Can you trust an Overseas Boyfriend?

My boyfriend lives overseas and yes, I'm sure sometimes both of us get lonely. I know that I do. I ache to be in his arms and whatnot. It's terribly difficult. I find, for us, that communication - and lots of it! - is key. We talk daily, we use Skype to spare us both awful phone bills, etc. Emails are sent, IMs when Skype isn't available, too. Trust is infinitely important in an LDR, though, because you don't get to see each other. For me, it all comes down to knowing that my boyfriend loves me. That he is as crazy about me as I am about him. That he would never ever do anything to hurt me. HOW to trust, honestly is somewhat difficult to describe. For me, it's a combination of knowing him well and a bit of a leap of faith, so to speak. I can't know 100% for sure that he won't cheat on me, I just have to remind myself about the things I KNOW (i.e., that he loves me and wouldn't hurt me) and take the rest on faith. ;) The other thing is - well, it IS difficult to have to be without the TOUCH of the one you love, but you can be intimate without being in the same room. Sharing all of the fantasies you have about the next time you can be with your lover, and what have you. My best advice is lots of communication by whatever means - phone/Skype/voice chat, emails. And yes, that means discussing what fears you have, too, if you need that reassurance. Luckily for me, I have the world's most patient and understanding boyfriend, because yes, even though I know in my hear that he loves me dearly, I do still, every once in a while, have a moment of panic. ;)

Here's what I can tell you out of experience - first time you separete your heart (and his) will grow founder however, if that type of separation repeats itself it may become a habit of not having each other around...when that happens one of you (or both) may start lookig for affection somewhere else because even if your boy friend is not around you still need to have someone to love on you, pamper and be there physically everyday ... Unfortunately, I don't beleive in long distance relationships, again, if it only happens ONCE its okay but repeated separation may eventually lead ti infidelity and break-up.

Yes it is so hard but if your love is true you will stay faithful and so will he and one of you might mess up or both of you but if you can work through it then love will bring you togather again.

Communication is really the key when it comes to trusting the other person. Especially in a long distance relationship, overseas or not.
