Is anyone else here in a long distance relationship? email this discussion to a friend?

I am Swedish and my husband is an America and we are in a LDR for another 5 months. No matter how much I dislike it it does bring us closer to eachother. I truly believe that relationships that make it through a LDR are stronger and more true than the average relationship. If you disagree I would like to hear other opinions, but my experience is that if you talk as much as you have to do living far away, you couldn't get away with staying toghether because it's comfortable. Does anyone agree with me?

A long distance lover is hard to have I know I have been threw it however things work out or you meet someone else?

It's hard to go through but worth it, after all, a year is not much in comparison to a lifetime.

somehow,it never works. I have been through it, and I kept on struggling for two years, till we naturally split-up.
I also asked other persons and they do had the same ending though of different variations and outcome, but it never works.
why? it is the distance. it is the longing. it is the emptiness on both sides.
I think it will work, or maybe more exact is, it will last long if you have a legal commitment to one another. ..
sad reality...and it bites

I'm in a LDR. My fiance is in another country and I'm here in America. I went with him to his country for about 3 months. Now I'm back in America and it's hard not being with him everyday. I have 7 more weeks left until we're together again. But you no doubt must be having a harder time since you have more time to wait:(

Hang in there!

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?

yes i agree i was in an long distance relationship for almost a year, we was 800 miles apart. i also agree that the longer you talk the better of you are. if you can hold the love threw a certain amount of time and still be together thats true love love. altho it does have its down sides like going crazy wanting to put your arms around each other or holding each other tight at night which you cant do. im glad i held out because hes the sweetest more wonderful man ive ever met.

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.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Starline (339)   ranked 313 out of 8,520 in love  2 years ago

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.

i agree. just like the saying goes... absense makes the heart grows founder... i guess having that kind of relatiobship will help make strong bonds with your loved one. your trust and honesty and faithfulness to each other will be tested.

i know what you mean, is very hard to have a far away relation, but i think that deserve to find real love, is like a test(i hate this test), any way who have a relation like this know what i mean, sometimes want to finish all, pain is to big, but in 2 min, your feelings are stronger, any way rational person suffer too, even find a lot of explinations, a lot of reasons, long distance is so hard to accept...but this is life, who are toghether dont know to apreciate, who are separated suffer...will be better for all i think

My husband and I are apart, too. he is in Florida and I am in Texas. We won't be together again for at least 5 more months. In our situation, we hardly talk at all since he works 18 hour days right now. he calls in the morning and then calls at night to tell the kids goodnight. That's about it. Our relationship is getting stronger, I do believe that, but we don't talk much. LOL We have also been toghter for over 10 years so we pretty much know everything there is to know. LOL It's hard, but it's worth it in the end. Hang in there. 5 months isn't all THAT long...seems like it sometimes, but it will be over soon.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Starline (339)   ranked 313 out of 8,520 in love  2 years ago

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.

Hello!
I must tell you i fully agree with your oppinion about LDR, because i`m in the same case too . Unfortunately me and my boyfriend meet only once .. or in good cases twice a month . I know that`s not enough .. but i can assure you our love is growing day by day .. because we keep on talking .. we talk about everything .. that makes us happy or sad .. or just chit chat .. it doesn`t matter ..as long we hear each others voice every day .We also have almost 5 months left apart .. but i think that if we survived 1 and a half year in a LDR .. 5 months will pass quicly and distance will surely won`t break us apart . When love really exists between 2 persons .. it doesn`t matter the distance .. the year difference or the social statute .. because together everything can be solved .


myLot reputation of 94/100. Starline (339)   ranked 313 out of 8,520 in love  2 years ago

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.


ChrissyGirl (99)   ranked 4,732 out of 8,520 in love  2 years ago

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 am also in a long distance relationship and I agree with you 100 percent. We have been doing this long distance thing a long time, and though it is tough at times it is very worth it.

I think that if you don't get to see the one you are with all the time like normal relationships it can make the relationship stronger. When you do actually get to see them it is so special, its an amazing feeling. It makes being with each other so much better. Thats how I feel at least!

I do dislike being so far away sometimes, but if you love someone and it is worth the wait, than I don't think long distance relationships are a problem.

Good luck with you and your husband!


myLot reputation of 94/100. Starline (339)   ranked 313 out of 8,520 in love  2 years ago

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

I have been threw it... Its hard... and costly too... we met through email... and get to know each other for 1 year by sending and reply email... 1 year after that, we continue with talking each other through phone... from that time my phone bill started to increasing rapidly... i meet her after a year then... finally, we got married and i move into his place... lucky for me, i had been transfer to my wife place 6 month before we got married...


myLot reputation of 94/100. Starline (339)   ranked 313 out of 8,520 in love  2 years ago

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.

I'm also in LDR. We've recently just met in person for the first time and it was the most wonderful week we've had. We live in the same country but an hours flight away, and we can only meet every couple of months or so. But we're happy this way and I've never had a better relationship with anyone else.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Starline (339)   ranked 313 out of 8,520 in love  2 years ago

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