Do long distance relationship work?

Long ago when I was 14 I

would have not believed in this

"long distance relationship"and

now it is just too late to repent

and remorse this relationship

because I have a great affection

for my boyfriend.

The story unexpectedly my beloved grandfather died on august 6th, 2003 and so all of my family had catched the nearest flight to guadalajara, mexico and from there drive to our ranch. It was a great loss for all of our family when my grandpa died and because so much we respected him, we couldn’t go out to parties, clubs, or anything; that would be considered unpoliced and brutal. I stayed home all day, everyday for 2 weeks just locked in there with my cousins and for a forget and to loose all this sorrow and torment and truly hell that we had, we were curious to know what was fun all about in that small ranch so we headed down to the plaza where all the events happen. There were guys that approached me, walking up to me like they knew me, and from all of them raul was truly devine in every way. Many guys tried talking to me and asking me questions and that just bothered me because I was not like that nor did I wanted a long distance relationship. But when I met raul, it had all changed and I had changed and I had hold anything possible. I didn’t get to talk to him ever because I had to leave to the u.S. The next day early in the morning.

Then I went back on december of 2003 and I wanted to take advantage of time and place unfortunately I couldn’t because I have 3 older overprotective brothers and of course my father which they didn’t let me date. We had left a week earlier than expected when my family had found out about raul.

Anything is possible and nothing was going to stop me. We kept in contact over the internet and over the phone and he had asked me out the week after I arrived to u.S. My boyfriend and I have been going out since january 7, 2004 and it has been more of me bringing in this relationship love, trust, communication, and encouragement through the good times and the bad times. I did have doubts that he cheated on me but I taught that I was going to find out sooner or later. If he had ever cheated on me without me knowing, it was ok because I can’t do anything about it and if he was being faithful he was being grateful. I believed in myself and in him and I knew that there were 4 bases to prolong this relationship; love, trust, communication, and encouragement through the good times and the bad times. It was not like I wanted to date anybody else or like I needed a boyfriend anyways. I didn’t know what was love and with him I learned the definition of love, but did i? I was confused because I didn’t understand how I discovered love on the phone and on the internet when we barely saw each other. I know I truly love him because you don’t necessarily need to look at the person you love right in the eye everyday to love. I talked to him and his personality astonished me everyday and I have 8 months doing the l.D.R. He actually came to visit me last month to santa cruz and that gave us a chance to fill up and love each other even more. Being together brought us even closer than we already were. I believe that long distance relatonships work because min is working and I hate it when I listen to my fiends storied that thye brake up with their boyfiends just cause they are far away, that is just pathetic and it is obvious that they are playing around. I am serous of my relationship and I will with my future ones. L.D.R do work it is just hinged on who and your partner feel and how you are planning to keep in touch.
