Please do share your stories and input on this one. I am curious as to how many people here at mylot have been, or is in a long-distance relationship right now, how they made it work, or how it ended.

I have a long-distance relationship. My boyfriend and I live in different towns. Actually, it just take two hours with motorcycle. But we spend our time together just in the weekends. Sometime in the midweek, I've missed him so much. We used to send messages to stay in touch. And really, it works. Though it's just message, I can still feel him near me. the most important thing is that we trust each other.

Yes, I think the most important thing is trust. People do end up breaking up by being crazy jealous. The hardest part is missing each other though.

My husband work was far from home. So we have a long distance relationship but Im so thankful that we still have each other stick and strong. Though there are times that we had fights and misunderstanding we still manage to survive this kind of relationship even if it is so hard away from each other.

I know it is a difficult relationship to maintain. I guess it depends on the couple. Sometimes distance does make the heart grow fonder. But from my experience it is a hard thing to manage.

Hello rina308 and welcome to mylot! Hopefully all is well with you and your life! As for me and the life that I live everything is going well! I really like your topic of discussion and thought that I should share some of my ligth and knowledge on long-distance relationships! First and foremost if you are going to be in a long-distance relationship, it should be with someone that you have dated for awhile not someone that you are just getting involved in a relationship with. I feel this way because I had just met a guy in my hometown during spring break while he was visiting. He ended up staying longer then he thought he would be staying, so after two weeks of him being here we decided to start dating. Those two weeks ended up turning into three and a half months of him residing in Columbus, Oh. While approaching the fourth month Deandre got word that he would be going back to North Carolina. Well seeing that we were young and we thought that we were in love we decided that once he did return, that we would continue our relationship but it would be a long-distance one. Well for the first two or three weeks with Deandre returning home everything was fine between us. WE talked on the phone everyday for endless hours. Then he started wroking, so that put a wedge in the times that we talked, we still continued to date though. To make matters worse Deandre ended up getting a second job so that took away from our time even more. I started feeling like I was in a relationship on my own and not being able to communicate with him when I wanted to started to take a toll on me and eventually in the end we ended up parting and going our seperated ways. Even still till taoday we are great friends and ever once in blue moon he might call me or I might call him just to see how things are going in each others lives. Well rina308 with that said NakitaLikely3617 is out! Until next time be safe and be blessed!

When I was 17 I was in a long distance relationship for a year. It worked really well for a while but when he went to college he was in a boarding house and couldn't call very much. When he did call we just argued about how we barely talked in the end it was too much stress. I was still in high school at the time so moving to be with him wasn't an option. I think long distance can work for a while but in the end someone has to bite the bullet and move.
