How do you cope with long distance love?

I can relate to this as I am currently in a long distant relationship. This is the second time for me. First time he totally gave up on ever seeing me again so he stopped contacting me but recently he got back in touch with me. And now my current partner is a country away as well and slowly its getting further and further away. I just try to stay positive and remain as contactable as possible. Although there is nothing more I can do about the hugs and cuddles...So yep just stay positive and keep in contact..

If you are living together as couples it would generally be hard but if you are still in a relationship that is no commitment yet I guess it's not that hard. Well there are many tecnologies nowadays that eases up communications like the internet and the phones so I guess these will help. I was having a long distance relationship w/ my husband for almost 2 years before we got married. He's in the USA, am in the Phiuls and the only mode of communications we had were chatting and emails online and phone calls.

HI, I know it is hard for both of you and you have to hang on to that. If he loves you and you love him then it will ok. The matter is about you two, about how you can handle all the situation that around you. you are far from him but your heart and your mind are with him all the time. My husband and I used live far a part like that but it was not 2 hours fight, it is half of the earth a part.It took me 24 hours to get there. sometimes, I worried and sometimes I didn't feel him with me anymore but if it is your truth love, it will always return back to you. My husband used not to call me for weeks and ignored me too. you have to make this time so special and make him feel only you that be there for him. Just like old saying "Distance never separate two hearts that really care" Good luck to you.

It is very difficult. We talk constantly on the phone. We won't meet until August and it makes it good because we will get to know eachother better and know that it is a positive situation. It is a matter of keeping busy and being secure in the faith you have in your own intuition and the vibes you get. This is the only thing you really can do. Go with your gut, take it slow and take time to be sure. Life is too short not to go forward with whatever you can to be with the one you love.

hi mimimeow, I am in a long distance relationship for quite a long time.I agree that it is very complicated.I got envy sometimes I see couples walking sweetly along the road hand in hand.How I wish, I have my boyfriend with me whom I can talk to and be with anytime of the day, personally and not virtually.Those thoughts makes me sad and makes me feel sick everytime I think of the distance between us. I wish he was here or I was there or we were together everywhere.But then, I think, life is just like that.Every now and then, we must experience ups and downs in the relationship.Life can't be all joys.I learned not to focus on the distance for it just weakens me in my relationship with my boyfriend.Instead of thinking how far he is from me, I think of ways on how to keep our relationship stronger and for it to last long.I keep to communicate with him everyday.Even I have a very busy schedule, I see to it that I still can spend time chatting with him online.If time is so hard and I cannot wait for him, I leave him email so he will understand why I cannot chat with him within the day.Whenever there will be a special occasion,one of us will send an e-card to each other.Sometime he calls me on phone and we talk for long hours.Each day that we will chat online, we always say words that will keep the love in us always burning.We not just chat or email eveyrday. Sometimes we both watch movies online at same time. Afterwards, we chat about it.And sometimes, we both sing our favorites songs together. We forgot the sadness each time that will do those activities.

Plz be more confident with your mutual love.i will face this problem because i will graduate soon and we have the different major.But i am confident with our love,i trust it will last forever when we have to live long distance from eachother. best wishes!

If I was away from my love I guess I will feel crushed...but because of our love and trust with each other I will cope with it as long as we have time to spend on calling each other, writing each other or just messaging. I will put my hopes high that we will be together someday soon.

hi mimimeow,your situation is commmon as many couples as i knew.i don't certain to say there must be problem happen someday,but as i knew some my friends 's partner had probled cause they didn't live together long time.human is human ,it is hard to control something when they are single always .so what i say just good luck and take care try to make chance to live together if you really care each other.that will be best way for you.good luck.

i can't has any suggestion... but in the research. long distance love has a higher success. i think the problem is the first and second years... after that it's fine..

hi mimimeow i think constant communication will be best for long distance relationship. Also, trust must be the big factor to deal this kind of situation. In order to cope with long distance relationship, 3 factors must be consider; trust, time and love. When couple are complementing with these factors, i think your situation will work.. Good luck and have a nice day.....

My friend and i have the same problems with yours'. We live in two different cities and it is in a long distance between us. But fortunately we will get together every weekends. Usually it takes me 2-3 hours to get her place. I love her so much and was thinking to move to her place, but at present during the financial crisis i couldn't give up my current job. I hope one day in the future i can find new job in the city where she lives and i also hope you too will settle down very soon.

long distance love cost much not only money but also the feelings of loving.so you should have the confidence to insist on

is the month spread out over the year or is it a solid month and then you have 12 to wait? i would just hang in there and talk otherwise as much as possible u have to weigh the benefits of the relationship against the negatives and ask yourself whether you would be happier down the road without having to deal with the being apart. Could you imagine yourself with someone else and is someone being there with you on a day to day basis a key to you seeing the relationship as successful? cause if you are waiting on this man to move and he doesnt seem game now? i don't know whether he will in the future. but if you feel as though u want to make it work try and make each day as special for each other as possible in ways other than being right there with someone. and if nothing else the distance will definitely make you look forward to your time together more. many people today don't see each other much and they do live in the same house. our current economy is such that most couples have to both go out and work more than 40 hours a week to make a living so just weigh your benefits against the negatives and see where you come out.

The final success of your love depends on you and your boyfriend. To be frank, it is really hard to stick to long-distance love for a long time. You will have to endure the pity of not seeing each other. Even if there are countless telpphone or internet contacts, you will not remove the feeling of loneliness and longing for him. But if you both love each other deeply, you will overcome these difficulties. If you think that your friend is trying hard for better future life, your worries will become less. In fact, the power of love will win over everything.

Me and my bf are also in a long distance relationship at the moment. We have met and spent some intimate time together last year. I live in the Philippines while he lives in Belgium. We also have some time difference as my country is ahead of 7 hours compared to his country. Being in a long distance relationship is really hard so we are coping to each other through sending emails everyday, some sms and calls within the week and chatting for hours during weekends. He is coming back here on May 2 for a 3-week vacation here in my country. Our situation is hard but since we really love each other, we are going to find ways to be with together. He wants me to live together with him in Belgium. I hope that day would come for us to live together and be a family in the near future.

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

Well, long distance love affair is kinda hard although there are many ways for families and couples to communicate like the internet and cellphone but we cannot substitute that for being physically being there with your loved ones; it's different. Absence, as they say, make the heart grow fonder....but in other instances absence could make your heart forget. Loving someone is a choice, if you choose to commit with this person, then it would last no matter how far you are with each other...just make the most of what you both have.

My boyfriend and I are living together. But I once asked him if he believe in long distance love. It is a pity that he is not that sure. I am a little upset. However, I believe that true love can make distance near. Distance is not that important compared with true love.

I can not speak based on personal experience because I have none.. But I have a friend who had the same situation. she doesn't get to see her boyfriend sometimes for more than a year. But every thing went fine with them. THey had consistent communication by means of phone calls and online conversations. ^_^ Good luck!

You situation ! A lot of friends have this kind of experience! However.this approach does not help it!Life so we must do it ! But not both together with the individual!Is thier future!So how do youchose to look at
