I only see mine 2-3 times a year for some weeks life, rest is by videocall and that not even once a week.
It's fine with me. I have a full, busy, complete life and don't need him to make me feel good or complete or give me better self esteem.

Well, I understand that it is hard to only see your partner a few times a month. That would bother me also. But sometimes certain circumstances prevent us from being together all the time. Look, if the relationship is meant to be, it will withstand the test of time and this would just be a bump in the road. And if it bothers you that much, then look for a way that you two can be together more often.

Personally for me, I am Glad that I am married, and long past this stage. I have a wonderful man to come home to every night, or him to come home to me, but back in the day when I was single, it really depended on what was going on. But personally I think a lot of it is the Trust issue, but once a week getting together and going out on a date is usually the Best. Because when they are wanting to put off things for longer usually means they are not that interested for sure.

for me, i can survive to that situation..as long as we're committed and faithful to each other;we understand and love each other..and communication is always there..
i've been in a long distance relationship..so my partner and i only see each other with an average of once a month thru skype and twice a year if we travel together..and i'm happy to say that we've survived 2 years with this kind of arrangement..

Hello!
I am completely okay with that. It is just nice to do something together but your lives do not depend on each other. Even you are couples you still have to live your lives on your own in some point. Of course, especially when both of you make a living. You deal with different things and things do not depend on you. About being away from each other, there are various ways to keep the love live despite of the physical absence. Sometimes it's just in the mind. The best thing there is how you can make up for every single day that you're far from each others' arms.

No. I want us to see each other everyday. That's how it is with us with my husband when we are just boyfriend and girlfriend. We both would like to see each other everyday.
But of course, if your boyfriend is in a far place working, then you just have to be contented of just seeing him whenever he can. But , i don't like that kind of relationship either. For me it won't prosper.

It depends upon the situation, if the reason why we should be involve in a long distance relationship is inevitable and very essential such as, work, study, and some sort of business matters that would be alright, as long as we have communication and the loyalty is still there.
But if the reason is very lame, I guess I can't bear to have such a relationships.

hi:)
if that's the only time that he can meet me, that's alright with me, but if he have time but don't make time to meet me more often maybe that is when the time I'll complain also.

Hi!
it depends, if your the kind of person who is so dependent. My bf is in another country and we only see each other when he goes home for a vacation thats every after six months. Right now, we are in that processing of building trust and love despite distance. facebook is there, skype is there, cellphone texts and calls are present so now problem for us. Im happy we are building our future. so for you, be indpendent and try not to be dependent to someone. it would only hurt you more... =)
be happy!

Hi asliah,
i see my love almost every day, and feel terrible if we can't meet in three or more days. Of course we have skype, gtalk, cellphones, etc, but to be honest, its not even close to hold her hands during a walk. Fortunately, we live in the same town, but learning is a problem for us too.

I have tried living without my partner for that amount of time before, and I have to say that I found it difficult. If you know that it's only going to be for a short time then it isn't as bad because you know that you'll be able to see each other regularly once that period of time is over. If it's a long term thing, then you have to remember exactly why you're doing it and what you're doing it for. If it's for a good enough reason, for example going away to work so that you can have a better life together, then you should find that you can deal with it a little bit better.

If I really love someone, I do want to see her every single day. But sometimes, time and schedule might be different for each other. So, you have to understand, both person might need to work or study, adjust the time and make it work for both of you might be a better plan. If your love develop to a level that you both shouldn't be separable, just get married, or live together.

Contentment in time given to me depends on the situation. If my man has to do something that is very important then I have to handle the situation fairly. Seeing him once or thrice a month is fine as long as my man is responsible enough to contact me and still communication is continue though we don't see each other. And the main reason why he cannot see me always is for the better, for the future, a very important thing, indeed.

Hi, for me its not fair if he will just spend his time with me on an occasional basis if he is just within the vicinity. If his reason is reasonable, i guess i will consider but if it becomes habitual and abuse or just making an excuse - then its not fair anymore. Otherwise i will discuss and express what I like and don't like. Distance is not a hindrance of sharing love and strengthen a relationship provided its reasonable and justifiable. Otherwise, it becomes an alibi of something not worth investing for.

Well asliah, think about this as a small obstacle.
Me and my ex lasted 4 years, and it was a long distance relationship. If we did it, you can. Yes, it can be depressing. But as long as you guys communicate, (since its the age of cellphones and internet) then it's not something impossible to go through.
But if you REALLY. REALLYREALLYREALLY. Can't handle this kind of scenario... then find another one I guess.
