surviving a long distance relationship

That is one of the disadvantages of having a long distance relationship especially if your partner lives in another country. I think continuous communication is the best way to keep your relationship stable, firm, and intact. That's the only thing I know that would somehow work out for this kind of relationship. If there is a lack of communication, then the possibility of weakening the relationship is of high probability. Of course, being faithful is the most important thing to succeed in a good relationship despite the distance that separates you both. Good luck in love life and God bless.

Is it possible for either you or him to move to the country or region in which you are at? If it's not, then the only way is to persevere and if the relationship survives, to try to make it a reality like meeting each other parents and family and stuff like that. I've read online stories of how long-distance relationships could survive. Be patient and have faith. I wish you guys nothing but the best..

hi perhaps between the two of you you could scrape up some funds and meet somewhere where you could visit 'each other for a few days and talk over all your problems as problems shared are problems halved and that' would help your relationship a lot.

Honestly, I've never been in a long-distance relationship before. It's because I don't believe in it. I know that it works for some people, but it's definitely not for me. My boyfriend wants to work in another country. At first he wanted me to wait for him, but I told him that I don't want a long-distance relationship and that if he leaves me he shouldn't count on me to wait for him. So now we are trying to find ways to go together. But I made it clear to him that if he goes away without taking me along, then it's the end of our relationship.

Has to be very difficult for the both of you. Try to stay in as much communication as possible. Communitation is the key to any relationship. Sneak in visits to each other when you can, i know travel isnt cheap. Im in a similar situation with my Master even though i know one day we will be together its the waiting that gets to me. Good luck with your relationship wish i had a magic answer.

I dated a guy for two years then he moved away and we were long distance for 6 additional years. We visisted whenever we could but our lives kept just being in different places so it was nearly impossible to live together in the same area. Long distance takes A LOT of effort from BOTH parties. We would talk on AIM every night and called/texted everyday at least once. We listened to each others interest and like would watch shows at the same time just like a date. A lot of problems with long distance relationships are pushing things under the rug. They all have to be out in the open. It is possible. We ended up breaking up because we fell out of love and grew apart as we grew up. But it is possible to have one.

hello LdeL0318, i think the best thing that you can do is to go to him or the other way around. long distance relationship will get you tired sooner or later. action speaks louder than words and you can never show your love to each other if you are far to each other.

Try talking as much as possible about how you feel about each other and about good positive things try to make some time to see each other at least once .

I think I'm gonna be in that kind of situation for some time now. After we graduate from college my boyfriend's gonna move abroad to work for like five years or so. I've never thought of it much since it would be 2 years later then but the thought of it makes me sad and all. I'm impressed on how you could stay so strong in your situation. I guess if you really love each other that would work out maybe it's just part of life those trials. You just have to be strong and not let that be in your way. :) Think of it as an obstacle needed for both of you to be more bonded together. :)

I hope I can help you. I was in a long distance relationship for four and a half years. We had three months together, then we were forced by obstacles out of our control to take the relationship long distance. It was hard, very hard. I remember the first six months being okay, but then I started tiring of the situation. Just when I thought I couldn't take it anymore is when we got to see each other again. Everything was alright then. But the visit was short, and then we had to be apart again. There have been times I almost quit. The keys to a long distance relationship are communication and commitment. I am not sure how committed your relationship is, but we knew we were supposed to be together for the rest of our lives. This helped us hang on until we were able to live in the same area. My fiance and I started out only being able to talk twice a week. But we really couldn't last under that. There were times when we talked for nearly four hours a day. But eventually we became secure enough in our relationship that we didn't need more than a couple hours a week. Now that I get to see him regularly, I don't even talk on the phone with him anymore. My guy wasn't the kind to even think about cheating, but still, being in constant communication helps with wishing you were with someone else. If you're intent on pursuing a long distance relationship, there will be times when you feel that the person on the other end of the line is a phantom, and you'll find yourself wondering if this is really real. I just hope and pray that you can see each other soon and find out that you will be okay for another stint of distance, and that soon you'll be able to be in the same area permanently.

Don't you think that the day to day things are the most important part of life? It is the small things, the details, that are missed that are what makes up our lives.
