how do you handle long distance relationship?

You have to both be on the same page and accept that it is long distance and your time together will be limited. I was in a long distance relationship once and I found it to be so exciting. We saw each other on weekends and took turns travelling . we both had children. I was so busy with my kids and work. I really looked forward to his visits or to get away for a couple of days. Sometimes we could not see each other for a couple of weeks...maybe more...When we did...it was great...fireworks! Anticipation is wonderful. Talk to your girl. Maybe there are other ways to stay connected in between times. My guy and I talked on the phone pretty regularly. sometimes I would get a letter from him. Its not for everyone.

hi rowell! i can relate to your dilemma since I am in a long distance relationship for almost a year now. It's not as easy as the normal relationships seen among couples always physically together. I guess, to keep the relationship healthy, communication in whatever means is the key factor.Trust is also a vital component, both parties shouldn't allow any negative thoughts that may ruin your relationship. Most importantly, if you really love each other, make God the center of your relationship. Because if God is in your relationship, both of you will cling in prayers to keep your love stronger for each other, seek wisdom and courage to with stand the test of time, until both of you can be together. I believe if you are in a long distance relationship, both parties should be aware that it takes a lot of understanding, sacrifice and patience for you guys to make things work. Often times, the irony of impatience is that when you are willing to wait and willing to accept the good and the bad in it, it is when you can have the things that are worthwhile. So, if you love your girl, make her understand the world you're into and make the best you can to keep the communication often.

Hello rowell! I'm currently in a long distance relationship myself and I don't find it easy. My boyfriend of four years is permanently residing in canada and i'm here in quezon city. His family migrated there back in 2005, so we have been apart for almost two years this august. I know how your girlfriend feels..there are times when my bf and I don't communicate with each other for days. There are times when I walk around the mall and feel sad because I don't have someone I can hold hands with. There are times when I have problems and cry myself to sleep because I have no one to share them with. There are lots of times when i feel desperate and ready to give up, but when I think of my boyfriend working hard just for me to have a plane ticket i smile and think it will work out soon. The best advice I can give you is to trust each other, believe that love will bring you together, and be surrounded by lots of friends who can comfort you two in your loneliest times.

g'day rowell, i can understand how you feel. You don't say how long you have been like this. I have been in a long distance relationship now for a bit over 2 years. How do you cope ? We talk on the phone and also the computer once a week on each.. we text each other whenever we feel the erge we send pictures of each other via mobile phone... I know the loneliness is big, but when you hear the words "I love you" it all goes and your heart melts ... so stay with it

oh honey keep up the fight, if you love her then go on....make her understand your situation, if she cant understand it..then dump her....

My fiance and I are in different countries; he's an American in the USA, and I'm a Canadian in Canada. We spend time together where and when we can, and are working on more perminent arrangements. Right now I am in Arizona for a few months.

I think it's best to ask her what would work for her. Some girls like to have their boyfriends talk to them really often online and others may be able to cope for long periods without any contact with their boyfriend. Ask her about her preferences and see if you would be able to meet her needs. That should help. As it seems that what she wants is your time here, then maybe you could tell her that you could chat with her during certain times and that you are prepared to put aside time for her as she is important to you. All the best! :)

When there is a long distance relationship, try to keep in touch with her whenever u have leisure time or plan and allot some time to spend with her. Send her gifts making her to think that u lover her a lot. Tell her tht u miss her a lot.
