...Has anyone had one/in one?

Mine is experiencing some difficulties. I'm looking for hope
through success stories.

I've been through 5, they never work in the end. You'll just
end up heart-broken and disappointed. Love is a disease
created by Satan.

i know a couple that see each other every three months for a
few days
only during summer they see each other for a month
and it seems they're pretty happy so far

i've HAD one and i'm IN one.

they have positives and negatives. i'm lucky in some ways
cos for me getting on a plane is NOT a problem.

my ex BF was stationed in Germany and i was in the US, and
the relationship went really well for the time it lasted. he
wanted to get married and i didn't, HOWEVER we are now
really good friends and he's now in TEXAS and engaged to a
really great girl!

all i can say is take it day by day and just remember how
much you love each other. ALSO communication is KEY in a
long distance relationship. thats the primary thing that
must always remain in good order or doubts...etc..start to
occur.

good luck to you!

I dont think they work unless the two (or more, depending on
your beliefs =p)people are already in love once the long
distance part of the relationship begins. I don't see how
you would REALLY get to know a person from
hundreds/thousands of miles away, unless you saw each other
very very often.

i kinda agree with you, however the relationship i am right
now in didn't start out that way.

i 'fell in love' from afar, and it wasn't something i
thought would ever happen. we've had our bumps along the
road, but love is a powerful force that can't be denied.

the more i see him the BETTER. we aim for at LEAST once a
month, 3-4 days.

I started dating someone the summer before my freshman year
at college (which is six hours away from my home). We
eventaully broke up around winter break :-/....buuut, we did
get back together when I came back home, and we're ok now.

If you love each other, then the distance shouldn't matter.
Like LeCoeur said, communcation is the key.

I'm in a LD-relationship too at the moment. We try to visit
each other about twice every month (for two days or so).
Sometimes I think it's hard to keep it up. I mean, I do love
her very much but still....

I'm glad it works so well for you, Lecoeur.And once again
your advice is priceless :D

thanks for the kind words eXXailon!

and keep working at it. it does take more effort and work
than a normal relationship. but if you love the person the
work will be easy......and something you look forward to.

remember the person you're with is worth the effort. i find
the things i work hardest for are the things matter the most
to me in the end.

so it's HAPPY work!

me and lecoeur use each other like a little relationship
support group... well wait. she mainly helps me :D but yeah,
the thing you have to realise is that no matter what you're
going to get into incredibly stupid fights, but thats
because you're frustrated because of the distance.
i'm incredibly inlove with my girl, she lives 2000 miles
away from me, and neither of us have much money. i saw her
about 2 weeks ago on layover, and she might visit in
october. and we know that thats all we're gonna get, so
we're definatlely going to make the best out of it.

she's actually going to move out here next summer, so yes,
my brother. long distance relationships CAN work.
it's really got to mean something though...
and to lecoeur:
BFF! hehehehehe i'm guessing you're downloading music, other
wise you'd be on aim, yeah? so have fun with that.

I spent about a year in a long distance relationship, never
seeing my boyfriend once in the meantime. It was hard
sometimes, or most times, but we talked so much about
everything - like an interactive journal, almost.
Everything worked out okay, and we live nearby now, and see
each other everyday. So yes, I think they can work, if you
love each other enough.
