Do you believe in LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP?

I am in a long distance relationship, I have been for the past one and a half years. We met online in a rosetta stone language learning chat with no intention of dating, I never thought I would date someone online, it's kind of funny to think about. But anyways, he lives in Sweden and I live in the US, so it's quite a distance. The last time I saw him was June 11th- July 11th, he came to visit me. I am very excited to see him again, which will be December 6th- January 4th, I will be flying over there to his home city of Stockholm, we will also fly to Barcelona, Spain for a few days, I will get to practice my Spanish! I am very very excited to meet his family and celebrate the holidays with him and his family. We have a lot of honesty and trust in our relationship, and we also put an emphasis on communication. We don't talk every single day because we both have jobs and a time difference, but we talk a lot and we are very satisfied. We have great understanding and patience with each other as well, things are great! I hope you have a lot of fun when he visits you, January will come soon enough, as December will come for me! Happy mylotting and have a great day or night!

I've been in a long distance relationship before. No doubt it was very hard, especially with the time difference. i have no idea how i survived that, but i did. drove me nuts at times and made me cry too. but there are many means to keep in touch; telephone, email, IMs, digi cam..etc. i missed him a lot, every single second and wish i could see him or for him to be physically there with me, whenever i was sad or happy. you need to have a solid trust, as you're not able to see what your other half is doing. And you need to have lots of faith, enough to not make you give up on your relationship. but i believe, in the end, love is what that holds you together. if two people really love each other, no matter how far they apart they are, they'll be able to go thru the relationship. love knows no boundaries;).

Although long distance relationships can be a bit difficult I do think they can work. It depends alot on the people involved in the relationship and how they deal with the issues such a relationship may have. I do agree trust would be one of the most important aspects of a LDR. There would have to be a lot of communication and maybe in the end people in these relationships have a stronger communication because of the distance. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder so I am sure when you do get to have time together you make the most and cherish every moment. I hope you have a great visit with your boyfriend and January and wish you both the best of luck in continuing on with what sounds like a very special bond!
