Long Distance Relationship Advice?
Posted: 01-05-06 21:56pm

Um, i'm new, but I feel like I can't talk to anyone about this. I was seeing my boyfriend for not very long, but I had to come back to canada to graduate from high school. I'm going back after that. We're doing a long distance relationship, but this is all so new and I just wanted to know if anybody is or has had a success. We will be together after 6 months. I'm so in love with him, I would just love to hear any advice on how to do this, and if i'm being stupid. I'm so committed, I want to spend the rest of my life with him, and he with me, so i'll do anything to make it work. Any words of wisdom out there?

Hello Masterphone

I am in the same position as you are at the moment. I have been doin that whole "long-distance" relationship since may of last year. And it is no fun at all. I am constantly thinking baout my boyfriend and vice versa. The only advice that I can think to give to you is the same that you have probably already hear. Just stay strong and stay in touch. I know it seems really hard to stay in touch. And at times you may even feel like u just can not wait any longer. Been there done that. The thing that seems to work for me is to surround myself with my friends. Not all the time though cus I still want the time that I can get to talk to my honey dearest. But when i'm out spending time with my friends and having a blast it tends to get my mind off of him. But that isn't always the answer because if your boyfriend is anything like mine. It seems that at times he might be a little jealous that I am out so much. That is why u gotta be able to spend time with the ones you love and be able to have that time to tal to him on the phone. At times I am scared that my relationship will not work. And I don't want to lose him. And me friends will even tell me that long dis. Relationships do not work. But I believe that mine will. And that yours will as well. Stay dedicated and faithful. Always helps to be. Many rel. May not work but just believe and know in your heart that yours will succeed. Well I hope that this information was in any way helpful to you. And I hope that your relationship works out. Good luck.

Here I was thinking I was the only one.

My boyfriend and I have been doing the long distance relationship almost two years. It's difficult paying bills and then trying to save for a flight. Blah.

From what I have learned, is true love can survive anything and everything. A state line, an ocean, nothing can stand in the way of true love. It's very difficult. One thing long distance relationships rely on is trust. As long as you both trust each other and are able to stay comitted, then i'm sure you'll make it.

Just hang in there. Six months is nothing compared to two years. I'm sure if I can hold out for two years, then you can hold out for six months. :p

i wish you the best of luck.

Make It Work.

If you take a poll, u will discover more pple think long distance relationships fail. The truth is dat it does many times but there r evidences that show some succeed.

I told a friend b4 dat even if everybody says it fails, make d first person to be a winner. It takes 2 to tango. If d communication lines r open...It will work.

Don't decide alone. U 2 can make it work. All d best.

My bf & I live 1 1/2 hrs away from each other, that isn't to bad, we still get to see each other whenever. Like everyone else says, the main thing is trust & knowing that your bf won't cheat on you or anything. I tend to get upset when my bf is out with his friends all the time & not talking/seeing me. I just don't want to loose him & I think he feels the same towards me. We've been going threw this for a year & only have another year to go, but like I said we still get to see each other. One of the best things to have a healthy relationship is to distance yourself from each other. Not to much, but you don't need to be up each others butts all day every day. You'll be fine

Someone said - dont do it - that was a stupid advice.

I am myself in an ldr and its been 4 years and its working.

I want to recommend you a good ldr forum.
Go to www.Lovingyou.Com go to forums and there they have 2 sections - long distance relationships and ldr support.

Best of luck
