How can one maintain long distance relationship?

hello kenny, I believe long distance relationship is difficult to maintain these days. With the presence of many temptations around, one may have a difficulty dealing with them all. It might be that for a day, your partner was able to get rid of one tempatation( beautiful charming lady) but it will not last long. Although, this is not applicable to all. There are still exemptions where a partner is really that sincere. I can only say always keep in touch with each other!

Hello, Kenny. I know exactly what you are going through. My girlfriend lives in the Philippines, and we use Skype to connect about every day. It is a little difficult because she is worried that I will not be there to see her. I have plans to visit in August, and am very excited, but nervous as well. But to get to your question... It is nice to have Skype, so you can "see" her all of the time, if you dont already have it. You can do what my friend did when his girlfriend was away for several months, and write her a letter every day letting her know you care, and she may do the same for you. Send her something via the internet, like small gifts, and keep it different. Keep working on your visa, and ask her to try doing the same thing. Depending on where you are, it will take time, as both you and I know, to get the proper paperwork done. But never give up. I hope that this helps to know others are in the same situation. It may be tough, but stick it out and like I said, never give up. Have a great day...

As what other say LDR is very difficult and I myself can prove it. However, if you are really in love, no matter how far you are from each other, it won't matter. Technology somehow lessen the burden of being apart. We can maximise the use of internet to be able to have a constant communication. We can send e-mails, do chat and video calls, send photos and everything we want to send. We can also play games or watch same movie together or have a dinner together. And also, don't forget that the most important of all is to have trust, love, patience with one another. Ask God for His guidance and be strong.

Hi, welcome to mylot.. Just be patient and try to apply for a visa again... you should never lose contact daily and share your problems with each other..also never lie.. Good luck.

hi i havent got a clue i think being away from someone that u love is really difficult ,and not being able to get a visa makes it even worst,sad to say i would die,but if thus for u have been able to maintain it well good for you,i hope it really works out.

TRUST is the only way

Long distance relationship is the biggest challenge your relationship could ever faced. Everything is being tested, your loyalty, trust, understanding, patience, and so on. Only few have survived such situation but the good thing about long distance is, if you survive then you can survive anything or any problem that comes into your relationship. Entertain her always and always keep that love you have for her, make her feel that love.

I think that long distance relationships are hard to cope with and the two partners both have to be committed to the relationship and also have to be clear about what you both expect from it. In the modern age of the internet, it is easier than ever to be able to keep in touch with people who you can't see, and this means that there is no reason that you can't see them every day if you wanted to. Times are changing and although it might still be a little bit hard to stay happy, it is a lot easier to do so than it might have been in the past.

I know very few people who are successfully handling their long distance relationship. I believe it's all about "COMMITMENT" love is second here, cause love is always wanting and needing which Long Distance Relationship cannot provide yet, but as long as you are committed and dedication to have the relationship is enough to keep the fire alive between the two of you.

Hi Kenny. Long distance relationship is very difficult and very challenging. All you have to do is keep on chatting everyday or call each other often. And avoid fighting over the phone and online chats. Trust is important and be loyal to each other.

im in a long distance relationship now, and i can say that it really is not easy. for me what is most important is that you keep each other's communication open. and being loyal and committed to each other is also essential, as always in all of the relationships.

I moved away from my boyfriend and we were in a long distance relationship for two years and within that time i saw him three times at the most. After the two years he ended up moving with me and we have now been together for 6 years. It was very difficult, but to me it was worth having to go through so much. Both of you just need so stay strong and be honest with each other always. If you guys really want the relationship to work it will, but it takes work. Relationships arent easy as it is and with the distance it 3 times as hard but it is possible to get through.

First if you want to maintain your relationship then you have to make sure that you know eachother very well. Relationship it is like glass you have to take care of it if you break it then you can get hurt and the other person also can get hurt. You have have to take care of eachother, you have get time to know eachother and feel feeling of eachother. Also have to forgive someone for some reason. I think this all point can make your relationship strong and maintain for long.

First if you want to maintain your relationship for long time then you have to know the preson who you want to be with forever. You have to face the problem together. You have to take care of eachother, you have to get time for eachother, you have to make that person happy and have to know that there is some one behind you

Well trust and patience are the magic words in long distance relationships, as long as you trust each other and you are patient about waiting then it can work out :) plus as mentioned, skype (or any other way of daily communication) is needed :)

Six years of experience with long distant relationship here. My wife and I had met online on a game, we were just friends at first, but very fast it became more. We were meant for each other and we both knew it. I, being several years younger was impatient, it was so hard to see her and hear her, but not be there with her. Constant contact is the best way to keep it going strong. Though she isn't there, pretend like she is, hug a pillow if you need a hug. Include her in your thought like, what are we having for dinner tonight? Thinking like this makes it more real, and can lessen the pain of no physical contact. Like someone mentioned before me, send small gifts. I like flowers personally. Especially with several sites you can get instant points(redeem for giftcards) and have the flowers sent to her, I do this every friday and we're still together. Scream into your pillow. You will want the physical contact wherever you can get it after a while. It's not worth it. You find out she wasn't what you thought it'd be, then your full of guilt for not sticking with your girlfriend. She'll find out too one day, and that's a fight, and a life long thing she'll never forget. All in all, just stay as together as you can. My girlfriend and I were on the phone, or chatting online from the moment we woke up, till the moment we went to bed. (besides work) And it was for FOUR years, I just about went nuts, and I jumped ship at one point, worst mistake ever, don't let your loins command you.
