I’m in a long distance relationship, and it is really hard on me emotionally, because I want to spend so much time with her and have her here with me. Is anyone else in this situation like me, or has ever been in this situation? I only hope that one day me and my significant other can live in the same city, or even the same state. (luckily we live in the same country, haha)
Have never been in a long distance relationship.
I do understand the wanting to be with them when you cant, mainly when I go on trips and stuff like that that pulls me away from everyone for a while.
Luckily, you still get to see her, so every time you do, its special, because you haven’t gotten to seen her in a while, so its always something your strongly look forward too.
Do you get to talk to her on the phone or with MSN or another program like it? Hopefully you do, so you can keep up with whats going on, and plan things out for the next time she can come visit or you visit her.
Maybe you two could rent out an apartment together? =p
Interesting that you haven’t had any bites yet.
I wonder if Long Distance RElationships are especially rare among unicycling-types?
Possibly.
I have a friend who always does long distance relationships. The last one was about 1,500 mile difference.
At first it was going well, for almost a yer, but because it was so hard and stressful for them to ever see each other, and some other at home drama going on, it didn’t last.
happened to me for two years… seeing wife and kids every fortnight …
hard.
good thing kids recover easily: happened to me as a kid and no scars left
(probably worse for my mother)
at 20 i’d say end it. there’s a million other girls, many of whom live closer to you.
Not an option when you love them.
Hah yeah, its always easier to say that to someone, but much different when its happening to you.
Yeah they can be very hard. I think as long as you do get chances to see each other relatively regularly its not so bad though. My now ex girlfriend and I broke up because we didn’t want to have to deal with that. She moved back to Korea, and well me not speaking a lick of Korean, and since I would probably not be able to survive well in Korea, of course I stayed here. When its across the globe I think it is extremely unlikely it will work out, but the fact that you guys are still going strong and aren’t that far away, I imagine its hard, but at least you are in the same time zone (I think).
I’m finding it hard just to stay in touch with her right now, its a 15 hour time difference, so pretty much the only time we can call is morning over there, and evening here. But then we have to juggle around our schedules (hers being more difficult due to school there being much more difficult), I speak with her every couple months, and an email here and there.
So although I no longer have a long distance girlfriend, I can feel your pain mildly just communicating with close friends.
Mary and I dated long distance from 1981 to 1983 getting together every one to three months. She was going to school in Marquette, MI and I was first in school in DeKalb, IL and then in the military in San Antonio, TX. Of course this was all way before email and we didn’t have the money to call each other frequently. So we wrote letters. I wrote a letter every day for two years and only missed a handful of days during that time. It worked out because we were married in 1983 and have been together ever since.
eh, i did it for a couple years, and i got to see her every couple months. the space forces us to grow in different directions. it sucked but eventually we broke it off. not that long after i met my current woman(who i’ve been with for over 5 years).
Been there, done that, and it didn’t work.
But also been there, done that, and it did work.
Sometimes, it just doesn’t click and you grow apart. But sometimes things align perfectly, and you grow together despite the circumstances.
It can be difficult to bend love to fit in your life. It doesn’t always appear in convenient times or places. But if those letters, those phone calls, that little time you can spend together are worth it to you, then follow your heart. You could certainly do worse.
I had a LDR for 2 years. Good guy. The distance was never an issue because we were both independent and had mutual trust.
I broke it off because i found out he listened to Rush Limbaugh. Am I shallow?
I guess it boils down to the fact that we never really got to get to know eachother well enough early on. It took a long time to figure that out.
So it can be done if you have matching long term goals that will resolve the distance issue at some point.
Good luck!!
Not at all.
I have been in a long distance relationship for about 3 or 4 months now and we are still going strong. I would say that not being able to see eachother every few days has pulled us closer. We communicate better when talking over then phone because we arent distracted by wanting to go skiing or be active. Since I will be attending the same university next year we will be able to hang out. I would say that if we can get through this year, we will be much tighter when we can see each other. I totally feel your pain man, its absoluty killer, but I have a feeling that if you can stick it out, its going to end up fine.
How sweet!! I also have same feeling for you!! Im glad that I came U.S. and met you.
Love,Kaori
Me too.
Love, Alex
Shutup, stupid.
Love, Matt

I had a long distance relationship for about 6 months after graduating from college. If I hadn’t moved to where she lived we’d probably still be together to this day. 
YMMV.
That hurts, man.
Love, Alex.
I think you mean 768.
