long distance relationship

I have been in a long distance for 4 years and although sometimes we squabble but we keep our relationship, it was form 2002 to 2006 and finally May 7th 2006 we celebrate our married, after all we considered that to face all of those the key is patient, honest and trust to our partner i mean boy friend or girl friend, i believe that if you match and i am sure that both of you will face all of those easily, so be patient, honest and trust to your partner.

Maybe by meeting in person you realized it wasn't all what you thought it would be? I have had that happen. The "not knowing" of someone you fall for over the computer/internet can bring excitment and when you meet in person, it's totally different. I hope you two can work it out or at least remain friends.

Long distance relationships are always hard. I know they say absence makes the heart grow fonder but too much time apart can kill any relationship even marriage. I know of someoen who recently went through a divorce because he was in the service and was deployed to Iraq 2 times.

I'm also in long distance relationship for a while in the past about at last it ended up in a break up. And I must tell u that i was under the same kind of situation. U know unless u didn't meet a person regularly the relationship might gets weaker. But i hope that u just might have the wrong feeling. Everything goes allright. All the best.

I can't do long distance. It would be too hard for me not to have someone their right when I wanted a hug or something. I don't know how people can do it.

I haven't been in this kind of situation and as much as possible I don't recommend it. But I understand there are still many people who are in this kind of realtionship and making things work out, they are fortunate. Maybe in your situation, so many things have changed without each others presence that's why it feels different now, it's like you were strangers agein, I don't know, just maybe.

IF you've lost respect for eachother and interest in eachother that's a problem. It would be a problem if you were together, as well as if you were long distance. When you lost interest in eachother that's never a good sign. My fiance and I are semi-long distance (we are citizens of different countries) and can only spend some of our time together. We keep up our communication even when we are apart, and we miss eachother terribly. We are determined to keep the flame lit no matter where we are.

You both once had a flame for each other correct? I don't think you can lose respect just because of distance and I'm sure if you give it some time and attention you could work on it. If you love each other, re-do what it was that appealed to you both. Such as going to the cinema and then for a snack to eat after etc. Things a re generally easier to give up and nothing is easy, you just need to find a balance and work on it :) True love will last I strongly believe that. ~Joey

Long distance relationships are very hard to keep alive,and sometimes you think he is the right one for you just from talking and spending time online together.But untill you actually meet face to face and spend time toether do you really get to know the person, maby your being together one of you realised that the other wasnt really the one you wwere looking for. I would talk about it and see what went wrong.

I don't know if it will works for you but as I experience before to my ex- husband I did not did the right thing to work our relationship even when he is far thats why we ended up. And thinking back why does it happened to us. Maybe if I try these thing maybe still we were together. Try to establish communication links. you can right letters,send voice tapes, orcustomized message CDs for each other. An now a days computer and internet is In, you can always send e-mails. Affirm your commitment and love. Some wives have the mistaken notion that the relationship with their husban is triving even though he's far away. This is not true. Your commitment and love to him need to be affirm on a regular basis by telling him so and by listening to his worries and concerns. Make telephone conversations with him priority. Don't ever tell him it took you some time to send him a letter because you have to do some baby sitting request by your neighbor. As much as possible put off other things and make phone talk with your boyfriend (or letter-writing for him as the case may be) your top priority. Always strive to be happy and positive in your letter and phone convrsations. Being away from home is already a stressful situation for your boyfriend.It makes him sad and homesick. Don't make it worse by negative or skepticl tone of voice in your letter or conversation with him. Hope that I help you in these litlle ways.

I personally don't believe they can work because of the type of person I am. But I have seen some that work out, so I believe its just based on the individuals involved.

It's impossible to keep it real. You dont know what each other are doing. If it's possible, only few ahve survived, very few. I have a girlfriend before and I met her online. I just broke with her. We were mountains and seas apart I couldn't expect her to love me like real.
