LDRs - Not for the faint of heart!

Aww I am really sorry to hear that Shavkat. But that is definitely true, thus the title. I broke my heart too for a couple of past LDR realtionships. Distance complicates a lot of things. But couples who are together, lives together, got their issues as well. So far, I’ve learned that it’s not really the distance that ruins us. It never ruined me. It’s each person’s determination to keep the relationship going. And that of course is fueled by love, trust and respect. These are factors that are hard to maintain in whichever relationship- families, friends, romantic relationships, etc. It is never easy, so before you get into it, know what you’re getting yourself into, and who you’re going to be with in the first place. :)

@miss_taken I am not sure for some. Loyalty will be tested between the two couple in LDR. It is a matter of keeping the promises. Unfortunately, some people are so weak and give in so easily.

@Shavkat That is true. There’s a lot at risk in a long distance relationship.

He is very sweet. I really appreciate all his efforts to be with me. We were actually seeing each other more often than before. I think he’s veen visiting every week for the whole of July. That just makes me really happy. :) I’m sorry to hear about that. I was on the same boat before. I used to think that it’s because of the distance, and thought of veering away from LDRs altogether. But maybe I’m just hardheaded, I don’t know hehe. I decided it was never about the distance, but the person I was with. The distance was not the problem, it’s the willingness of the person to risk and give his/her all to be with the one they love. Or maybe, the love wasn’t enough to conquer it all. But yeah, I never hated LDRs despite my experience. I have many friends who are in a successful long distance relationship. In love, it’s always on us. :)

Aww Red... You don’t have to push it if you are not comfortable with it. :)

Many of our military wives have had LDRs and sometimes the situation falls apart, you're right, it always depends on the two people involved.

@miss_taken I am happy for you..

I had a couple of failures, too. :( But I’m in a happier place now. Thanks, Jess! :)

Thanks, April. :)

@kepweng That’s just good news! :D

I’m sorry to hear that, John. It didn’t work out for me before as well. :( But hey, we’re alive and kicking, right? We’re okay! :D

If he lives a couple of blocks away then that barely qualifies. Just kidding haha! I think it is LDR is when you are miles apart, or you need to drive log hours or get a plane just to be together. I am really hoping you get well soon so you could be together again. :)

@Icydoll Thank you! We’ll be trying our best too for this next chapter in our lives. :) I know that many relationships like ours are far more challenging. But we have our own battles so I give us some credit as well. :)
