6 months and 13 days My guy lives in england and I live in America Never met him in person but My friend Hannah has
im in 1 now well only for a short time from now when she'll finaly be here but it only feels like a long distance relationship at rare momments we talk all day every day, or sometimes just be together without really talking but it doesnt matter were allways together, every momment no matter how far were apart & untill the day she gets here we wouldnt have spent 1 momment physicaly together & yes the longing to touch can be hard but the love is strong the bond unbreakable & the times we really get in deep & spend quality time together are so amazingly wonderful that i wouldnt change a thing in fact id say the distance foirced us to relate to eachother on a whole different level & helped not hindered in the development of the relationship but yea im ready for a lil skin on skin contact!!!! lol
I tried one, didn't work. I suppose long distance relationships are harder to maintain, but definitely not impossible.
I'm in one now. It is hard to maintain. But we both love each other so it's all good. But when we see each other we make the best of it. And I dunnoo. I feel soooo happy after words. We talk everyday one AIM and the phone. Sometimes I don't see him for like 2 week though, and I become a grump... And we get in fights. But I think the more I see him the more secure I feel. :] And the less reasons we have to get in little iffy arguments
you guys see each other ONCE a year? i cant see how you can take that. must be really in love..... ive been in nothing but long distance relationships and its good and bad. bad because its EXTREMELY hard to gain trust for them and you never really get to see or hang with them. Good because you dont seee them every day and you can flirt or hang with other people without him by your side.... but eventually youll get lonely and sleep with other guys
i was with my ex for 9 years total, we lived in florida and i had to come home to help out with some family issues and he ended up cheating on me with some random women he met through work, she was a bartender and he was a groundskeeper for a golf club, he said he had no one to go home to and couldn't get a home cooked meal.. so he started hanging out with her, EVENTUALLY FUCKING HER, and low and behold the bitch got pregnant.i was gone about 8 months in this whole process, and while i was gone he married her even after only knowing her for 6 months. they are since divorced, he has tried on numerous occassions to get back with me but i am happier now than ever. so the point is you just never know if it will work out or not. 5 years is a long timeand are you ever going to live closer??
I've never been in one but i know lots of people who did, and all of their relationships fell apart. Sorry
I completley agree. When you spend months and months at a time apart there is no way that person can give you the attention that guys who live near you are trying to give you and eventually you cave. I couldn't be in another relationship where I spent more than 6 months at a time away. Unless of course my bf decided to stay in and had to go for 6 months. That would be completley different, but I would def have to be married to agree to that kind of level of commitment without seeing him. It would really oly be fair
My boyfriend lives about 2 hours' drive from me, but we see each other at least every weekend, sometimes more. So I don't consider it as a long distance relationship at all. I've been in one before and I'd never do it again because it's too lonely and painful. But it doesn't mean that you can't make it work. It's hard, but if you truly love your partner enough... well, then everything's possible.
I had a long distance relationship for 4 years while she was in college. We saw each other every weekend and sometimes during the week. She was only 2 hours away so that's not really very far. We married and are still married over 30 years later.
I now have the ring on my finger and we have a good idea of a date so I will be moving up here. No more long distance!
