Is anyone else here in a long distance relationship?

Absolutely! I don't undersand friends who resist getting involved with a person because they live far away, sometimes as little as an hour away! it's like conveniency is more important than who it is! I for one plan to spend my life with this person so a few months is not much in comparison. In a LDR you get to know eachother so well, it's not exactly like you can start making out or watch TV when you don't have anything to talk about, you have to really get to know eachother this way.

I recognise myself so well in your description. Absence really does make the heart grow fonder.

That`s for shure .. I`m convinced that those who aren`t able to maintain their relationship in a LDR aren`t really inlove .. or the one who gives up isn`t inlove enough to stand up for his or her partner . My whole relationship was and is at long distance .. and i can tell for shure that i`ve never known a person so well as i know my boyfriend ..when we`re together we don`t even need to say what`s on our minds .. because we know eachother so well that practically we speek with no words .. and this is because when we`re apart we get to talk about everything .. and i`m shure that this wouldn`t be happening if we were in the same city . Now i can say we can move together with no second thoughts because we both feel we`re ment to be together and that together there are no obstacles we can`t pass through.

I have in along distance relationship we keep as strong .we are on this 3 months,we keep on sending emails and greeting cards everyday.We dont forget to responseto our messages. We have plans to meet and be together.i know that we miss each other.

One of the reasons why it's worth it is that I don't think my husband and I will ever take eachother for granted. We have to struggle so hard now and miss eachother so much and in the future we will probably look back at this year and be reminded of how much we mean to eachother. Thanks for the support, it's nice to know that there are other couples that go through the same thing as I. I tend to forget because I don't have anyone around me that have been though a LDR, everyone is just complaining for example if their bf have to go away for a weekend or so.

It is really tought! I try to do a lot of things to make time go by faster, but it's not very easy all the time. I have a widget that count down days, only 46 days to go now. The only comfort is that not all couples get to experience a second first kiss, it's so special to meet again after 4 months apart.

why dont u two live together? and does your husband have the esame feelings towads u? about not liking the fact that u are not living close to eachother? if he felt the same way, should u two not discuss a way to solve this problem? I think u guys should...

Hmm, I don't think anyone would actually say that they prefer a LDR. It's more of a 'It's worth to go through it' kind of thing, if you don't have a choice at the moment :)

I'm happy that you met someone that is right for you! Love conquers everything.

I hope that he can visit you soon. It's always easier when you have a date to countdown to!

Thank you so much, good luck to you too. Yeah, there is nothing better then meeting again after having been apart.

It IS hard, but don't you agree that the meetings get more special when you do meet? You have been through something that differents you and him from other couples. I hate when people say that 'LDS, they never work out' because how many non-LDR don't work out?! But the ones that do work out are in my opinion stronger.

I agree that it's costly. I wish it was cheaper to fly than it is, I'm moving from Sweden to NY now so I'll probably just afford to visit my family once or twice a year.
