how will you handle long distance relationship?

I'm into this kind of relationship right now 'coz of his job. Very torturing of mind and heart coz we're far from each other. To manage this kind of relationship you'll be needing TRUST,TRUE LOVE,RESPECT and SINCERITY. If you have that all in your relationship there's no fear to lose someone you love.

I can't handle long distance relationship. When I left my province to look for a job in the city, I left my heart to my first love who decided to pursue his career in the province. We had tried to save the relationship for almost 3 years but then the fire didn't last. I meet a new guy and we were engaged to be married too, he was transferred to a foreign country, and just like my first boyfriend, after 2 years the love has fade. I do believe that despite of how much you try to save the relationship with constant chat and phone call, it's not enough. Indeed, the nearer is the dearer. I am married to my hub for 15 years now and we prefer to stay together that's why working abroad is never an option to us. The presence of our loved ones is very important especially when you are raising kids. Sometimes we tend to sacrifice for the call of financial stability, but at the end of the day, we will realize that time lost will be lost forever. The precious times when you have to be with them in many important occasions, not to mention the time of darkest moments wherein your shoulder is needed most. I've seen a lot of families broken because of the distance that divides them, children who never learn to love their parents despite of the stable allowance they are sending them. I may say that handling a long distance relationship especially when you have kids is the hardest thing to do:)

I'm into a LDR for nearly three years now, and that's because we trust each other. Second to it will be the constant communication and others that will keep you as close as possible.

Make sure you trust the other person (of course even before getting involved make sure your partner is trustworthy). Trust is a vital element in every relationship but it is even more so in an LDR.

Hey.....it's hard but it's so worth it. I think being in an L.D.R. is one of the best things that has happened to me and my bf. Well, the not seeing each other thing sucks......but being apart has MADE us talk to each other which means we've gotten to know each other so well over the years. I've been doing this L.D.R. thing for 4 years now and I have no regrets. You can still show signs of affection online. I send e-cards a lot. They're cute and they're free. (hallmark.com) I would also suggest web cams. They can really help when all you want to do is see their face!! I wish you the best!!

A lot of trust is needed plus a lot of patience and understanding. There are people who can't express themselves well if not talking face-to-face. You can handle a long distance relationship by trying hard to get off the long-distance thing. You don't need to do it right away, just make plans of getting closer. I'm into this one but he's not that far. We see each other almost every year, and we talk all the time (through yahoo, phone calls, messages). We talk about other plans and not the romantic stuff. Plus we always try to secure each other that sooner or later, distance won't be our problem. Yes there are fights, but we all need a little more patience. I have handled it for 3years now, and I think we're going to make it. Plus it takes a lot of hard work and prayers.

I dont think long distance relationship last.Its really hard to have that kind of relationship.In whatever case,i never heard of someone with that kind of relationship became successful.They ended up being with another one.Because we are only human we could easily tempted by anyone else even if you love your partner that much but if youre both afar you will always feel the loneliness and the likeness to be with someone always who can take care of you and pamper you.

i've been to this relationship before. i always write him a letter/email, txt him, he calls me twice a week.. the communication line is open but still he cheats on me! for me i dont like the long distance relationship anymore. no matter how you love each other there will always be TEMPTATIONs..
