Would distance be a problem?

I don't favour long distance relationships. Even if i possess one, i would like to turn it into a close relationship as soon as possible else it would be too late to carry on with the relationship. I have experienced a long distance relationship which ended up after 3 years but we could not see each other even once in 3 years. Our affair started as a long distance relationsip and grew stronger with time.. I met a girl online, about 5 years back. We had a nice chat and we continued to chat on alternate days for about one month. By that time she had given me her phone number so we started talking on phone. We exchanged our pics and did like each other. I even proposed her after 2 months or so and she accepted my proposal after another month. We went away nicely. But unfortunately couldn't meet each other ever. We loved each other(as i hope) and everytime i could think of meeting her(we lived in different cities) some or the other thing happened which won't allow us to meet. Situations were turning against us.Then after 2 years or so, some incident happened with her due to which our relation started deteriorating. She was not allowed to talk to boys. And i kept on asking her for time so that i can come over to her place to see her. But unfortunately we ended up and i still don't know the reason..WHY?. So as far as i m concerned, i used to believe in long-distance relationships, but i am afraid to take any chances now. I have seen a 4 year close relationship ending up in 4 months just because they got separted after 4 years. So you really can't belive.. Whats gonna happen?

i think not as long as you both know that you love each other. now with the technology you can see each other everyday even if your at the other side of the world. however it should be clear on both sides the commitment and the feelings.

i'm not quite sure but i guess that would depend in so many variables.. what i believe is important is constant communication with each other, which at this cyberworld is no longer an impossible. having to build a trust and a good foundation for the relationship is far better as well but is not an assurance at all. saying that, you have to make the relationship move on everyday, and being with each other even you are from each other, comforting each other with sweet but true and sincere words with somehow soothe the feelings of your partner. constant communication is a must, patience and reassuring words (off course should be a sincere one) for each other.

I have a lot of friends who have this problem. The husband is teaching in a state while the wife in another state. I think it's too hard for any body. I'm prefer my wife always beside me with my kid. I don't know what happen if one day it happen to me ( my wife work far away from me ). But I think it is good if there is a time we are alone, far away from our wife/husband, but in a short period only.

distance create a lot of misunderstandings... it does not increase love...it creates lots of differences....

i guess you cant really miss somebody if u aint apart. but then again depnedz on who long ur apart for if its for a while well then i guess at some point ull get farther apart. but while ur closer and u miss eachother so much then ull end up being closer. it could go both ways.

My relationship with my bf has been a strong one and we WERE actually in two different countries PLUS we dealt with him being in prison and so on...Even now with me being in the U.S I dont get to see him in fact I'll be seeing him for the first time in over 3 yrs as of tomorrow YAY!!!!!...Is it easy? NOT AT ALL! Communication and honesty are absolutel MUSTS..you MUST be able to put all your cards on the table and talk openly and honestly with each other...and get whatever time you can in whether its over the phone or visits etc etc....I talk to the bf every night on the phone before goin to bed, when he was in prison we wrote each other long letters...and now that he's out I'll visit him whenever I can... It takes work...alot of work but a relationship can stay strong and even get stronger when distance is a factor.

It's hard, but we were able to survive in keeping our love alive. And distance and faith make it stronger.

My husband went to Japan for two weeks this past June. I thought that I would be ok and that it would give me the opportunity to do things I hadn't done in a while. Read a book from start to finish,visit with friends more,etc...I was misserable the whole time he was away. I missed him so bad I often cried my self to sleep. The day he was to come home I was at the airport 2 hrs early.His flight was delayed and I cried.When he stepped off that plane to where I could see him I realised that absence makes the heart grow fonder.Not further apart.
