anyone on here in a long distance relationship? how is is working out for you? and how do you keep it working?

Question

I live in the states, and my bf lives in the UK

Answer 1

met my wife on the internet. we were living 6,000 miles apart, but kept communicating to each other thru YM and cell calls. gotta have trust and faith that things will work out for the best.

Answer 2

the only way to keep a long distance relationship alive is pure trust. you don't know what they are doing an vica versa. we all human an have needs. my husband lives in London an i live in Kent coast, work forces us apart, when we do get together every three weeks or so, we really appreciate each others company, have lots to talk about (cos we only chat on the phone once a week with few nice thought full text in between. as a rule tho, i have never found that this kind of relationship really works, sooner or later one person will want more than the other can supply. good luck an i hope you are the exception to the rule. x

Answer 3

Honey I've been in one of those relationships and I'm sorry to say that 9 out of 10fail.If you guys are not engaged then I suggest you stop wasting each other's time and move on. I know it sounds harsh but all it's gonna be about is phone bill after phone bill, you telling him things that you did, and him telling you what you wanna hear and at the end of the day you will eventually drift apart.
Men are visually stimulated (fact) and if you are not there for him to look at, he's gonna be looking elsewhere anyways. Women like attention (fact) and when he doesn't pick up the phone for the whole weekend or fails to return your call, you're going to feel neglected. As far as passion and romance is concerned, non-existent in your situation. So you both might wanna face reality and put your relationship on hold indefinately. Good luck (been there)!!!

Answer 4

I was in a relationship with a person in prison for 2 years and married to him the last year he was in prison, now we have been married for 5 so no matter what there is always hope. I couldnt pick up the phone and talk to him whenever I wanted, I couldnt get in a car or plane and go see him whenever I wanted. I had to sit in a visiting room for hours and hours before I would get to see him for only minutes sometimes, it was rough, but if you Love them .......it will work

Communication makes the diffrence .

Answer 5

not in one now, but was a few years ago. i live in london and the love of my loins lived in Dover. only able to see them on alternate weekends, very frustrating. talked a lot on the phone,even engaged in telephone sex,[though leaves a sticky mess on the handset, still fun]. love of my loins wanted us to move in together to spend more time together,[after only seeing each other for 3 months, felt it was way too quick]. the relationship started to deteriate afetr 4/5 months.[but that was me].
if you love someone, no amount of space or miles can seperate your feelings for each other, give it a try what have you got to lose, but a lot to share. go for it.

Answer 6

Well, before I moved me and my boyfriend were together for a year and a few months! Now, we call each other everyday, send each other letters e-mails pictures! I am going to visit him in December and he is working so he can pay for the plane ticket! Really, it works because of our love and trust for each other.

Answer 7
