Kristina Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 I've been in a long distance relationship for about 6 months now, with a bumpy road in the middle. Things seem to be on the up right now. To those who are experts on LDRs, is it really hard to maintain a relationship from so far away? Link to post Share on other sites
Paradise Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 You can have LDR and it does work, but question is how far away are from him? With 6 months into your relationship, you need to decide what you want from this relationship. LDR does not last forever. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Kristina Posted June 3, 2004 Author Share Posted June 3, 2004 I failed to mention my LDR details...my boyfriend and I were together for 1 1/2 years before he moved 12 hours away. I've seen him twice in the past 6 months since he has been gone. We are planning on me moving to where he lives in a little over a year. It seems we will probably get to visit each other 4-6 times a year. Link to post Share on other sites

KitCat Posted June 6, 2004 Share Posted June 6, 2004 I'm not so sure about that. I think men can wait. You just have to find the right one. Lots of times it just takes the right girl to make a man do anything. If you two really believe in what you have with one another and you both want to be together no matter what, then it's not hard. I would just advise you to stay close and don't lose any intimacy and if you fear you're starting to drift...talk about it. "A little over a year" is really not a long time when you think about it. My boyfriend and I won't be able to be living together in the same city for about another 3 years. Yea, I know it sucks Even worse yet... we're about 4000 miles apart. But, we can't really imagine ourselves with anyone else... and we talk a lot and stay close. And most importantly is the trust. I've never trusted anyone more in my life... and he feels the same way with me. That's CRUCIAL. I think you can do it if you really want this. Just don't act on impulse during the hard times (which yes, there may be more of) and try not to think about it all the time. Good luck. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Kristina Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 Thanks for the good words, KitCat. It seems our relationships have a lot in common. My boyfriend and I are so in love and we both know we want to be only with each other forever, I guess that's what keeps us together. It's so hard to be in a relationship like this! Thanks for the help, and keep in touch! Link to post Share on other sites
