Hi, everyone, now, My bf and I are not in the same city. Actually the distance between us is very far (several hours of flaight), so we cann't meet with each other often. Our communication is just rely on phone or chating online. I miss him so much. I don't know how long this situation will last, but I hope the shorter the better. How about you? Have you have the similar experience?

I have had a similar situation like that whith my first husband(before we got married). He moved to Georgia to get established and find us a place to live. He was gone for months. It was miserable. Then with my second husband he was an over-the-road truck driver who didn't know how to turn down loads. So, he'd be gone 12-18 weeks at a time. But now, there's a guy I'm quite fond of that lives in the next state over. We've talked on the phone but never met. I know we both would like to meet, but I'm afraid it will mess things up. He is great, and I want it to stay that way.

I am on this kind of relationsship and we are thousand miles away from each other. Its very difficult eventhough we often communicate with the use of high technology but if we both have the choice then we prefer to be near together. couples that are in this kind of relationship should have the quality of having the patience and not losing hope. In the sense that someday all sacrifices will be paid off when you will be together forever. Trust and love with each other is very important too as this will kept the relationship stronger and better. Soon i hope and pray that we will be together forever. I wish you also the same. Have a nice day!

I'm currently engaged in a long distance relationship. Good thing for you because only cities divides you but me country is the issue. Being in this kind of relationship can sometime make us strong and I'm proud to say I can manage the relationship very well. It requires much understanding, patience and trust. I hope you do well with your relationship as I am

aw yes, my friend. And probably at one of the most critical time in a relationship! When my husband asked my to marry him in the fall of 1986, he was serving with the United States Navy and was stationed in Orlando, Florida. I was going to school about 30 miles south of Little Rock, Arkansas. This is 21 hours by car. For right at a month, we talked on the phone as often as we could (keep in mind, this is prior to cell phones) We wrote letters back and forth daily. It was hard but we survived, and I think it made our marriage a little stronger in the beginning...especially after the navy shipped him out and he was gone for 30 days at a time!

I am married now and my husband and I live together, but in the past I have had long distance relationships. My ex-boyfriend and I didn't live in the same part of the country, so we couldn't meet very often. He didn't have a computer, so chatting wasn't an option, but we talked on the phone and exchanged snail mail letters and parcels. It was hard to live like that, and I missed him a lot, but I had to go to school in my town and he had to work in his town, so we didn't really have a choice. When we had been together for a year and a half, I finally managed to change schools, and then we moved in together.

Hi Wanghui, I'm in the same situation right now. My boyfriend and I are separated by thousands of miles and eight time zones. I miss him all the time. Because we both work during the daytime, we can never talk during the work week and only get to talk on weekends. We try to make sure to video chat during these times, so we can still see each others' faces and feel a little closer. I find that it helps to talk about what you are going to do together the next time you are in the same place. Making plans puts a real timeline to your distance and separation and helps give you something to look forward to. Personally, I like to hear what he's up to on a day to day basis, but it makes me sad that I'm not there to experience it with him. So planning ahead is something that makes me smile when otherwise I would just miss him more. I wish you both the best of luck and happiness in your relationship - I know how tough it is to be apart, and I'm rooting for you :)

I am also in that same situation. I'm living in New Mexico and my boyfriend is in Puerto Rico waiting for me to move there. However I can't move there till I sell my house. I wish I could rent the house out but I don't trust renters to take care of the house and not reck it. So I have to sell before I move to Puerto Rico. I can't wait to be free to get out of New Mexico.

Not really, but I have some several friends who are now happily married due to this one. One of my buddy here at work who got married thru internet dating. At first its just a casual friendship over the net (i think its on the facebook), it happens to be that the girl is living in Thailand and he is in the Philippines. For almost a year, they have chatted and suddenly announced that they would like to get married.
