surviving a long distance relationship..

I had been in a long distance relation before marriage...24 hrs by land. I survived for 2 years before marriage. But now after marriage we have been togather for 3 years and now i am miles apart.....she is in India and iam in UAE. after so many years of marriage...the tough times have started. Its getting difficult living away from her.

I can't survive a long distance relationship. I cannot stand the worry and the heart aches specially when we fight. It is hard to settle differences and communication is a must.

Well some couples can manage, but then others can't because it's just to difficult to be apart from one another for so long that they just can't take it. My friend is going through this right now, but she has told me that she would not stay faithful because she just can't manage with out a boyfriend for so very long she feels that she always has to get attention.

Long distance relationship was far more difficult before the development of webcam, cellphones and internet. Due to our high tech gadgets nowadays, it became more easy to communicate with each other and the feeling of longing was lessen. Of course, still the main ingredients of lasting relationship are purity of the hearts to Love, Respect and Devotion.

in my case it survives, bot only for somth like a few months. glad that you guys can do it :)

HI The foundation of a relationship is LOVE and TRUST.I also experienced a long distance relationship for 2 years before we get married...I met him in the middle east,,middle east is a very strict country and relationship between man and woman is not allowed..we only met once for two years...and sometimes we have misunderstandings and the only way to reach each other is by means of texting and to call for a few minutes.we all know that calling on a mobile phone is very expensive so we have to limit it.. after 2 years he returned in our country he waited for me for 3 months..and until now we still have a long distance relationship because he need to work for our baby.And the only thing we should not forget is to have constant communication..and you are right trusting God is the best we can do..lift up to him evrything..=)

long distance relationship is difficult to keep. in the beginning the relationship would be fine with all the technology that helps in communication and connection, and then, there will be a time that one needs a physical intimacy and care. it is really difficult to keep a long distance relationship. that's why i salute and admire those couples who overcome the distance separating them. it is amazing how they overcome the difficulties and challenges.

I'm not in a long distance relationship in a loving kind of way, but in a friendship kind of way. In January me and this girl will have known eachother two years. We have never met, but we're extremely close. We've written letters, text eachother every second we're not on the computer, talk for hours on end on the computer during day, and have talked on the phone multiple times. I think communication and trust is the best thing to keep a long distance relationship of any type alive. People say there's a chance she's not real, when they've never talked to her or know nothing about her. Only because I don't know her in real life, they assume she is some pedophile or something. It's kind of funny, but anyway, I think they can survive, and very much do.

Me and my partner keep doing this for almost 6 years and we struggle so much just to keep this relationship work. We have constant communications but as years pass by things changed. We barely talk, no SMS and etc. and this situation put us in a rocky road but still we get to handle it. The situation makes me weak and tempted to do something that possibly destroy our relationship, i become so weak and almost lose my grip but my partner is there holding me tight and telling me we can make it just have faith and patience and we will get through this. Support with each others is important.

Hi, I never encounter long distance relationship in my life and I am not sure whether I can handle it well if I were in this kind of relationship. I agreed with you, trust is very important to make the relationship stay stable. With such advanced technology, it makes both of you easy to keep in touch via MSN chat,texting via cell phone or chat via phone. You can always travel to visit your boyfriend and I guess he must be very happy to see you there.

A long distance relationship can be difficult but it can be survived. You have to have a strong bond and commitment to the one you love who is so far away from you. Out of sight and out of mind will destroy your relationship. The effort you put into the relationship whether it is near or far is what matters the most. Just because the one you love is many miles away does not mean the relationship can't last. It is up to you.

I think for most people it is hard for a long distance relationship to work but I think it can work but both have to work hard at staying in contact,text,mail,phone,email,webcam and so on.

woww. I hope it goes on well. Its admirable because most of the time we can't sustain a relationship with somebdy who is here with you. Now to be with somebdy abroad, its gr8. I think its all about love, understanding, patience and trust. If these elements are present, then it is possible to sustain. All the best to you.

that is good. well actually your being loyal to your partner.and your boyfriend is so lucky cause you give your best and all of you. it seems that i heard wedding bells. so you better keep it up ok?

well good for you both. i think that long distance relationship is not ,going to work for me. my last relationship is. that was what..? 3 years ago i guess. he's based out of the country and he's like going to visit once or twice the most per year. but we always talk.. almost every day.. but for me it's not enough for us to really get to know each other more.
